Column rules generate overlapped lines in PDF
InDesign 16.2 (Windows 10 and macOS Big Sur on M1 have the same behaviour).
I have a text frame with common rules active.
When I export a PDF (print) InDesign creates two overlapping lines in the exported PDF instead of a single line, to create the rule.
If I export a PDF (interactive) from the same document, the line is not doubled and overlapped.I upload the resulting PDFs made with print and interactive.
In some workflow, like laser engraving, this is a problem.
Can you fix this in some way?

Text with missing fonts are invisible in InDesign 16.1 macOS Catalina
Missing fonts in a document were usually showed with a replaced standard font and a light red highlight, so it pops you in the eye directly.
In the new InDesign 16.1 on macOS Catalina 10.15.7 this feature is suddendly missing for me. The text with the missing font is completely invisible. Just an empty textbox. Just when you klick in it or open the preflight window, there you can see the errors.Did I miss some new settings? Sometimes you just want to quickly edit the text and generate the final pdf later. Would be great if can enable this…

Find command highlights text in background
In long INDD documents with text flowing from one page frame to another, the text often does not refresh properly when the page is turned. Using the Find command then often highlights text that is in the text story but is not visible on screen when highlighted by the Find command. The attached JPEG shows an example of the problem. The JPEG is a screenshot of an INDD page showing a Find for "Brown" but with random text highlighted at line 15. "Brown" is there, but it is in the background, and it cannot be selected, edited, etc. The only…

Find/Change in empty cells of a table
I am trying to add a bullet (or any other character) in empty cells in a table in InDesign. With GREP this works, but only cell by cell via 'Change'. 'Change All' does not work, however. I tested this in both CC 2020 and CC 2021.

Disappearing text when I type the character ,,T"
So, I have an InDesign file, which is a brandbook for a partner. Few paragraph styles and some items, nothing secial. I use Prompt (Google font) installed on my system. As soon as I hit (smallcaps) T when writing the text OR becomes unvisible or it breakes to the basic paragraph style AND it wont display the T. IF I copy and paste the text from outside of InDesign then it displays T. And the All Caps T works as well. This bugg is really annoying. Could you look into this issue?

Text wrap select subject or user-modified path causes hang ID 16.1
Using ID v 16.1 on an iMac running Catalina.
To reproduce: I just have to touch any image that has select subject or user-modified path text wrap applied and attempt to move it or modify it in any way. One image just caused the hang by existing, I couldn't work on the file until I deleted it.

Actual result: endless beach ball spinning until I force quit and try again.I just spent the entire day trying to work on a large project (200 pages…

bullet numbering not resetting
To make numbered lists automatically reset between body copy text, I set body copy to be a numbered list without any numbering at level 1.
Numbered lists are level 2. With tick box 'reset numbers at this level after Any Previous Level'
But the numbered list doesn't get reset when there are body copy between.
It only resets if the level 1 paragraph style is actually numbering.

textframe loses focus
Since having my computer upgraded to Catalina (10.15.7), InDesign (both 14.0.2 and 16.1) loses focus when I click off of a text frame. I’ve attached a video made in 16.1.
When I click off a graphic frame, behavior is normal—I can immediately click another element on the page. But when I click off a text frame, note how the Swatches panel disappears and I must click again on the page so InDesign regains focus so that I can then select another element on the page.1 vote -

Letters 'fl' become invisible
Adobe CC 16.1 x64
Paragraph style applied to text in text frame:
[No Paragraph Style] + next: [Same style] + Helvetica Narrow + Oblique +size: 10 pt + left indent: 0.4375 in + first indent: -0.125 - hyphenation + tint: 90% + list: bulletedWhen I type "cash flow" the fl both become invisible as soon as I type the 'l'. Does not happen with any other paragraph style. Does not show as being a different style or color or anything. Letters are still there because I can highlight the space they take up.
How can these become visible?

African Ajami diacritics not shaping properly
InDesign Version 16.01 and 16.1
InDesign is not properly shaping Arabic diacritics that are used for African languages. When typing the African diacritics they do not attach properly to the base letter and they break script connection. If they African diacritics are substituted for MSA diacritics using Stylistic Sets then it works properly. This problems occurs for all variants of the African Damma.

Outlined text
I'm using InDesign v 16.1 for a Mac. I just encountered an issue with outlining text. As you can see in the "Display in Preview" png, all of the text is visible and matches what I actually see in InDesign. All of this text is outlined by pressing command + O. When you look at the "Display in Acrobat" png, the yellow outlined text appears to be transparent. Again, all of the text in the png files are outlined. This issue is also visible at our print shop. The workaround I found is just to keep the text live, but…

conditional text leaves a bullet with blank line when using a bullet list
Indesign v16
We use conditional text and have noticed that using bullets with this would leave a lone bullet when swtiching the conditional text off. There's a work around to and a line break and switch the bullets off which allows the condition to work as expected.
Would expect bullets to work with conditional text without the need for an extra line, this is flagging as overset text in some cases as well.
To reproduce the issue:
Set a few lines of text to bullet style
apply conditional text to the lines
Switch view of conditional text off
