InDesign 2020 (version 15.1.2)

Stability

  • [Windows] InDesign performs slowly while working simultaneously on two INDD documents having same fonts in their respective Document Fonts folder.
  • InDesign document hangs while recovering the damaged document. 
  • [mac OS] InDesign crashes when you try to quit the application after auto-activation of a Font in some cases. 
  • InDesign crashes randomly while rendering a document. 
  • Intermittent crashes on loading the workspace.
  • InDesign crashes on launch in proxy environment.
  • InDesign crashes while working with EPS images. 
  • [Windows] Intermittent crash on PDF Export.
  • InDesign crashes intermittently on switching context to/from text insertion.
  • InDesign crashes intermittently while importing an image.
  • InDesign crashes when you immediately quit the app after launching.
  • While exporting InDesign document to HTML, Indesign can crash if you specify the export option as Copy image > link to server path and if the document has single character image file names.
  • InDesign randomly crashes while quitting the application.

Usability

Core feature and workflow

  • [mac OS] Resizing the text by holding the keyboard shortcut while making long ascenders and descenders using Variable Fonts creates images of previous position.
  • [mac OS] Variable Fonts do not work in InDesign and the sliders appear as disabled.
  • HTTP links fail due to incorrect encoding of path elements by URI class.
  • [macOS]Unable to check out InCopy files that are saved on a network location in Windows.
  • Pasting a URL that contains diacritics results in a non-reachable URL.
    Note: Refresh the hyperlink if found in legacy documents.

Improvement to new features

Production

Scripting

  • The Script Editor does not launch when you choose Edit Script option for Apple Script.

 

Copy Editor (Beta)

 

 

Copy Editor (Beta)

Copy Editor (Beta) is an easy alternative to type text faster when you experience a lag while typing. All you need to do is to launch Copy Editor (Beta) as you type in the text box and continue to type in the new window, to avoid any lag. 

For more information, see Use the Copy Editor (Beta)

Review panel enhancement

You can experience improved review panel workflows from within InDesign and resolve comments effectively.

just updated to 15.1.2 and all my documents with hyperlinks in tables now have a massive vertical blue line down the middle of the document which I can't remove unless I delete the whole column with the hyperlinks in, this has seriously impacted my work as all my documents up to today, including my master template files now have this error!!

on further investigation - this is caused by the default Hyperlink style setting when you add a hyperlink and use hyperlink style - this line appears!

Updated and no sign of the Copy Editor (Beta). It's not shown in the menu. I also tried the shortcut but nothing. 

I'm using the Swedish version but the Swedish "whats-new" page shows info about it.

Can I activate beta features somewhere?

I also have the same question as the previous post. Why do we need two text editors?

I believe Copy Editor (Beta) isn't available in all languages. During prerelease, the product manager wrote: "You will not be able to see the Copy Editor unless you are working on the Roman feature set and English UI based InDesign."

 

I think the Copy Editor (Beta) is basically a workaround if you're encountering slow typing speed in InDesign. I don't see it as a permanent solution.

Incidentally, version 15.1.2 is being rolled out around the world over a week. It's not yet available in all localities.

I won´t ever and never understand why we need a clone of Story Editor (CTRL+Y). 

Remember, never say you can't do something in InDesign, it's always just a question of finding the right workaround to get the job done. © David Blatner
