Grep Style at end of Frame Does NOT Map to XML or Show the Style is Applied
Have text lines in a contents like this, where the space is a tab:
DENTITION 287
INDEX 299The paragraph style uses these two GREP style lines to apply a character style that changes the point size of the number to 8.5 pt.
\t[ivxclm0123456789]+[\r\n]+
\t[ivxclm0123456789]+\zWhen the text line is at the end of a frame the number is formatted correctly per the character style at 8.5pt, but when the number is selected InDesign shows the wrong size in the menus, unlike the other numbers NOT at the end of the frame, which shows the point size the number actually…

Border style bottom is being applied twice to the same text.
This is a message for all the adobe indesign programmers, before adding new features can you at least fix all the bugs in this program!
I use the border feature a lot but lately it's been bugger than usual. I have a piece of text that has a border right and bottom. Under it I have another piece of text with the same settings and both have merge borders turned on. Please look at screenshot and tell him what the **** is going on! There is only 2 blocks of text but it's giving me 4 borders!

Override to Character Style Gets Removed
File from a client had a character style on a phrase making the phrase Italic. They then overrode part of the phrase with the character style back to Regular.
When a different paragraph style is applied (WITHOUT telling InDesign to remove overrides) the override within the character style goes away, reverting the overridden text back to the character style.
The problem seems to only occur when the font style of the new paragraph style being applied MATCHES the override that's applied.
I.e., overriding to Bold, then applying the a new paragraph style that is Bold, removes the override. BUT overriding…

Paragraph Border rendering is filled in black -- randomly.
For two years now, paragraphs with double lines and a fill between the lines render as solid black randomly when building PDF output for printing. It's usually the first paragraph border that is rendered incorrectly, and if the PDF is recreated again and again, eventually an error-free PDF is produced.
See attached screencap.

Shadow Style
Would it be possible to create a shadow style? It would be really helpful to be able to create the shadow you need, and then to be able to quickly apply it across a document(s).

Character style changing while using grep

I have used the below:
Find What:
^ ·\t(.+)$
Change to:
$1
Change Format:
Bullet_Txt (paragraph style)
Required Action:
Need to implement the paragraph style at the as-well-as eliminate the bullet with tab.
When I replace by option "change" one by one all the instances change clearly
While using "change All" option, the initial letter of roman word followed by italic word changes to italics vice versa.

InDesign CC2023 forces paragraph in overset
Since the update to InDesign v18.0 (CC2023) the first line of a Paragraph with custom Bullet (Numbering) text, gets forced in overset when the first word is longer than 8-9 characters. They don't flow to the next paragraph and there is still enough space to keep the word in the Text Frame.
In the example you'll see two Text Frames with one with the word "Duurzaamheid" cut in two and the second in overset with no space between "Duur" and "zaamheid" wich forces everything in overset. In InDesign 17.4 everything works as desired. Uploading an InDesign-file was not possible so…6 votesFix for this issue is now available in the latest release of InDesign 2023 - that is, InDesign 18.1 version.
Please update to this version of InDesign to get the fix.

Automatic paragraph numbering resulting in different numbers in InDesign and InCopy
I have a document with one assignment containing multiple linked textboxes. On one page I have two individual textboxes above each other. Both boxes start with a headline styled with the same paragraph style that has numbering turned on with the mode Continue from Previous …, both paragraphs are in the default list and both textboxes are linked to the same assignment.
In InDesign everything is displayed as you would expect, the first textbox starts with I and the second with II. In InCopy, it is reversed even though the content is up-to-date, not checked in, etc.

Clustered QR Code
The QR codes are very clustered making them nearly impossible to scan. It would be helpful to have a QR Styles option or more options for editing the density of the QR code. It would also be great to have ability to add a Logo or image to the center of a QR code.

optical margin alignment
Optical Margin Alignment does not work in a tabbed hanging indent, but it should. In the examples provided I want the copy quotes to be offset by the optical margin alignment, but they are counted as a character and disrupt the look of the hanging indent (example 01). If I move the hanging indent to the right side of the quotes it fixes the problem for the current paragraph, but the next paragraph aligns with the tab and quote, not with the above hanging paragraph (example 02).
