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).
- We would like to to continue using…

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。

Capitalisation of letters b and i triggering the command prompt to bold and italicise copy
Issue being experienced on Adobe InDesign 2023 version 17.4 (and previous version), using MacOS Monterey v12.6.
When using shift + b or shift + i commands in indesign to create capital B or capital I, the command is instead acting as I would expect if I were to key in CMD + B or CMD + I in Microsoft or code - it is changing the font to 'Semibold' (shift + B) and 'Book italic' (shift + I) and not capitalising the letter.
The issue can be replicated reliably across all fonts loaded.
Please can this be investigated?

Can't type letter "n" in text boxes
For some reason I can't type the letter "n" in text boxes in indesign v 17.3 on Windows 10.
In some text boxes, typing "n" does not generate the letter. In tables, typing "n" can sometimes change the cell style or paragraph style, and does not generate the letter.
I don't have caps lock or a stuck control / alt key ... Everything else is working fine.

Bug: Find/Change of conditional text partially bad
Version: Indesign 17.x, Windows 10
Description: Find/Change dialog cannot find a text that has two or more conditions set when you select one of these to find.
Step to reproduce:
1. Write some text and mark a word.
2. Create two conditions, A and B, and assign them to that word. Exit edit mode.
3. Open Find/Change and set the filter in "Conditions" to find condition A only.
Result: Indesign cannot find a match. Logical bug.P. S. I wanted to add an INDD to demonstrate, but software says it's not allowed

Hey, can we make emoji's available for GenZ and millenial content creators?
Would make my job much more efficient if there were an emoji keyboard available natively in the software.

Parent Text Frame Offset when Autoflowing Text
When autoflowing text, the parent page text frame is being offset on every new page that's automatically added.
In the attached screenshot, the top page was manually added and text autoflowed into it from the previous page. The parent text frame is positioned as per the top page.
InDesign versions 17 to 19 (2022 to 2024).
Expect parent page text frame to be in the position it is in on the parent page.
Actual result: text frame is offset and has to be repositioned on every page manually.1 vote -
[ID 17.2.20] Import xlsx spreadsheet: formatted numbers are truncated
MacOS 10.15.7 (19H1824) French localization
InDesign 17.2.0.20 (17200)
Excel 16.58 (16.58.22021501)When importing an Excel sheet as a table, every number is truncated before the first thousand separator (which is a space in French).
1 457 will be imported as 1
21 457 >> 21
(21 457) >> (21
-210 457 >> -210
621 457 >> 621
and so on…After a lot of tests on several configurations and discussions on the Adobe forum, I can say that the issue will only occur on French macOS systems, starting with Catalina. No matters what version of InDesign is used (15.0 thru…

Format replacements are not counted (0 replacement(s) done when formats are changed)
Searching for double line breaks and changing the indentation to 0. It says 0 replacement(s) done, but the condition is in fact found, and the "first indent" is indeed set to 0. See attached screen shots.
Is this behaviour deliberate, since no text contents is changed, only formatting?1 vote -

Conditional text paste problem
I use conditional text quite a bit… it’s a really useful feature.
However, if you have to edit the text there is an issue (for me anyway). If you “type” new/replacement text everything is fine. But more often than not I am pasting text from a marked UP PDF or an email or Word file… when you paste, it automatically defaults to unconditional, even though what it is replacing is all a specific condition. Is that a bug? Or is it just me?

Text wrap around anchored objects needs to work according to settings. It is inconsistent and erratic.
Text wrap refuses to wrap properly around my anchored objects regardless of anchor placement in the paragraph or text wrap offset settings.
This causes the object to overlap the text and/or have inconsistent margin offset around the object. It's erratic and inconsistent among the various objects, even though they all have the exact same object style applied.
Some of the objects wrap a little better than others - at least they're not overlapping on top of text - but the wrap margins are still inconsistent. Not a single object wraps how I believe it should based on the style attributes…
