dropped math characters in imported eps files
InDesign CC 18.1 x64 sometimes drops characters in math imported as EPS files on export to PDF. This is similar to an earlier problem that appeared after an update when none of the EPS files would print. This problem seems to correct itself when the file is re-exported, but not always. Editing the imported EPS with MathType also seems to correct it. The file missing characters and the correct file are uploaded for comparison.

Hyperlink bug: hyperlink format is spilling over to other paragraphs
There is a bug with the Hyperlink format in my Incopy Version 16.4.1 running on Mac OS 12.6.3:
1) I am inserting a Hyperlink in my Incopy document. It is then shown in blue, underlined, Times New Roman. See screenshot.
2) Next I am formatting it as "ohne" Zeichenformat (German) in order to have it in the same format as the other text.
3) I close the file (check in) and open it again (check out).
4) Suddenly, the remainder of the the text is formatted in Hyperlink format. This is a bug.1 vote -

Opening a file with missing fonts freezes InDesign
Opening a file that has missing fonts freezes InDesign for a minute or so. Every document with missing fonts does this. If I manually activate the font and then try opening the same document again, there is no freeze.
InDesign 17.2.1, macOS Monterey (latest)
My coworker is on Catalina and has the same freeze too.9 votesFix for this issue is now available in the latest release of InDesign 2022 - that is, InDesign 17.4 version.
Please update to this version to get the fix.

Incorrect cursor movement when selecting text
There is an annoying bug when selecting the text: extending the selection is working incorrectly.
To reproduce:
1. Select a word with the mouse. Make sure the word is in the middle of the text. Select the characters from left to right
2. Now Shift+Left Arrow modifies the BEGINNING of the text, instead of the END.
Why is this a bug?
Open any other text editing software and see the difference: when selecting text with the mouse, the cursor is placed where the mouse button is released. If selecting from left to right, then pressing Shift+Arrow keys, will shrink/grow the…3 votes -

tool panel/character panel disappears
Since INDesign 2023 my tool bar and character panels occasionally disappear. When I click out of the app and then come back to it later. They aren't there. When I go to the Window menu, I can get them back, but this is happening a few times a day and is an annoyance.
Never had that in 15 years of InDesign.
p.s. It happened once in Photoshop too!

Wrong hyphenation Spanish
Indesign 2023 Spanish hyphenation is wrong.
Some words starting with "des-" are hyphenated after "des-" and should be hyphenated after "de-". Example of right hyphenation:
- desempeño > de - sem - pe - ño
- desagradecido> de - sa -gra - de - ci -do
- destilar> des - ti - lar
This problem has appeared in last versions of indesign.

InDesign 2023 crashes when opening older InDesign files
Can't open older version files in InDesign 2023. Using Microsoft Office 2016 64-Bit Edition (yes, I know we're really behind in our operating system). It looks like it's going to open the file, and then it crashes InDesign. Have tried restarting, re-installing InDesign and no go. Have even tried saving the old file as an IDML mark-up file and it still won't open.
