Text lag/slow when Documents Folder is present (package)
Since 15.03 there is a Text lag after opening documents that are in a folder that has a Documents folder. This delay has gotten worse in 15.1. If you're working from packaged InDesign folder, try deleting the document fonts folder inside it. Lagging was caused because of a double up in fonts on my computer. This took a month of testing by myelf and IT team to finally figure out!

Share for review
During this pandemic, I'm am trying to use the 'share for review' feature for a book I'm laying out. It is 600 pages, 300 spreads, about 333 MB file. It includes images and text.
I've designed other books -- the printer had no problem with the files
I'm using a Mac with InDesign 15.1.
When I tried to share the file, 4 pages - 2 spreads uploaded. I tried again and 8 pages - 4 spread, appeared for sharing. I didn't choose them, it is what InDesign randomly chose.
As an experiment, I created another file and tried to upload 100 pages. It worked.
I tried 200 pages. It didn't work. I received two different messages which I will attach. I tried to share a 150 page and received another artifact error.
Because of another message, I increased my cloud storage from 100 MB to 1 TB. So far that hasn't improved sharing but I wanted to make sure this wasn't the issue.
Is there a setting I'm not seeing or something I need to do first before trying to upload the complete file? Or is there a maximum number of pages before the share for review stops working? If so, it would be helpful to know in advance before trying to work with your help/support team who are not coming up with any help and referred me to this page.During this pandemic, I'm am trying to use the 'share for review' feature for a book I'm laying out.

Share for Review (15.1, ie. June 2020) color shift due to corrupt blend mode overlays
I feel like we've seen these kinds of issues before. But I noticed in the new "Share for Review" (InDesign 15.1) colors in a test document are shifting. A quick comparison shows that blend modes aren't been exported properly when sending a document up for "Share for Review."
In the screen shot, you can see what I mean: Top is the Review version as viewed in browser, bottom is the correct version as seen in InDesign. Some of the modes seem ok (Multiply, Normal opacity adjustments). But most blending modes aren’t rendering correctly (Hard and Soft Light look identical; Difference is something else entirely; even Screen isn’t looking right.)
Verified it isn't a browser issue or even an RGB export issue.
While this doesn't affect the ability to generally review a document, I can imagine a lot of feedback along the lines of "images look wrong" if using blending modes on overlaid objects.
Tested with both Ai objects embedded in Id document, as well as shapes created directly within Id.

Character Alternates Contextual Menu not working in InDesign with Hebrew Support
Note the following checkbox:
Preferences > Advanced Type > Type Contextual Controls > Show for Character Alternates, Fractions, Ordinals and Ligatures
If checked, whenever a character is selected a contextual menu with alternates should appear (if supported by the font, of course).
It's working in the English (International) version, but not in the English (Hebrew Supporting) version.

All InDesign 15.0x EXTREMELY SLOW
All InDesign 15.0x is EXTREMELY SLOW, almost unusable.
I had to go back to version 14.03 to be able to work. This is on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, v1909. It takes minutes to paste a picture.

PDF Comments
I really like this feature and it is a big benefit to my workflow. However, I find the ability to cut or copy from the comments virtually impossible. Would be great if you guys could make this aspect more user-friendly.
Many thanks and stay safe

Alt text not appearing for images across spreads
in ID 2020, image across double-page spreads will generate an alt-text error when exported to accessible PDF. This problem goes away when saved as IDML and opened in ID 2019.

proportional scaling
When I click and drag to re-size a text box or picture box, the proportions are constrained even though I'm NOT holding shift, and the lock button next to width and height is NOT selected.
Just started today. I've shut down and re-started my computer. I've closed and re-opened InDesign. I've downloaded the most recent update for InDesign.

Lagging/text doubling when changing paragraph styles
When changing paragraph styles the remaining text moves, but kind of doesn't refresh without me clicking away from the frame with the cursor or zooming in. What happens is I get double text which is confusing. Crashing is happening too at this point.

unasked for font changes in 15.0.2
It isn't so much an idea as a major problem. I upgraded to 15.0.2 yesterday and now fonts are being changed involuntarily and when I go into find font, I can't change them back. The names say they are there but the file looks like ****. I've gone back to InDesign CC 2019 to work, because I am completely stuck in CC 2020.

publish
Latest version of ID...
A MP3 file placed into ID with On page load selected in the media panel and placed anywhere in the layers panel, or even alone on a page with no other objects, audio does not play On Page Load when exported to Publish Online, plays fine if you create a button and have that button play the file though.

15.0.1 doesn't find fonts in document fonts folder
If I open a document that has a Document fonts folder [in the same folder as the document itself], InDesign 15.0.1 consistently fails to find those fonts or let me select them. So the document opens showing all those fonts as missing and there's no way to fix the problem.

InDesign 2020: crashing, undo doesn't work, missing fonts, text wrap is broken, so many bugs
The Undo bug is back. I tried to undo some text (in a table) and it reverted the document back to the previous save and then crashed.
On re-opening, ID complains that it can't find my installed fonts that I used in the document. They show up in the document, it just complains that they are not there. These are fonts that I bought and installed, so I know they are available.
I have also been having problems with text wrap not working half the time. I set a box (I've tried both image and text boxes) to text wrap and nothing will happen. Text still flows under the box. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it suddenly starts working on things that wouldn't text wrap the day before, so there is no way to try to repeat the bug to figure out the trigger.
Also, the mechanism to convert a 2020 document back to 2019 so I can actually get things done with working software doesn't work, go fig. It crashed when I tried to use it.

I am experiencing exactly this issue (see link below).
I don't understand how you have ignored so many user requests and done nothing about this issue in nearly 7 years!
