Text Anchors For Hyperlinking Keep Changing To Different Anchors
After manually changing every single text anchor back to the proper destination and saving, the text anchors have now changed to different locations or have been removed completely. This is a huge bug that has caused me to waste a week of time.

Select multiple cells in a table that are not next to each other.
Good morning,
When we creating a table in Indesign, it is impossible to select several cells at the same time, if they are not side by side.
There is no shortcut yet that allows you to do this.
This would save a lot of time, being able to change the background color, or font, of several selected cells.
For the moment, we have to take the cells one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one... Not really fast...!Thanks in advance for future updates! :-)

Increasing Futura text size beyond 18pts causes bulleted list to misalign
Whenever I create a bulleted list in inDesign and increase the size beyond 18pts when specifically using Futura PT, the list misaligns. It doesn't do this with any other typeface.

"Visual Cursor Movement" not working in Arabic in ID 19/19.01
On previous versions of ID with Arabic support, I could press left arrow to move cursor left, right arrow to move right. In versions 19 and 19.01, the cursor goes to the beginning or next line of Arabic text. So I have to select 'Logical Cursor Movement' under settings but now cursor move the opposite way: left arrow moves cursor right.

Indesing 2024: Opentype Superscript not working for Endnote Markers
Indesign 2024:
Opentype Superscripts don’t apply to endnote marker via character styleWhen working with end- or footnotes, instead of using the default settings, I usually create specific character styles for the markers in the text.
In these settings, I use the typeface’s native opentype settings to define a superscript number.In the latest version 19.0.1, I can define all these features in a character style and it works when applying to a number, but the character style can’t be applied to an endnote marker (it however works with a footnote marker).
This is a very annoying bug. I can't…

first keystroke is missing after pasting text
The Show Paste Options setting eats the first keystroke after pasting text. Turn this setting OFF and the problem disappears. Turn it on and you will think you're going crazy.
InDesign CC 19.0.1 on macOS Ventura 13.6.1 (22G313) on Apple Silicon M2 Pro
Create a new document with a text field. Make sure Show Paste Options is checked (in Preferences » Clipboard Handling... » Show Paste Options)
In this example (see attached video), after pasting text, I typed "5" twice. I should see two "5"s following the pasted text.
The first "5" does not register. Only the second "5" appears…

table indent
19.0.1 - The default table loads with an 8 pica left indent. Creating a table from text also loads an 8 pica indent but I could not find a way to alter that. In the styling it showed 0 indent. I was able to adjust the default table but not the one I created from text. I deleted preferences and there was no change. Please fix.

Fully justified Arabic text drops the final period of paragraph when kashidas are on
In InDesign 19.00 and 19.01, if you set Arabic text to justify with last line aligned right and kashidas turned on, the final period of the paragraph drops from PDF output. This seems to happen only in RTL scripts; I can't recreate it in Latin script. Thread with details:
I've uploaded a PDF showing the missing periods, but when attempting to upload the corresponding INDD file, I get an error dialog claiming that "the following files are not supported and have been removed". Same is true if I zip it before attempting to upload... and I can't find a…

Text variables with current date not working
I created a text variable to update the date when the document is modified. When I opened my document in the beta version of InDesign, the text frame for my text variable was empty. I tried to re-enter the variable, and I tried making a new variable. When I selected a variable that included the current date, it would not appear. I created a Modification Date text variable and a custom text variable based on the Modification date. They appeared correctly. I saved the InDesign doc to the cloud. Once I applied a paragraph style, the text disappeared in both…

double clicking (to select a word) or triple clicking (to select a line) is not working properly in the newest update.
double clicking (to select a word) or triple clicking (to select a line) is not working properly in the newest update. Double clicking may just insert the cursor in the middle of a word or worse is only selecting part of the word, triple clicking sometimes just selects the word and not the whole line. All preferences are properly set. It just started with 19.0.1

Incorrect ligatures in InDesign 2024
In Indesign 19.0.1, ligatures are replaced incorrectly in German. Comparing these with the same document in 18.5.1, where they appear correct, this appears to be a bug in the new version. One screenshot is from INDD 2023 and the other from INDD 2024.

The issue is currently under investigation.

Auto-Size Frames create Overset Text when scaled or embedded
Indd 2022 (German), v 17.4.2.77
A recurring Bug: when auto-size text frames are embedded into each other and then placed from CC Libraries into a document and/or the included paragraph styles are updated, the frame collapses and creates overset Text.
Similarily, the frames sometimes expland to ridiculous sizes. Usually, this can be "fixed" by typing in a new character and then deleting it, causing the frame to reevaluate its size. However it severely impacts the usability of our standard assets.
Another issue: if a text frame is set to "auto-size" and there are borders set within the text frame, it…

RTL quotation mark rendering inconsistencies in InDesign v19
In InDesign versions 18 and earlier, the left and right quotation marks for Thaana were interpreted as "start" and "end" quotation marks. However, Microsoft Word and web browsers and most applications interpreted them as "right" and "left" as named in the Unicode specification.
In InDesign version 19, the rendering behaves oppositely (similar to Word, web browsers, etc.), even though the codepoint remains the same. Additionally, some other anomalies are present. For instance, when I use a right/left quotation mark as a bullet point, it renders as the opposite one.
Please refer to the attached recording for another case where I…

Custom fonts in bold/black appears thin and bold in latest versions of InDesign and Photoshop
Custom fonts in bold appears alternately as bold and thin in the latest version of InDesign (19.0.1) and Photoshop (25.1) I've tried deleting all apps and installing again, but it doesn't help. The problem only occurs in Adobe programs. Not in Word etc. It works fine, when I'm installing an older version of InDesign, fx 18.5.
The font that is used is the Google font "Outline".
