Justifying frame or change leading causes text to change
This is happening from time to time. The hyphenation of the word inside the red stroke is removed simply by setting the text frame vertical justfication to 'Justify' or by changing the leading of the paragraph. These modifications should not mess with the text and hyphenation. When this happens, in certain circumstances, it changes the number of lines of the paragraph (see prints), causing the whole story to reflow.

Adobe clearly mentions that publish online supports smooth gesture controls : https://helpx.adobe.com/in/indesign/using/publish-online.htmlPlease fix this ASAP.

Find/change 15.1.3, Windows 10
Find/change does not work when a character style (e.g. italic) is selected.
Have closed program and started it again, and it works for words selected, but could not get it to find this question mark character ?, nor would it change format of a word to italics when this was selected under the Find Format and/or Change Format boxes. Following this I also found it would not find a selected word with no formatting changes requested.1 vote -
Paragraph borders do not update when the text length is changed
When editing a paragraph with borders applied to them, the borders do not update correctly when changing the text length. This should occur dynamically, whereas currently, users have to tick and untick the checkbox as it does not always update.
This occurs on Windows 10, Indesign version 16.4.

Disable automatic sect-tags on PDF export
When exporting a tagged PDF, InDesign automatically creates Sect-Tags for each story. I would like to be able to disable this feature on export for the following reasons:
- As far as I know, they are of limited value for screen reader users. The content is usually already well structured by means of an appropriate heading structure.
- It is very difficult to integrate figures into a story in a semantically correct/meaningful way. When anchoring them in the text, they will be nested in p-tags, which is according to PDF/UA not correct semantically. Hence, I avoid creating stories and use the article…

Big Sur - inDesign when I switch to another program (PSD/Ai for example) it quits like a spoiled child
Once I switched from Mojave to Big Sur inDesign will not stay running unless I leave it as the main program.
Font issue? Mentioned because that is my main issue with Big Sur at the moment -- errr.1 vote -
Insering Anchroed text frame object shifts the vowels on referenced Arabic/Persian/Urdu text frame
Hello there,
We have only noticed this problem while dealing with Arabic/Persian/Urdu text (regardless of the fonts used). English text works just fine.
When anchored framed is inserted, the vowels in the Arabic/Persian/Urdu text and sometime evens the characters in the text shift. The foreign text is typically perfectly fine prior to inserting the anchored object however changes. See before and after examples:

Endnote Links Not Functioning When Published Online
I have a complex document (725 pages across 15 chapters) in which each chapter contains between 75 and 300 endnotes that I imported from the most current version of MS Word into InDesign 2021 (v. 16.4 x64). When I export a chapter as a PDF, everything works reasonably well (although links between in-text endnote numbers and endnote references simply jump between applicable page numbers, rather than to the notes themselves, but I can live with that). But when I publish a chapter or the whole online, only the bookmarks from the InDesign TOC feature work. The links between endnote numbers…

Two finger trackpad zoom in OSX is broken
I use Option + Two Finger Up Or Down on the track pad to zoom in InDesign.
While it seems to zoom in fine, it almost never zooms out properly. Often when I try and zoom out it zooms in further.
This behaviour works just fine in other Adobe apps such as Illustrator.
I'm running Mac OSX Catalina 10.15.7 on a 2019 16" Macbook Pro.

Fonts' OpenType features not working in Composite fonts in InDesign
When using any Hebrew font in InDesign, the diacritics (nikuds) are displayed in their correct location. This location is set within the fonts by using OpenType features such as ccmp (for glyph substitution) and mark (for glyph positioning). InDesign recognizes and applies these features.
When this font is used as part of a Composite font in InDesign, the result is quite different. It seems like the ccmp feature is honored but the mark feature is not.
The diacritics shift and the length of the text increases. Some of this fluctuation can be mitigated by Diacritics Position feature in InDesign however…

keyboard shortcuts not working
2017 iMac Retina 5K 27", running Big Sur 11.5.2, InDesign 2021.
Suddenly, without warning or explanation certain keyboard shortcuts have stopped working.
The T shortcut to change to type tool flicks to type tool and then back to original tool (eg Selection tool).
Hand tool on space bar does not work and zoom on space bar + cmd does not work.
For some time now, you can't hide ID when there are no documents open by using cmd–H.
I have been using ID since almost the very beginning and these have always worked. As I'm paying a monthly sub for…
