Span columns not working properly (16.4)
InDesign 16.4 on Windows.
I have an issue with spanned text.
It looks like a "break column" special character is created above and below the text when I span it across a 2 column frame. Or a text column is "skipped."
This is happening on flowing text, on primary text frames. The text was initially imported from a Word document (without styling).This "bug" doesn't happens on on other text frames where the text was not imported.
I am trying to upload the INDD packaged rar file but the platform is saying that that type of file is not supported...…

When Find/Change Dialog Box is open, arrow keys move entire text box instead of cursor
- Indesign 16.3.2 on macOs Mojave
- When i find a word using find/change it gets highlighted. I try to add a punctuation mark after that word and tab the right arrow key.
- Arrow key should just move the cursor in text box, next to the highlighted text.
- It moves entire text box as if the text box is selected.

BUG WITH FOOTNOTES
I though that the new version of Indesign will have this fix but, no. See my screenshot, the text is overlapping my footnote. This comes randomly in my 12 books. To get ride of this, I have to enlarge my textbox and after, reduce it like it was normally. It's very frustrating because when I get the Okay of my client and then made the final PDF, it can happening. So, I have to check all my PDFs very carefully to see if nothing wrong.

text wrap violates indented text next to it
[InDesign 16.2.1 x63/Windows 10 Enterprise ]
When text with bullets sits next to a (separate) text frame that has a wrap applied, the text after the bullet doesn't align correctly.
I tried to upload a file (both by dragging or clicking) and neither option allows me to attach the file. "The following file type [filename.indd] is not supported."
An earlier bug report for the same problem had a response indicating that the issue has been fixed. It has not been fixed.
Fortunately, you can move the tab marker on the affected lines to override the bug, but that's really not…1 vote -

Koreans have to press the spacebar twice when using InDesign
When typing Korean in InDesign, you need to press the spacebar twice.If you've ever used InDesign in Korean, you'll find this kind of work is very annoying. This issue did not appear in CS6 and earlier versions of CC. So, for Koreans who use InDesign, the InDesign CC version is a disaster.
This problem cannot be solved by using any option in InDesign, and Koreans are using unverified sub software to solve this problem. And many Koreans are wondering why InDesign is a step backwards from the previous version and doesn't solve even these basic problems.
It seems it's been…

Phonetic tie and World-Ready Composer
I'm seeing a behavior that I believe to be a bug. When I have a phonetic spelling with a tie character—for example, d͡ʒ"—using Indesign's paragraph composer, Indesign renders it as three characters—d + [tie] + ʒ. When I change to the world-ready paragraph composer, however, InDesign joins the tie to the character before it such that it can't be moved. I tried using a non-joiner between them, but InDesign just joins the tie to the non-joiner.

Margin Issues When Threading Tables
InDesign 2021
Background: I'm working with an InDesign Template file that was set up with two pages (not facing) and a lengthy table in a text box.
Issue: Whenever I thread my text box with the table it contains, the table over stretches the margins on only the additional/threaded pages. It remains within the set margins on the original pages, and if you try to adjust the table on the overset pages, it shirks it on the original pages as well.
Why is this? Why is the table changing size (width wise) on only the threaded pages, and how do…

Problem copying font from Acrobat Pro DC PDF (to Word and Indesign)
[Adobe Indesign 2021 - 16.3 / Suitcase Fusion 21.3.0]

The glyphs exists in the dictionary when looking at the panel in Indesign.

The Same Adobe Font is Considered Different for Different Users
InDesign Version: 16.2.1
Steps to reproduce issue: Open an InDesign file, set font to "Montserrat" (the Adobe Font version), save. Another person opens up the file. Instead of displaying "Montserrat", the font shows as "Montserrat (OTF)" in the font menu and all the text is highlighted red because that "font" isn't activated. If that person changes the font to "Montserrat" on their computer and saves the file, the same issue happens on my end. It's essentially treating both of our Montserrat fonts as different fonts, even though we're both using Adobe Fonts.
Expected result: Montserrat will display properly when either…

Please Allow Mutliple Text Modification!
I HATE that I have to literally individually select each text in order for me to manipulate it in any way whether its changing the colors or size or the formatting. Its SUPER annoying and makes me and most of my classmates want to avoid using inDesign at all costs. We use it because our teacher makes us and there aren't many ways to do text formatting on illustrator. But on illustrator it can be easily done by just selecting all the text or using the eyedropper tool. But on indesign there are these stupid useless features like text box…
