Styles for buttons and forms
It would be nice to be able to create styles for the buttons and forms so you don't have to manually adjust it when your document has heaps of the same fields.
Even just being able to change the default settings would be useful. I have to waste so much more time having to manually change each field setting.Who decided that Minion Pro, 12pt and scrollable was what people wanted?
Also, why would a checkbox by default be checked, most of the time you want a checkbox not to be checked when creating a form??3 votes -
InDesign doesn't sort numbers at the beginning of filenames naturally when placing multiple files, instead opting for alphabetical
InDesign CC 2020, 15.1.2 (Mac, but possibly Windows, I can't test)
Place multiple image files where filenames start with increasing numbers (e.g. page numbers).
Expected: files get placed in order 1, 2, 3, ..., 10, 11, ..., 100, 101, etc.
Actual: files get placed in order 1, 10, 100, ..., 2, 20, 200, 201, 3, ..., etcIt doesn't follow the OS implementation of natural order sorting, so placing a lot of images doesn't match the Finder. It instead uses alphabetical sorting, which is counterintuitive.

Variable font: Italic character wrongly displayed when exported to PDF format from InDesign.
I'm reporting this bug on behalf of the type design studio Dalton Maag. To reproduce: use the provided test font, write the lowercase letter "p" in Indesign, and choose the "Hair Italic" instance, or equivalently, set:
- the font's weight axis to the minimum,
- the width to its default value
- the italic axis to its maximum.Glyphs are shown without fault within InDesign itself. However, when exported to PDF format and opened on Acrobat Reader, there is an issue with how the letter “p” is displayed (see aktiv_vf_p_bug.png).
We are suspecting the issue is caused by a point…

Czech Winsoft dictionary is broken: all lowercase words are marked as misspelled (CC2020)
The spellcheck of Czech text is not working correctly if you select Winsoft dictionary in all versions of CC2020: it marks all words starting with lower case letter as wrong and recommends capitalising ALL words. Unfortunately the Winsoft dictionary is the only option for Czech language as both Hunspell and Proximity are really bad.
1 Type Czech text
2 Set Winsoft dictionaries in InDesign preferences
3 Run spell checker
4 All words in lowercase will be marked as misspelled (each word is treated as if it stands at the beginning of a sentence)Expected result: see CS6, Winsoft dictionaries work…

optical margin alignment and index entry
I have optical margin alignment turned on. When I add an index entry, if the line it is in has a margin adjustment on the left side, then the right edge of the line becomes indented the same amount as the adjustment. I am currently using ID 15.1.1, but I have seen this error since at least CS 6.

When I share to review, weird things happen
I have InDesign 15.1.1 and I've been using the new Share to Review feature often. I've noticed that my text and tables would completely disappear on random pages and the Table of Contents became messed up as well. To make the text reappear, I had to adjust the size of the frame by a pixel or two then it would return. It didn't matter if I made the frame bigger or smaller.

The app.doScript () statement no longer works since version 15.1.1...
The script that I am attaching works up to version 15.0 and does not work with the next versions (certainly with version 15.1.1). The error that returns is "Unable to load Adobe Indesign Type Library 1.0" (translated from Italian). It does not seem to me that there are incompatibilities with the app.doScript () statement that generates the error.

Open recent items gone!!
Up until the last version of Indesign, we could go File > Open Recent and find files that we've been working on. With the latest update 15.0.2 this has now gone :(
Now I'm using MORE time going through Finder to find these files!!

Unable to Save Document
Indesign 15.1
Opened file I have worked on before. Added some text. Went to 'undo' an action and couldn't with key command or 'Edit>Undo'.
Then thought I would try and close out of Indesign and restart to see if that helped. Tried to save file. Could not save file with key command or 'File>Save'.
Options—Save, Save As, CheckIn, Save A Copy, and Revert—are all grayed out and unusable, as well as many options under the Edit menu as well.-

package folder name
INDD 15.1, Mac OS 10.15.5
With the 15.1 update, when packaging a file, the folder name is no longer highlighted. I, like most people, delete the word "Folder" that INDD adds to the packaged folder name. In previous versions, the folder name was highlighted in the package window so that hitting the right arrow would move the cursor to the end allowing one to delete "Folder." Now one has to click into the name field to change it. This release has added an extra step. Please revert to how it used to work. Or better yet, stop adding "Folder" to…3 votes -

InDesign 2019/2020, PDF export deletes components of some composite CJK glyphs when they overlap
Install the test font in the attached zip and open the the InDesign document. Exporting to PDF clears out the top part. This did not happen in 2018.
I initially reported this to Josh Hadley on 23 Jan 2020, who wrote up an internal report and came back to me, saying the InDesign team could reproduce and suggested working around the issue by decomposing everything or diverting the export through PostScript/Distiller. A very large client told us that this is not an option for them and would like a direct fix.

Problem with changing the cursor to text - Indd 2020
Hello. After running the latest version of InDesign CC 2020 v. 15.03. x64, I have a problem with changing the cursor to text and to back. It takes about 40-50 seconds. This happens each time you launch InDesign. The size of the processed file does not affect the error. Thanks for feedback.
