Sinhala text render issue
When typing or copying texts in Sinhala unicode font, the output is rendered incorrectly. For instance, "ෙ + ට +ා" must be rendered as "ටො" but in indesign it is rendered as "ටො". It does not create any difference by changing the keystroke pattern. "ෙ + ට +ා", "ට + ෙ + ා", "ෙ + ා + ට" renders the same output. I tried changing renderer to "World-ready paragraph renderer" but nothing changed in rendering.

Eliminate Generating PDF dialog box
I am constantly bothered by the Generating PDF dialog box for two reasons:
First, it doesn't play well with my dual-screen setup. If I have InDesign on one monitor, the dialog box often shows up on the othe rmonitor, blocking whatever applications or windows I am working on outside of InDesign. Then I must manually drag it over to the InDesign monitor to get it out of the way. Come on Adobe! Many users have multiple monitors. Your apps should remember the locations of all dialog boxes, windows, and panels and not arbitrarily show up in random places.

Missing font is not displayed as missing
When opening the file in InDesign (tested in ID17, ID18.5 and ID 19 Beta) the font is not reported as missing.
Nor does it appear as missing under "find/replace font...".
However, it is highlighted in pink; so ID notices that the font is missing.My expectation is that the missing font will also show up as missing in "Find/Replace font...".

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.

With GPU preview page's content vibrates constantly | InDesign 18.2.1
I use InDesign 18.2.1 on a MacBook Pro 2023 (M2 Max) with macOS Ventura 13.2.1. When the GPU preview is enabled, the page's content vibrates constantly. Please check the attached video (I made it by putting my iPhone on a tripod in front of my display because if I start a screen recording, the issue disappears).

one click font size changer in whole file.
During translation, the text expands too much, and we have to reduce the font size to fit the text. But if it is a booklet we have to keep consistency throughout the file. Therefore if I reduce the font size in the heading will need to check and reduce the font size in the body text as well. It is time-consuming if the document is not set properly with styles.
Let's say I need to reduce font size by 1pt throughout the document. and I have multiple variations in sizes like the Heading 20pt, subheading 18, body size 12 pt…

comments
Review comments should stay with the original site where they were left when I sort them in a new way. Not obvious? Now comment on page 1 will stay with page 1, even if the site moved to the end. that is confusing.

Position de l'objet et filtre N/B
Super !
Mais il faudrait arriver à développer un outil qui arrive à gérer les plans des objets (arrière-plant et premier plant) un peu comme dans Word ou on a une aide à la position en 3D.
Il serait bien aussi un outil qui puisse appliquer des filtres photo rapides comme en N/B.

System wide “Emoji & Symbols” panel is not working
The “picker panels” of macOS and Windows are really nice to quickly get an emoji or special character. The keyboard shortcuts for both work system wide. Almost. It works in applications from Adobe on Windows but not on Mac. I do not understand why this is blocked.
