1. InDesign Windows all over the shop

   I am currently using three screens for my work. Whenever I select a window from the menu, the flyouts appear in a hidden or hard-to-see location on any of my screens, usually in the bottom left corner. As a result, I can only see the header of the flyout, which becomes problematic when it is hidden behind other flyouts.

   In my opinion, when a window/flyout is selected from the menu, it should appear in the centre of the active screen and on top for easy visibility.

2. XML tags are not allowing inside Footnotes

   We are handling huge STM Books and Journals and following XML workflow. Some of our books and journals will have huge footnotes with contents coded with client provided DTD. When applying the XML tagging to footnote contents, InDesign showing a warning that it's not allowed (attached the screenshot for reference)

   Due to this limitation, we're handling the XML based footnotes with different approach and unable to utilize the benefits of usual footnotes features, which includes footnotes moving to next page when the footnote references are moving, flowing the part of footnotes into next page(s) when the contents are exceeding the pages, etc.

   Please start enhancing the footnote features by allowing the XML structure as well to the contents, will benefit us and across globe to handle InDesign smoothly

3. Can the panel only push to the right? This will exceed the screen on the right.

   Can the panel only push to the right? But when the panel is on the right, I hope to double -click the panel, and it will push left to the left, otherwise it will be beyond the right screen on the right.

   Perhaps, some people say that you can be close to the right edge, and naturally push away to the left.
   I know this, but this is not what I need.
   I need more flexible settings.

4. Hebrew drops out

   Hebrew text in the middle of a sentence is dropping out when exported to PDF. There have been several occurrences in this project, but I've never seen this before. In the example PDF, I have a Hebrew word followed by a makeshift ellipsis [nonbreaking space + . + 1/6 em space + . + 1/6 em space + . + space] followed by two more Hebrew words. A GREP style changes the Hebrew words from the base font (Arno) to Taamey David CLM. As is, the first Hebrew word drops out.

   If I move the first Hebrew word back to the end of the previous line, it exports correctly. If I change the font of the spaces and periods between the Hebrew words, it exports correctly.

   Changing the font for the Hebrew to Times New Roman does not correct the drop out. Removing the GREP and manually styling the Hebrew also does not correct the drop out.

   I've attached two PDFs. One shows a hole in the text where the Hebrew should be. The second—in which I've changed the font of the spaces and periods between the Hebrew words, shows the complete—correct export.

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   1. Version 18.4
   2. Key mixed-language sentence of English and Hebrew with a non-Hebrew string interrupting the Hebrew. (It may be a requirement that the Hebrew begins the second or later line in the paragraph; that seems to be part of the pattern, but I can't confirm that.) Export to PDF.
   3. All Hebrew and English should export in full.
   4. Part of Hebrew is missing.

6. Please fix tool panels going off screen

   Tool panels are an absolute nightmare in Indesign. The detection of, in which direction the panel should open is buggy. I have the Application Frame on my main screen and the tool panels all on my second screen. The setting panels never pop up into a direction where it's handy. They just go outside of the screen.

   Also, when having some tabs open and some collapsed, it's an absolute nightmare to open a different one. InDesign does not care about how big your screen is. It just makes the panel bigger and bigger and go out of your screen making it impossible to access the other ones, or even the one you wanted to open. You end up opening and closing or resizing your tool tabs over and over and over again. Have you never heard of scrolling?

9. About InCopy pop-over window unable to close

   In the process of looking up the InCopy version number for another bug report, I opened the About InCopy window. This opened on my second screen and will not clear. There is no exit button, ESC does nothing, clicking it does nothing, clicking the links changes the content of the box but doesn't open any other options, clicking away from the box sends it behind the current window but does not close it. I cannot use InCopy as it is unresponsive underneath this pop-over box. The box can be cleared by closing out of it in Alt+Tab gallery, but the program remains unresponsive. Windows, v19.3

10. Scroll bars and status bar disappear in InCopy

    InCopy scrollbars and status bar (page navigation) disappear and there doesn't seem to be an identifiable way of turning these back on. Working on a corporate device so cannot test the 'Run as administrator' fix that is suggested on another forum online.

    Scrollbars and status bars are available on start up but disappear if you use the zoom tools, the device sleeps, or if you are active in another window (e.g. a browser) for some time (not sure precisely how long). Closing and reopening the program fixes the issue, but it is irritating to have to check in all stories, close, reopen and restart the workflow just to be able to navigate the document. Switching between layout and galley/story view does not affect the issue. Windows, InCopy v19.3

11. Comment Feature is not working properly

    Working with InDesign comments is extremely unsatisfying. The interactions are super slow (this might be because of my file, but still. comments should be displayed quickly as they are not big in file size). The pins are fixed, while text that is about to be changed will change position.

    Also, not all comments are displayed or load really late. It's really confusing to figure out where they are and it's not possible to click a pin on the pages to view them.

    The feature is really important. InDesign is a proper software with an outdated UI.

12. Thai Launguage and Optical margins

    With Thai language and world-ready paragraph composer on InDesign 19.3, by default optical margins are enabled. but this does not produce desirable adjustments. It does hang the left margin outside just a little but it does not recalculate the line for Left Justification. So the right side become shorter by the same amount as it moved the line to the left.

13. Never break a word with Thai hyphenation dictionary

    In English it is possible to add a hyphenation word to the user dictionary and if you want the word never to be hyphenated, type a tilde before its first letter. This will force the word to never break.

    However with Thai you can add the word with the tilde but InDesign will not respect that word. The word will still be broken.

15. fontproblem – strange ligatures – invisible font

    Hi there

    In InDesign CC23 we have the problem that we sometimes have some issues with ligatures. We have the font Minion Pro activates in the Library. and somehow have the problem, that the ligatures appear to be a completely different character, see the screenshot.
    the problem could be resolved by deleting the Minion Font from the application folder > Ressources > Required > Fonts. the Ligatures changed back to the correct character. Or i deactivate the minion regular in the finder. But i need the font for other apps as well, so i need to activate the regular font as well.

    Other Problem as well with Minion. We accidentally activated the Font through our Font Tool as well through Adobe Cloud. That brought us the problem, that the complete Font isn’t visible in InDesign or compressed as ****, so a complete Textline is less than 1/2mm in width.
    Screenshot attached:
    – missing font: while double-activated Minion
    – Normal view: after deactivated ether of the fonts.

20. Errors in file creation means that some devices cannot open epub file. ID Version 19.3

    E-Pub checker defines issues consistently
    "data-idGenAnimationEndState" is not a valid custom data attribute (it must have at least one character
    after the hyphen, be XML-compatible, and not contain ASCIl uppercase letters). The errors are always in reference to lines 17 and 20 in the code. When I attempted to load the file I received notice: The (ID created files) are 'not supported' and cannot be uploaded to this site. The publications with these errors contain gifs. They play ok on my mac and android devices though not on some similar devices.
