em dash
InDesign treats two words separated by an em dash as a single word when applying styles. For example, if you create a paragraph style which includes a nested style to set the first three words of the paragraph in small caps, InDesign will set the first four words in small caps if the first three words include an em dash.
An em dash should be treated as punctuation, not a connector. Words separated by an em dash are are separate words and should be treated as such.

Serious GREP style bug: ampersands
Hi, InDesign team.
I've run into a serious bug with GREP styles. Any GREP expression containing an ampersand character that is entered as a GREP style in a paragraph style will suddenly acquire additional ampersands whenever I scroll through the list of GREP styles.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Create a simple GREP style as part of a paragraph style.
The entire GREP expression should consist of the single character &. (Though this also happens when the & is part of longer expressions.)
Make enough other GREP styles that you need to scroll in the window to see them all.

Nested styles no longer working.
InDesign 2021
Used to be able to set a nested style up to or through any specific character (for example a : . Now that option is not working any more. Can only select from the drop down menu. Can work around with a grep style but it's not as easy to get it right.

While using InDesign Border Features to format box items, there is an option to Merge consecutive Border and Shading with same setting in paragraph style. This is working for text and Images. But when inline table comes in between, border is not extending for tables.Actual result

nested style bug
InDesign 16.0 and 16.0.1
Mac OS 11.1.1I am struggling with adding a custom character to the 4th column of the nested style definition. I can pull down the menu to access the presets, but when I want to add a custom character (like Opt+8 for a bullet) it's not working as expected.
If I'm persistent, I can type it in sometimes, and sometimes it takes it but still shows the first menu item (Word).
This is happening in multiple documents. I have reset preferences and installed 16.0.1, with the same result.

Style "based on" another doesn't inherit Export Tag settings
When a paragraph style (or character style) is created that is based on an existing one, Export Tagging attributes should be inherited just like all the other attributes are - that one category of settings seems to have been overlooked in the code. You can see screenshots and my example use case at: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/style-quot-based-on-quot-another-doesn-t-inherit-export-tag-settings/m-p/11981317

Character style has trouble spanning more than one line
It used to be that InDesign had no trouble when a character style ran more than one line. From some time, including InDesign 16.2.1, if a character style is applied to a string of text that starts on one line and continues to the next line, for example the last few words on a line and the first few words on the next line, InDesign will force all the text with that Character Style onto the next line, and space on the text on the previous line to span the entire line.
However, if you don't use a Character Style…1 vote -

Character Styles do not honor symbols
I can not use the Find/Replace feature to globally assign a character style to a symbol (+, *, etc.). Tech Supp tells me only text can accept the character style assignment. It would be very helpful if you could fix this. I had pages of graduates to assign honors levels to using symbols and mosta of them had to be handled manually

Allow importing of styles from CC library to application, not just to document
There needs to be a way to import styles from our library into InDesign itself, not into a document. You allow us to import swatches this way, so why not styles?
I have lots of default styles/swatches, which I created with no document open so they are applied to every new document I make. I got a new computer, so I added all of these styles to my library with hopes that I could import them all again.
Nope.
ID lets you add swatches from your library to the app, but as far as styles go you need to have…

InDesign 16.1 - nested styles read line break as Paragraph return.
If I place a shift-return in a paragraph with a nested style, the program reads it as a paragraph return and behaves as if the new line is an new paragraph, adding the starting nested style to the new line.

Underline disappears when paragraph shading is used I have a paragraph style for text that needs shading and a character style for text wit
Underline disappears when paragraph shading is used
I have a paragraph style for text that needs shading and a character style for text with a hyperlink. The underline disappeares when shading is used. This happens when the height of the shading of the next used paragraph style is touching the underline in the previous paragraph.
The text remains on top so I would expect that the underline (which is part of the text, in my opinion) should also stay on top.
Strikethrough is not being affected in this way so I use this as a workaround.Latest version of InDesign…
