1. Invisible character

   Apply all Auto Edits inserts an invisible character before which then interferes with Find and Replace. When pasted into a GREP search, it looks like ~I, but can't be found. It can be manually removed, but this is not helpful, as I need to be able to perform a comprehensive Find/Replace.

2. Paragraph shading not aligned in justified text when optical alignment is on

   If optical margin alignment (story) is ON the paragraph shading doesn't align on the right margin of justified text. hyphens seem to push the edge of the shading out. This is in build 13.1.1 but is also reported in 15.0.0.155. I cannot update to the newest version without buying a new computer—so I won't be anytime soon or maybe ever. So I hope that the bug would get fixed retroactively. My original post is here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/paragraph-shading-text-width-not-justifying/m-p/10750103#M164426

3. Forced line breaks within text variables introduces an unavoidable letter space

   When a forced line break is inserted within text that is used for a variable, a random, unavoidable letter space is introduced into the variable text.
   There are obvious workarounds, but a solution to this would be really convenient.
   See attached screenshots for example.

6. Highlighting text in a table does not highlight the corresponding text in the story editor

   CC2020

   When I highlight text in a table, I would expect the same text to appear highlighted in the story editor. Instead, the story editor jumps to the beginning of the document.

   Kind regards

7. Glyph substitution not working with certain Oriya and Bengali glyphs

   The following words in cannot be reproduced in InDesign. It seems the glyph substitution is not working in about 1% of cases.

   র‍্যানিবিজুমাব — Bengali
   ମହତ୍ଵପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ — Oriya
   ସ୍ଵେଚ୍ଛାକୃତ — Oriya
   କିମ୍ଵା — Oriya

   It looks fine above, in any text editor, or in any Microsoft app, but does NOT look right in any Adobe app I tested, such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop CC 2019 and 2020 of each.
   I am applying the World-Ready Composers.
   I have tried copy+pasting the text from Word and also tried the Place command in InDesign.
   I've tested in both the English North America and English Arabic versions.
   I've tried multiple fonts, as well. No change.
   See attached for examples. Word doc shows as it should be. InDesign shows it wrong. I highlighted the glyphs that are wrong in InDesign as pink.
   Thanks!

9. Stroke Drawing Order not working

   InDesign 2019 on MacOS 10.13.6

   Steps to reproduce
   Define table stroke using the proxy in the Control panel (see screenshot) and try to change the Stroke Drawing Order.

   Expected result
   Stroke Drawing Order "Row Strokes In Front" should be as selected in "Table Options"

   Actual result
   Row Strokes are not in front. All strokes which are altered using the control panel options remain unchanged.
   If a new table is setup using only the menu options (Cell Options > Strokes And Fills) everything works fine.

   In the Table Setup dialog, do the following:

   In the Row Strokes section (2nd tab), choose Alternating Pattern : Every Other Row and then make the First 1 Rows and Next 1 Rows the exact same settings.

   In the Column Strokes section (3rd tab), choose Alternating Pattern: Every Other Column and then make the First 1 Columns and Next 1 Columns the exact same settings.

   In the Table Setup section (1st tab), you can set the Table Border as 0mm and Stroke Drawing Order as ‘Row Strokes in Front’.

   Most probably this should help you get the results you are after. Try this out and let us know if it helps.

10. Sencoten

    InDesign CC 14.0.3

    I work in the health sector of the Pacific North West. We are incorporating Indigenous languages in our communications both in print and online in an effort to be inclusive and represent our diversity.

    Recently, I have been unable to use any Indigenous keyboard symbols with InDesign (and I assume other CC products) - though I can use it in this forum and in other software. Examples are Ȼ and Ŧ. I've attached a screen grab showing the language keyboards installed on my MacBook Pro and a result. As a reference, this site provides Indigenous language keyboards for free download: languagegeek.com

    Step to reproduce issue
    • I install a free language keyboard from languagegeek.com.
    • I select SENOCŦEN.
    • I use this keyboard to generate an Indigenous character such as Ŧ using the Lato font, which has the tested ability to generate this character.
    • I type in the letter T and a line to create the special keyboard character.

    Expected result
    A T with a horizontal line. Eg Ŧ

    Actual Result
    • A pink box with a line drawn through it showing that the character cannot be produced.
    • Screenshot of result is included.

    Thanks for considering,
    Matthew

12. Footnote marker is replaced with an unknown character if preceded by a character with a specific Unicode pattern

    Footnote marker is replaced with an unknown character if preceded by a character with a specific Unicode pattern. Unicode pattern is U+##1a. Here are some of those characters:

    U+011a
    U+021a
    U+031a
    U+041a
    U+051a
    U+061a
    U+071a
    U+081a

    You could try the attached test file for placement in to an InDesign document. Unicode of the character following the footnote marker is : U+011a

    This happen when file format of the file is either RTF or DOC. Its not a issue with DOCX.

13. Lao Line Breaking Support

    I'm working on a major project using the Lao language and InDesign. The Lao text is not flowing correctly in InDesign. There are addons that provide these features (LaoScript), but there isn't native InDesign support, from what I can tell.

    Lao text does not seem to properly word wrap. Many professionals use zero-width-spaces in Lao to create invisible 'spaces' between words so that applications properly word wrap. However, this has significant drawbacks and makes it harder for Lao people to use and edit their language because editing text with invisible characters is difficult (especially on mobile, but PCs as well).

    As one of the members of the team who helped bring Lao support to ICU (International Components for Unicode), I know that there is support for Lao that doesn't require much work, assuming you all are already using ICU to process text in InDesign. Adobe is listed on ICU's project page as a major user of this library.

    So... I would like to request this feature be turned on to properly support Lao text wrapping and word tokenization with non-zero-width-space delimited phrases in Lao.

    Here's an excerpt from the Lao Bible:

    ເມື່ອພຣະເຈົ້າຊົງເລີ້ມຕົ້ນ (5 words, no spaces, no ZWSPs)

    ເມື່ອ ພຣະເຈົ້າ ຊົງ ເລີ້ມ ຕົ້ນ (same 5 words separated by spaces)

    I know that there are organizations who swear by ZWSPs (and for good reasons), and do not prefer automatic Lao word tokenization. It might be nice to also provide a mechanism to manually disable this feature for text/frames/documents, assuming the user wants greater control of line breaking in Lao (Thai or Khmer too). But, otherwise, out-of-the-box, have the feature on so that it lowers the barrier of entry for Lao people wishing to use InDesign.

    Chrome and LibreOffice are two applications that already support Lao word tokenization out of the box, and more text is available at https://laobible.sea-sda.org if you need some tools/text to test against.

    Thanks!

14. Empty merge fields introduce characters that cannot be found

    When you perform a data merge and create a new merged document InDesign adds hidden characters where the empty data field would be. These characters cannot be found using a standard search. I have not tried GREP.

    In my case I was working on business cards. Some records have no mobile number so there is a blank line in the merged document, apart from the M prefix that would normally indicate a mobile number. I wanted to remove all those lines so I selected one, from the M at the beginning to the paragraph break at the end. I pasted that into the Find field, left the Change field blank, then clicked Change All. Nothing was changed.

    I replaced the odd characters in the Find filed with a wild card, so now I was searching for "M^t^?^p". That’s an M followed by a tab, followed by any character, followed by a return. Nothing was found. I tried two wildcards, then three wildcards. Nothing was found.

    InDesign’s merged document contained some odd character that cannot be found by any means, even with wildcards.

18. Text edits forcing blank

    I keep encountering the same glitch in multiple documents where an edit to the text on one page forces a blank page (although running head and page number remain) on the following page, with the text re-flowing as expected on the page after that. For example, deleting an unwanted space is a frequent cause of this glitch. So far I've found 2 ways of making the text return to it's correct position and removing the blank:

    1) place my cursor at the very end of the page before the unwanted blank and enter a space - this brings the text back onto the blank but doesn't actually add a space.
    2) make a minor adjustment to the tracking/kerning of a single character on the page before the unwanted blank.

    Linked to this, occasionally some of my footnotes have disappeared as well - to get them back I have to adjust the size of the text box slightly and then restore it to its original size.

    Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

20. Incorrect Justify vertically text frame

    Justify vertically text frame is not correct every time particularly in more than 2 columns text frame. Tried all options and found some time there are space in bottom of last line as in attached file.

    Reproduced in the same in 2 or more columns text frames. This happens in:

    1. If used heading span 2 or more or spall all.

    2. Placed any text wrap graphics,

    3. Used with or without "Skip by leading"

    All the instances are same results, in some cases the space are more than the attached file, particularly if used "span all" for heading and place any "text wrapped" object

    I'm using Indesign 14.0.3 in windows 7 environement.
