Newer versions of InDesign identify the position immediately after a bracket -- ] or } -- as a high-priority for a new line. Earlier verions did not.
1. For us, that's a big problem because we use some fonts on which a different image is at this location, and it must connect with the one that follows. We never want a new line to start here. (The nonjoiner character fixes this, but it would be far easier if it didn't happen at all.)
2. Most of the time, when these characters are used as bracket, there will be a space after them, then a line break will be possible, as expected. But I would guess that MOST people, if a brcket is followed by a character, do not want a lne break there. So why is it so determined to happen?
3. The end-parentheses and the > do not trigger a line break. Only ] and }. That makes me suspect this is a bug of some sort that snuck in, rather than being deliberately programmed.
Please take it out! It may not affect a lot of people, but I'd guess it is problematic more often than it is wanted.
