Tabs in Arabic text move weight declaration to the wrong place
When placing an Arabic weight statement (e.g. "13g") followed by a tab and a percentage (e.g. "19%"), the weight declaration ("g" or "mg") moves to the percentage when exporting to pdf. Only when setting PDFX/1a:2001 is selected the output is correct. But this setting removes all layers and flattens transparencies so it's not very useful.
A workaround is to place a space after the tab (so on the left side since this is a right to left language).
See screen shot in attachment. On top = InDesign file, bottom = pdf created from this file using PDFX/4. The top line in the Indesign file has no space after the tab, resulting in a wrong placement of the "غ" (= Arabic "g") as marked red in the screen shot.When placing an Arabic weight statement (e.g. "13g") followed by a tab and a percentage (e.g. "19%"), the weight declaration ("g" or "mg") moves to the percentage when exporting to pdf.

Image Links
After an image is placed in a document (first selected as "Place" in Bridge") the image is then selected, using the label "Select" in Bridge. In the InDesign document the link will become brokenand needs to be relinked. If the marking of the image in Bridge is not done then the linking problem doesn't not occur.

new version switches back to older version
I use InDesign for our school newsletter. I'm having issues with it switching from 2017 version to 2018 on any given day. This could be a department issue or could it be the program. Very frustrated with it at the moment. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

Bug - Crop image data exceeding frame
Objects outside of the frame are still showing as hidden objects in a PDF. During export I made sure the Crop image data exceeding frame box was checked. However objects are still seen as ghost text.

Page palette
My page palette shows both the master-pages and the document pages outside the palette margins in vertical view. I can sort of work around it when selecting horizontal view but it is messy and still cuts of some of the pages on the outside.
Restoring the preferences when opening Indesign fixes this bug but it's annoying. Is there a permanent solution for this?1 vote -

Custom story editor text color to does not change picture box icon color rendering invisible on black background
When changing the Story Editor Display text color to something other than black, the picture box icon color does not change to match. If the background is set to black (such as with the "Terminal" theme), picture boxes are no longer visible in the story editor. Only can be seen when highlighting the text.
Would like the picture box color to match the text color when using story editor.

New Document Thumbnails
I don't see the added value of the 'Thumbnails' in the New Document panel.
Those are rather confusing than functional, since all have the same aspect ratio.
Won't it be nice when the default icon reflects the actual orientation and aspect ratio?1 voteThis has been fixed in later versions of InDesign, check the latest version for change.

A5 paper size wrong
The paper size for A5 in the presets is technically wrong as it should be 148.5mm wide and not 148mm. You can't change the built-in presets but it would be really helpful to do so as our onward print workflow relies on 148.5mm wide files and it's really annoying to have to change it after it's all been designed if you forget to change the page size at the beginning.
1 voteA5 is exactly 148×210 mm and the customer has confirmed that there is nothing to fix.

Master page bug
When I try to adjust a master page in Indesign cc2019 (14.0.1) it makes a real mess. It used to be that if I had, for instance, a master page with a 6p margin on all sides and including threaded text boxes across the spread, if I changed the outer margin to 7p instead, the text box would automatically fit the new space. Now, the text box box turned into a very tiny box in the inner margin that has no relation to the margins I have set. In addition, other boxes on the page which are not part of the threaded text jump into strange and useless positions. For a book designer this is a nightmare. It means when you are working on a design you spend endless extra time readjusting boxes that then, for some reason don't always work correctly on the actual book pages. This NEVER happened in CC2018 so I think it's a bug or at any rate a major mess-up. Please fix!

Adobe InDesign 14 always launches on a wrong monitor out of two.
All good with Photoshop, Illustrator, etc, but Indesign keeps opening every time on a wrong monitor no matter what. Plus, even when you drag it to another display, all the dialog boxes keep appearing on a different monitor. Moreover, it resets your workspace to Essentials every time and it take you some time to set it up again after start. Annoying and counterproductive
Thanks,

Export defaults are not sticky anymore after update
When you hit Ctrl+E it used to use the last [pdf] export profile that had been used, but now it's always 'Adobe (Interactive) PDF' now. Might sound like a minor issue, but when you have to go through lots of pages one by one it just a massive waste of time going each time through File-Adobe PDF Presets-Needed One (using mouse).
Can't see where it can be backed? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Henry
p.s. Thought it could be resolved through Keyboard shortcut, but apparently you can't make it for a specific preset, and Ctrl+E [as mentioned] is not "sticky" anymore
Raised a topic here https://forums.adobe.com/message/10707424#10687456 Nothing helped unfortunately.

Landing page form doesn't work when accessed by Publish Online link
But, the form does work when accessed by ePub and PDF.
I suspect this issue is with the landing page, which my client had another contractor create, and the page is unsecure, FWIW.
But, it just seems odd, that the form works (accepts and sends user info) coming from ePub and PDF, but does not when coming from the Publish Online link on browsers Firefox and Chrome. Safari does work.
Any ideas?
I've included links to the PDF and the Publish Online file. The link to the landing page/form in question is on the last page (page 8), click the blue button "Try it out" to get to the landing page with form, then enter info and click submit.

Won't open some .indd files
CC 2019 14.0.1
Some .indd files will not open. They've opened previously, and SOME very similar files will still open. When I doulble-click or open from the ID app, nothing happens. No errors. Just nothing. Tried copying files to desktop or duplicating/re-naming with no luck. Tried copying and changing extension to .idml, still no luck. Rebooted my machine, same. Deleted preferences, same. Uninstalled and re-intalled the app, same.1 vote -
Unable to type the í character
When typing, inDesign doesn't receive the í character. On the Hungarian keyboard the í can be entered as AltGr+J. When typing the text, and pressing AltGr+J, sometimes the í doesn't appears, but the Paragraph options dialog pops up. Pressing one more time the AltGr+J types the í. This is a problem in the newer versions, in the CS6 version this wasn't a problem.

Object distribution disapeared from Advanced Settings
Even object distribution has been removed from the Advanced layout and can only be seen in Essentials or Essentials Classic. I updated InDesign 2019 on 02/02/2019 and this issue suddenly appeared.

Quadclick to edit text in grouped textframes doesn't work anymore
(14.0.1 x64, Windows):
Switching from CS6 to CC.
The Task: you have a group of items. The groupd also contains a textframe with some text. You want to edit this text. There is a change in the way you can "click-into" the group and into the text edit mode.In CS6
- you doubleclicked on the textframe in the group (that selected the textframe in the group), and you doubleclicked again onto the text to get to edit the text (textcursor). It was fast. Basicly a quad-click.In CC:
- That quad-click doesn't work. You have to doubleclick-PAUSE-doubleclick. And that nescessary pause, for which you don't get any feedback, is quite long. If you don't make a pause you can click forever and nothing happens, you're still stuck with the selection of the textframe. You can no longer click "downwards/into" stuff anymore.(This is such a basic task that i am faced with this problem hundred times a day. That's how painful this is)
Please restore the faster behaviour.

Problem aligning workspace elements on second screen 14.0.1
Working on a second screen with my MacBook Pro laptop, elements of the workspace are not moveable. Please see image to understand the moveable points on those tabs appear to be off-screen and are not on the laptop either. I've tried numerous workspaces, but this problem persists.

page tab
Thumbnail page numbers does not show at the bottom of pages tab.
It has a easy work around of extending the tab in documents that are not too long, or counting the page numbers, anyway it's an annoying UI problem.
