I've been using InDesign in a Japanese environment and have long been frustrated by the lack of distinction between kanji and double-byte spaces.
When you want to select consecutive Kanji by double-clicking (or command + → etc.), adjacent double-byte spaces (0x3000) will be selected together.
When you receive an unsatisfactory text manuscript, double-clicking a wasted double-byte space will select the adjacent kanji together.
I can't imagine the single benefit of this specification. It's just inconvenient.
I would like you to improve this.
I hope you will get the approval of everyone. Thank you.

私はInDesignを日本語環境で使用していて、漢字と全角スペースの区別がついていないことを長年不満に思っています。
ダブルクリック（あるいはcommand + →など）で連続した漢字を選択したいとき、隣接する全角スペース（0x3000）が一緒に選択されてしまう。
美しくないテキスト原稿を受け取ったとき、無駄な全角スペースをダブルクリックすると隣接する漢字まで一緒に選択されてしまう。
この仕様について、ただ1つのメリットも想像できません。ただ不便なだけです。
これを改善していただきたいです。
皆さまの賛同を得られれば幸いです。よろしくお願いします。

Please add hyphenation and spelling dictionaries for more languages.

According to my quick research, many European languages are missing:
Belarusian (millions)
Flemish (millions)
Serbian (millions)
Macedonian (1,400,000)
Basque (660,000)
Luxembourgish (400,000)
Icelandic (350,000)
Kashubian (200,000)
Faroese (66,000)
Sorbian (55,000)
Latin https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/31959424-add-latin-dictionary
...

If you can’t provide support out of the box, you should at least develop an easy and user friendly way to install custom dictionaries:
https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/38014024-one-click-easy-install-for-hunspell-dictionaries

The leading app should not ignore minor languages and should support them as much as possible. Missing dictionaries affect millions and millions of readers worldwide.

It is not only about hyphenation, it is also about proper use of OpenType “locl” feature supporting locally preferred glyph shapes. InDesign users in Serbia or Macedonia cannot easily use their letter forms!

I have InDesign CC, I think it's multilingual, and now I have to do a layout entirely in Arabic. After a whole day of trying to work out how to do it I realized that the reason it was so difficult to change text direction from LTR to RTL is BECAUSE THERE IS NO MORE BUTTON (I used to accidentally activate it on my old photoshop, that is why I remember there being one)

ANYWAY
two days in and I still can't find the direction option ANYWHERE and at this point I'm royally ****** because I'm either too dumb to find the thing or the thing is gone and I'm unable to do my job. I've searched everywhere, gone to every website, checked every single tutorial and wherever they show the option I DON'T HAVE IT THERE. OR ANYWHERE.

This really sucks and I don't get why would Adobe EVER remove something as useful as that. Granted I don't need it every single day BUT WHEN I DO MY SALARY DEPENDS ON IT.

I hope you reconsider the decision to remove the button.

Currently, regardless of whether the "Restart Numbering Every: ...." checkbox does nothing to force footnotes to continue across multiple, unthreaded frames. I would have thought that if you didn't tell it to restart, it would not and would continue to increment each time if found a footnote - but that is not the case. We have various footnote scenarios based on our different clients:

For some, they want the footnotes numbered consecutively throughout their report. Others want it restarted with every major section. But these reports are complicated - hundreds of pages - and it is very inconvenient to thread every frame in order to have the footnotes be consecutive, because we don't want major sections to reflow/change the layout if there is a change to a completely different section much earlier in the report.

So this request is to give the user greater flexibility with the numbering of footnotes:

1. Allow for Continuous footnotes across all pages even if frames are not threaded (program would simply look at what the last footnote number was an increment).




2. Allow user to click directly on a footnote and tell InDesign what number that footnote should be - similar to the way you can with a numbered list item where you can open the "Bullets and Numbering" dialog box and tell it to restart or tell it what number to start from).

Ways of making things look like footnotes will not help us because they don't translate as Notes when exporting a tagged PDF. So we need a way to use footnotes but the flexibility we have with a numbered list. Thank you

As someone who is often laying out text in large booklet type documents, I often need to adjust text and leading on text to visually suit the design Im working on. An annoying function Ive run into (definitely not the end of the world) is that if I may need to adjust the size of the font and the leading of it to suit what I need... If I then adjust the size of the text, the 'custom' leading size doesn't constrain to the size of the font as you increase it.

This would be an awesome feature to be included, and would save a bit of time when working with fonts and text sizing.
