WorldReady settings go missing in [Basic Paragraph] style
Adobe InDesign (ME) 2021, 2020, CC 2019, ..., CS6
macOS and WindowsInDesign's WorldReady settings (Paragraph Direction, Kashidas, etc.) are being stripped from a document's [No Paragraph Style] style when opened on a machine with a missing 3rd-party plug-in (like Em Software's InCatalog). This appears to happen with any 3rd-party plug-in that adds a text attribute with a prefix that's lower than the WorldReady plug-in's prefix. While the following steps use the Middle Eastern app (English Arabic), where there's a UI to see the style's empty/blank WorldReady entries, we've confirmed that this problem affects all app variants (including English (Roman)).

text colour tint dropdown menu bug
Changing the text colour tint from 70% black to 100% black in Paragraph Styles crashes my M1 Mac mini 100% of the time.
Trying to manually change the text colour is not possible because when I click on the drop down menu for colour and tint in the control bar, the menu either doesn't appear at all, or appears for a few milliseconds and then disappears. I officially cannot work on my document now. What to do?!

Variable fonts: default face location included in style list even if not included in fvar
I sent a variable test font to Josh Hadley. It includes an fvar table that does not contain the location of the default instance. InDesign v17.0.1 on Windows will include the default location anyway in the list of styles for the font, with a made up name. Should it not restrict itself to what it finds in the fvar and STAT tables?

Notes anchor marks are rendered incorrectly
When I place a note, it affects the text box as it's rendered as a normal character.
That is - it affects the leading, the spacing, the alignment, etc.For instance, if I have a top-aligned text box with a paragraph with letter size 9pt, and I place a note somewhere in the paragraph - the entire paragraph will shift downward - as the alignment takes the top of the note anchor as the topmost "pixel" in the text box.
There is no way this is desirable. Who would want notes to affect their document layout? So I have to…

Simple cursor insertion point inaccurate in text
I hover the cursor over the space (between two letters, for example) but the actual insertion point is a letter off, to the left of the intended location.

text
My text changes to alternating capital and lower case letters throughout all typed words. It does not change if I have caps lock on the keyboard but will be all caps if I select it on the menu bar. But it still shows red spelling errors with asking to add the work to the dictionary. It is shown in alternating caps/lower case letters there too.

search and replace clipboard contents
I cannot do a document-wide search and replace with clipboard-contents (formatted), when using Change All. When I attempt to replace any text with the clipboard-contents (GREP: ~c), it goes through the document, seemingly highlighting and replacing the text, but doesn't in fact change anything. It works when I do the exact search and replace string, but only using Find-and-change, and not when using Change All. Going through each instance (500+) one-by-one would take ages. Please fix the document-wide, Change All search-and-replace with clipboard-contents (formatted).

Table formats don't work at all
ID 2019 - 2021
1. Create a table format with table frame 1 pt and apply to a table without stroke - no change.
2. Create a cell format with 1 pt stroke, nest in the table format and apply - no change. See video.
3. Apply the cell format to a cell - at first no change. You must manually use the button that removes deviations. See the other video.Conclusion: neither table formats nor cell formats correctly override the current formatting of a table.

Spell Checker
Hello
I have a problem with spell checking in Indesing. The issue is that it does not correct words that are wrongly accented, for example, in Spanish, the word "como" when it should have an accent or the word "mas" when it should have an accent.
Let me explain:
The sentence (always in Spanish): ¿como te va la vida? should be written like this: ¿cómo te va la vida? and when I run the spell checker it does not detect the word "como", since it should have an accent. However, if I write ¿como te va la bida? it does…1 vote -

Type tool still lags when hitting the (T) shortcut key
Hi, the type key short cut bug seems to have been fixed but when you hit the shortcut to bring up the type tool it is still very laggy. Any thought on this?
When disabling character in the settings it is instant. But i don't want to keep having to do this.
Thanks,

Variable Fonts: Align Stroke to Center shows overlaps
When using variable fonts, the Align Stroke to Center shows the overlaps in letters with live text (not good). If I use Align Stroke to Outside the overlaps arenʻt shown with live text (good) but once I use Type > Create Outlines the overlaps are shown (not good).
This happens in many variable fonts, for example Source Code VF Concept (see screenshot attached), but also true with my own variable fonts and those from other type foundries.
With the non-variable font version, the Stroke looks good in all settings mentioned here. The variable font version should look the same. Thank…

In some Hebrew fonts, part of the letter punctuation is missing or appears in the wrong place
Adobe version 17.0.1.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Copy text with punctation, (like the poem from here: https://benyehuda.org/read/30477).
2. Create in InDesign an RTL text area, and paste the text.
3. Change font to Alef Regular.
Expected results: correct location of punctation marks inside letters and above.
Actual results: missing or wrong location.
See screenshot attached.1 vote -
Not all spaces are rendered correctly with World-Ready Composer
The narrow no-break space (U+202F) is not rendered correctly when the World-Ready Composer is used: its width becomes equal to a normal space, instead of being thin.
See attachment for illustration (the problem occurs regardless of the font used), reproduced with InDesign v16.4.
This problem is maybe related to https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/41793187-bug-since-cs6-nonbreaking-space-s-issue-wit

Hyperlink shifts when replacing preceding characters
If I replace a character in front of a hyperlink with multiple characters using Find/Change, the hyperlink shifts.
(See screeshot: before and after)
If only one character is replaced, no shift occurs. Tested with InDesign CS6, 2020 and 2021, MacOS.
Here you can find a test document:
