overprint is unpredictable in INDD and AI
In the latest versions of INDD (17.2.1) and AI (26.2.1) i find that the overprint settings have become unpredictable. I have just received feedback from a client, that the date on a flyer i designed for him is illegible. In the attached print-file the date actually is overprinting. In INDD though the element is not set to overprinting. I have had the same issue with another document this week in AI.

Redefine Character Style not available
When changing the parameters of a selection that has a Character Style applied, the 'Redefine Style' should become available in the Character Style's contextual menu. But unfortunately, this is not the case.

hyphenation not working properly in English
first, why can't I use a snipping file here? Neither .jpg or .png will work - your site denies these file types.
My hyphenation is really out of whack. If you look at the first line of text, it's crazy that it's wrapping the 1, for WW1 to the next line. If I add the No Break from the Character panel, it moves "World War" down to the second line.

Paste without formatting option disappeared, CTRL+Shift+V not working
There was previously an option to Paste with Formatting and Paste Without Formatting, and after recent updates, the options have disappeared and paste functioning is working incorrectly. I used both of these functions for various reasons, and would greatly appreciate it coming back! I could use CTRL+Shift+V to paste without formatting, or, if I clicked into a text box and right clicked, there were for options: Cut | Copy | Paste | Paste Without Formatting. Now, only the first three appear as options and I've lost the fourth function. There are times when I WANT to paste with formatting, though…

Opening (book) document of same name but different path overwrites existing open file
Finalizing a book with 15 chapters, each about 15 - 30 pages (total 505 pages in book). Have several different versions, in separate folders; all with same file names and book names. Recently discovered that some files in the "FINAL" folder had been overwritten with earlier versions.
Is is sporadic and I have not been able to fully duplicatie. Looks like if A/chapter1 is open and then B/chapter1 is opened, A/chapter1 is overwritten with the content from B/chapter1. Something also occurs that causes A/chapter1 to get flagged as "possibly damaged" when next opened.
I cannot tell if this occurs only…

Id CC 2022 pdf export and assemblage issue + links not displaying correctly
Indesign, version 2022 17.2.1. / Mac Monterey version 12.3.1.
My file's links are not displaying correctly when viewing in high quality. Photos all appear black/gray streaked (see attached files).
They only display correctly when the display is standard.
Then, and this is the biggest problem, I can't export pdf or do assembly. When I try to export a pdf, I get the following error message: "This document contains links to files or URLs that are not accessible. Please check your network connectivity or the original source of the content."
But all my files are linked, there is no error on…3 votes -
Preflight bug for non-proportional scaling glyphs text
Still, I think it's either a bug with preflight or at least an unexpected behavior of the preflight function.
Preflight had an error with the first insertion point after the auto bullet; not with a specific character.
At least it says that the error is related to the bullet, but it is showing an insertion point only when I click to select the error on the page.FWIW: At least the individual information on the shown error is highly misleading.
Problem is described here and ID sample with the problem available at this address: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/new-problem-with-non-proportional-scaling/m-p/12903503#M474837

story editor
Using Indesign 17.2 on x64 PC. Brand-new machine with fresh install.
To reproduce the issue open the story editor then close it.
Expected result: The story editor closes and I can resume working in the main document window immediately.
Actual result: When I close the story editor, the window disappears but all the tools on the toolbar, except the text tool, remain greyed out and I can't do anything in the main document for around 30 seconds.

User Interface half in English (default) and half in Russian
When I go to my drop-down menu one of them is in Russian.
The only issue I have found is with the dropdown under Type (English) > Text Variable (English) > Insert Veriable (Russian). Only in Russian on some documents I open, not all.
I updated my InDesign to v 17.21 today.

InDesign 2022 mising table strokes after opening the idml file
After opening idml files in InDesign 2022 (v. 17.2) some table strokes are set to 0 pt while they should be stroked at 1 pt. There's no such issue with InDesign 2021 which opens the idml correct. Any ideas are welcomed.

Convert Footnotes and Endnotes problem and a bonus scripting problem with special characters
Indesign 17 on MacOs 12.3.1
Convert Footnotes and Endnotes does not work when the footnotes does not have a footnote number.
I have an Indesign document with footnotes.
In each footnote I have removed the footnote number and the following tab character. (~F\t)I need these footnotes to be endnotes but this is not possible with the command "Convert Footnotes and Endnotes".
Without the footnote number in the footnotes the command/script does not recognise the footnotes as being footnotes.
They are however still footnotes and I can continue working with them as footnotes and also address them via scripting but…

PDF export fails when placed svg has a smlns:sxlink attribute
There's an error in exporting to PDF from Indesign when you have an SVG placed, and that SVG contains an smlns:sxlink attribute - this makes it impossible to create the PDF (and thus, use the software to create your document).
The 'PDF export failed' error message doesn't give any info on how to fix the issue. And the default .svg export from Illustrator adds in that .svg attribute... so I create my graphics in Illustrator... but then they prevent my InDesign file from creating documents! Not great.
If you remove the part that says:
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"Then the opening…

Out of a blue, white text on colour background stopped showing in exported pdf's. InDesign 17.2
It is the same exact document I exported into pdf 12 days prior with no issues. NOTHING has been changed other than the background colour & tracking of the paragraph style. And NO, this is NOT an overprint issue, I have read that thread through. And NO, this is NOT a version issue either, the same exact version. I could not get this report through with screenshots attached.
And oh, this is not only a pdf-related issue, it's the same thing with exported jpg.
