undesired text reflow
When anchoring an object to which text wrap has been applied, the text in the paragraph receiving the anchor reflows in an undesired manner, affecting layout in minute but important ways. Trying to fit book copy around an image without creating spaciness within the shortened lines is hard enough without having all one's adjustments made null when the text shifts due to an anchor that has nowhere else it can be placed.

Text justification algorithm is *really* sloppy.
When the justification is set to "justified," when I add or delete text, text moves down from previous lines, making those earlier lines look really stretched out with huge spaces. This happens constantly. It looks really bad, and there's no logical reason for it.
This happens whether "Hyphenate" is on or off.
Each line of text should always hold as many words as it can hold (without shrinking anything to fit). What happens on any later line should never cause any change in previous lines.
I'm using InDesign v. 19.3 x64 in Windows.

When language is set to Polish, InDesign insert American ("") instead of Polish quotes („”)
This is very annoying thing. Could you please fix it? (In InDesign CS6 it worked like a charm ;) ).
I'm using the newest InDesign (19.4 x64) and Windows 11 (23H2)

Conflict - when I select "e" and I would like to change it to "ę" (Polish special character) with right alt+e, InDesign opens Export dialog.
Please, remove the Export dialog in this particular situation, this is super annoying.

eyedropper tool
Since 19.4 the eyedropper tool doesn't work as it should for at least picking up a character style and 'paste' its character style onto one or more words. This is when no text is selected.
When text IS selected, I can pick up a character style from some text that is styled like I want it to, and 'paste' it onto one or more other consecutive words, but not for a second time onto some other (string of) words. So only once useful. Which makes it unusable for this purpose.1 vote -
typografische Anführungszeichen-Funktion funktioniert bei einer Datei plötzlich nicht mehr
Problem: Plötzlicher Ausfall der korrekten typografischen Anführungszeichen
Guten Tag,
ich arbeite mit dem aktuellen InDesign unter Ventura.
Bei einer Datei, an der ich seit Tagen arbeite, funktioniert plötzlich die voreingestellte Funktion der automatisch korrigierten typografischen Anführungszeichen. Es werden nur noch US-Zoll-Zeichen erstellt.
Programm-Neustart sowie Rechner-Neustart helfen nicht.
Auch speichern als idml und Wiederherstellung daraus brachte keinen Erfolg.
Bei anderen, sehr ähnlichen erstellten Dateien sowie bei neuen Dokumenten funktioniert es einwandfrei.
Schließlich habe ich einen Work-Around verwendet: Im Miniatur-Modus das gesamte Dokument in eine jüngere Datei kopiert: Alles geht wieder.
Meine Frage: Was hätte ich noch (Einfacheres?) tun können? In welcher…1 vote -
Why can't the "cell style" control the height of the line in the table?
Why can't the "cell style" control the height of the line in the table?
If the "cell style" can control the height of the line, it will definitely save a lot of unnecessary operations. I wonder why it should be set manually?1 vote -
Adding words to Thai User Dictionary does not add whole word recognition
In Thai, you can add a word with or without hyphenation to the Thai language User Dictionary and that word does not become recognized as a whole word. If you double click on the word, it will still only highlight parts of the word that it recognizes as forming a word (leaving the rest of the added word not selected).
This leads to hyphenation problems because if InDesign still sees the word in three parts then it will break the word into those parts without recognizing the need to hyphenate the word.
So there needs to be a way for…

Thai Launguage and Optical margins
With Thai language and world-ready paragraph composer on InDesign 19.3, by default optical margins are enabled. but this does not produce desirable adjustments. It does hang the left margin outside just a little but it does not recalculate the line for Left Justification. So the right side become shorter by the same amount as it moved the line to the left.

Right-to-left paragraph orientation causes problems
Hello and thanks in advance to the respondents.
For several months now I have been suffering from a very annoying problem in InDesign and I have not been able to find a solution.
When I set the writing direction from right to left (using the edit menu - right to left), the arrow keys on the right and left keyboard stop responding as they should, and instead of each click the cursor moves one character to the right or left, clicking on them jumps the cursor to the beginning or end of the line.
The problem only exists when I…1 vote -
Incorrect diacritic position for some letters when using bullets
When using the latest version of Noto Sans Arabic (2.012), if bullets/numbering is enabled in InDesign for a line containing a word with a medial position jeem ج, the dot of the jeem gets out of place. If bullets/numbering are not used, then all is well. I submitted this as a bug on GitHub for the Noto Sans team, but they say it is an issue with InDesign and the layout engine. You can also see other issues on the GitHub issue at https://github.com/notofonts/arabic/issues/232.
To reproduce:
Create a text frame using the "ME Type Tool" in InDesign (for a…

Corner Options remove the Inset Spacing on a Text Box
When you create a text box with an inset spacing, if you apply a corner option, the insert spacing is removed.
To fix it, all you got to do is go to the Text Frame Options and add the inset spacing again, but it would be great if it didn't get removed in the first place.

InDesign 2024 regression: Text variable rendering breaks Google barcode font
A sequence of numbers rendered in Google's "Libre Barcode EAN13 Text" font will not work if the text is inserted via a text variable. Entering the text verbatim with the same paragraph style produces the expected result.
This is a regression in InDesign 2024. The attached IDML file works fine in InDesign 2023 v18.5 but not in InDesign 2024 v19.3.0.58.
The font can be found at https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Libre+Barcode+EAN13+Text.
(Sorry for the .idml.txt extension for the test case – this form won't let me submit .idml, .indd or .zip attachments directly.)
