Redefine style changes Grep Style
When redefining a style based on changes to an existing style (and that existing style has a GREP style in use), the style parameters of the style or grep style are changed. Whereas, if you edit a style directly and apply the same changes, the grep style is unaffected. See video.
1 voteIn the 1st case in your video, you have applied a local override to the Style by changing. That's why you see a + in the name of the Style. When you Redefine that Style, the overrides go away and the Style gets redefined with the new attributes.
However, in the 2nd case, you are Editing the Style directly by opening the Style dialog. So any changes you make in the dialog automatically becomes part of the Style itself and there is no need to Redefine it from the panel menu.
It is working correctly.

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…

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.

"Büyük/Küçük Harf Değiştir"
Sayın Adobe Yetkilisi,
ÖNERİ:
"Karakter stilleri" ve Paragraf stilleri" ayarlarında, "Büyük/Küçük Harf Değiştir" seçenekleri olmalı. Stillere verebileceğimiz "Büyük/Küçük Harf Değiştir" ayarları ile işimiz daha da kolaylaşacak.
Teşekkürler, iyi çalışmalar...

GREP Tab Issue
I created a GREP style to make Title Caps part of the style and I needed it to do this after a tab. That wouldn't work, but I got it work backwards.
An unexpected side effect is that when you copy and paste from the PDF I created, it makes every letter next to "T" also capitalized. It's treating the shortcode for tab "\t" like it's trying to hone in on "T" and also like tab. It looks fine until you copy and paste.

avoid incorrect sentence breaks
Hello, on your next in design update, I suggest an improvement that would be very useful for correct typographic formatting! For the formatting of a flagged text, it would be nice to be able to prevent line breaks before a two/three letter word, to avoid that the pronoun is separated from the subject (ex: "the" (line break) "house", to have "the house" on one line. I hope you will be able to add this feature, which I think is essential. Thanking you for your help
