1. Paste without formatting option disappeared, CTRL+Shift+V not working

   There was previously an option to Paste with Formatting and Paste Without Formatting, and after recent updates, the options have disappeared and paste functioning is working incorrectly. I used both of these functions for various reasons, and would greatly appreciate it coming back! I could use CTRL+Shift+V to paste without formatting, or, if I clicked into a text box and right clicked, there were for options: Cut | Copy | Paste | Paste Without Formatting. Now, only the first three appear as options and I've lost the fourth function. There are times when I WANT to paste with formatting, though mostly I paste without formatting. Now, I don't see a Right-Click menu option for "paste without formatting" and even using CTRL+Shift+V is not working. Now, the default paste seems to be "without formatting" except even then, it's pasting with the incorrect formatting - not retaining the original settings from Word, nor adopting the settings I'm pasting into. This is a significant in-efficiency as I'm having to redo paragraph styles for all paragraphs, instead of it overlaying the text I want to replace and maintaining the InDesign paragraph styles I had with the previous text.

   I'm in v17.2.1; recently upgraded to Windows 11 also.

2. Default underline position misinterprets font’s specification

   InDesign interprets the underline position as the center of the line (from which the "thickness" extends outward), whereas the OpenType spec calls for it to be the top of the line (from which the thickness extends downward). This causes inconsistencies with other application’s interpretation of the same font’s metadata.

   See here:
   https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/typography/opentype/spec/post#header

   Quote:

   underlinePosition

   This is the suggested distance of the top of the underline from the baseline (negative values indicate below baseline).

   The PostScript definition of this FontInfo dictionary key (the y coordinate of the center of the stroke) is not used for historical reasons. The value of the PostScript key may be calculated by subtracting half the underlineThickness from the value of this field.

3. "Small cap" with some fonts doesn't works

   Version of Indesign: 17.3

   Steps:
   - write a text in Arial (or Bahnschrift, Calibri, Times new roman)
   - select text and activate "Small caps",
   - go to Preference -> Advanced type -> Character setting,
   - Change "Small cap" value to 40% (from 70%),
   - NOTHING CHANGE!

   Do the same with InDesign 15.3.1 and it works.

6. European characters recognized as Kanjis in composite fonts

   I'm editing a Chinese document containing certain European characters such as ē and í.
   I've created a composite font that uses Roboto for numbers and latin alphabets, and Noto Sans CJK for the Chinese characters.

   Recently I noticed some of the European characters are incorrectly recognized as Kanjis, and are set to Noto Sans CJK instead of Roboto.

   By testing my composite font settings, I confirmed that these misbehaving characters are being recognized as Kanjis (the top row in the composite font window).

   1. InDesign version: 17.3
   2. Create a composite font as shown in Screen Shot 1
   3. I expect all European characters to also be recognized as Latin alphabets
   4. Some of the European characters are recognized as Kanjis, as can be seen in Screen Shot 2. The difference is subtle, to compare, I placed two ē side by side, and manually set the left one to Roboto and the right one to the composite font, see Screen Shot 3.

7. Paragraph Borders appearing incorrectly between paragraphs at top/bottom of page

   InDesign 17.3 (2022) running on an Apple M1 chip

   When several adjacent paragraphs have the same border settings, the treatment of borders at the top/bottom of the page vary depending on whether the pages break BETWEEN paragraphs, or WITHIN paragraphs. They should function the same.

   In the attached screenshot, query-bordersappearing.png is incorrect (ACTUAL RESULT).

   The rules should disappear as seen in query-bordersnotappearing.png (EXPECTED RESULT, even if the page break falls between paragraphs).

   The only difference between the two screenshots is I pulled up the bottom of the box on the left-hand page to force the text to break within a paragraph, rather than between paragraphs.

   The file query-bordersettings.png shows the border setting for all the paragraphs involved.

9. Bug: Table/cell styles don't define cell height and character format

   Indesign CC 2020, v17.1

   The dialog to create a new cell style doesn't have a definition for the cell height (value "At least" / "Exactly") like we find it in the table properties panel. Table styles also don't define cell height and that is all we can use. If you adjust the cell height manually and redefine the cell style, it's also not submitted. So there is no chance to format an entire table just by selecting a table style.

   Next is characters. If there is supposed to be text in a table, that text gotta have a style. Since we want to be able to define different styles for the header row(s) and body, the styles would be nested. Means, a cell style defines the style of the cell, but also of the text by using a character style.

   So, while a table style can define how the different cells shall be filled/stroked it can only format half of the table. Why? Why not make it complete?

10. Mark positioning (GPOS) went wrong for text on path

    Khmer rendering has been working well on most of the Adobe products. InDesign is one of them, especially after the fix: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/36534535-khmer-script-justification-is-broken.

    However, I've just noticed that there is another bug with GPOS for Khmer (or maybe other scripts), when the text is on a path.

    InDesign Version: 17.1
    Composer: World-ready
    Text: គុណតម្លៃរបស់យើង ស្ត្រី កន្លោង

11. There does not seem to be a way to activate the Japanese Paragraph composer in the English version of InDesign

    I am an native English speaker and use InDesign primarily in English. I sometimes have projects in other languages; i actually read a fair bit of Japanese and noticed that the lines were breaking even wtih World-ready paragraph composer turned on. I then learned that InDesign has both Japanese paragraph and single-line composers, whhich appear to be accessible in PREFERENCES under Advanced Type, but this does not seem to do anything I need done with the text.

    i was told I must install the Japanese language version of InDesign to apply this feature. It would be wonderful if that would work in the one version.

    At least I can read enough Japanese to use the J-language edition, but I work in other languages i cannot read; if other languages have this issue, I hope there will be some good solutions for them, too!

    Thank you.

12. Column Rules will NOT overprint when option [x] Overprint is checked and color is NOT [Black]

    Use a swatch like CMYK 0,0,0,100 or CMYK 0,0,0,90 or CMYK 100,0,0,0 for a column rule and turn on overprint.

    Overprint attribute will not applied to the column rules.

    Tested with InDesign 17.1.0.50 on Windows 10.

    For more details see into this discussion at the InDesign User Forum:

    Below the links to two screenshots.
    One is showing Separation Preview with all inks, the other one Separation Preview without Cyan; and this one is showing that CMYK 100,0,0,0 does NOT overprint the yellow background.

    NOTE: It seems that ONLY [Black] will overprint.
    Or all tints of [Black] as long as the tints are applied to the column rule in the text frame options dialog for column rules.

    Also tested color "Cyan" by scripting. But also this color will not overprint.
    See page 5 in my sample test document.

13. Font disappears when size of text is changed

    When working in a text box and changing the size of the font, the text disappears altogether. If I change the font to a different one, the text reappears, then change font back to the one I used originally and text disappears again. (For example: changed font from default myriad pro to Ultra--text still showing; changed font size--text disappears; change font to Roboto (or anything else)--text reappears.)
    No matter position of text box, size of box, size of font, changing to overprint view, nothing makes the text reappear except changing the font to something else. Font/text is also missing when the file is exported in any format (jpeg, pdf, etc.)
    Has happened multiple times with different fonts (so far Montserrat and Ultra are the most consistent with this issue) over the last few years (read: many versions of indesign and this is still an issue).
    Currently using the most updated version of indesign (17.2.1).

14. story editor

    Using Indesign 17.2 on x64 PC. Brand-new machine with fresh install.

    To reproduce the issue open the story editor then close it.

    Expected result: The story editor closes and I can resume working in the main document window immediately.

    Actual result: When I close the story editor, the window disappears but all the tools on the toolbar, except the text tool, remain greyed out and I can't do anything in the main document for around 30 seconds.

15. Bug: Cross-ref tooltip changes arbitrarily

    Windows 10, Indesign 17.1
    What happens: when checking cross-refs for pointing to other documents only the tooltip can help. The video shows that the cross-refs are pointing to level 3 or level 4 headlines, but only with the level 4 headline it would show on what page the cross-ref is placed. With level 3 it just shows the cross-ref text.

16. Cross reference forces line break

    1. Indesign 17 and 16
    2. Write text in textbox. Insert cross reference close to the text box right boundary.
    3. I expect the cross reference to fit that line
    4. It is forced to line break.
    5. See attached files (red arrow).
    6. The problem does not occur when using Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer but when using (the normal) Adobe Paragraph Composer.

18. new frames automatically placed below pasteboard

    I am using InDesign 17.2 x64.

    Occasionally when pressing the little red box of a text frame to continue the story and then placing it on the next page, the text frame will be placed not on the page but far below the pasteboard. (It will have an X value of anywhere from 68 to 400 inches.) It also increases the size of the pasteboard. This happens regardless if the text frame has an object style applied with a position value, or if it has no object style applied.

    It also happens if the the shift key is held down when the new frame is placed, and prevents placing more than one frame at a time.

    It doesn't happen on every document, but once the bug occurs, it affects all frames/stories in the document, and the issue persists in new copies of the file, in an idml version of the file, and in the idml file if it is opened in earlier versions of InDesign.

    It also happens on completely blank master pages, so it's not an invisible text wrap or something.

19. Right-to-Left and Left-to-Right text boxes and style sheets are confusing

    Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

    Please simplify how users specify left-to-right Western language text boxes and documents versus right-to-left Middle Eastern language text boxes and documents in the multi language version of InDesign.

    There are no fewer that four places where paragraph direction and language specification appear in various places in the InDesign workspace.

    Users would benefit from simplification of language-switching tools, because InDesign's interface does not readily expose what language text direction it is using and sometimes switches paragraph direction without users knowing what these international language settings are defaulting to.

    My issue had to do with US English text showing up properly in a text box, but when I tried to format a numbered list using the tab bar, the tab margin indicators were reversed, and I could not set up tabs.

    Issues also show up when a text box is identified as US English, but InDesign's dictionary thinks the texts is a right-to-left language and marks every word misspelled.

    Pleases simplify how languages are specified and have InDesign automatically switch paragraph direction once the user determines the language of the document.

    The only exception needed is when foreign words are embedded in text and need to appear right-to-left within a left-to-right text environment (or visa versa) — or when a document needs to be dual-language.

    Thanks for your help.

    Tom Nimen

20. paragraph window not working properly

    No numbers are showing in the paragraph window. I can manually adjust (sometimes) with the arrows but I have no idea what the numbers are. The numbers which are showing are poking out of their boxes. The justification buttons also sometimes don't work.

    I've shut down, restarted, reinstalled etc. I used an older version of InDesign for a while because it's almost impossible to work with. Woke up today and the old version has gone and the new version had installed itself but still has these bugs.

    I'm using Indesign 17.3 on MacOS Monterey 12.4.
