Balance Ragged Lines and Nested Line Styles
- All Versions of Adobe InDesign up to CC 2018. macOS.
- A paragraph is formated with "Balance Ragged Lines" and single lines are formated with "Nested Line Styles"
- The lines shoud be formated as they are actual wrapped.
- The words are formated, as they would built lines, if balance ragged lines were not enabled.
- In the screenshot the second line is colored by a nested line style. The first word in the second line remains black, because it is wrapped around by balance ragged lines.

Conditional Tables: make them use the Condition Indicator
Currently, when a condition is applied to a table, there is no visible indicator in layout mode. The attached graphic shows how in Story Editor, the table is highlighted with the conditional text indicator, but in Normal mode, it is not.
But it should be.

search
I use CC 2017, but of course have seen this issue in other versions, Mac, and PC. When typing in a search term, like search term, the letters I type in show up backward, if at all, so mret chraes... which of course makes searching impossible. I can close the program, close the dialog box, and it still keeps coming up. It's so frustrating when you have 1000s of pages and need to find multiple words in between to keep opening/closing/shutting down

On the Radar? New character for uppercase "ß" in germany – dont forget to be able to disable auto-"ß" into SS…
If I use shift+"ß", InDesign changes to "SS" – so far so good. But that got revised 29.7.2017. I hope thats on InD's radar.
"Anfang 2008 wurde das große ß als neues Zeichen in den internationalen Standard Unicode für Computerzeichensätze aufgenommen, am 24. Juni 2008 trat die entsprechende Ergänzung der Norm ISO/IEC 10646 in Kraft.[1] Seit dem 29. Juni 2017 ist das ẞ Bestandteil der amtlichen deutschen Rechtschreibung.[2][3]"

InDesign freezing when pressing backspace in a text box of more than 500 or 600 words
This only seems to be a problem when using long text boxes more than a few hundred words. InDesign starts to slow down while I'm typing, but if I then select text or press backspace (mostly the latter) then InDesign freezes for 10 to 15 seconds.
I've searched the problem, but the only solution I have found is to try closing the info panel, but this seems to be a CS3 fix and doesn't work.

The order of Arabic digits is reversed when changing their character direction
- Adobe InDesign CC 2017.1
- Create a textbox, type Arabic characters including some digits. Change character direction from 'Default' to 'Right to Left'.
- Arabic letters are RTL, but Arabic digits are written LTR; So when you change character direction to RTL, they should be in their right direction.
- Letters are RTL, but digits are reversed. The problem is that Arabic script is written RTL, but its digits' direction is LTR. Just like when you move caret and logically it moves in correct direction.

Hyperlinks
I use a lot of hyperlinks in a document which link to the individual products on our website for online ordering and stock levels.
The Hyperlink panel frequently corrupts - I lose the ‘traffic light’ link status indicator and location of the link (page No.) - meaning I have to remove InDesign and execute a clean install to get the feature back.

Variable Font Custom Weights Not Available
InDesign 19.1. I recently installed a new variable font from Monotype (https://www.myfonts.com/collections/unitext-variable-font-monotype-imaging). When using the slider to adjust the weight variable, the font breaks and defaults to the regular weight.
The same font works fine on Illustrator. Other variable fonts on InDesign (e.g. Acumin Variable) also work fine, so the issue seems to be tied to this specific font and InDesign only.

rtl paragraphs line break wrong direction issue
In rtl text, I use rtl paragraph direction. when I add \n (forced line break) the remaining part of the text changes direction, unless I change character direction of \n character to "right to left". I use "default" as default character direction of paragraphs.

RTL quotation mark rendering inconsistencies in InDesign v19
In InDesign versions 18 and earlier, the left and right quotation marks for Thaana were interpreted as "start" and "end" quotation marks. However, Microsoft Word and web browsers and most applications interpreted them as "right" and "left" as named in the Unicode specification.
In InDesign version 19, the rendering behaves oppositely (similar to Word, web browsers, etc.), even though the codepoint remains the same. Additionally, some other anomalies are present. For instance, when I use a right/left quotation mark as a bullet point, it renders as the opposite one.
Please refer to the attached recording for another case where I…

Logical bug: font weight change to bold and back
System: ID version 17.4.2 on Windows 10.
Problem: some fonts have weights like "Light", next to Regular and Bold. If a text is set to weight Light and you change to Bold by Ctrl+Shift+B, the text becomes bold. When changing it back, it doesn't become Light, but Regular. The logic would be to check if there is a paragraph style applied and what's its default weight and use this when "unbolding".2 votes -
Keyboard Right and Left arrow same as Up and Down Arrow
InDesign version 19.0 x64 English תומך עברית
The Keyboard Right arrow is moving the curser one line up, and the Keyboard Left arrow is moving the curse on line down, instaed of moving the curser right or left.
The keyboard shortcuts are showing the correct behavior, but in fact it's incorrect.2 votes -
Browsing, Searching, and Activating fonts
For the last long while I've been having trouble with fonts in indesign and I've heard that others have the same issues.
Only the first time I open the fonts list after restarting indesign, can I scroll through it with my arrow keys. After that, it doesn't work and therefore, it's very difficult to go through my fonts.
Additionally, when I try typing in to the fonts bar to search for a font, it often doesn't pull up the font, as though it's not installed, when I find it if I scroll through the list.
Also, if I try to…

Hebrew drops out
Hebrew text in the middle of a sentence is dropping out when exported to PDF. There have been several occurrences in this project, but I've never seen this before. In the example PDF, I have a Hebrew word followed by a makeshift ellipsis [nonbreaking space + . + 1/6 em space + . + 1/6 em space + . + space] followed by two more Hebrew words. A GREP style changes the Hebrew words from the base font (Arno) to Taamey David CLM. As is, the first Hebrew word drops out.
If I move the first Hebrew word back to…

Fit Frame to Content multicolumn text frame
InDesign 18.3 but has been doing this for many years.
Draw a single column text frame next to a multicolumn text frame, have the same number of lines in both frames, apply Fit Frame to Content with any method to both frames, they will most likely not be the same height. You can change the width of the multicolumn frame and then Fit Frame to Content might get closer.
Should be the same height if all text styling is the same.
Variable height on the multicolumn frame, doing Fit Frame to Content a few times and can change it each…

Multiple copy paste functions
I have been using the Indesign program for a long time. He has made very good progress. This is what I expect from you. We can only paste one copy with the copy paste command. It would be great if it could copy multiple texts separately. For example, when copy-pasting 3 or 5 different texts, you need to do each one by one. It would be much more practical if we could copy them all and name them like copy 1 copy 2 copy 3 and paste 1 paste 2 paste 3 options while pasting. I wish you good luck…

Add transparency option to paragraph shading
Paragraph shading is super nice, but a lot of people would like to have them a little transparent over images. I know there is a option for overprinting, but this also change the color and is not a real transparency. Without this option it has to be done manually on each element.
So please add this additional feature to the settings. Thx
