The latest update 6.04 seems to have resolved this issue.

Thanks Mike for organising everyone to rally together to fix this issue.

Michel –

You’re correct. The 6.0.4 update does fix the style mapping functionality. I installed it and tested the feature, created a custom style mapping preset, and was able to recall that preset with all mapping preserved in another document. It also worked after quitting and re-starting InDesign. Thanks for posting this.

I think Adobe are worried they might not be selling too many copies of CS5, so anything they can do to promote that bug fixes will not appear until the next version is their hard sell line to maintain some sort of profit in this downturned economy. Despite what many say we are in for a long-haul depression here folks. Adobe fix this now and maintain the status quo? Then give us something really new in the CS5 apps – somthing that really “pops”.(I am stopping at CS4 period).

Hopefully what Adobe means is that the next patch update will fix that bug.

So Adobe are saying that this bug won’t be fixed until version CS5???

That’s like being sold a new car, then finding out that the auto-tune button on the radio doesn’t work. You take it back to the dealership and they tell you, hey, no problem, it’ll be fixed on next years model, just come back then, trade in your old car and buy a new one!

Tim from London: that is utterly arrogant of Adobe. It’s bad enough when they hold back minor features for future releases, but critical bugfixes are now treated the same way, too?

This sort of behaviour reminds me of Quark circa version 6. A class-action lawsuit may well be in order here.

Just got this message back from Adobe:

“Tim, thanks for the bug reports you’ve submitted. It looks like this issue will be fixed in the next version. Thanks! -Jack InDesign/InCopy Quality Manager”

How rubbish is that? Maybe I’ll go back to Quark, I remember using macros to auto typeset copy back with good ol’ 4.11 …
