1. MathML: Fehler der Bedienung sowie weitere Schrecklichkeiten

   MathML hat das Problem, dass, wenn man die Grundformel eingefügt hat, beim nächsten Mal im Editor keine mehr zur Verfügung steht. Problematisch ist das, wenn man den ersten Eintrag im Dokument gelöscht hat. Man sollte immer an die Grundformel kommen, auch wenn man tausendmal klickt, um es im übertragenen Sinn zu sagen. Außerdem ist die verwendete Schriftart des MathML fürchterlich ausgeführt: verschobene Ankerpunkte, ungenaue Kurven etc. Dazu kommt noch, dass die Zeichen am Rand teilweise beschnitten werden. All das ist im typografischen Sinn – unangemessen.

   Bezüglich der Kurvenführung sehen Sie sich als Beispielglyphe das y an! Ich habe einige fürchterliche Teile des y nochmals mit einigen Pfeilen an den zumindest auffälligsten Stellen hervorgehoben. Solche Schriftarten sollte man nicht im Traum für Designsoftware anbieten. Hunderte ähnliche Fehler habe ich Dutzenden Designern und Monotype gemeldet; und sie sind bis zu Nur-noch-online-Plattform dieses Konzerns auch verbessert worden. Durch die Onlinegier ist das jetzt anders und sie bieten ihren Schrott an, den ahnungslose Kunden kaufen. Diese Methode scheint uramerikanisch zu sein: Marktbeherrschung zwar, aber zunehmend schlechter werdende Qualität.

2. Interaction between Text Wrap, Optical Margin Alignment and Numbered List

   When a text frame with activated Optical Margin Alignment containing numbered list wraps around another text frame the numbering is incorrectly aligned. The affected numbers noticeably stick outside of the text frame and thus create unpleasant left margin. Only numbering on wrapped lines is affected, numbering below the wrap behaves as expected.

   Similarly, if the text frame is modified so as its border lays entirely outside of the area affected by wrapping offset, the optical alignment of the numbering behaves as expected. This at least provides some workaround.

   I am attaching a screenshot of the behaviour as well as a test file with described situations.

3. Searching for fonts by Japanese name in the context taskbar is not reflected.

   Windows 10/11
   InDesign Ver. 20.0

   This is a trouble when searching for a font by keyboard input of the font name on the context taskbar and selecting from those listed.
   When searching by Kanji, Japanese, etc., the search is not reflected as a search list and returns to the font before the search was entered.
   If the font name is alphanumeric, it is normal, but if the font name is not alphanumeric, it cannot be searched.

   Original text (Japanese):

   コンテキストタスクバーでフォント名をキーボード入力して検索し、リストアップされるものから選ぶ場合のトラブルです。
   漢字や日本語などで検索をかけると、検索一覧として反映できず、検索入力する前のフォントに戻ります。
   英数字名のフォントであれば正常ですが、英数字名以外のフォント名が検索できない、という状態になっています。

8. Bolding missed/changed while importing Word doc

   I'm using ID 20.2 on Mac 15.4.1.

   I am producing a book with an index that has bolding to indicate photos, but the bolding was missed or changed in a random manner when imported. It was accurate until it reached E, then there were about 200 errors that had to be manually fixed. Here were my steps:

   • Imported file word doc with Preserve Styles checked

   • Search/repace for bold and italic with bold and italics Character Style

   This should have caught all bold and italics and changed them to my style sheet – but, as mentioned, many were missed, without apparent rhyme or reason.

   Attached is the corrected sample and an error version – repeated the process in ID 2024 to see if it would work, but it didn't work there either. I looked at the Word doc, and I could see no differences in the bolded text formatting.

   This sort of error is troublesome, making my question other supposedly automated aspects of this app and costing time/money in workflow.

   Thanks,

   Gareth

9. Text box disappears when text converted to outlines

   Many sign printers require that all text is converted to outlines. When I do, any text box that has a colour defined disappears. I need to duplicate the box first and delete the text in the underlying box, then convert the above text to outlines. A bit of an arduous process.

   This shouldn't happen – it's been an issue for years.

   Can you please change it so that converting text to outlines doesn't alter the graphics – that is, the coloured and/or stroked text box remains?

   Thanks!

10. Lists ignore alignment when story is subject to object wrapping

    InDesign v20.1.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. In a blank document, create a new story. Add a few blank lines, then a new paragraph with list settings (either bullets or numbers). Align it to center or right.
    2. Create an ellipsis and set its wrapping options to contour wrapping.
    3. Move the ellipsis so that it intersects the story above the actual list (the list doesn't have to be in range of the wrapping countour).

    Expected result:
    Nothing should happen to the list, since it's far from the wrapping area.

    Actual result:
    The numbers/bullets get aligned the left, no matter what alignment is set.

    Attached are a screenshot of a test file (aligned to the right) and another found in production (aligned center).

11. Library text frame auto-size error

    Product: Adobe InDesign
    Version: 20.2
    Platform: macOS
    Issue type: Bug
    Severity: Moderate
    Reproducible: Always

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create a text frame with a single character (e.g. “X”).
    2. Enable Auto-Size (Height only).
    3. Save the text frame to the Library.
    4. Place the frame into a layout from the Library.

    Expected result:
    Text frame should retain Auto-Size setting and adjust to the content’s height.

    Actual result:
    Auto-Size is disabled, and the frame stretches from the insertion point to the bottom of the text frame area / margin, even though there’s only one character inside.

    Workaround:
    If the text frame is grouped with another object (even an invisible one), and saved to the Library as a group, the bug does not occur. The frame is then saved as a Graphic object in the Library, and Auto-Size works as expected.

    Suggested fix:
    Ensure that Auto-Size metadata is preserved when saving standalone text frames to the Library, as with grouped objects.

12. Bug when editing link text when changes are tracked

    There it a bug which occurs when the following takes place.

    1. Track changes is activated for a text frame in InDesign.
    2. A user adds text that will include a hyperlink.

    (See Image1.)

    1. A second user creates the hyperlink in the text.
    2. This user also then makes a change to the text that contains the hyperlink.

    (See Image2)

    1. If the ICML file is exported for editing in InCopy and then placed again into the document the formatting will change in the places where the original content was added - which follow the change in the text which contains the hyperlink. Depending on how this occurs text content can also be duplicated following the original text.

    (See image3)

    Image3 shows that the default hyperlink styling (blue with underlining) now extends to the end of the original text. The hyperlink itself also extends that far.

    This will happen in any place where a change occurs in text containing a hyperlink that was originally added by another user. It is not likely to occur very often (due to the nature of the steps that need to occur in a specific order) however the results could very big problems if they are not caught.

13. Converting a text URL to a hyperlink removes the instances of the text variables!!!

    1. All InDesign versions
    2. Create a URL that includes Text Variable instance
    3. URL looks and prints correctly,
    4. but hyperlink is wrong: there are no text variables values in it.

    It is obvious that URLs are convenient to generate from text variables. Especially if there are thousands of them!
    This would be a phenomenal solution not only to our problem, but...

    Instead of substituting the values ​​of text variable instances, nothing is replaced (empty strings instead of text variable instances), and the hyperlink (which looks and prints correctly in the text) is generated as invalid!
    We need to create and maintain a script to fix incorrectly generated hyperlinks, but this drawback could be solved at the highest level - just add text variable processing to the hyperlink converter!

14. "GREP Load Find with selected text" is incomplete on macOS

    version: any OS: any macOS
    Edit menu > Keyboard Shortcuts > Text and Tables > “GREP Load Find with selected text” also “GREP Load Find and Find Next instance”

    If the selected text contains meta characters that are escaped with a backslash, such as "End of Paragraph" (\r) or tab characters (\t), they are all captured as ¥r and ¥t.
    I’m forced to retype the ¥ into a \ before starting the search.
    On Windows, it works without retyping.

    “Forced line break" (\n) is not a problem as a function, but the display is corrupted, which makes me uneasy.

    It is a pity because it is a very useful function.

15. Portuguese from Portugal

    The Portuguese language originated in Portugal.
    That being said, the Portuguese Dictionary from Portugal implemented in InDesign should align with the native language. In fact, there are numerous supposed errors detected by Dynamic Spelling.
    InDesign insists on not accepting words like "Económico" or "prémios," as it considers them to be mistakes, given that in Brazilian Portuguese, which is a variant of the Portuguese language, they are not written this way. It's about time they fix this issue.
    Thank you.

16. Missing character in CentSchbook CE font in InDesign2025

    Yesterday, while working in Indesign 2025, white spaces appeared in the imported text where the letter "r" should be - one character suddenly disappeared! Even in the font set there is a white space instead (see picture). I tried this set in Word and it continues to appear there. It also appears when I try it in the old version of Indesign CS4. Not here in ID2025. However, about two days ago I was already creating documents in ID2025 with this font set and there was no problem. This is a current problem that I need to resolve immediately. Thanks for the feedback.

17. Allow InDesign to retain local formatting when updating linked text files.

    When using linked text files in InDesign, any local formatting changes made directly in InDesign (such as font size, color, bold/italic, etc.) are lost when the external text file is updated. This is a significant limitation for designers who need to maintain complex formatting in layouts. Please add an option to retain local formatting when linked text files are updated.

    Suggestion:

18. Issue Report: Kerning Not Applied with Ligatures Enabled in InDesign 2024/2025 (Regression from 2023

    Description:
    A kerning issue occurs in Adobe InDesign 2024 and 2025 when using ligature-supported fonts like Microsoft Uighur Font. Manual kerning adjustments fail to apply when ligatures are enabled. This problem does not occur in InDesign 2023, where disabling ligatures allows kerning to function as expected.

    ---

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Font Setup: Use Microsoft Uighur Font in InDesign 2024/2025. (I use my personal font)
    2. Text Input: Type a word containing the ligature اللہ (e.g., any two Arabic text).
    3. Enable Ligatures: Ensure ligatures are turned on (Character panel > Ligatures: ON).
    4. Apply Manual Kerning: Attempt to adjust kerning between characters (e.g., using Alt + Arrow Keys).
    - Observed Result: Kerning adjustments do not take effect.
    5. Disable Ligatures: Turn ligatures off (Character panel > Ligatures: OFF).
    - Observed Result: Kerning now works as expected.

    Expected Behavior:
    Manual kerning should apply regardless of ligature settings, as seen in InDesign 2023.

    Affected Versions:
    - Broken: InDesign 2024 & 2025
    - Working: InDesign 2023

    ---

    Request for Assistance:
    Has anyone encountered this regression? Are there known fixes or workarounds for newer InDesign versions? Testing with Microsoft Uighur Font and the ligature اللہ should replicate the issue. Any guidance or insights would be appreciated!

    (Note: Ensure OpenType features are not overriding settings, and test in a new document with default preferences.)

19. overlapping text on paragraph break in INDD

    When formatting text using a parent page element that's been activated (by using Shift + CMD + Click) on a page, and forcing a paragraph break so that the text goes from two lines to three, the first of the now three lines "hides" behind the second line. The current fix to this issue is to make an edit to the first line so it "pays attention" to the change and goes where it's supposed to.

    Font used: Los Feliz OT, Bold, 27
    Justification: Bottom

    Screenshots included of before the edit, during the edit, and fixed, with hidden characters turned on.

20. Text Variables using Running Headers don't show up in Table Header Rows when table is threaded across multiple pages

    I have a table running across multiple pages. In the Header row I want to have a Text Variable using Running Header to pull the text using a particular paragraph style. The text variable doesn't show up. If I unthread the table so it's just a single frame, it appears.

    My workaround is to unthread to one frame, convert the text variable to text, then rethread. It works if I do this at the end, but defeats the purpose of using them if customer wants last minute edits.
