2. Paste with Formatting Button Obscures Text

   > >The new button to paste with or without text formatting is positioned so it covers up punctuation at the end of the text. This is a problem because you can't tell if the punctuation is correct and present unless you deselect, press Esc, etc. The button should be positioned lower, like the old OpenType button so all the text and punctuation can be clearly seen.> >

5. Clicking document-installed font from font list gives error to "activate font" and doesn't change font.

   > >InDesign 14.0 on Windows 10 x64> >I just upgraded to InDesign 14.0, and there appears to be a bug when clicking a document-installed font from the font list.

Create a new document in InDesign.> 2. Create a new text frame with the word "Test." Save and then close.> 3. In the same location as your new document, create a "Document fonts" folder. Copy an OTF or TTF font file into this folder. In my case, I copied "Sacremento-Regular.ttf" into this folder.> 4. Reopen the new InDesign document you saved in step 2.> 5. Select the text in the text frame. Note the current font (most likely Minion Pro).> 6. From the type list, select the document-installed font you copied into the "Document fonts" folder.> 7. Note the "Click 'Activate' button to activate fonts" error message, and that the font for the text frame has remained the same.> >

8. InDesign 19.4 crashing when clicking on text box

   > >I have a Lenova ThinkPad Windows laptop on Win 10 Enterprise, Build 19045. After updating from 19.3 to 19.4, the program began crashing whenever I clicked on a text box.> >I tested with different documents with the same results. I tried a few of the "usual" fixes for crashes (including removing the prefs folder and exporting to IDML) with no success, so I downgraded to 19.3. Downgrading fixed the problem, so there appears to be a compatibility problem with my system.> >

10. Spanning columns sometimes makes my text move to the next page

    > >I'm trying to span some text and every time I do that text jumps to the next page. I have the keep options to anywhere so it's not a style sheet issue.

11. Anchored Textframes with Auto adjusting height within a Textfreame

InDesign should not fail to update the current view.> >Actual Result: All Textframes are misaligned because InDesign does not update correctly – If you dare to move the "master" text frame now it gets even stranger. - The only way to update it to the correct look is to force InDesign to update the text frame by changing something like space after in the "master" text frame. (See video and Screenshot attached)> >See attachment> >Usecase: for Example DatabasePublishing inline publication - where every here shown "Textframe" would be a product within a Page – But it is impossible to work like this! – I could be wrong but i have a feeling that this is happening since the disapearing Tablehead bug got fixed (unconfirmed...) i don't have the option to test it in an older or newer version - but we never had this issue before.> > >

13. Using text variables causes highlighting text in PDF to be inconsistent/scrumbled

    > >When exporting to PDF from a file including text variables, it results in text in pdf that it is impossible to highlight correctly. and therefore - it is impossible to mark PDF comments on it. Screenshot and PDF files are attached.> It only happened with ARIAL font, and only in certain book files (that were created in previous ID version). I couldn't recreate the bug in another file.> When I removed the text variables the PDF was exported fine.> I also had another kind of conditional text I made in these files - it was a sentence written inside the 'Text After' field in Bullets & numbering tab in a Paragraph style, and would show on book only when typing something (I used space) using this paragraph style. This kind of conditional text had the same effect on PDF text, and when removed - PDF got exported fine.> >Indesign 14.0.1 on OSX 10.14.2> >
