  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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?

  5. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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?

  13. # 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…

  15. Hello^^ My downloaded ID program, I think, is missing some features or functions.

    Actually I think ID in my notebook is downloaded with a incomplete one. I'm a beginner of ID. But while I'm learning it through Youtube lecture, some functions are not active. The lecturer explains a certain function and that item on his ID is active. But on my ID that functions is displayed inactive, so that fucncition can not be selected. Please let me have a normal, complete ID in my notebook.

  17. 2-UP Vertical window mode creeps wider with every click

    1. Indesign 18.2.1.
    2. Open two documents and then select 2-UP vertical window mode
    3. I expect both windows to stay the same width that I have set when opening 2-UP vertical window mode.
    4. When using 2-UP vertical screen mode, the left hand window creeps wider by one pixel every time I click in the right hand window.

  18. Converted linked InDesign document saved in last used folder, not folder where it lives

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Have an InDesign document with a linked InDesign document. That linked document is saved by an older version.
    2. Open linked document by Alt-double clicking.
    3. Save file. You are now presented with the last used folder, not the folder that the linked document lives in.

    This USED to work fine.

  19. Words in placed document become bold after certain characters

    When we place text from a Word file, we always strip it of all existing layout. But for some reason there are some weird unicode characters that cause Indesign to make certain words bold... I'm not able to figure out why... you have a French text where a word starts with a e with an accent like ê and that word is suddely bold... even though in the Word file it isn't.

    This also happens with Italics... I once had a text that used transliteration for Ancient Egyptian that is in italic and often starts with a "Ankh" symbol: Ꜥ…

  20. Non-breaking hypens and column break in linked word file does not work in InDesign

    I have a word file linked to my InDesign document. However, it is not working as anticipated. Two examples:
    * non-breaking hyphens in the word document disappears in InDesign
    * manual column breaks in the word document becomes pages breaks in InDesign - I have tried to use a second text frame in the same page as a workaround, but the second frame remains empty (until moved to the next page).
