Typesetting changes on paragraphs that are not touched
while working on texts - like doing corrections or micro typopraphy – InDesign changes the line breaks to other paragraphs that I am not working on.
On the same page, but when I work on details sometimes I zoom and do not see that things are changing. This often causes changes to several pages and I need to fix everything back!1 vote -

Disappearing caption text
When adding text to an existing caption in Adobe InDesign 2023, the entire caption disappears. To solve, I can widen the caption box, which our client's formatting specs do not allow, or adjust the text frame options to ignore text wrap, which distorts the horizontal scale of the text. How can I add text to captions without having to change my caption text box's layout?

InDesign quitte à répétition
Bonjour Adobe
J'ai un problème avec un bloc de texte dans la mise-en-pages d’un livre de 780 pages.
Lorsque la première fois, j’ai généré la table des matières pour la Liste des figures et tableaux et que j'ai voulu y faire des corrections InDesign a quitté et quand j'ai réouvert le travail, à chaque fois que j'ai voulu enlever du texte le logiciel quitte et requitte.
Quand j'ai regénéré la Table des matières, je n'ai plus eu ce problème avec la nouvelle Liste, mais je suis toujours pris avec ce bloc de texte problématique.J'avais déjà eu ce problème dans…

consecutive Footnote numbering across book file with multiple sections
Currently InDesign can't have consecutive numbering across it's footnotes if you have a publication made up of a number of book files.
It always restarts at one.
That's hopeless if you're doing an annual report where you need consecutive numbering across the entire book.2 votes -
Text glitch in paragraph following uneven 2 column text
This is from InDesign version 17.3 but it's happened in earlier versions of InDesign CC. Text paragraph after an uneven 2-column list is overlapped onto a single line. Happens only when the right-hand column is longer than the left. This error was from a 500-page hardcover book where the author printed 100s of copies!

problem with optical margin alignment and world-ready paragraph composer
This happens in multiple versions of InDesign. I've reproduced it in ID CS 6 (8.1.0.420), ID CC 2019 (14.0.3.433), ID 2021 (16.4.0.55), and ID 2022 (17.0.0.68).
Steps to reproduce:
(1) Open InDesign
(2) Create a new empty document
(3) Create a text frame that is 100 mm by 100 mm
(4) Place Text4.txt
(5) Go Type > Story > check Optical Margin AlignmentExpected result:
The left margin should be somewhat ragged because the * character needs to be shifted left to make the margin appear straight. The right margin should be completely even because each line ends with the…

Table Fault
Please, please, resolve this.
- Indesign version 18 (2023)
- Issue: Create a two column text frame, or as many you want, and fill with text. For illustration purposes, create a table in the middle of the text frame. Span the table across both columns. Exaggerate the table spacing, to 25 pts before and after.
- Expected Result: The text in both columns of the text frame, in accordance with the table spacing, should be (i) equal on both sides of the two columns (ii) the text flow before the table should stop, and the text should continue again after the table. The…

Pasting Word tracked changes text keeps the old text as well as changes
When 'Text Only' is selected in Preferences/Clipboard Handling, pasting from a Word doc that has tracked changes results in the old edits (such as deletions) being retained in the pasted text in InDesign.
If this isn't a bug, perhaps there's a way to make these ramifications more obvious to the user.

UK spell check not recognising US spellings as incorrect
UK spell check not recognising US spellings as incorrect.
e.g the word 'customize' appears in the story. In UK English this would be 'customise'. The spell checker should recognise this as incorrect, but does not.
Spell check language has been set to UK English.

buggy footnote placement
Footnotes are randomly placed in the middle of the text stream, rather than the bottom of the page. I've seen it happen a couple times, but I don't know why it happens. Other footnotes are placed in the correct position.
In Document Footnote Options, Place end of Story Footnotes at Bottom of Text is UNchecked. However, I get the same result if it IS checked.
The worst part is that there is NO way to correct this!

case
I am using Roboto condensed regular to write foreword for a booklet. I just wonder why I the font type is capitalised in case in default, and I cannot change it to lower case. I have tried Type > Change Case, but it doesn't work.

Bug: Conditional text not shown as underlined when text is marked otherwise
Version: Indesign 17.x on Windows 10
Problem: Sometimes text is being marked in bright yellow by Indesign. This is something related to character spacing and hyphenation and set. If that text is also set to be conditional, the underlines are not shown. In the attached picture you see it. This is a continuous conditional text.1 vote -
.CSV files cannot be placed to INDD 18.00
After updating to Indesign version 18.0, we cannot insert .csv files. We have tried different settings. So far it worked. The content does not appear in the data merge palette. When opening old files from previous version, it is not functional. In the old version inserting and original files already created works.

InDesign 18.0, textformat with bullet/numbering in tables/Textformatierung mit Nummerierung in Tabellen
- InDesign 18.0
- In table cells we put the € sign with an eighth-fourth as numbering in a paragraph format, so we don't need to type in the € sign every time. Since InDesign 18.0 the text disapears (column 1) when inserting a new text (price), as if the column seems to be too narrow. When converting the numbering into text (column 2) the text appears again. With the numbering function in it you cannot make the column smaller. There ist always a big space before the text (or after when left-aligned) (column 3).

17.3からルビが振れない
17.2.1まではテキストボックスに流したテキストに問題なくルビがふれてましたが17.3以降新規作成したテキストボックに対してルビ情報が反映されません。
17.2.1で使っていた書類を17.3と18で開いたところルビは問題なく表示出来ていてます。
しかし、その書類に新たにテキストボックスを作るとそのボックスにはルビが打てません。17.3で新規書類を作りそこに17.2.1でルビが表示されてるテキストボックスをコピーして新規書類にペーストするとルビが振れます。
18でも同様のようです。改善を望みます。
