line spacing / leading glitches
I often change line spacing of a single line by selecting the first character of a line and changing the line spacing. Normally, this will adjust line spacing for the one line, but I'm encountering a baffling glitch that changes the line spacing for the line under the affected bit of text where I changed the line spacing. Note that I'm changing the leading of the first character of a new paragraph line. Please see my screen record to see this in action. I have tried this with multiple fonts. I am using the most up to date version.

OpenType mark positioning messed up when using bidi text with Thaana font
The font uses ccmp feature to build dotted glyph from base glyphs.
When a LTR character comes into question, these glyphs are rendered incorrectly.

Unknown Script 33 (InDesign 19.5)
Hello, I'm a Type-Design and I'm currently developing a typeface and encountering an issue during the export process. When attempting to use the font in Adobe InDesign, I receive an error code "Unknown Script 33" upon selecting the font. The typeface includes two styles: plain and italic. The issue seems to be linked to the PostScript name, which varies based on how I rename it in FontLab.
Notably, the font functions correctly in InDesign when only the plain or italic file is activated individually. The problem might be related to certain TrueType metadata, as indicated by the "(OTF)" label in…

Align to decimal tab stop behavior changes to left justified if ligatures present
Indesign 19.5
Create something like a manual numbered list with the first tab set as a decimal tab stop and any word in the first line that contains a ligature.. It can be as simple as "[tab]2. fi".
Expected result is the period would align where the decimal tab stop is set. This will happen up until a ligature is introduced.
Once a ligature is present on the first line, the decimal tab stop behaves like a left-justified tab stop instead.

Is this a text wrap problem or something else??
I use InDesign 2022. My Text wrap is set to 'none'.
When I open a new text box it’s automatically applying a 1" a white space top and bottom that is the width of the text box. Also a 1/4" white space to each side of the box, that is the height of the text box. These 'white panels' (I hesitate to call them text wraps) blank out other text boxes and photos, but sometimes the text from the underlying text box shows through. Bringing the photo to the front can help where a photo is concerned.
This is especially…

Running Header issue with anchored textframes (for alternative titles)
If I use an anchored textframe to have abbreviated versions of the headlines as running head, they override every following trigger until the end of the story.
I use character styles as trigger set to 'last on page'.
Please fix this. (Or configure a better way for customizable running headers. Preferable in combination with the table of content)

undesired text reflow
When anchoring an object to which text wrap has been applied, the text in the paragraph receiving the anchor reflows in an undesired manner, affecting layout in minute but important ways. Trying to fit book copy around an image without creating spaciness within the shortened lines is hard enough without having all one's adjustments made null when the text shifts due to an anchor that has nowhere else it can be placed.

Variable font sliders are laggy
Variable font sliders are much less smooth in InDesign, compared to Illustrator. They are much laggier.
Attached is a screen recording of the Acumin variable font being used in Illustrator (top) and InDesign (bottom).

Diagonal Lines no border
Having an issue with using diagonal lines in cell options. I'm wanting to split a cell diagonally with two different colours. The fill works fine as intended but the border isn't working at all. When you zoom right in on the cell it looks fine but when zoomed out it disappears. It also doesn't show up when exported as a PDF as you can see in the screenshot. My workaround has been to duplicate the table on top and then remove the diagonal lines fill, set the fill to none and then the border shows just fine. Not ideal having…

Text justification algorithm is *really* sloppy.
When the justification is set to "justified," when I add or delete text, text moves down from previous lines, making those earlier lines look really stretched out with huge spaces. This happens constantly. It looks really bad, and there's no logical reason for it.
This happens whether "Hyphenate" is on or off.
Each line of text should always hold as many words as it can hold (without shrinking anything to fit). What happens on any later line should never cause any change in previous lines.
I'm using InDesign v. 19.3 x64 in Windows.

OpenType features bug, missing glyphs on PDF export and convert to outlines
I've run into a bug when converting text to outlines, and PDF export, relating to OpenType Features.
I have a font, Chartwell, that has worked perfectly in InDesign for 13+ years. I recently received this bug report from a customer, but am able to recreate it on my end.
In InDesign’s UI, everything still seems to work correctly. However, when exporting a PDF or converting the text to outlines, some glyphs disappear completely. (See image)
The font uses complex Discretionary Ligatures to pull off substituting pie chart shapes. The issue doesn't appear for all discretionary ligatures, but something about this…

When language is set to Polish, InDesign insert American ("") instead of Polish quotes („”)
This is very annoying thing. Could you please fix it? (In InDesign CS6 it worked like a charm ;) ).

Conflict - when I select "e" and I would like to change it to "ę" (Polish special character) with right alt+e, InDesign opens Export dialog.
Please, remove the Export dialog in this particular situation, this is super annoying.

eyedropper tool
Since 19.4 the eyedropper tool doesn't work as it should for at least picking up a character style and 'paste' its character style onto one or more words. This is when no text is selected.
When text IS selected, I can pick up a character style from some text that is styled like I want it to, and 'paste' it onto one or more other consecutive words, but not for a second time onto some other (string of) words. So only once useful. Which makes it unusable for this purpose.1 vote -
typografische Anführungszeichen-Funktion funktioniert bei einer Datei plötzlich nicht mehr
Problem: Plötzlicher Ausfall der korrekten typografischen Anführungszeichen
Guten Tag,
ich arbeite mit dem aktuellen InDesign unter Ventura.
Bei einer Datei, an der ich seit Tagen arbeite, funktioniert plötzlich die voreingestellte Funktion der automatisch korrigierten typografischen Anführungszeichen. Es werden nur noch US-Zoll-Zeichen erstellt.
Programm-Neustart sowie Rechner-Neustart helfen nicht.
Auch speichern als idml und Wiederherstellung daraus brachte keinen Erfolg.
Bei anderen, sehr ähnlichen erstellten Dateien sowie bei neuen Dokumenten funktioniert es einwandfrei.
Schließlich habe ich einen Work-Around verwendet: Im Miniatur-Modus das gesamte Dokument in eine jüngere Datei kopiert: Alles geht wieder.
Meine Frage: Was hätte ich noch (Einfacheres?) tun können? In welcher…1 vote -
Why can't the "cell style" control the height of the line in the table?
Why can't the "cell style" control the height of the line in the table?
If the "cell style" can control the height of the line, it will definitely save a lot of unnecessary operations. I wonder why it should be set manually?2 votes -
Adding words to Thai User Dictionary does not add whole word recognition
In Thai, you can add a word with or without hyphenation to the Thai language User Dictionary and that word does not become recognized as a whole word. If you double click on the word, it will still only highlight parts of the word that it recognizes as forming a word (leaving the rest of the added word not selected).
This leads to hyphenation problems because if InDesign still sees the word in three parts then it will break the word into those parts without recognizing the need to hyphenate the word.
So there needs to be a way for…
