"Add all stories to assignment" doesn't include content of anchored text boxes
1) I'm using InDesign CC 2019 (14.0.2) under MacOS 10.14.6.
2) - Open an INDD document with various text boxes
- Execute Edit -> InCopy -> Add All Stories to Assignment
3) I would expect this command to include also the content of text boxes that are anchored to other text boxes.
4) However, it doesn't. The content of such text boxes is missing. However, when I go through the document and release all anchored text boxes before executing the command, it will work properly
5) I'd love to attach an indd or idml test file but these file types…1 vote -
Space character inserted following ligature replacement
Hello,
InDesign v14.0.2 inserts an (inaccessible) space character immediately following a substitution performed by the OpenType "Ligatures" feature. This does not occur in Illustrator, Photoshop, nor any other text layout app I'm using.1 vote -
Ellipses not found by Find/Replace
Version of Adobe InDesign
14.0.2 x64Steps to reproduce the issues
1. Placed a Word document. Reformatted etc - lots of work done.
2. Tried to Find/Replace all ellipses to ensure they have a Thin Space before and after. InDesign Find/Replace finds no ellipses (but I am looking at them, having already replaced three periods with ellipses throughout the document).
3. Tested in a new document - problem does not occur there. But it does if I paste the text from the previous document in.
4. Tried exporting to IDML and re-opening to remove any corruption. This made no difference.…1 vote -
tabulator
When I have a text on a path and I want to set a tabulator it is not possible to insert the number for the position correctly. There is only one cypher you can insert, die second one will not work. On top, there is the behaviour, sometimes when you insert the number, it will insert the text into the text on the path.
Fakt is, ist is not possible to work with that.

Fonts displayed as missing with (OTF) appended even though they're installed
InDesign seems to struggle to recognise installed fonts - possibly something to do with how Skyfonts works?
A file created with Skyfonts fonts shows the font family in square braces with (OTF) appended and substitutes default font, rather than making use of the identically named font file, sitting in c:\windows\fonts\ on PC / Font Book on Mac.
Same result if the font files are dumped in a Document fonts subfolder next to the InDesign file.
Troublingly, using a different font cloud sync app (or in the rare instance where the font is available on fonts.adobe.com) doesn't remove the issue -…

Footnote reference disappears when adding Unicode 1D513 into line
I am using InDesign 14.0.2.
We are a book publisher, and we sometimes use a special character in some of our academic work: a gothic P—the Unicode character 1D513 (Mathematical Fraktur Capital P). See: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1d513/index.htm
However, it does something very wonky with footnotes, which seems to be a bug. If we insert this character—Unicode 1D513—in the same line as a footnote reference, it makes the footnote reference disappear. The footnote stays in place. We have tried different fonts, but it doesn't seem to be font dependent. However, if it is in the same line, but after the footnote reference, it…

Custom Thai character set does not display properly in composite font
In the Composite Font Editor, I defined a custom character set that includes all of the characters in Noto Sans Thai and tried specifying various Thai fonts to that character set as part of a composite font.
However, regardless of the font I specified and regardless of what fonts I specified for the other parts of the composite font in certain circumstances three Thai tone characters would not display (U+0E48, U+0E49, and U+0E4C). As far as I can tell, they do display when they are above another tone character, but they do not display if they are the only tone…

CC Libraries Saved Text issue
In CC Libraries I have pre-set headlines text set with font and kerning. When I drag and drop desired headline into page layout, the font is changed out to something completely different. I've double check the save CC text file is it's as it's should be. I'm not sure what happened or how to fix it. These headlines I use on a daily bases have have hand kerning needed to each, which is time consuming to do each time.
Screen shots are with a headline what I'm looking to change from "All you need." to "The real deal." Both are…

Duplicating Page with table and copy/pasting a table changes content of table BUG?
Version: 14.0.2
I have a table that represents a linear calendar. Each month occupies a single row. I created a table to make the calendar, with each date in its own cell. I had some trouble figuring out how to make a new cell start at 1 for each month, as it wanted to continue from the last month's last date (...32, 33, 34, ...). I managed to make it work by changing the numbering options on each individual starting cell.
However, now when I try to duplicate a page containing the calendar, or if I try to copy/paste the…

Editing type size from story editor is inconsistent
This is a bug, not an idea.
When I attempt to resize text by highlighting text within the story editor, the changes I punch into the toolbar do not always commit. I often have to make 2 or 3 attempts to get my changes to successfully commit.
This issue has been persistent over many versions of Indesign, over many Mac OSes.

paragraph lines don't fit rounded frame-line
When using rounded corners on textframes, paragraph-lines don't fit to the right frame.
We use it with 0,5-pt-framelines and there is a small distance between both lines.
Depending on typesize (and perhaps on other parameters), the distance has different measures.

Option to change the color of bitmap fonts
We need a way to change the color for white/grayscale bitmap fonts.
We often use Bitmap fonts for the better texture we can get from them; however, not having the option to change the color of the font, means we have to change the color within photoshop, then either export separate images or entire fonts for each color we use. This is rather inefficient and slows down our process. Having the ability change the color of a white or grayscale bitmap font would be very useful.

InDesign writes wrong apostroph. Even PageMaker 20 years ago did it right! Bun in InDesign one nees to press Alt + 0146 to get the correct
InDesign is not able to write a correct apostroph (looking like a 9 instead a 6). Even PageMaker some 20 years ago was able to create the right apostroph! In Windows you habe to put in Alt + 0146 everytime you wonna write an apostroph. This is not only a pity, this is a shame.

data merge
DataMerge is failing to import UTF 8 text as unicode. This is a new problem.
Adobe Indesign CC 14.02
1. Create UTF 8 Text file for merging.
2. Open previously functional Indesign document with keys already established.
3. Select data source
4. Choose text file (UTF8 no BOM) (if you have BOM, file isn't recognized)
5. Tick show import options (never needed to do this before)
6. Make sure its Unicode.
7. Data still comes in in ASCII even though I chose Unicode.
This has to be a merge problem because I can cut and paste the data into the…1 vote -
"Use Typographer's Quotes" is off by default. Is this a cruel joke?
And this setting seems to automatically reset to "off" arbitrarily. I cannot count how many times I have had to toggle it back on.
