not displaying all fonts
I install fonts from various sources and with various methods and INDD never shows all the fonts in the family. I just installed all 18 fonts from Montserrat through the Typekit site and INDD display 14 installed fonts. Same thing using Extensis Suitcase. I can activate 10 fonts and only 6 will display. Where are the rest of my weights?????

Mystery white hairlines showing up on edges of Published Online Document
I am having an issue with documents published online and viewed in Google Chrome. For some reason there are thin white hairlines showing up on the edge of certain pages that are not in the actual InDesign document. On a couple of pages in my book, I have made the background color the same as the background color that shows up in the browser, but these hairlines are still showing the edge of the page.
Screenshots of the white hairlines attached.

Footnote numbering in InDesign does not heed setting
I have a single indd-document containing a book with 300+ footnotes in it. I have set the footnote numbering to "Restart numbering at every --> Section" (i.e. Chapter).
But when I export the document to an EPUB file, InDesign does not heed this setting but keep running the numbering up to "348".
I suspect this is a bug in inDesign 2020 (15.0.1), as there seem to be no good reason for this behavior.

Poor consistency between menus and short cut key mappings
Hi there,
It is very difficult or obscure to map a short cut key. This is because the drop- down boxes in the short cut key editor consistently don't match the menus.
I am trying to match the menus to the short-cut-key editor. I am trying to map a short-cut key to Type->Hyperlinks...=>New Hyperlink.
Kind regards

hangs on export to epub3
I have one file that will not export at all. InDesign hangs every time and I have to force quit. I have tried not including the cover, the fonts, the TOC, in all combinations. I was able to export by opening the IDML in CS6. Mac OS 10.3.6 and InDesign CC 15.1
2 votesAs confirmed by the customer, the issue was due to hyperlinks inside footnotes in the document. Deleting them resolved the issue.

Outline color of tables changed
When I open a file which has been created in InDesign 2019 (by another person) with my version 15.0.1, some outline colors of the tables are displayed incorrectly. (not all of them) In my case they should all be 60% black, but some of them are 100% black now.

Proportion lock is ignored when scaling.
I've placed a bitmap on my page. When scaling it with the scaling tool and the proportion lock engaged, proportions aren't maintained.
2 votesScaling with the Scale Tool scales the objects without taking into consideration the Constraint Lock icon, it works independently of the state of this icon. Only when you use the W & H fields, the Constraint icon is used.
So, it is not a bug. You can also see this work similarly in Adobe Illustrator too.—

When using the Publish Online feature, effects applied to elements on a master page is causing white knockouts in the online viewer. Further testing showed that having type behind the master page effects appears to make the knockout go away.

Find/Change Search field always switches to "Story" after I choose to "Change All"
When using the Find/Change box on a text selection, the "Search:" field gets changed from "Selection" to "Story" after I press the "Change All" button.
This is incredibly annoying when I'm trying to change multiple things in the same selection, since I have to switch the option back between every change I make.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or how it's intended to work, but I hope it can be revised so that InDesign remembers my choice between changes.
I am using the most current version of InDesign at this moment, 15.0.12 votes -
Honor Word Break Boundaries for Overflowing Text / Line Breaking for Non-ZWSP Text
Lao (SEA Asian) text that doesn't already have ZWSPs included, doesn't automatically line-break, even though double-select word selection shows that the ICU/HarfBuzz engine is finding them. It would be nice to be able to set for paragraphs the ability to use non-ZWSP text and have ID automatically line-break based on the ICU/HarfBuzz word boundaries.
Not all people will want this, should it should be made easy to enabled/disable, because some people use ZWSPs to manually control layout features, and don't prefer automatic word-boundary analysis.

Preflight and color white problem
In the screen I am attaching an example of wrong preflight which creates many problems and slows down the work.
This malfunction was also present in previous versions of InDesign.
In the attached example, is used only one Pantone color and when I do preflight, it indicates 93 color as error.
So I have to check however all errors and lose a lot of time but the reported errors refer to the present white color2 votes -
Balance Columns Not Working for Tables
Balance Columns does not work for Tables.
Steps to duplicate:
1. Create a large Text Frame with two columns.
2. Enable Balance Columns on that Text Frame.
3. Create a Table in the Text Frame with a number of rows, say 10 rows.
4. Add a paragraph break, or return.
5. Create a line of Text under that Table that spans columns.
The Table ignores the Balance Columns Setting.2 votesThe fix for this issue is now available in the latest update of InDesign – that is, InDesign 15.0.2.
Please update your InDesign application to get this fix.

Save as... drop-/pulldown menu not working
Dropdown menu for saving as IDML file is not working. I have this problem for some (2-3?) years now. I have waited in hope it would be solved in a coming update, but after all those years it is still not solved. Therefore this bug entry.
