InDesign v19.5: Data Merge Problems with Diacritical
InDesign v19.5: Data Merge Problems with Diacritical
I wanted to use "Data Merge" again after a while, but I found that it no longer works as it did in the previous version (v18). In the old version (v18), "Data Merge" worked correctly with diacritics, but in the current version (v19.5), it does not, and it's definitely not a font issue (I’ve tried all of them). The ".csv" file is exactly the same as the one used before, and when I use the old version, everything works as it should. The problem occurs with certain characters, such as "Š", "Č" and…

pdf import corrections
Indesign 19,.5 Imac 2020. When there are many corrections in a file it would be great if after accepting the correction, the correction would be deleted from the list of corrections, because Indesign can become very slow with 700+ corrections. And whats the use of keeping it in the list after accepting the correction.

Deleting spreads takes many minutes
The time it takes to delete spreads increases with the number of spreads being deleted. To delete 200 spreads in one go, it takes ten to twenty minutes. This operation should be instantaneous.

Footnotes do not honor "keep" settings
Title says it all. If a footnote paragraph style contains "keep" settings and split footnotes are enabled, footnotes ignore the keep settings. It should be possible to (a) allow split footnotes, and (b) stipulate that at least two lines must be carried over to the second page, but this is not possible. Keeps are ignored.

GREP styles do not work in text variables
The title should say it all. When setting a text variable in a paragraph style that includes GREP styles, the GREP styles are not applied to the text variable. This is a severe limitation of the variable functionality, and is similar to many other reported bugs concerning variables, the upshot of which is that variables need to behave more like ordinary text. This is one more instance in which this is true.

BUG: Word import: Styles
InDesign 19.5 x64 (Win) 2024
When importing Word files wrong styles are applied:
- with no frame selected a style is chosen (p.a. Style-A)
- click in a frame, selected Style is different (p.e. Style-B)
- Word is imported (formatting removed, local overrides kept) -> Text (even if cursor is within text formatted in Style-B) is formatted in Style-A
This is bad p.e. when italics is needed as local override, and the wrong style is italics too (then evereything is italcs ...).

Keyboard shortcuts to resize assets suddenly stop working
InDesign V19.5 on MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1.
Keyboard shortcuts to resize assets on a spread stop working once a document has been open for a while. Shortcuts such as CMD+ALT+Click to resize container box and the asset within, while maintaining proportions, CMD+click to resize container, while maintaining proportions, don't work.
The only fix I've found is to restart my Mac. Closing and reopening InDesign doesn't fix the issue.

"Failed to place PDF" with a PDF file created in Canva
Trying to import a client supplied PDF, created in the paid version of Canva and saved as a CMYK print quality PDF (not flattened). Will not place into InDesign. I've tried various and no import options and it does not work. I have placed this PDF into Adobe Illustrator and Affinity Publisher 2 without issue.

review search
When sharing a review: On the review web page, there is no longer a possibility to search for text. This makes reviewing long documents with many pages nearly impossible. Reviewers have to manually go through all the pages to find the content that's relevant.
Until around mid-2024, it was possible to use the browser's search function (CTRL+F). This has been disabled. Even if enforced (entering search through the browser's menu), it does not work.
To me, having no possibility to search for text in a document that should be reviewed, sounds like a severe, obvious oversight and should be addressed…

Bug: mixed open type numbers
If a text is set in a paragraph format using medieval numbers and using character format with versal number for footnotes, sets the number with two digits wrong: the first will be versal, the second medieval (see image).

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.

Screen tearing while scrolling
I'm having issues with screen tearing in InDesign 2023 and 2024. I've tried resizing UI, testing an earlier version of InDesign (hence 2023), making sure my computer was set to best performance over battery saver, etc. Inevitably when I scroll around, lines of text will jump around or break. I'm operating a brand new windows 11 computer with 16gb of RAM, and this is a two page InDesign document with one image, so...

I expect "hide closed ideas" to hide the closed ideas, but they are all still visible.

InCopy: Paragraph Panel Bugs When Placed in Top Menu Area
I’ve noticed an issue with the Paragraph panel when it's placed in the top menu area of InCopy. The Space After option disappears and only becomes visible when the panel is pulled out or moved to the right-side menu.
Additionally, the Drop Cap feature behaves oddly in the top menu. It restricts the character selection to a range of 6-150. However, once the panel is pulled out, I can select 1 character as expected.
Please ensure the Paragraph panel functions consistently in all locations, similar to how it works in InDesign, where I haven’t encountered these issues.
Also, I couldn’t…

Placed TIF files export as grey boxes when exported to PNG format
InDesign 19.5, macOS 14.6.1, Apple M1 Max chip
With no document open, set the default view to "Fast" by choosing View > Display Performance > Fast Display.
Create a new document, and place a TIF image on the page.
Choose File > Export, and select PNG for the export format.
The TIF image will export as a gray box. It should export as the actual image. Even if you choose View > Display Performance > High Quality Display and export again, the TIF image will still export as a gray PNG.
If you close the file, change the InDesign default…

[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.
Problem: …
