Paragraph border and shading error with anchored objects
when anchored objects (such as column Text or line numbers) are anchored in a Text using the options "Paragraph border" and "paragraph Shading" the borders and Shades will "randomly" disappear, or new border-lines will appear (when more then one paragraphs are merged, the lines always appear between the different styles, even though they work fine again when the object is de-anchored). Sometimes the appearance doesn't change when an object is anchored, but when the anchored object is edited (for example, when the size of the anchored object is changed).
This is reproducable on my Windows 10, using InDesign 15.1.4.

Shift + Tab / Ctrl + Shift + Tab doesn't work properly with reordered Windows
Shift + Tab usually switches to the next open window/project. with Ctrl is switches to previous window.
That works so far.It doesn't work anymore though, as soon as you rearrange the order of the windows.
Say you have project A, Project B, Project C open, but you move the window from Project C between A and B
so now its: A, C, B
if I now want to switch from C to B I would click Shift + Tab. But instead to the obvious next Tab "project B" it switches STILL to A.
So Indesign constantly remembers the original…

Urdu fonts not working in InDesign 2021
Tried various Urdu fonts in InDesign and only one seemed to work fine (Jameel Noori Nastaleeq). On others attempted, the glyphs were all over the place and it looked like some baseline shift might be required on some characters. In others something called 'missing glyph protection' kicked in and all the characters looked like they were piled on top of each other.
The same fonts worked fine in MS Word (365) so I prepared two PDF files showing the same text in 5 different URDU fonts - one prepared from Word and the other from InDesign to illustrate the difference.

nested style does not appear
When creating a new Style using the Nested Styles dropdown, the new style does not appear in the Styles Panel. I need to remove a number of unused styles created using the Nested Styles dropdown method, but since they don't show up in the Styles Panel, there is no way to remove them.

Align to grid
When you have a text box with multiple columns and paragraphs are set to align to grid + Align first line of text only, if text from one paragraph flows to the next column, that 'first' line of text will NOT align to the grid as it is not the first line in the paragraph. I can't think of any situation where this is an optimal outcome.

problem with optical margin alignment and world-ready paragraph composer
This happens in multiple versions of InDesign. I've reproduced it in ID CS 6 (8.1.0.420), ID CC 2019 (14.0.3.433), ID 2021 (16.4.0.55), and ID 2022 (17.0.0.68).
Steps to reproduce:
(1) Open InDesign
(2) Create a new empty document
(3) Create a text frame that is 100 mm by 100 mm
(4) Place Text4.txt
(5) Go Type > Story > check Optical Margin AlignmentExpected result:
The left margin should be somewhat ragged because the * character needs to be shifted left to make the margin appear straight. The right margin should be completely even because each line ends with the…

Span columns not working properly (16.4)
InDesign 16.4 on Windows.
I have an issue with spanned text.
It looks like a "break column" special character is created above and below the text when I span it across a 2 column frame. Or a text column is "skipped."
This is happening on flowing text, on primary text frames. The text was initially imported from a Word document (without styling).This "bug" doesn't happens on on other text frames where the text was not imported.
I am trying to upload the INDD packaged rar file but the platform is saying that that type of file is not supported...…

Using Text Wrap around objects causes InDesign to crash!
When I apply a text wrap but only around an object, the program crashes and closes. The other text wrapping tools work fine.
I noticed a blue cercle on the icon of text wrap around an object (see the screenshot joined). I'm not sure this is normal... maybe it would help you solve the problem...
When I click on this tool, a windows opens (see second screenshot) and then Indesign crashes and closes.
You can note that I am using the latest version of Indesign (16.4).
Thank you very much for your help.

CC dropping non-adobe fonts overnight and having to un-install and re-install everyday
Since the last update (3/9/21) CC drops non-adobe (Avenir) fonts from Indesign overnight. Every morning I'm having to un-install and re-install the fonts as even though they are installed Indesign can't see them. Why is this? It's most annoying as it's our corporate font and having to do this every day wastes time.
