1. variable fonts

   In a TrueType based variable font, if some nodes have implied deltas at the edge of outline, that edge can jump around as seen in the attached video. The right stem of the "n" should stay on the baseline. And it does in all other environment that I tested (Illustrator, Photoshop, Chrome, Safari …).

   I tried to attach the font but get an error that .ttf and .zip files are not allowed. Here is a link to the file in dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/69ynar0ds0k44fhsuge2j/ImpliedDeltasVF.ttf?rlkey=zccl17cd67ru4oat5qlt2eb99&st=c469cifb&dl=0

2. Error message is seen while opening InDesign after Photoshop 26.5 update

   Problem Description

   After the PhotoShop 26.5 update this morning, when opening InDesign, I got an error popup regarding a missing startup script in PhotoShop. The same thing does not happen in other CC apps.

   Workaround 1:

   1. Uninstall Photoshop 26.5 (make sure to remove preferences).
   2. Reinstall Photoshop 26.5. This will install the correct “photoshop_v2025.jsx”.

   Workaround 2:

   1. Open jsx, which is available at "/Library/application support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CC/Adobe Photoshop/" mentioned in the alert in the Text Editor
   2. Add } in the last line

3. Index type range bugs

   I specifically have my problems with "To Next Use Of Style" and "For Next # Of Paragraphs"

   1. To Next Use Of Style
      The adobe guide specifically says that the range is until the NEXT use of the specific para style but if the paragraph that contains the index marker is the same as the intended end of range, it only recognizes the first page. It counts the current para style aswell.
      So if I want to i.e. make an index marker on a bridgehead with a range until the next bridgehead, I have to put the marker to the beginning of the following paragraph instead of on the bridgehead as the author intended.

   2. For Next # Of Paragraphs
      Here the range is always only to the beginning of the paragraphs, not till the end. So if I have an index marker on a paragraph and the range should end at the end of the first paragraph which exceeds to the following page, I have to type "2" instead of "1" since the latter only counts the beginning of the paragraph (or in this case the point of the index marker) and thus only the first page is shown in the index output.
      But Using the n+1 method is buggy if there are later corrections and the sentence flow shifts in a way that this paragraph that was previously splitted to two pages now is placed on one and ends on the bottom of the page, whereas the next paragraph begins on the following page. In this case the previously page rage will still be set until the beginning of the second paragraph and thus include the second page wrongfully.

   TL;DR
   Please make the page-range type function "For Next # Of Paragraphs" disregard the style of the paragraph with the index maker.
   Please edit the function of "For Next # Of Paragraphs" in a way that the range ends at the end of the paragraph, not the beginning.

4. Alert is shown on opening documents in InDesign(v20.0.1) - "This file is already open by another user or another application."

   Yesterday I edited a file in Indesign V19.5.1. Now I can no longer open this and many of my previous design files. I get the error message: ‘This file is already open by another user or application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it.

   I have updated to V20.0.1 and reinstalled V19.0. Both did not help. This bug has been around for a long time in different versions and it occurs regularly.

7. Document made in InDesign 2024 no longer loads in InDesign 2025

   InDesign 2025 (v20.0)

   is unable to open a document (a 400 page book in one single file) that I finished a few days before updating InDesign. It was made using version 19.5. I've tried several versions of the book: both the last work file and a finished packaged version on a separate drive. I have also tried opening an older version before the latest changes with no luck.

   There are no error messages. It just starts loading it and then after a while, doesn't anymore. The book doesn't appear in the Open Recent list either even after several attempts and restarts. This is on an iMac Pro 2017.

   Reverting to version 19.5 and the book opens just fine.

   Fortunately the book is already being printed. So I guess I won't get fired. :)

   Need More Info  ·  AdminPradeep Verma (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

   We would require more information for the same. Are you not able to open any InDesign document created from ID19.x version in ID20.0 or is it specifically happening with only a specific document?

8. RTL options dissappeared in Indesign 18.3

   Indesign 18.3 - Hebrew support edition.

   Steps to reproduce the issues: Choose a text box, and try to set RTL. THERE IS NO RTL button! (Indesign 17.x had RTL and LTR buttons. But after upgrade to Indesign 18.3 - the RTL button dissappeared!)

   Expected result: Should have RTL buttons just like Indesign 17.x

   Actual result: Missing RTL buttons.

9. Words in placed document become bold after certain characters

   When we place text from a Word file, we always strip it of all existing layout. But for some reason there are some weird unicode characters that cause Indesign to make certain words bold... I'm not able to figure out why... you have a French text where a word starts with a e with an accent like ê and that word is suddely bold... even though in the Word file it isn't.

   This also happens with Italics... I once had a text that used transliteration for Ancient Egyptian that is in italic and often starts with a "Ankh" symbol: Ꜥ with the full hiëroglyph being translated as: Ꜥ-n-ḫ.

   Indesign will flip out on this... in the end we had to replace all the Ankh symbols for @ symbols, place the text to Indeisgn and switch them back.

   Also had it once for Greek text, where words randomly become bold or italic after you place them in Indesign.

   When these symbols are in the middle of words, it's fine, but when words start with these symbols, weird stuff tends to happen when you place them in Indesign. Has been doing that for years. It's weird.

    Bug: Scrolling the font menu in indesign is jumpy and somewhat unresponsive at times on M1 MacBook Pro / MacOS 13.
    It's hard to illustrate with video recording, so I do hope you test this.
    This has been persistent for months.

15. Why does ID now need new filetype with every yearly release?

    I don't remember ID needing a new filetype with every release in the past. A (perhaps cynical) part of me says new filetypes are designed to incentivize users to upgrade. This drive for new filetypes every year seems especially capricious when fundamental new ID features are few and far between over the past 5+ years. (Ex: one of the top billed features last year was renaming Master pages to Parent pages...)

    New filetypes with every release is a source of friction to my team, especially when several users work on a project and one or more suddenly find they can no longer open the .indd project. I'm sure there are reasons for new filetypes every now and then, I just wonder if they're needed every year.

17. Source Sans shifting down issue

    Source Sans or INDD has changed from version 17.3 to 17.4. All of the type gets baseline shifted down when you create a new file or if you open up an existing INDD file with Source Sans. It all pushes down inside the text window.

    Either an INDD problem or Source Sans coding has changed. Please resolve--its our house typeface.

18. Cross reference broken by InCopy

    A text element with cross references is added to an InCopy assignment. (The cross reference utilises the paragraph number - just in case, this should be important.)
    After editing any text (not part of the cross reference source itself or the target paragraph) in InCopy, the cross reference is broken in InDesign. Same, if you change the target paragraph.
    This happens in InDesign/InCopy 16.4 as well as 17.1

19. spelling

    Hi, I just want you to reach out for me to the Developer team and Interface Design team of InDesign. Please tell them, that the spelling function on InDesign should undergo major improvements. It literally sucks. I've been using InDesign since 2007, and the web application, basically any, like Google, deepL, Grammarl, I think even OpenOffice... are much better. So in this matter, InDesign was never the first choice, more like the last.
    -The first major problem it is very counter-intuitive to turn it on and make it work.
    -the second, which describes the bug, I have changed my Spelling to German2006 multiple times and it continues in to correct spelling to French even though the whole interface is in English and was supposed to be English before.

    I am reaching out because I feel you need push to rethink the spelling on InDesign a bit. If I really want to make sure that my text has no spelling issues I go on google, deepL or Grammarly, etc.
    I got used to working with an open browser application as mentioned, but It would be certainly helpful for the future if InDesign was more reliable in this point. Also, it would break down the working steps needed for a better workflow.

20. index marker grep bug in findchangelist

    The prelisted double to single space query in the findchangebylist.jsx also delets index markers between spaces.

    While using the find-exchange window in ID to first look for [space]+(~I+)[space]+ to exchange it with [space]$1 works well enough, putting this in the findchangelist.txt, it deletes the index markers aswell. (note: [space] is only to visualize a regular space. I'm not writing it out in my queries.)

    I also noticed, that they also only partially work in the regular GREP search in the F/E-window: using lookahead or lookbehind is only able to find the position of the marker but not the character that the query is supposed to find. For exhample.:
    [space] (~I+)\K <-finds the position of one or more index markers after a space (no selection)
    [space] (~I+)\K[space] <- finds nothing
    The same happens with regular lookahead/behind queries.

    Can the GREP support for index markers please be fixed?
