Corner Options remove the Inset Spacing on a Text Box
When you create a text box with an inset spacing, if you apply a corner option, the insert spacing is removed.
To fix it, all you got to do is go to the Text Frame Options and add the inset spacing again, but it would be great if it didn't get removed in the first place.

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…4 votes -

InDesign HTML export writes user CSS file in wrong order, ahead of base CSS
Since at least v18, InDesign export to HTML writes any user-designated CSS files ahead of the base, idGenerated CSS file. This means user statements are wholly or partially overwritten by the base statements.
This has been discussed and noted in the forum since at least v18, and I thought a bug notice had been entered here but I cannot locate it.
This fault is critical for any users trying to export to HTML and use CSS style overrrides. Problems are likely elusive and frustrating since the "wrong interaction" of the CSS order may not be apparent unless and until the…

Alpha channel issue in print pdf
Hi All,
My single-color PDF document that I uploaded to the Scout printer has an error stating that it uses the Alpha channel and is treated as a CMYK plate. My print page did not have an alpha channel.
Could someone please advise me on how to determine whether the Alpha channel is there and how to prevent this sort of printer issue? My print PDF document is attached here.Regards,
Mani

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.)

Punctuation at the end of Hebrew text is broken if there is a SHIFT+ENTER in the middle
Punctuation character at the end of Hebrew text is "shift" to the right if a SHIFT+ENTER (line break within the same paragraph) was typed somewhere in the paragraph.
A simple example is shown in the attached image.
Also, in the attached Image I am using the "Adobe Hebrew" font with "Hebrew" set as Language (as can be seen in the attached images).

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…

Glitching and Lagging
Mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1 (as well as previous release)
InDesign 19.01 (as well as previous releases)
Apple M1 MaxInDesign (and Illustrator) have become infuriating to use. All graphics and text are constantly glitching when scrolling or zooming. When selecting an element for some reason there is a lag where it things that I am clicking and dragging the element cause it to move. Sometimes it moves a pixel or get thrown across the page.
I have tried the following
In Preferences,
Disabled Animated Zoom to no effect.
Disabled GPU Performance to no effect.

Computer: Mac Sonoma 14.4 Indesign: 14.4 AMFID and TRUSTD
Yesterday I updated both Mac and Indesign. Today I regret.
When autoflowing a very large file (which yesterday would have taken around 10 minutes) - now it runs for hours.Strangely I have noticed that while the delay is happening in Indesign - amfid begins to take 64% of my CPU on the Activity monitor. trustd runs around 24-27%. Indesign is running 9-10%. Once I shut down Indesign or the task finally completes, but amfid and trustd disappear from the activity monitor. Could this be the source of the delay. This is truly keeping me from my work.

PDF/vector rasterize fail
Pdf rasterization has been bad for many years, a long time ago I reported this problem with complex graphics when thin lines appear in the image when saved to jpg. Previously, at least a pdf from indesign could be opened in photoshop, which had a different rasterization, but it has been the same for a long time, and when rasterizing SOME pdfs, it always creates thin lines in different places depending on the resolution...
Here is a sample QR directly generated in indesign when saved to jpg and in the preview in the application shows these thin lines!!!

InDesign crashes when I try to change styles with the preview box selected.
I am running InDesign 19.0.1 x 64 on a Windows 10 machine
When I try to edit a paragraph style that includes bullet points, and with the Preview box checked, my computer crashes. As you can see in the screen capture video, it is an intermittent issue, but InDesign crashes the majority of times I am trying to edit the bullet paragraph styles. It also happens when I try to change the Anchored Object Options in my Object Styles panel.

hyperlinkTextSources.add thrown Errornumber 79111 since InDesign 2024
When creating hyperlinks, a hyperlink is automatically created via a text object. The script ran until InDesign 2023.
The text objects are returned by a search.app.activeDocument.findGrep();
The hyperlink was created with the steps
hyperlinkTextSources.add
hyperlinkURLDestinations.add
hyperlinks.addThe first hyperlink is created as expected. In InDesign 2024, error 79111 "The selected object is already being used by another hyperlink" is thrown after the first hyperlink created (hyperlinkTextSources.add).

Margins not honored when duplicating pages
When duplicating a page in a document with different Inside/Outside margins, the content of consecutive pages moves out of the margins.

InDesign won't quit
Since the update to v18.5, InDesign won't quit after working on a document. If I simply just open the program and won't open or create any document, it closes perfectly. But once a document is created or opened, the program itself won't quit afterwards and just sits/hangs there requiring force quit.
Resetting the preferences and dumping the caches didn't help either. Running Win 11 Pro x64. Nothing else is changed except ID got updated yesterday to v18.5.
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall because it's not a 'major' issue - just posting here so it's known and hopefully they…

Color Swatch Menu Closes Upon Right-Click
- Adobe InDesign v19.0 When I click the color swatches panel menu dropdown, the menu drops down, and I am able to edit existing swatches and I am able to add new swatches. The problem occurs when I attempt to right-click on a color or if I press the hamburger button at the top right of the panel. When I try to do either of these, the entire menu closes.
