Cannot place EPS image in empty box
InDesign 14.0.1.209
Mac OSX 10.14.3
sample file is attachedPlacing an EPS file generated from "Barcode" (by AppsForLife) does not work properly if the target box is empty. If box already contains a graphic, the file will place properly via "Place" or drag+drop.
On a new image box or box where the existing image has been deleted, the following occurs (via Place or drag+drop):
Image will seem to appear in the target box. Once mouse button is released, the imported image is no longer in the box and the pointer changes to a "placement selector" prompting to place the image in a new box.
Working with the developer of the software that generates these EPS files seems to track the issue to a line in the EPS file. Removing the line that begins "%%HiResBoundingBox" in a text editor causes the EPS file to behave correctly.
The developer has issued an update to their software that seems to fix this issue.
Other in the Adobe discussion have tested the attached file. They have been able to repeat the problem on OS X 10.14 (Mojave) but not earlier MacOS or Windows installs.
Although the issue seems to be corrected with the EPS software update, it was suggested I file a report here.

Edit all hyperlinks panel - like the Edit all Text Styles panel
This would allow quick changes to a host of links - especially useful when reusing layouts but changing images, content and links. A panel would allow the changes to links, and campaigns. It could have several columns which could be used to construct the links. Here, with examples:
URL
https://www.example.com/page.htmlSOURCE
(would add &utm_source=xxxx to the URL)MEDIUM
(would add &utm_medium=yyyy)CAMPAIGN
(would add &utm_campaign=zzzz)etc.
Many of the details in these columns would be identical throughout a new piece and being able to edit them all in one screen would be both a time-saver and a way to avoid errors and ensure consistency.

To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.
We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding : Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.
We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2020.0.1 (if you’re not already on it). It contains a lot of stability fixes.
If you still face this issue even after updating to the latest version of InDesign, please submit the crash report to us. (The guidelines to submit crash are available at (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html)

Export to PDF crashes when Printer's Marks checked on in PDF export window menu (Indesign 14.0.1 )
When I leave Printer's Marks unchecked, Indesign exports effortlessly.
Crashing while exporting to PDF happens with any design, regardless of the contents in the design (RGB, .ai files, etc.)
I have tested it on exporting older designs that have already been sent to print with printer's marks, prior to this issue.
Note: checking or unchecking Bleed and Slug don't interfere – only Printer's Marks do.
1 voteBased on user comments that the crash was no longer reproducible in 14.0.1, we’re closing this issue.

Edit and Copy text box, delete another box, copied box is lost
MacBook Pro (2018, 13-inch, 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i5), with High Sierra (10.13.6), and InDesign (14.0.1).
I have two text boxes - Box1 and Box2 - with text in them.
I edit the text in Box1, copy Box1 (not the contents; the text box itself).
I delete Box2 by pressing the Backspace key while Box2 is selected.
I paste, and get Box2.
Expected functionality: The box I specifically copied - Box1 - should be resident in the clipboard. Not Box2.
Deleting an item should NOT copy it to the clipboard and overwrite the previous clipboard contents.

Find Font reports fonts activated with Suitcase Fusion are in system folder - knock on effect in XMPie
- CC2019 Win10_64 (Suitcase Fusion 9)
2-4. Activate fonts with suitcase Fusion and use in job. Find Font will show the correct path to Fusion's font vault. After continuing to use InDesign and Fusion for a while, usually within 30 minutes of normal use, Find Font reports the same font is now in system folder.
This causes an issue with the XMPie uCreate plugin. When the incorrect path is shown, XLIM Preflight detects an issue with the font and won't allow the job to be exported. NB: I have recreated this bug with XMPie uninstalled.

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

Swatches should show text colour when character style is applied
When a GREP Style applies a character style that includes a colour change the Swatches panel and the Fill in the Control Panel do not show the applied swatch. The swatch shown is for the base style without the GREP Style applied.
In the attaches screen shot the green text is affected by a GREP Style. As you can see the Swatches panel shows the text is black, not the applies swatch.

How to clear round corner options
Recently I have set-up a corner options to drag rectangles with a specific round corner. Now I want to drag regular rectangles, with no round corners anymore. But when drag new rectangles they all have round corners.
Note that I have already set the corner option to 0 in the Corner options panel (Object menu). But nothing changes.

Adjust Minimum Increment Preferences
When using a document set up in inches, the default minimum measurement increment is .0625. It's really hard to work with increments this large when working with drop shadows, other effects, or working with space before and after. I'd love to be able to edit this default minimum increment so these things are easier to work with in inches.

Crashes while inserting a new page in between document
Im using Indesign CC 2019 to create a 180 paged book. While trying to insert a new page in between or delete a page, it keeps loading for a very long time (7-8 mins) and then shows a error message sometimes or mostly crashes.
This problem just started occurring from yesterday. So far the file was fine.
