  2. When adding v-Card information for generating a business card QR code - Incorrect Title for email

    When adding v-Card information for generating a business card QR code the email line comes up as work instead of email when the QR code is scanned and a window opens up on a mobile device. The category above on the form in InDesign states that the word "email" should appear above the contacts email. This is a needed fix noticed.

  4. non-breaking space creating strange character

    Non-breaking spaces have suddenly started turning into strange horizontal apostrophes in a document - see attached image, the character between Ex and Libris. The only way to rectify has been to use a fixed width non-breaking space instead. Major headache!

  5. unleserliche Dateinamen

    Hallo,

    seit kurzer Zeit werden einige Dateinamen auf der InDesign Startseite unleserlich dargestellt, als ob mehrere Namen übereinander stünden. Es tritt sporadisch auf. Ich kann den Fehler nicht konsistent reproduzieren.

  7. variable font bugging out in InDesign

    I am using General Sans variable font in Indesign which has not stopped working properly after packaging the document and prepping it to print.

    Some areas of the font are showing as Italics even though they are not and should not be and there is no way to change them.

    After researching it looks like variable fonts are not ready to be used in all Adobe programs for a seamless process.

  8. anchored object ignores textwrap of the first line

    When anchoring an Object in a text and selecting the object to wrap around the text, the first line ignores this command.
    When searching for a solution, i stumbled upon this entry describing the problem.

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/anchoring-an-image-does-not-make-the-first-line-respect-the-wrapping-text/m-p/11572999

    the only solution seems to be to anchor the text in a previous line.
    However, I want my textanchor to be on the right spot, so a screenreader can read it correctly - so anchoring it one line above is no option for me.
    Is there a fix to this problem?

  9. Presentation Mode RESETS window dimensions

    Presentation Mode RESETS the window dimensions (Adobe 18.4)

    Version 17.x was supposed to have a fix for this, but I am on 18.x, just updated to 18.4 and this issue is still on this version. Very annoying.

  10. Copy & paste within a numbered list can cause wrong numbering

    If you create a numbered list which runs over 2 or more columns and copy some text within the list from one paragraph to another the numbering changes. In my example you have 2 times 1 in the list.

    To make it even more crazy this only happens when you use the Adobe Single-line composer. If you work with the Adobe ParagraphComposer there's no problem at all.

    If you change the text frame from 2 columns to 1 column and back the error disappears as well.

  14. objects in a page disappear when reapplying master page to that page

    INDD v18.2.1
    this is a new bug in CC

    On a page, when re-applying the same master page (e.g parent A) to it, all text frame box will disappear. Why do I wanna reapply the same master page to it? Because sometimes the text box is moved by accident, so I re-apply the master page so that it will go back to the original position. It used to work in order versions of INDD. Not anymore.

    Is this a bug or a feature that no longer exist? Please fix. thank you.

  15. RTL options dissappeared in Indesign 18.3

    Indesign 18.3 - Hebrew support edition.

    Steps to reproduce the issues: Choose a text box, and try to set RTL. THERE IS NO RTL button! (Indesign 17.x had RTL and LTR buttons. But after upgrade to Indesign 18.3 - the RTL button dissappeared!)

    Expected result: Should have RTL buttons just like Indesign 17.x

    Actual result: Missing RTL buttons.

  16. The shortcut for Bridge opens Bridge every day, repeatedly by mistake. Can it be altered?

    It's kind of a bug since it opens when I don't want it to, so I placed my question here. As I type, every day I open Bridge by mistake. Can I change the shortcut, or disable it, and how do I even find it?

    As far as a bug alert, could Adobe change the default shortcut to Bridge, so it doesn't open 10 or more times a day as book editors like me edit text for 8 hours. I don't even know what I am typing incorrectly to open Bridge.

  17. Why can't InDesign import and edit pdfs or images without plug in

    When I try to import pdf or jpeg into Adobe InDesign 2023 desktop it says required plug in is missing. Since I am paying monthly for the full 2023 version why do I need a plug in? I am on older computer that uses Windows 10. Will I have this problem if I upgrade my computer?

  18. # in URLs of Hyperlinks in Hyperlinks panel is substituted with %23 when opened in browser from panel

    Hi together,
    when working with hyperlinks with URL destination an URL like:

    https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/HTML/Elemente/a#Siehe_auch

    will not be transferred to the browser as is when the menu command "Go to Destination" is used or if the "green" bullet in the panel is clicked that indicates a correct and connectable hyperlink destination.

    Instead character # will be substituted with %23 like that:

    https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/HTML/Elemente/a%23Siehe_auch

    The implication could be two-fold:
    [1] The browser could show an 404 error
    [2] The browser could not navigate to the named anchor and the view of the page is showing the top part of the page.

    The URL above…

  19. Links panel doesn't honor Section prefix

    1. 18.2.1 x64 Windows 10
    2. Using the pages panel dropdown menu, select "Numbering & Section Options" and then use the flyout to start a new section with page numbering starting at 1 and adding a section prefix. Select the "Include Prefix when Numbering Pages" option. Make a change to something that has been placed on one of the pages that includes a Section prefix. The links panel will show that one of your links needs to be updated, but it will show that the link is located on a page number without the prefix. Clicking on the page number takes you…
