Restore Style Mapping Presets: Report This Bug!

InDesign CS4 doesn’t properly save Customized Style Mappings in presets when placing a RTF/Word file. Everything else [that I've tested] in a customized Import Option preset saves correctly, but no matter what you do — recreating the Import Option, saving it as a new name, etc — there appears to be no workaround for this bug, not without heading back to InDesign CS3, at least temporarily.

I’ve been dealing with this bug regularly and had put off submitting it formally to Adobe, and now I see Restore Style Mapping Presets: Report This Bug! from the amazing Michael Murphy. He has a great summary of the bug, and a prefab bug report to send to Adobe, and I’d encourage anyone who regularly works with InDesign to do so.

This isn’t a feature that has changed to work in a way that some people don’t like, this isn’t a new feature that isn’t fully-baked; this is a clear regression: the feature worked in CS3, it doesn’t work in CS4. I don’t think that we should have to wait for, and buy, CS5 to get this fixed.
