1. World-Ready Composer Is messing up the kerning in Latin fonts

   I have reported a variation of this—back with CS6—but it seems not to have been fixed. I assume it's a bug, but if someone can enlighten me about what I might be doing wrong and how I can fix this, I'd appreciate it.

   I often work on books that include Arabic and Hebrew words and phrases in the middle of English text. They only way to get the Arabic ligatures to form is to use one of the World Ready composers. When I do that, though, the kerning around some English characters often—but not always—is affected. I have tried turning on and off various settings—justification settings, kashidas, etc.—and their effect seems to be random. Sometimes the changes fix the problem until the page redraws, sometimes the errant kerning is corrected in one location but shows up in another location, sometimes nothing happens at all. I'm attaching two screen captures of a book that I have in production now with the word "economics" selected in each. In the shot with the World-Ready Paragraph Composer active, you can see the extra kerning between the "e" and the "c." In the shot with the WRPC deactivated, the word looks as it should.

   Is this a bug? If not, what am I doing wrong? If it is, when might we expect a fix. Unfortunately, I have a deadline on this project now and can't see any reasonable way to fix this. Thanks for considering this problem.

3. Index Panel's Update Preview Button Causes Hard Crash

   The Index panel will cause InDesign to crash if you click the update preview button when a three-layer index entry has no text in the second layer.

   I figured out what causes the crash with 100% reproducable results. Here's how you do it.

   1) Create a multi-document book.
   2) Open one document in the book.
   3) Create an index entry with three layers. For example, 'dogs > breed > beagle'.
   4) Open a different document in the book.
   5) Repeat step 3 in this different document, with the same entry data.
   6) In the Index panel you will see two entries that are both three layers deep. Toggle the layer arrows and then double click the second layer heading of 'breed'. Delete the text in the box and hit enter.
   7) You will notice in the Index panel that there is a blank space beneath 'dog' and above 'beagle.'
   8) Now click the 'cycle' refresh button at the bottom of the Index panel.
   9) InDesign will crash.

   From a programming perspective I suspect this has something to do with no data being in the entry's second layer. It's finding 'null' and crashing.

7. Import XLSX spreadsheet to an InDesign table: the "-1" problem

   1. InDesign CS4 - CC2017

   2. Generate an Excel spreadsheet that contains at least one cell with the value "-1". Save as XLSX. Import/place (cmd-d) this file as "unformatted table".

   3. the cells with the value "-1" should still have this value.

   4. the cells are empty. All other values seem to show up correctly.

   Additional information: Working regularly on Annual Reports with 100+ tables, our choice is to import as „unformatted table“ and to do all formatting in InDesign. After changes in Excel, all we have to do is updating the linked tables via the link panel. Table contents change, formatting stays. Perfect. But we are dependent on our clients still willing to use the outdated XLS format.

   Please have a look at this problem! Thank you in advance.

   Best regards

8. Publish Online URL links breaking website functionality

   File Created in Indesign CC 2017

   I have created a test interactive document with links to product DG012 on our company website.

   https://indd.adobe.com/view/da74b2d3-46b2-40cf-99e2-8201ddc6248a

   When the link is clicked from publish online it opens the page but seems to disable all scripts that run on the website. e.g. search field and add to cart no longer functions on that page.

   The website itself functions correctly if you navigate to the link manually ( http://www.lockhart.co.uk/Table-Service-and-Buffet/Buffet-Display/Display-Stands/Rafters-F usion-1-2-Board~p~DG012 ).

   Interestingly in safari the add to cart button functions but the search field is still disabled.

   On closer inspection it seems to be an iframe issue -
   If I go into chrome developer tools i get the following errors:

   The key "target-densitydpi" is not supported.

   Rafters-Fusion-1-2-Board~p~DG012:1 Blocked form submission to '/search' because the form's frame is sandboxed and the 'allow-forms' permission is not set.

   When clicked the link opens in a new window so I am not sure how to go about editing the code behind the sandbox element.

   Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello All,

    We thank you for your patience all this while.

    Addressing this problem has been tricky for us given the random nature of the issue.
    Determined to resolve the issue, we had launched our investigation into the matter to identify the root cause and fix it.

    Many of you must have received email from us seeking more details about the issue.

    We have concluded our investigation and came up with the below mentioned finding:

    It was found that, most of the times, users were trying to drag an empty polygon which was leading the confusion because the legacy behaviour of InDesign allows dragging of polygon only from its edges or the centre most point.
    If the user tries to drag it from any other position, the object cannot be moved.

    We have tried to improve the user experience in this regard. You can try the same in InDesign’s latest version id 14.0.3.

    Please download and install id 14.0.3 and let us know your feedback on the new experience.

    Note:
    If you are unable to drag other types of objects (other than empty polygons), please check the memory usage of your system. It has been observed that when the memory usage reaches the critical level, dragging of the objects become difficult.
    As a workaround, you may either try to close some applications or restart the system.

    InDesign team

    InDesign 12.1.0.56; macOS Sierra 10.12.5; Magic Mouse

    The issue varies with any file. I have mostly seen this occur when in the Find/Change window, or when I try and select a font. My mouse will not be able to click (select) anything in the drop down menus. I am able to select with my keyboard by using the arrows and "return" key. To get the mouse to click (select) an option from a drop down menu, I must first restart InDesign and then open the same file.
