    Known issues

    Please refer to Adobe Support http://www.adobe.com/go/customer_support for late-breaking information and known issues for all Creative Cloud applications.

    • InDesign stops responding if the user clicks on Manage Creative Cloud account (without first syncing settings) after 24 hours since InDesign has been running.
    • InDesign might stop responding on dragging any facing pages master to beside None master in Pages panel. 
    • On Mac 10.7.5 (or older versions), when you click Migrate previous local settings, InDesign/InCopy quits but does not restart automatically (required) for migrating old version settings. Workaround: Manually relaunching the application would complete the settings migration.
    • InDesign stops responsing when we generate table of contents when make text anchor in source paragraph option is set to On and InCopy stories are checked in the document. Workaround is that we first checkout all InCopy stories before generating the TOC.
