1. Undo does not work properly on deleted text, it only deletes one character at a time instead of whole block of text

   I am on a Mac and this is a problem with InDesign 2018.

   If you backspace delete two or more characters from text, undo (Ctrl+Z) only restores one character at a time instead of the whole block that was deleted in that action.

   Undo worked fine in previous versions of InDesign, and it works fine in Word and other apps.

   I have tried deleting InDesign preferences and caches and even reinstalled it with import previous prefereces unchecked, but the problem remains, and I cannot find any solution. Can someone please help?

   Macbook Air now running High Sierra 10.13.2 (but problem was stlll there in previous versions of OSX.

2. Discretionary Line Break doesn't work in CC 2018

   In InDesign CC 2018, text won't automatically break where a Discretionary Line Break is inserted—such as after an Em-dash. This feature worked in InDesign CS6.

4. Error Message "you cannot reverse this change with the edit > undo command".

   This comes up continuously. The only way you can dispose of it is by shutting the program down. Apparently I am not the only person, as it been reported before. See the Adobe forum the same problem - forums.adobe.com/thread/2292990

   This makes it an official problem not exclusive to my experience.

   Do we have fix???

6. World Ready Paragraph Composer not working for Tibetan

   Adobe 2017.1 release, build 12.1.0.56

   Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer (AWRPC) for Tibetan fonts does not work in InDesign. While this was not an issue in CS4 since the Adobe Paragraph Composer (APC) was working well for at least two fonts (Jomolhari-ID and SambhotaUnicode), it has become an issue preventing us from using any later versions of InDesign: the APC became unusable for Jomolhari (our main font), and since the AWRPC was never completely working, we are now in a situation where neither APC or AWRPC works… (though SambhotaUnicode still works for APC only).

   Jomolhari-ID can be downloaded here: https://collab.its.virginia.edu/access/content/group/26a34146-33a6-48ce-001e-f16ce7908a6a/Tibetan%20fonts/Tibetan%20Unicode%20Fonts/Jomolhari-ID-a3d.zip

   Attached are some self-explaining screenshots (testing 3 different fonts, with both paragraph composers):

   In ID CS4: all three fonts work well for the Adobe Paragraph Composer (the highlight in the SambhotaUnicode disappears when unticking the “Substituted Fonts” option in the Composition preference), but not for the Adobe WR Paragraph Composer:

   In ID CC 2017 (latest version): we can see that while APC works for most glyphs, it stops working well with special characters like the "inverted guigou” (though still working with one font only). But the AWRPC still doesn’t work at all...

   So we would like to request the Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer to investigate the issue, in order to be able to use all the available Tibetan Unicode Fonts that actually work well in Microsoft Word, for instance.

8. Spell checker in InDesign CC2018 (13.0) has lost its mind

   InDesign spell check is randomly not recognising everyday words and when I acknowledge it by clicking Ignore All or Skip, it stops again on the very next word to report an Uncapitalised Sentence. This is happening whether I have the Dictionary set to Proximity or Hunspell.

   I cannot find a pattern other than that, but I have now experienced it on ten different InDesign documents. It is very annoying, but I am also left to wonder whether it is actually missing other words that might actually need correction?? PLEASE HELP.

   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 (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)

11. Recent file panel

    When Indesign first opens, the time stamp on the recent file is not correct. Some of the files are marked "in an hour" as when they were opened. Others are just marked as 4 hours ago.

    Hello All,

    Thank you for your patience all this while.
    We had launched our investigation into the matter to get to the root cause of the problem. As the part of our investigation, we had reached out to many of you personally over email.
    We have concluded our investigation and have come up with few findings.

    1. For many of the users the issue got fixed after updating InDesign to a newer version.
    2. For some, the issue got resolved after disabling a third-party application such as Suitecase fusion etc.
    3. For few, the issue was intermittent and is no longer reproducible.
    4. For majority of the users, the underlying cause of the performance issue was identified to be related to span columns, cross-references, third party plugin etc.

    We have created separated threads for these issues and we are now working towards resolving them.

    However, over the time this thread has become too generic to serve its purpose effectively. As per your feedback and the outcome of our investigation we have created multiple threads to address each root cause separately and effectively.
    If you are facing any slowness in InDesign or seeing any other performance issue, we request you vote for the relevant thread or create a new thread specifying the action/workflow which is slowing you down.
    We seek your support in our continuous effort to improve InDesign.

14. Tool fly outs appearing on wrong monitor

    I am using a dual monitor setup, my left hand monitor is a standard widescreen monitor, my right hand monitor is a Wacom Cintiq.

    When I have InDesign maximized on the Wacom and attempt to access a fly out menu on the toolbar it opens the fly out menu on the very right-hand edge of the standard monitor. Which makes it impossible for me to select from the fly out menu without having to put down the stylus, switch to a mouse, and repeat the action to bring up the fly out menu and then select the item I wanted. This issue does not occur in Photoshop or illustrator.

16. CC'15-'17 All hyperlinks missing/removed after round trip with InCopy editors

    I am a designer and build corporate white papers anywhere from 35-100+ pages in length. We use the layout InCopy workflow with one assignment and all stories exported under that. After I import and design/format all content including hyperlinks, I then save for the editors for use in InCopy. They then do their work, and save for me, standard. Upon opening, all the hyperlinks are missing with a "red flag" denoting the ref. is missing . Oddly enough, for the past two documents we made, you could still export to PDF with the links functioning, this despite all the missing URL info in the hyperlinks panel. It seems embedded but not recognized. Sometimes you can right click on a link in the ID layout and it will also "go to destination," but the info is not present in the hyperlinks panel. Because the functionality was there for us, we ignored the hyperlinks panel for 2 major docs. With the latest document, the same thing happened, only this time we lost functionality too, which brought me here looking for answers. Hope this gets fixed, as I had to manually input 100+ links to finalize our document today! A couple variables: Our InCopy users are on PCs, where I am on a Mac. We also use 'Box' for file sync, primary stations are designer in the US and editors in Dublin.

17. Export from book file default to wrong filetype

    CC 2017 12.0.0.81
    Using the regular export menu, export an interactive PDF. That becomes the default. But now I want to export a Print PDF from the book panel, it keeps defaulting back to interactive PDF. So to make its I don't have to remember to choose Print PDF (for every single export), I have to first export a random Print PDF using the regular export menu, just to switch the default in the Export Selected files to PDF option.

    The two export locations: File > Export and using the flight from the Book panel, shouldn't be tied together. They should have their own defaults.

20. Stuck on adding font, other background task get stuck in queue that never clears

    Occasionally I open a document that tries to add fronts in background, it fails then the task is added to Background Tasks and hangs indefinitely. Then if I try to export a PDF, it is added to background tasks but will not progress until the fonts are added, which they never finish loading.
