1. Version of Adobe InDesign
   This issue appears in every InDesign versions since footnotes are supported.
   Bug reports / feature requests (from CS3 up to CS6) have been ignored in the past.




2. Steps to reproduce the issues
   given:
   a) a footnote with three text lines
   b) splitting footnotes allowed in the footnote options
   c) keep options: at start/end of Paragraph 2/2 (2 lines at start, 2 lines at end)

Play with the textframes hight so that the footnote is forced to be splitted. It will only split 2/1, not 1/2.

1. Actual result
   The footnots splits with 2 lines in the textframe within the footnote starts and ends with one single line (widow) in the next textframe.




2. Expected result
   a) best choice: hold the keep options!
   (e.g. 2 at start / 2 at end; so don't split a footnote with 3 and less lines).
   b) alternative: make an orphan (full line at the start of a footnote paragraph) instead of a widow; widows are absolutely not allowed (because they ony fill a part of a line, maybe only one word)




3. Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)
   Screenshots appended

The following words in cannot be reproduced in InDesign. It seems the glyph substitution is not working in about 1% of cases.

It looks fine above, in any text editor, or in any Microsoft app, but does NOT look right in any Adobe app I tested, such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop CC 2019 and 2020 of each.
I am applying the World-Ready Composers.
I have tried copy+pasting the text from Word and also tried the Place command in InDesign.
I've tested in both the English North America and English Arabic versions.
I've tried multiple fonts, as well. No change.
See attached for examples. Word doc shows as it should be. InDesign shows it wrong. I highlighted the glyphs that are wrong in InDesign as pink.
Thanks!

When importing a Word document that contains some indented paragraphs, the left indent being set to 5mm in Word (for example), once placed in InDesign, these 5mm indents typically show as 4.992mm. This would not neccesarily be a problem except that Find/Change in InDesign will not recognise an indent to 3 decimal places and therefore this cannot be located easily and fixed. This is proving to be a big problem in my workflow as I cannot automate the process of re-styling these paragraphs using InDesign Paragraph Styles with Find/Change. This bug occurs whatever measurement system is used, i.e. mm, inches, pts etc. Version of InDesign used: 14.0.3 although the same problem exists back to CS6 at least.

In CC2020 a new function for writing alternate text for links was introduced.
Using this function and generating a PDF Leeds to wrong PDF notation. The alt text in PDF is presented by alt text, which is forbidden in the PDF world, where alt text only should be used for non text elements, e.g. pictures. By presenting only the alt text the accessibility is lost – this is against the goal to hav a better output!
A correct output would lead to a content entry.

Note: Alt text for links is under discussion, as such alt text is not present for all users (it would be read out loud, but you can't read it) – this is not about equal access.

Thanks for fixing, this would be a good step for all people relying on accessible PDFs.

I'm experiencing a bug where Nested Line Styles are interfering with Grep Styles.

To reproduce:
1. Create a Character Style "Small Caps" that only applies OpenType All Small Caps.
2. Create a Character Style "No Break" that only applies the No Break rule.
3. Create a Paragraph Style "Test":
    a. In Nested Styles, add Small Caps for 1 line
    b. In Grep Styles, add:
        i. Small Caps: ([\u\d&@#\$%/]{2,}(?!\l{2,}))|([\d&@#$%]+)|(I'D)
        ii. No Break: (?<=.{55}).{15}$
4. Fill with placeholder text, and add a string of capital letters (something that matched the Small Caps grep) somewhere in the middle

You'll notice that the line style and grep small caps work, but the No Break style isn't being applied. Switch the order of the grep styles (No Break first) and now it's the opposite—No Break works but not Small Caps.

Now, remove the Line Style, and suddenly both grep styles work.

Refer to the attached screen shot. I can also provide a sample .indd file with the styles prepared. I've used styles set up like this for a while without problems, so this may be related to a recent InDesign update.
