1. [ID-4261011] In Find/Change, search for font style (eg "Book") incorrectly selects "Regular" style text, even if "Book" style isn't present

   In InDesign 2021 (the latest version both on Mac and Windows), I add a text frame and fill it with placeholder text which is set, by default, to Minion Pro - Regular.
   Then I go to the find-change dialog box and set 'find format > basic character format > font style' to Book.
   And guess what happens when I hit the ‘find next’ button? It selects all the ‘regular text. (The document has no text with the 'book' font style applied!)
   Selecting another style — e.g. Bold, Italic, etc. — results, as expected, in the 'cannot find match' alert.
   Looks like a bug to me!
   The same problem occurs with GREP search as well.
   Also, other users reported me that it happens in CS6, CC 2017, 2019 and 2020.

2. Text formatting can break backlinking endnote texts to endnote refs when exported to PDF (Print)

   Hi together,
   to explain the issue:

   Sometimes backling from endnote text to endnote reference number will not work.

   To make it work at all I found the following minimum requirements for PDF export:

   PDF Export (Print)

   Compatibility: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)

   [x] Create Tagged PDF

   [x] Hyperlinks enabled

   Even with that sometimes only linking from the endnote reference number to the endnote text will work, but not backlinking from the endnote number in the endnote text to the reference in the main text.

   What I found:

   If you want linking back from the endnote number at the start of the endnote text you have to be careful with formatting of that endnote number which in fact is a special character.

   WHAT WORKED:

   The endnote is using a paragraph style without any specialities. No overrides, no character styles applied:

   RESULT: No issue with linking back and forth between endnote reference number and number in the endnote text.

   Now I had the idea to format that special character, the number that starts the endnote text with a character style.

   RESULT: Linking from the endnote reference number to the endnote text worked. BACKLINKING DID NOT WORK.

   Endnotes not exporting with links to PDF

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/endnotes-not-exporting-with-links-to-pdf/m-p/11628643#M40546...

   WHAT BROKE THE BACKLINKING:

   [1] Character style applied through a GREP Style

   [2] Character style applied directly as formatting

   [3] Properties directly applied as overrides without a character style

   WHAT FINALLY WORKED:

   [4] Character style applied as nested style through the applied paragraph style:

   Character style to 1 tabulator character

   I did not test on to eliminate other factors.

   Maybe one of the used properties are the real culprit?

   What I defined in that character style and also tried to apply as character override was:

   Character width and height: 70%

   Baseline Offset: 2 Pt

   Fill Color: "C=100 M=0 Y=0 K=0"

4. GREP search failed to match all text in a story

   We use to be able to search all text in a story by using this (?s).+ code. It’s working fine in CS6. But in CC2019, 2020, and 2021 on both Mac and Windows it will fail to select all text in the story if there is more than ~ 50000 character. Only the first ~ 50000 will be selected.

   This might be related to an old bug that was introduced in 14.0.2 that was fixed in 14.0.3.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Create a document with one story containing more than 50000 characters
   2. Do a GREP Find using (?s).+

   A similar issues when trying to use \X+ to select all text in a story. Only some portions of the text over multiple of ~ 50000 text will be selected.

6. [ID-4222280] GREP position marker "^" = Beginning of Paragraph (not beginning of a new line after a forced line break)

   Dear Support,

   with the GREP position marker "^" for "Beginning of Paragraph", the GREP-search should consider the position of the beginning of a paragraph.
   But this marker does not only recognize the beginning of a paragraph, but also the beginning of a new line after a forced line break (SHIFT-RETURN).

   This is not correct: A forced new line is not the beginning of a paragraph.
   The only correct way would be to consider the beginning of a paragraph (RETURN).

   Sometimes you can use "(?=\r)\w+" to look for a word behind a Return instead of "^\w+" to find only the hits at the beginning of a paragraph. However, a combination with the search for a paragraph format can be disturbing here: with the lookbehind combined with a paragraph style only those places are found, where two consecutive paragraphs have the same paragraph style.

   Please correct the effect of ^ to only beginning of paragraph (and not forced line break).

7. [ID-4224416]PDF comments: Delete <FEFF> marker after removal of all comments

   After choosing »Delete all comments« from the fly-out menu of the PDF comments panel at every position, where a comment was before the removal, a <FEFF> char is left behind, which shows up as a zero-width colon (:), when special characters are turned on.

   Since this is a useless char after deleting the comments, the <FEFF> should also be removed, when selecting the removal in the fly-out.

   <FEFF> shows up with XML tags, notes and index markers, so we can’t simply do a TEXT search for <FEFF> to remove it.
   BTW:
   \x{feff} doesn’t work in GREP search, which is kind of strange ...

8. BUG (since CS6!): Nonbreaking Space (^S) Issue with World-Ready-Composer

   Issue:
   When using the ›World-Ready Composer‹, the character ›Nonbreaking Space‹ (^S) behaves exactly like the character ›Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width)‹ (^s); i.e.: in justified paragraphs, its width does not adjust (like regular spaces do), but it is fixed and unchanging.
   This only occurs with the ›Adobe World-Ready Composer‹ (both ›Paragraph‹ and ›Single-line‹) and not with the regular ›Adobe Composer‹ (neither ›Paragraph‹ nor ›Single-line‹).
   It is not related to the font used, it has been tested with many different fonts.

   1. Versions with this bug, tested and confirmed by myself or colleagues:
      InDesign (Standard Version) CS6, CC2015.0
      InDesign (Middle Eastern Version) CC2020 (15.1.2), CC2021 (16.0)
      I suppose it occurs in all versions since CS6 (when the ›World-Ready Composer‹ was first introduced, afaik)!

   2. Steps to reproduce this issue
      Enter a few lines of text and insert the character ›Nonbreaking Space‹ somewhere. Choose any of the ›Justify‹ paragraph styles and select the ›World-Ready Composer‹. Switch to the regular ›Adobe Composer‹ with the same setup and compare the result.

   3. Expected Result:
      The ›Nonbreaking Space‹ should adjust its width just like any other of the regular spaces.

   4. Actual Result:
      The ›Nonbreaking Space‹ does not adjust its width.

   5. Example as Screenshot attached.
      (Menu is in German: ›Globaler Adobe-Absatzsetzer‹ = ›Adobe World-Ready Composer‹; ›Adobe-Absatzsetzer‹ = ›Adobe Composer‹)

   As far as I know, this issue has been reported only once before (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/39403822-non-breaking-space-is-smaller-than-regular-space-w). But in this report, it is stated incorrectly that the Nonbreaking Space would be smaller than a regular space. It can, in fact, be larger as well (e.g. in a tight line with regular spaces smaller than their 100% optimum). The real nature of the issue is that it does not vary its size.

   PLEASE FIX ASAP!
   Thanks

10. Serious GREP style bug: ampersands

    Hi, InDesign team.

    I've run into a serious bug with GREP styles. Any GREP expression containing an ampersand character that is entered as a GREP style in a paragraph style will suddenly acquire additional ampersands whenever I scroll through the list of GREP styles.

    STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

    Create a simple GREP style as part of a paragraph style.
    The entire GREP expression should consist of the single character &. (Though this also happens when the & is part of longer expressions.)
    Make enough other GREP styles that you need to scroll in the window to see them all.
    Close the paragraph style window and reopen it.
    Scroll through the list of GREP styles.
    When you scroll, you will see that "&" has become "&&."

    HERE ARE OTHER DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS ISSUE:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/ampersand-gets-doubled-in-grep-style/td-p/10329693?page=1

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/self-propagating-ampersands-in-grep-in-a-paragragh-style/td-p/5881764?page=1

    https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/36196819-paragraph-style-grep-functions-are-unreliable

    I believe I have gotten around the bug by using the Unicode value for an ampersand, but this is not ideal. I need to be able to trust that the GREP style implementation is solid.

    Thank you.

11. Endnotes are tagged incorrectly when exporting to Accessible PDF from InDesign 2021

    In InDesign 2021, endnotes are not nested inside of a <Note> tag like they should be. Now only the Endnote number is in a <Note> tag and everything else is in a <P> tag. Normal behavior is to put each Endnote in its entirety within a <Note> tag. In addition, for several versions Endnotes and Footnotes are in a <Note> tag but then there's a <P> tag within the <Note> tag. The <P> tag is unnecessary and causes an error when trying to validate Accessible PDF. Please remove the <P> tag within <Note> tags when exporting to tagged PDF.

12. Drop shadow in exported PDF is a different size

    Certain drop shadows have a different size when they appear in an exported PDF.

    In the attached example, the black shapes each have a drop shadow effect in yellow. When exported, the shadows appear shorter and narrower. The difference is approximately 20 pt narrower and 1 pt shorter. (Note the difference in proportion of the yellow drop shadow and black shape in the screenshots.) I've also included the drop shadow effect attributes.

    This occurs with multiple PDF export settings including the default [High Quality Print]. I am able to reproduce this behavior in both InDesign versions 15.1.2 and 16.0.

13. Translation bug : Spread -> Grossi instead of Planche (in french)

    1. Click on publish online button Single Page is well translated as "Un(e) seul(e)" (page) Spread is wrongly translated as "Grossi" Grossi means bigger (or what we had with trapping : spreading inks, so making ink marks bigger) Planche which has been the accepted term in inDesign for ages.

15. [ID-4261000]Hebrew Text with Vowel Points Reorders Incorrectly When Pasted from InDesign to Word

    When keying (or importing) Hebrew text, InDesign often misplaces vowel points when two or more vowel points are attached to a single base character unless the base character and vowel points are keyed in a specific order. I don't totally understand it, but it has something to do with Unicode normalization. Microsoft Word gets around this problem, but I can't say how. It would be nice, however, if InDesign could get around it, too.

    One Hebrew font, SBL Hebrew, has written Unicode features (?) to prevent the normalization problem, but most fonts cannot do this on their own in InDesign. Times New Roman, for example, sets fine in Word, but the same file in InDesign shows vowel points displaced. The user guide for SBL Hebrew (available easily online) explains the problem better than I can.

    Thanks for considering addressing this behavior.

16. Slow performance - spinning wheel - AdobeFnt22.lst

    Hi Adobe, we are still having major issues with a lot of spinning wheels in InDesign version 15.1.1. because of the AdobeFnt22.lst files that are created with every document. Basically when we open a document it resyncs/updates the AdobeFnt22.lst file of every document that was previously worked from that Mac. This is causing a lot of network traffic and spinning wheels in InDesign. The problem is fixed if we restart the Mac or rename the "Document fonts" folder so that InDesign no longer uses the fonts so does not create an "AdobeFnt.lst" file. Can you please sort this out, it is killing our production, some of our designers are reverting back to using QuarkXpress

18. [ID-4250752][MAC]Page numbers cut-off in Page panel when viewing in Horizontal mode

    Currently on Mac OS Big Sur using inDesign 16.1

    When viewing the pages panel in horizontal view and the page count exceeds what the panel can hold the scroll bars appear but then the last row of pages seem to have their page numbers hidden behind the UI and are not visible no matter how much you move the scroll bars down.

    I have seen this behavior since inDesign 15 on Mac OS Catalina.

20. PDF issue with WorkSans variable font

    I'm getting a strange issue with the WorkSans static variable font when exporting a PDF. The font is from Google Fonts -- https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Work+Sans. The weight in the attached example is WorkSans Black. A strange overlap issue is happening in the crossbar of the A. The issue only seems to be occurring in that letterform. The only way I can seem to resolve this is by converting the font to outlines in InDesign, which is not ideal.
