Mysterious page breaks
Through several InDesign versions there is a problem with unintended page/column breaks. The bug is discussed in this forum thread:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/trouble-with-quot-mystery-quot-page-breaks-in-indesign/m-p/10838596
The workaround to remove Keep options and Balance ragged lines isn't a good one, I really need those options in a lot of my styles.
Sometimes it's enough to type a space at the end of the paragraph before the mysterious break for everything to pop back. This bug is a huge problem in collaboration with our InCopy clients who are not experienced users.
The bug is currently frequently encountered in both ID 17.4 and 18.0, but have been…2 votes -
Paste with Formatting Button Obscures Text
The new button to paste with or without text formatting is positioned so it covers up punctuation at the end of the text. This is a problem because you can't tell if the punctuation is correct and present unless you deselect, press Esc, etc. The button should be positioned lower, like the old OpenType button so all the text and punctuation can be clearly seen.

Font menu doesn't jump to the selected font in the list when font menu preview is enabled
Pre-Indesign 18.0 when accessing the font menu it jumps to the position in the list of the current font.
The same action in indesign 18.0 - the current font is selected in the Recent Fonts section as the top of the list. This is quite annoying.
If Front Preview is disabled in preferences, the pre-18.0 behaviour is the result, but of course there is then no preview.
EDIT: I set Type preferences - Number of recent font to display = 0 which has resolved my issue.

Table Fault
Please, please, resolve this.
- Indesign version 18 (2023)
- Issue: Create a two column text frame, or as many you want, and fill with text. For illustration purposes, create a table in the middle of the text frame. Span the table across both columns. Exaggerate the table spacing, to 25 pts before and after.
- Expected Result: The text in both columns of the text frame, in accordance with the table spacing, should be (i) equal on both sides of the two columns (ii) the text flow before the table should stop, and the text should continue again after the table. The…

Pasting Word tracked changes text keeps the old text as well as changes
When 'Text Only' is selected in Preferences/Clipboard Handling, pasting from a Word doc that has tracked changes results in the old edits (such as deletions) being retained in the pasted text in InDesign.
If this isn't a bug, perhaps there's a way to make these ramifications more obvious to the user.

UK spell check not recognising US spellings as incorrect
UK spell check not recognising US spellings as incorrect.
e.g the word 'customize' appears in the story. In UK English this would be 'customise'. The spell checker should recognise this as incorrect, but does not.
Spell check language has been set to UK English.

case
I am using Roboto condensed regular to write foreword for a booklet. I just wonder why I the font type is capitalised in case in default, and I cannot change it to lower case. I have tried Type > Change Case, but it doesn't work.

.CSV files cannot be placed to INDD 18.00
After updating to Indesign version 18.0, we cannot insert .csv files. We have tried different settings. So far it worked. The content does not appear in the data merge palette. When opening old files from previous version, it is not functional. In the old version inserting and original files already created works.

InDesign 18.0, textformat with bullet/numbering in tables/Textformatierung mit Nummerierung in Tabellen
- InDesign 18.0
- In table cells we put the € sign with an eighth-fourth as numbering in a paragraph format, so we don't need to type in the € sign every time. Since InDesign 18.0 the text disapears (column 1) when inserting a new text (price), as if the column seems to be too narrow. When converting the numbering into text (column 2) the text appears again. With the numbering function in it you cannot make the column smaller. There ist always a big space before the text (or after when left-aligned) (column 3).

17.3からルビが振れない
17.2.1まではテキストボックスに流したテキストに問題なくルビがふれてましたが17.3以降新規作成したテキストボックに対してルビ情報が反映されません。
17.2.1で使っていた書類を17.3と18で開いたところルビは問題なく表示出来ていてます。
しかし、その書類に新たにテキストボックスを作るとそのボックスにはルビが打てません。17.3で新規書類を作りそこに17.2.1でルビが表示されてるテキストボックスをコピーして新規書類にペーストするとルビが振れます。
18でも同様のようです。改善を望みます。

InDesign 2023 (18.0)
When attempting to switch the font family, the font menu jumps all the way to the top of the list instead of moving up to the previous font family in the list.
Hack solution: If you choose a different weight and then attempt to change the font family, the font menu works correctly and doesn't jump to the top.
This makes 2023 unusable, downgrading until fixed.

Capitalisation of letters b and i triggering the command prompt to bold and italicise copy
Issue being experienced on Adobe InDesign 2023 version 17.4 (and previous version), using MacOS Monterey v12.6.
When using shift + b or shift + i commands in indesign to create capital B or capital I, the command is instead acting as I would expect if I were to key in CMD + B or CMD + I in Microsoft or code - it is changing the font to 'Semibold' (shift + B) and 'Book italic' (shift + I) and not capitalising the letter.
The issue can be replicated reliably across all fonts loaded.
Please can this be investigated?

Bug: Find/Change of conditional text partially bad
Version: Indesign 17.x, Windows 10
Description: Find/Change dialog cannot find a text that has two or more conditions set when you select one of these to find.
Step to reproduce:
1. Write some text and mark a word.
2. Create two conditions, A and B, and assign them to that word. Exit edit mode.
3. Open Find/Change and set the filter in "Conditions" to find condition A only.
Result: Indesign cannot find a match. Logical bug.P. S. I wanted to add an INDD to demonstrate, but software says it's not allowed
