cross-reference
Bonjour,
Je travaille présentement sur un long document dans lequel j'ai intégré un lexique à la fin. J'utilise des cibles hyperliens pour afficher les entrées du lexique à partir du texte au moyen de références croisées.
Or, les cibles hyperliens disparaissent aléatoirement et fréquemment. Si j'essaie de réparer tous les liens brisés, je n'arrive pas à terminer toutes les réparations avant que des liens réparés soient à nouveau brisés.
Informations :
iMac : iMac (Retina 5K, 27-po, Fin 2015)
Version système: osx 12.7.6
Version de inDesign : 19.5

[Variable fonts] Axis committal doesn't stick
When using a variable font, and changing an axis’s value via the text box, it doesn't stick when the menu is Escaped. However, the value does stick when it is escaped if it was committed via slider.
To reproduce:
- Set some text in a text box.
- Open the Character Panel.
- Choose a variable font.
- Go into the variable font value settings via the button to the bottom right.
- Change a value in the text box.
- Hit Enter to commit. (Shouldn't really be necessary and doesn't seem to have effect anyway).
- Hit Escape to get rid of the slider pop-up.

Bug: blank lines between footnotes when aligned to baseline grid
Found a serious bug in which aligning footnotes to the baseline grid adds blank lines between footnotes, even if the paragraph style has no space before/after, the leading is smaller than the baseline grid increment, and the footnote options specify no space before or between notes. This is breaking my workflow and I can't find a way around it without deselecting "align to baseline grid," which causes other problems.

Preferences: Type: Use of Typographer’s Quote reset to off
- Adobe InDesign 14.0.3
- Create or open a document with Use of Typographer’s Quote checkbox ticked. Copy/Paste text from a document (Word, TextEdit) into the InDesign document. Note that the resetting of the Preferences doesn't happen all the time, only sometimes and I haven't been able to narrow it down to a certain context.
- The pasted text should use Typographer’s Quote according to the Preferences.
- The quotes from that pasted text use straight quotes instead, and when opening the Preferences, the checkbox is now unticked.
Note: I've encountered this bug in previous versions of InDesign from CS5 up to the current…

line spacing / leading glitches
I often change line spacing of a single line by selecting the first character of a line and changing the line spacing. Normally, this will adjust line spacing for the one line, but I'm encountering a baffling glitch that changes the line spacing for the line under the affected bit of text where I changed the line spacing. Note that I'm changing the leading of the first character of a new paragraph line. Please see my screen record to see this in action. I have tried this with multiple fonts. I am using the most up to date version.

Unknown Script 33 (InDesign 19.5)
Hello, I'm a Type-Design and I'm currently developing a typeface and encountering an issue during the export process. When attempting to use the font in Adobe InDesign, I receive an error code "Unknown Script 33" upon selecting the font. The typeface includes two styles: plain and italic. The issue seems to be linked to the PostScript name, which varies based on how I rename it in FontLab.
Notably, the font functions correctly in InDesign when only the plain or italic file is activated individually. The problem might be related to certain TrueType metadata, as indicated by the "(OTF)" label in…

Align to decimal tab stop behavior changes to left justified if ligatures present
Indesign 19.5
Create something like a manual numbered list with the first tab set as a decimal tab stop and any word in the first line that contains a ligature.. It can be as simple as "[tab]2. fi".
Expected result is the period would align where the decimal tab stop is set. This will happen up until a ligature is introduced.
Once a ligature is present on the first line, the decimal tab stop behaves like a left-justified tab stop instead.

Is this a text wrap problem or something else??
I use InDesign 2022. My Text wrap is set to 'none'.
When I open a new text box it’s automatically applying a 1" a white space top and bottom that is the width of the text box. Also a 1/4" white space to each side of the box, that is the height of the text box. These 'white panels' (I hesitate to call them text wraps) blank out other text boxes and photos, but sometimes the text from the underlying text box shows through. Bringing the photo to the front can help where a photo is concerned.
This is especially…

Running Header issue with anchored textframes (for alternative titles)
If I use an anchored textframe to have abbreviated versions of the headlines as running head, they override every following trigger until the end of the story.
I use character styles as trigger set to 'last on page'.
Please fix this. (Or configure a better way for customizable running headers. Preferable in combination with the table of content)

undesired text reflow
When anchoring an object to which text wrap has been applied, the text in the paragraph receiving the anchor reflows in an undesired manner, affecting layout in minute but important ways. Trying to fit book copy around an image without creating spaciness within the shortened lines is hard enough without having all one's adjustments made null when the text shifts due to an anchor that has nowhere else it can be placed.

Variable font sliders are laggy
Variable font sliders are much less smooth in InDesign, compared to Illustrator. They are much laggier.
Attached is a screen recording of the Acumin variable font being used in Illustrator (top) and InDesign (bottom).
