small caps hyphenation bug
small caps in a hyphenated text sometimes(!) change the first letter before the hyphen to a normal minuscle. See image.
As shown in the image: "zwi-schen" is correct, "Tradi-tion" (Times New Roman) resp. "Tra-dition" (Ten Oldstyle) shows the bug.

In Arabic OpenType-SVG fonts, glyphs shift seemingly randomly in all directions
In Arabic fonts with SVG table, glyphs move up, down, left, and right seemingly randomly, and typing more text or adding vowel marks change how the glyphs are shifted.
If the fonts are processed to remove the SVG table, they work fine (but color glyphs are not colored, obviously).
Illustrator and Photoshop do not have this issue, and the font with SVG table works normally.
I tested this with https://github.com/aliftype/raqq/blob/main/fonts/Raqq.ttf as well as https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Reem+Kufi+Ink.

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 ...).

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.

[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.

line spacing / leading glitches
I often change line spacing of a single line by selecting the first character of a line and changing the line spacing. Normally, this will adjust line spacing for the one line, but I'm encountering a baffling glitch that changes the line spacing for the line under the affected bit of text where I changed the line spacing. Note that I'm changing the leading of the first character of a new paragraph line. Please see my screen record to see this in action. I have tried this with multiple fonts. I am using the most up to date version.

Unknown Script 33 (InDesign 19.5)
Hello, I'm a Type-Design and I'm currently developing a typeface and encountering an issue during the export process. When attempting to use the font in Adobe InDesign, I receive an error code "Unknown Script 33" upon selecting the font. The typeface includes two styles: plain and italic. The issue seems to be linked to the PostScript name, which varies based on how I rename it in FontLab.
Notably, the font functions correctly in InDesign when only the plain or italic file is activated individually. The problem might be related to certain TrueType metadata, as indicated by the "(OTF)" label in…

Align to decimal tab stop behavior changes to left justified if ligatures present
Indesign 19.5
Create something like a manual numbered list with the first tab set as a decimal tab stop and any word in the first line that contains a ligature.. It can be as simple as "[tab]2. fi".
Expected result is the period would align where the decimal tab stop is set. This will happen up until a ligature is introduced.
Once a ligature is present on the first line, the decimal tab stop behaves like a left-justified tab stop instead.

Is this a text wrap problem or something else??
I use InDesign 2022. My Text wrap is set to 'none'.
When I open a new text box it’s automatically applying a 1" a white space top and bottom that is the width of the text box. Also a 1/4" white space to each side of the box, that is the height of the text box. These 'white panels' (I hesitate to call them text wraps) blank out other text boxes and photos, but sometimes the text from the underlying text box shows through. Bringing the photo to the front can help where a photo is concerned.
This is especially…

Running Header issue with anchored textframes (for alternative titles)
If I use an anchored textframe to have abbreviated versions of the headlines as running head, they override every following trigger until the end of the story.
I use character styles as trigger set to 'last on page'.
Please fix this. (Or configure a better way for customizable running headers. Preferable in combination with the table of content)
