1. inDesign screen flashing on M2 Mac mini

   InDesign screen flashing on M2 Mac mini.

   The screen flashed when selecting text, moving objects, using marque select.
   Turning off rulers helps a lot. I've read that turning on/off GPU performance will solve this issue. The option is grayed out within inDesign but is available on Illustrator and Photoshop.

   inDesign version: 19.0.1
   OS version: Sanoma 14.1.1
   Mac mini M2

2. [ID-4255452] Text variables with modification date not working when saved to Cloud.

   I created a text variable to update the date when the document is modified. When I opened my document in the beta version of InDesign, the text frame for my text variable was empty. I tried to re-enter the variable, and I tried making a new variable. When I selected a variable that included the current date, it would not appear. I created a Modification Date text variable and a custom text variable based on the Modification date. They appeared correctly. I saved the InDesign doc to the cloud. Once I applied a paragraph style, the text disappeared in both boxes.

3. 'Text style' (Character/Paragraph) Drop Down Visual Bug

   Adobe InDesign 19.4, Apple M3 Max, Sonoma 14.4 and 14.5 (at least).

   'Text Style' drop downs for character and paragraph show persistent white box, without any of the styles showing. White box blocks UI actions below.

   Occurs randomly, resolves randomly. Restart not guaranteed to fix the issue.

   Expected result: The drop down displays the relevant text styles...
   Actual result: Empty white box...

4. HarfBuzz introduced in v2024 is not honouring the spacings properly

   Harfbaaz text engine is not taking care of spacings properly specially when using Arabic or Urdu script. Files attached before and after. Without harfbaaz, settings look more natural. On tweaking the settings further does not make much difference.

5. InDesign 2024 regression: Text variable rendering breaks Google barcode font

   A sequence of numbers rendered in Google's "Libre Barcode EAN13 Text" font will not work if the text is inserted via a text variable. Entering the text verbatim with the same paragraph style produces the expected result.

   This is a regression in InDesign 2024. The attached IDML file works fine in InDesign 2023 v18.5 but not in InDesign 2024 v19.3.0.58.

   The font can be found at https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Libre+Barcode+EAN13+Text.

   (Sorry for the .idml.txt extension for the test case – this form won't let me submit .idml, .indd or .zip attachments directly.)

6. Main view not redrawn when mouse zooming until mouse is moved

   After I updated to MacOs 14.4, I got this weird bug when zooming pages using Opt+mouse scroll wheel. I can see the vertical and horizontal scroll bar sizes changes as I am zooming, but the main view is not updated. The moment I move my mouse, the main view also get updated. This is very frustrating, because I cannot see the size while I am zooming. This worked fine in MacOs 14.2.

   To reproduce the bug:

   Zooming seems to work initially when opening a document, and the error seems sometimes to be triggered if I Space+drag when I have the mouse pointer on (positioned on) one of the pages. If I have the cursor outside any page (in the grey area) while initiating a Space+drag the issue sometimes magically goes away until I Space+drag with cursor positioned on one of the pages again. I can turn the bug on/off by doing this. Sometimes is also seems to matter if I zoom with the cursor inside or outside the pages.

   Running InDesign 19.2 on MacOs Sonoma 14.4 on a Mac Studio M2. GPU is not enabled.

7. Text justification algorithm is *really* sloppy.

   When the justification is set to "justified," when I add or delete text, text moves down from previous lines, making those earlier lines look really stretched out with huge spaces. This happens constantly. It looks really bad, and there's no logical reason for it.

   This happens whether "Hyphenate" is on or off.

   Each line of text should always hold as many words as it can hold (without shrinking anything to fit). What happens on any later line should never cause any change in previous lines.

   I'm using InDesign v. 19.3 x64 in Windows.

9. Crash on object state rename

   This happens to me regularly. With an object selected, I use the button for Convert selection to multi-state object from the Object States panel. If I then try to rename the states, InDesign immediately quits. Reopening InDesign takes me back to just before I created the MSO.

   I've learned to save immediately after creating MSOs and then rename states. That's my workaround. I thought it would be good to mention though, as it seems related to the old inability to rename states bug that was fixed.

   I'm using ID 19.4 on MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1

11. Problem Selecting Hebrew vowels and diacritics

    Windows 11
    Indesign 19 x64

    Problem Selecting Hebrew vowels and diacritics especially when there are Hebrew and English mixed in the paragraph, it seems like there is no visual distinction to determine what is being selected. This is so frustrating, and makes it impossible to use in the long run.

12. Design flaw and bug: empty table cells can have a font assigned

    Found in: ID 2022
    If you have a table and put text into a cell, the text has at least one font assigned. When removing the text again, the cell becomes empty but seems to keep the font assignment, which is illogical. No text, no font. Later, if you open the document on another PC which doesn't have that font would cause a missing font issue for no reason.

    Even worse: going into the "Find/replace font" dialog you can find the empty cell with the missing font, but you cannot fix it, because Change or Change all have no effect. The only way to change the font, because you cannot simply unassign, is to select the entire cell and set a font that is available . When you have, like, 100 empty cells it can be a very annoying job to do and might not be circumvented by selecting the entire table and setting the font when non-empty cells have several fonts assigned.

14. InDesign flashes white every time I click on a page

    When using InDesign, it flashes white every time I click on it. If I click and hold, the screen become completely white. This is very annoying, almost impossible to work. I cannot highlight anything or draw a marque without getting the white flashing. Even when I'm just moving around a page, it flashes. This is migraine-inducing.

    I have InDesign 18.5.1 and there are no updated available, I just checked. This has really slowed down my workflow. I know you closed the previous listing for this, but it's not fixed.

17. hyperlink removes style

    This is ID 19.4.

    Hello– I have a character style applied to some (but not all) of the text in a TOC (see Attachment 1). As a test, we'll consider the word BELFAST, which has this specific style applied to it: font Roboto Bold, size 10, leading 12, All Caps, PMS 5275 CMYK.

    However, when I use the 'Add Hyperlink' function to the entire text block (from BELFAST to the page #), the previously described style I have applied onto BELFAST is removed (see second attachment).

    The particular TOC I'm showing you is short so no biggie, but I have several of these books and some of the TOCs are quite long so this issue becomes tedious to correct.

    Is there a logical explanation for this, or a bug? Let me know if you need more details. Tx!
