Fonts not previewing correctly when choosing different font from menu
Running InDesign v19.0, but had exactly the same issue in previous versions -
If I want to swap out an existing font for a new one in a text block in my project, the font does not preview instantaneously or correctly when I am scrolling through the Character menu. Sometimes, the font disappears completely, leaving only black blocks to preview. When I press return the text block does update to the new font but not being able to live preview is making it extremely hard to make design decisions and also see if the chosen font will fit the space…

optical margin alignment
InDesign 19.0 (2024): Optical margin alignment does not work (well), contrary to the previous versions. The problem doesn not depend on a certain font, it is a general problem.

Selecting text in table inside Story Editor
InDesign 19.0
When I try to select text in a table using Story Editor, the mouse selects text starting one character to the right from where I click. This starts in the 2nd row of text. For each row below that, the selection starts one additional character to the right.
For example, I have a table with 5 rows and each row has the text 'ABCDEFG'. If I try and select the letter 'A' on row 2 by clicking at the start of the text and dragging to the right, the selected text will skip the letter 'A' and start…

Optical margin
Optical margin behaves oddly in InDesign 19.0. I've attached a screen recording showing this behavior:
This is a file that had been created in a previous version of ID—probably 13 or so—and has handled migration to subsequent versions gracefully. However, when I opened it in 19 and attempted to edit some text, the optical margin in that paragraph behaves strangely, turning itself off on certain lines.
Deactivating and reactivating optical margin does not correct it. Some adjustment is made, but not enough.
I haven't been able to reproduce this behavior in text blocks created in 19, so it appears to…

Issue with Word Breaks in Dictionaries on InDesign (last version)
Dear Technical Support Team,
I am writing to inform you about an issue I am experiencing with word breaks in dictionaries, primarily in UK English (the Canadian one has fewer problems), German (2006 reform with Duden activated), and Danish, which are the languages I use the most. This problem has also arisen in other languages. I always switch the dictionary according to the language of the text I am working on. I have mainly encountered these errors using InDesign, but it has also happened to me in Illustrator. Clearly, the word break functionality is not working correctly, and syllabication is…

V18.4-18.5 Text boxes shrinking fractional and hiding last line of text PLUS then 'over-set text' error message not flagging this problem up
I sent a job to print and after it came back 3 text boxes had shrunk fractionally to hide the last line of text. When I then went to make a press-ready pdf, it didn't flag up this error by warning me of "over-set text", so I did not catch this problem in time.
Please see attached files -
My stage 5 of the document, and then the final artwork file for it, with the boxes highlighted.
I didn't get any warning messages for 'over-set text' to flag this missing text up.

New cross reference dialog: search bug
May be this isn't a bug per se, but it's nasty. When having the "New cross reference" dialog open and with no particular paragraph being selected, you see lots of garbage in the list on the right side. If you search for a specific headline, you'll find it, but not being listed in its actual format, but with the page number attached. You might then think this is just for display, but no, if you add it that way, it adds the text of the cross-ref as shown in the list, with page number. Even if you selected a cross-ref…

Sinhala text render issue
When typing or copying texts in Sinhala unicode font, the output is rendered incorrectly. For instance, "ෙ + ට +ා" must be rendered as "ටො" but in indesign it is rendered as "ටො". It does not create any difference by changing the keystroke pattern. "ෙ + ට +ා", "ට + ෙ + ා", "ෙ + ා + ට" renders the same output. I tried changing renderer to "World-ready paragraph renderer" but nothing changed in rendering.

Adobe InDesign 18.5 missing Fonts
Missing Fonts in Adobe InDesign 18.5.
Hello,

Using a decimal tab negatively affects line breaks
InDesign 18.5 on Mac
Providing the steps would involve too many specific formatting choices, so I'll just describe what I'm seeing instead. I have a two-column text box for endnotes (literal; not InDesign-generated. E.g., "[tab]1.[tab]Note text."). I want the descriptors to align on the decimal point. When I use a decimal tab, the following text breaks like this:[tab]6.[tab]Paul Renouard, Docteur Char-
cot, cover of...The width of the text frame, however, will clearly accommodate "cot, cover." If I change the decimal tab to a right tab (and adjust its placement slightly so that the period is in almost exactly…

Text disappears when creating buttons if text wrap is on
I am using the lastest version of Adobe InDesign 18.5
Try to create a button including a more than one text box. Nothing overlaps. The text boxes have text wrapping applied. Group the elements and create button.
Create a "rollover" appearance state.
The text will disappear as if something is causing it to wrap and there is not room for the text even though there is nothing for the text to wrap around.
The text should not disappear when creating buttons using text boxes that include a text wrap.

Alt + numeric keystrokes does not work
ASCII codes not working, that is keeping the LEFT ALT pressed, then typing ASCII codes on the nymeric typepad, finally releasing the LEFT ALT. For example Alt+0167 will give you the paragraph symbol.
Unfortunately, in the newest versions of In-Design, when the LEFT ALT is kept pressed, the program does not accept as input the whole string when Alt is released, but is considering each keystroke as a separate entry, even though Alt is still pressed, something that worked in Windows for 30 years.
So, since I had some shortcuts (eg. Alt+6 for a specific character style), when wanting to…

Some text appearing bold where other text in same text box appears as it should
Identically formatted text showing up differently both in document and after pdf export. Likely connected to the neglected bug regarding transparent .png files causing bolding in text elsewhere in document.

Text rendering bug during regular works and also in the presentation mode
Hello, I am facing a strange text rendering bug in the InDesign v18.4 on my Mac Pro 7,1 during regular work on the InDesign document (it doesn't matter which one), mainly while using magnifying glass tool (zoom in / zoom out) and during the presentation mode (see video and screenshots).

Problem with "Honor Text Indents in addition to Text Wrap" turned ON and using the indent-to-here character at the same time
InDesign version 18.2.1, I searched but couldn't find the same issue anywhere else, so I report it here. Attached is a PDF file with the problem. Description is as follows.
There are 3 paragraphs of text, the middle one in black color to be clear. "Honor Text Indents in addition to Text Wrap" is ON.
Needless to say that NO yellow frame has any runaround applied to it. They are there for illustrative purposes.
On the second (black text) paragraph, everything is just OK. The paragraph has a 20 mm left indent and the runaround of the red frame is…
