[ID-4257734]When you place an object with ‘Corner Options’ and ‘Text Wrap (Wrap around object shape)’ on a frame, the text moves.
Checked on Windows 10 Japanese version, InDesign CS5 to CC2024
1.Create a new document
2.Create a frame grid with the Horizontal Grid Tool
3.Insert a few line breaks at the beginning and assign sample text
4.Draw a rectangle with the Rectangle Tool
5.Set the shape in Corner Options to anything other than ‘None’
6.Set the text wrap to ‘Wrap around object shape’
7.When the drawn rectangle is placed on the frame, it is pushed out by one characterIt’s strange that the text moves even though the rectangle is not placed on top of the text.
Conditions for the object…

bug déplacement des objets dans In Design version 20.1
Je ne peux plus déplacer aucun bloc avec la souris ou le trackpad., qu'ils soient graphic ou texte.
Ni la fleche noir ni la fleche blanche, seulement avec les fleches du clavier
J'ai désactivé le "contenu vérouiller ajustement" dans le menu fichier et j'ai réinitaliser les préférences In Design mais cela ne marche pas mieux pour autant.
J'ai essayer dans Photoshop et je peux déplacer mes objets normalement

InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom
InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom. Typically, the mouse pointer should change to a drag icon to indicate this functionality, but this does not happen with InDesign, while it works normally with other applications.

Cannot move spreads
InDesign has started glitching; not allowing me to shuffle pages, and whilst attempting to move objects – they jump un-aligned to the cursor.
I have tried simply re-starting the machine, and I have uninstalled and re-installed the program, but the issue is persisting. Do you know if there is something else that I could attempt to try and fix the issue please?

Linhas
Gostaria que o indesign pudesse numerar linhas/paragrafos através da janela de estilos assim como tem os marcadores, e podendo definir de quantas em quantas linhas ele vá numerar, Acho que não seria algo difícil de fazer.

Adobe InDesign, 29.2: Last three spaces on justified page are blank and then the first three spaces on the next lone
Adobe InDesign, 29.2: Last three spaces on justified page are blank and then the first three spaces on the next line on the next page. Should I take out full justification and then restore afterwards? It's a 200 page book of prose.

1:1 print size zoom scale please !
Please add a feature to select/setup a 1:1 screen to print scale, so that the 100% zoom can display the document at "real life" output size. (both on computer and monitor, hence the need for a personalized setup for different monitors)
This could ideally be saved, the same way worskpaces can be saved.
Thank you !1 vote -
Rounded corners on rectangle get rounder every time the rectangle is clicked into
Sometimes when I click into and out of a rectangle, or click and move the rectangle, the rounded corner value goes up from 0.0625 to .1667. I am using about 30 identically sized rectangles on the page, and I would like them to have identically rounded corners.

Alignment Options Removed from Floating Panel in Latest InDesign
Is it possible that the latest version of InDesign removed the option to choose whether to align to objects or to the page from the floating Alignment panel? It was great that we could align via the top toolbar with page alignment selected while keeping object alignment in the floating panel, so we didn’t have to constantly switch between the two modes.

adobe communicating across screen withs images
For some reason whnever indesign opens it opens super huge (I have 3 screens) and across all the screens and I always try and make it smaller but I cant even reach the bottom and its super frustrating because for some reason it communicates across my screens so when I move an image IN INDESIGN it moves it onto the desktop of the screen over? I think its got something to do with how big indesign always opens but like how does it even do that??

Inversed Rounded Corners Don't Match on All Sides
When using the Inverse Rounded Corners in Corner Options, the corner shape doesn't match another box right next to it with the same settings when side by side. So when 2 boxes with the same corner options are next to each other it doesn't make a circle in the empty space but rather an angled rounded rectangle. It seems the top left and bottom right are one way and the top right and bottom left are another. It doesn't matter if the boxes are the same size or different. This issue was present in both InDesign 2020 and 2024 versions…

Text and picture boxes flash white when selecting and moving
This is a problem I’ve been experiencing for some time and it’s still present in the latest version I’ve updated to.
Whenever I select any item on the page - a picture box or text box - and I drag to another position, the item flashes white for a frame as I move it. This occurs whether I move the item with or without holding down the Shift key. It is only the item that flashes, not the rest of the page, but if I am moving a large shape or the background image, it becomes uncomfortable to the eye.

The new Text Wrap is missing all the adjustment options
There are no adjustment options available in the 2024 version of Indesign. There are only preset options that can't be adjusted up or down in size or amount of wrapping.

Damaged capitals
In Design 19.3 x64
After pouring in an editable file (MS Word 2010), where the capitals were in the footnotes in the names of the author(s) and editor(s) the capitals did not include the last letter of the last name or the last two letters.
Earlier versions (3-4 updates) worked fine.
Selecting the author's name and including capitals does not help. Further the last letter (or two) are not capitals. You have to mark the name and a comma (sometimes even a space) to make the full name capitals.
It takes more time, more attention to correct all the footnotes.…2 votes -
If the two text boxes are connected, how does the footnote restart from ①
I have a book that needs to be typeset that is single-column and contains footnotes, but the footnotes start at ① for each article.
I don't want to go through and break up each article. I'd like to typeset it in just one text box, but it seems like the footnotes can only be connected.
Is there any solution to this?
It would be nice if it could be split by "page breaks(~P)" or "frame breaks(~R)" or "column breaks(~M)".
