Type contextual control interferes with type input
When the option in Preferences > Advanced Type for “Type Contextual Controls > Show for Character Alternates, Fractions, Ordinals and Ligatures” is active you have to hit a key twice to replace a selected glyph if alternates are shown. Please see attached screen capture.
To get rid of this behavior you have to disable the option in the Preferences.

Indesign 2025 slowness
This InDesign 2025 version is ridiculously slow. Change of Type tool to Selection tools it is taking 5 seconds or any other tool. Any single letter for correction 5 seconds. Selection of any item, 5 seconds. Anything one does is not less than 5-7 seconds in all. This is nonsense problems. The cursor should move FREELY and instantly.

Arabic shadda and out of position when it comes between ain and lam, and it prevents the ain and lam from connecting
Using the Google font Cairo Variable, in this sequence, "فَعَّل," the medial ain will not connect to the lam. The shade (0651 + 0643) intervenes and sets in the wrong position.
To Reproduce
In InDesign (perhaps other programs as well), key or copy/paste the sequence with Cairo variable loaded and applied. Then Unload Cairo variable and load Cairo Regular static to see what the corrected sequence.Expected behavior
The shadda should be centered above the ain.I have contacted the font manufacturer, and the font behaves as expected in their tests. I also tested the font myself in Illustrator, and…

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:
“Preserve Local Formatting” in the Links panel or File Handling preferences.1 vote -
Selected text does not highlight
Selected text does not highlight on some spreads only: when I double-click inside a text frame in InDesign, the usual highlight that indicates the selection does not appear on some spreads in the document, in other it does work.
This makes the work very challenging.1 vote -
Add a Back Button to Navigate Recently Changed Items in Find/Change
I frequently use the Find/Change feature in InDesign for text and style replacements. However, it would be very helpful to have a "Back" button or feature to navigate to the last changed instance, especially when working on long documents.
Currently, the only workaround is manually using Undo (Ctrl+Z/Cmd+Z), but this isn't ideal for reviewing multiple changes. A "Go Back" option would enhance productivity and reduce errors by allowing users to quickly review recent changes.
Thank you for considering this request!

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.

Overset text
Hi team, I am having issues with overset text. When I drag my text frame outside of the bleed line into the workspace the icon doesn't appear. As soon as I drag it onto my page the icon shows and if I increase the text frame additional text space appears above the word. There is no text wrap on the text frame and is on a completely different layer so arrangement isn't an issue. Can you please help me fix this issue.

open type numbers
in a workaround for another bug in Indesign (Bug: mixed open type numbers) I use a character style for the optentype numbers variety porportional medaevial. Sometimes (!) applying the style to two numbers does not have any effect, it is necessary to apply to a character before and after the numbers to change the style of the numbers.

small caps hyphenation bug
small caps in a hyphenated text sometimes(!) change the first letter before the hyphen to a normal minuscle. See image.
As shown in the image: "zwi-schen" is correct, "Tradi-tion" (Times New Roman) resp. "Tra-dition" (Ten Oldstyle) shows the bug.
