Type is shifting inside text box upon moving.
>>>I've been noticing when I use the type tool, I can fill it as normal. Style things with the appropriate fonts/colors but should I move the box it self to a new location the spacing above the font will grow or shrink and shift everything inside that text box. It almost acts like it is adjusting like it has text flow around an image feature selected. Sometimes remove all the styles then re-applying them will fix it but this is issue had been annoying me for maybe the past 2 months.

Disappearing text when I type the character ,,T"
>>So, I have an InDesign file, which is a brandbook for a partner. Few paragraph styles and some items, nothing secial. I use Prompt (Google font) installed on my system. As soon as I hit (smallcaps) T when writing the text OR becomes unvisible or it breakes to the basic paragraph style AND it wont display the T. IF I copy and paste the text from outside of InDesign then it displays T. And the All Caps T works as well. This bugg is really annoying. Could you look into this issue?

text colour tint dropdown menu bug
>>Changing the text colour tint from 70% black to 100% black in Paragraph Styles crashes my M1 Mac mini 100% of the time.
>>Trying to manually change the text colour is not possible because when I click on the drop down menu for colour and tint in the control bar, the menu either doesn't appear at all, or appears for a few milliseconds and then disappears. I officially cannot work on my document now. What to do?!

Text appears heavier over a transparent image
>>When text is in a layer above an image that has its basic blending mode set to "multiply" the text is rendered with a darker outline. This does not appear in the final PDF, only the preview, but it makes it extremely difficult to judge font sizes and whether text is bold.
>>To reproduce:

- >Create text in a text box. >
- >Insert a JPEG image on the page. >
- >Use the Arrange option on the image to "send to back" so that it is in a layer below the text >

auto page numbering does not work with auto-size text box

Applying a paragraph style causes text to appear duplicated on screen, but it's not really.
>>>CC 2018, OS High Sierra, both most current, brand new install on a brand new iMac Pro.
>>If I apply a style using a key command, 90% of the time the text from the cursor down goes crazy, looks duplicated. But if I hit the key command again, or click off the paragraph, or scroll, it goes away and is normal. So it's not really duplicating anything as far as I can tell. I screen captured exactly what it looks like.

can't delete all OR multiple missing links at once?
>>break, remove, delete all OR multiple missing links at once? I thought it used to be able to do this -- I can't find it anywhere in 2019 or 2020.
>>If not, why the heck not? It's obviously a useful feature. And I can't find anything anywhere using multiple search engines.
>>and NO I do not want to watch a video that may or may not answer the problem -- I want to scan a page of text & images to see if it is relevant since no titles appear -- they're all about updating or repairing.

Highlighting text in a table does not highlight the corresponding text in the story editor

>>When I highlight text in a table, I would expect the same text to appear highlighted in the story editor. Instead, the story editor jumps to the beginning of the document.

Endnotes are out of sequence in captions and sidebars
>>>I work on books that often have endnotes in captions or sidebars. The captions/sidebars are always set up as separate frames (and sometimes as anchored objects). Any endnotes in separate frames end up at the end of the endnote list, regardless of where they fall in the page order.

Import Word file - cannot set 'Import as Static Text' as Default Preset
>>When I import a Word document I want the option 'Import as Static Text' ticked all the time.
>>The problem is that if I tick 'Import as Static Text' and make it a new Default Preset, InDesign remembers this until I quit InDesign and then relaunch it. The relaunched InDesign doesn't remember it - it remembers the Preset name, but it doesn't remember to tick 'Import as Static Text'.
>>This happens in CC2019 and CC2020. Could you please fix it so that the Preset you make remembers to keep 'Import as Static Text' ticked all the time,

Crash on save, all work lost

> Working on an existing document. Nothing out the the norm. Just basic single-user InDesign. Upon save, it said the "document needed to be repaired and some unsaved changes might be lost".
