2. Find Change

   Find and change no longer offers just to find and change something within a story (text box) - if shows either Search: Document or Search: All Documents, whereas previously it would additionally show Search: Selected text, and Search: Story.
   This is a major problem.

3. Myriad VF has a taller Ascent Baseline than Myriad Pro

   Myriad VF is supposed to be a variable version of Myriad Pro, so I was trying to use it in tandem/to replace Myriad Pro in the document I am working on. The huge problem is, for some reason the Ascent Baseline on Myriad VF is much taller than it should be, which then when I try to replace the font, it completely messes up everything. 

   I also have Myriad Variable Concept on my computer, (which is apparently supposed to only show up in Illustrator, or something? But it shows up in InDesign for me.) And it properly matches the Ascent baseline of Myriad Pro. 

   All 3 of them match on every baseline except Ascent too, so I’m thinking this is a bug. It only seems to effect things in InDesign, I’m not getting any misalignment in Photoshop or Illustrator, but I’m also not seeing all the same text box options in those programs that InDesign gives.

4. World-Ready Composer – Nonbreaking & Flush Bugs

   NOTE: Please see the attached screenshots
   Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer ONLY

   1. NONBREAKING SPACE (FLEXIBLE) BEHAVES AS FIXED WIDTH:
      The "Nonbreaking Space" fails to expand/compress in justified text. It stays at a fixed width, making it identical to the "Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width)".

   2. MULTIPLE FLUSH SPACES FAIL TO DISTRIBUTE EQUALLY:
      In a single line only the last Flush Space in the line expands, while the others behave like standard spaces.

   Expected behavior:
   NONBREAKING SPACE: Should flex with justification.
   FLUSH SPACES: Should distribute the empty space equally between all instances in the line.

   System Info: MacOS+Windows
   All InDesign versions

5. Place and Link

   To the InDesign Product Team,

   I am writing to provide feedback on the Place and Link (Content Collector) workflow. While the ability to sync text content across a document is invaluable, the current implementation of the "Parent-Child" relationship is overly restrictive and creates significant manual rework for designers.

   The Problem: Currently, when a Parent object is updated, the Child object frequently reverts its font size, frame dimensions, and character treatment to match the Parent—even when "Preserve Local Overrides" is enabled. While "Style Mapping" exists as a workaround, it is an overly complex solution for a simple design need: keeping the words synced while keeping the design independent.

   The Proposed Solution: I request a more intuitive "Link Options" toggle that allows a Child object to permanently lock its local formatting. Specifically:

   Content-Only Sync: A high-level checkbox that tells the Child to only accept string (text) updates, ignoring all Parent-side attributes like point size, leading, tracking, and color.
   
   Geometry Independence: An option to decouple the frame's scale and dimensions from the Parent permanently, without needing to dive into complex sub-menus.
   
   One-Click "Stay as I Am": A simplified "Link Options" dialog where "Preserve Local Overrides" actually functions as a master lock for all visual attributes, rather than being overridden by "Update Appearance" or "Update Styles" flags.
   

   The "Place and Link" tool should function as a content-management bridge, not a formatting mirror. Designers need the flexibility to use the same text in a large headline (Parent) and a small sidebar (Child) without the software constantly fighting their layout decisions.

   Thank you for your time and for continuing to improve the industry standard for layout design.

   Best regards,

6. Deleted text reappears when another object is selected

   I copied a set of blocks and replaced the text in them. However, when I select other objects with the cursor, the deleted text reappears in the window where I replaced the text, and disappears when I release the mouse button.

7. Arabic Diacritic Stacking Broken in v21.2 – Kasra Always Attaches Under Shadda When Ligatures Enabled

   Severity: Critical
   InDesign Version: 21.2 x64
   Language: Arabic (RTL)

   Bug Summary

   Incorrect positioning of Arabic diacritics (Kasra + Shadda) when ligatures are enabled.
   Input order of combining marks is ignored, breaking previous behavior (pre-v17).

   Environment

   Text Direction: RTL

   Language: Arabic

   Font: KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh

   Composer: World-Ready Composer

   Ligatures: Enabled

   Diacritic Positioning panel tested (no effect)

   Description

   In versions up to 17, manual input order of Arabic diacritics controlled stacking:

   Kasra (U+0650) then Shadda (U+0651) → Kasra under base letter

   Shadda then Kasra → Kasra under Shadda

   In version 21.2 x64, InDesign enforces mark-to-mark positioning strictly.
   Kasra always attaches under Shadda, regardless of input order.

   This removes manual typographic control required in professional Arabic publishing.

   Not a Font Issue

   Font tested: KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh

   Works correctly in Microsoft Word

   Word respects input order

   Therefore issue originates from InDesign shaping engine, not the font

   Workarounds Tested
   1. Disable Ligatures

   Result: Kasra appears under base letter (correct)
   Problem: Not viable for production — breaks Arabic typography and workflow in large documents (800+ pages)

   1. Diacritic Positioning Panel

   No effect on stacking behavior

   1. GREP + Baseline Shift

   Only visual workaround — not a shaping fix

   Additional Observation

   If entering:
   Kasra + Shadda + Kasra

   The Kasra appears under the base letter (duplicated), indicating partial internal support for alternate stacking.

   Steps to Reproduce

   Set paragraph direction to RTL

   Use font: KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh

   Enable Ligatures

   Type a letter + Kasra + Shadda

   Observe: Kasra appears under Shadda

   Disable Ligatures

   Observe: Kasra appears under base letter

   Impact

   Breaks classical Arabic typography control

   Affects religious and academic publishing

   Removes backward compatibility with previous versions

   Forces manual verification in large documents

   Request

   Please investigate:

   Interaction between ligatures and mark-to-mark positioning

   Changes introduced after v17

   Possibility of restoring manual diacritic stacking behavior

   Or adding an option such as:
   “Respect input order for Arabic diacritics”

   Immediate attention requested due to impact on professional Arabic publishing workflows

   Severity: Critical
   InDesign Version: 21.2 x64
   Language: Arabic (RTL)

   Bug Summary

   Incorrect positioning of Arabic diacritics (Kasra + Shadda) when ligatures are enabled.
   Input order of combining marks is ignored, breaking previous behavior (pre-v17).

   Environment

   Text Direction: RTL

   Language: Arabic

   Font: KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh

   Composer: World-Ready Composer

   Ligatures: Enabled

   Diacritic Positioning panel tested (no effect)

   Description

   In versions up to 17, manual input order of Arabic diacritics controlled stacking:

   Kasra (U+0650) then Shadda (U+0651) → Kasra under base letter

   Shadda then Kasra → Kasra under Shadda

8. Text outside of text frame (top of frame)

   Version 21.2

   I saw this error in earlier versions of InDesign, but it was later fixed. Now it appears to have returned. I copied text into a text frame and the intelligent text flow created additional pages and frames to fit the text. While scrolling through the document, I noticed that the text in some frames (fewer than 5%) is partially positioned above the top of the frame (see image). To fix this, I open the Text Frame Options, change the vertical justification, and then change it back to the original setting (Top). The frame then fits the text correctly.

9. Text boxes with rounded or beveled edges should have square (or controllable padding edges)

   I want to add text to a text frame with beveled edges without have to worry about the text being pushed by the bevel. Can we fix this?

10. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OJRbaztUsQm_L05_QGI4I6efQZlmuIng/view?usp=sharing

    Thank you for the video.

    The Align/Paragraph alignment action only forces a screen redraw.
    It does not solve the root problem.

    The issue is that text randomly disappears from the layout view while still existing in the Story Editor.

    Forcing redraw via Align, Preview toggle, zoom or Story Editor proves this is a rendering bug, not a workflow issue.

    This makes real-world editorial layout (magazines, multi-frame text) unreliable.

    Please escalate this to the InDesign engineering team as a rendering / text redraw defect on Windows 11.

11. InDesign "Dynamic Spelling" is no good in Turkish

    I've been using InDesign for like a decade. In all that time "Dynamic Spelling" function has always been terrible for Turkish language. It underlines some words which are correct in every way bu then again skips some words which are totally wrong. Besides, it makes horrible suggestions for underlined words.

    Take a look at the screenshot, for example. The word "kuruyemiş" is a combined word which is written without a space. However, it not only underlines the word but also suggest a list of variations which are ALL WRONG.

    It seems like all the misspelled versions of this word has been entered into the dictionary as "correct" at some point in the past, and InDesign has been using the same dictionary for years. I am tired of copying everything into Word, make a proper spellcheck, and then again insert the text into Indesign.

    Don't you think it's about time someone update the dictionary in Turkish? If anyone from Adobe is reading this post, please consider this message as a conctructive criticism.

12. Please add a “Left and Right Spacing” measurement to the “Underline” box. CC 2026 21.1

    Please add a "Left and Right Spacing" measurement to the "Underline" box. There are issues with hyphens. With unhyphens, pressing the Enter key and spacebar takes a long time. The problem also occurs when making corrections to the text.

14. Text Shifting

    Hello, our team has been having an issue of text randomly shifting within the text box. The entire baseline appears to shift down whenever I type in the text box, whenever I do find/ replace text, and when pasting within the text box. The Text frame options remain the same but the text appears to shift. Sometimes only half the text shifting down. This is mainly happening with a text box that is turned sideways in banners we have on the page. This seems to happen across all documents new and old. This is on version 21.0.2

15. Lots of problems with fonts on InDesign (21.0.1)

    InDesign is not recognizing the fonts we previously used in version 20.5. When opening documents in version 21.0.1, InDesign prompts us to replace the fonts, even though those fonts are already installed on our computers.

    Additionally, when copying and pasting text from a template created in InDesign 20.5 into a new InDesign 21.0.1 document, the pasted text becomes unreadable.

    Steps to reproduce:

    Open a document created in InDesign 20.5 and add some text. Then open the same document in InDesign 21.0.1. Create a new text frame, copy the text from the original frame, and paste it into the new one.

    Expected result:

    • InDesign 21.1 should not prompt to replace fonts that are already installed.

    • Copying and pasting text should preserve the original characters without corrupting them or displaying random symbols or numbers.

16. Bug Report: “Find/Change” Story Option Not Appearing

    Hi Adobe Support Team,

    I would like to report a bug in Adobe InDesign. When using the Find/Change command, even though I select Story in the selection area, the Story option does not appear in the Find section.

    Currently, the only workaround I’ve found is to close and reopen InDesign, but the issue recurs every time. I can provide a screenshot to illustrate the problem if needed.

    Please let me know how I can assist in resolving this issue.

    Thank you.

19. MathML Rendering Error

    In InDesign v21.0, the updated Maths Expressions Panel automatically inserts mathvariant="normal" into the root <math> element after I edit an equation using the new panel. This behaviour does not occur until the equation is edited in version 21.0, but once it happens, the MathML rendering is altered incorrectly.

    Issue Details
    When I open and edit an existing MathML equation in the new Maths Expressions Panel (v21.0), InDesign injects mathvariant="normal" into the <math> tag upon saving.
    This overrides the default MathML behaviour and forces all <mi> elements to render upright (normal) instead of italic.

    • Manually deleting the attribute does not help—InDesign re-adds it every time I save or update the equation.
    • Choosing Italic under Typefaces Properties → Font Style further breaks MathML rules by causing <mn> and <mo> elements to become italic, which is incorrect.
    • The issue appears to originate from the new Font Style feature introduced in v21.0.

    Impact
    Once an equation is edited in version 21.0, its typography becomes incorrect. This affects mathematical accuracy, consistency, and the overall quality of my project’s typesetting.

    Requested Fix
    Please correct or remove the automatic insertion of mathvariant="normal" so MathML equations retain proper default styling—particularly the italicisation of <mi> tags—after editing.

20. Outlining Texts when grouped

    For exporting print PDFs i often have to convert all texts into paths. That does not work if a Text is grouped with any objekt.
    I hope for an option to convert all texts into paths, even if they are grouped with other objects.
