Extend conditional text
Conditional text is a nice feature, but only applies to text parts or paragraph. It can be used to show/hide images and tables in flow text, but it also be nice to hide single rows in a table being marked as conditional.

Drop shadow is not updating after text is changed.
After giving a text box saying "New Music" a drop shadow, I duplicated the field and changed the text to Limewire. The drop shadow behind it did not change.
I've set the distance to farther than it was before to demonstrate it more clearly, also showing that the problem is not fixed after attempting to refresh it by changing settings.

text wrap
InDesign 16.1v64
Text Wrap controls behave different with transformed objects.
At first I was going to report this as a bug and saw one other post where they were having the same issue but then I realized what is really going on so I'm making a suggestion.
Look at the Text Wrap for an Image object with the controls unlinked.
I was seeing the bottom control affecting the right side. And the Right side control affecting another side.
After some research I realized this was only happening on the images I'd imported and rotated 90 degrees.

Adding anchored frame to the text corrupts the text
Hello there,
We have noticed this problem while dealing with Arabic/Persian/Urdu text (regardless of the fonts used). English text works just fine.
When anchored framed is inserted, the vowels in the Arabic/Persian/Urdu text and sometimes evens the characters in the text shift. The foreign text is typically perfectly fine prior to inserting the anchored object however changes. See before and after examples:1 vote -
Can't accept "highlighted" text (with replacement text) using Import PDF Comments
For years I have taught my clients to not use insert or strike through, simply because they are hard to see and click on, especially on a laptop. I much prefer the old school way, highlighted text, with an attached replacement text. Now with Import PDF comments, I see them but can't accept them. Can you make that work?

Text Frame Autosize
Hello,
I tried to update a Text Frame Object style to have the Text Frame Autosize Height and Width but it squishes the text box as thin and possible. But it repects the existing text without squishing when it's only Autosize Width. I've noticed it before but it's an interesting bug. I did play around with the placement reference point but it all stayed squished. Not a major bug and it could be user error on my part if there is a setting elsewhere I need to click to get it to just resize the text box to fit the…1 vote -

Ongoing Overset Text Error
No matter where I paste the over-set text in whatever sized text box, that text box will then carry the exact same over-set text error. I click once to paste the text on a page so that it will automatically adjust for space, but still it carries over the same error.

spinning beach ball when clicking into text box
When clicking on a text box to edit text or move box, spinning beach ball delays response by 5 seconds to over a minute. Happens with text tool or select tools. Only way to solve this issue is to work offline. My internet is fine. I use many other apps besides indd and do not have delay issues. Never had a problem prior to the integration of Typekit in most recent versions. MacOS 10.14.3.
Attached are some screen grabs showing recent freezes. Spinning beach ball is not visible, but that's what I am seeing. Thank you for your attention.6 votes -

Text engine buffer breaks if text contains diacritics
I regularily edit pages with fairly long text in Icelandic, a language which uses diacritics quite a bit. If the text gets to be more than a few hundred words, the text engine buffer starts acting up, especially when using accents. It will enter two or more accents in addition to the intended accented letter, sometimes mangling the order of letters too, always being laggy too. This is NOT a new problem, but I feel it has become much more pronounced in CC 2018.
In the attached screenshot the intended text "fréttastjóra að gefa því" has appeared as "´fr´´éttastj´ór´a að…

Cannot place text in columns or flow text
I try to place my manuscript from a Google doc and tried Word doc, but it does not put the text in the columns or flow it. It has created more pages but it put the text only at left pages or not at all. I DO WANT the text like in my A-master with two columns to flow in these columns. The shift-click does not work. I do not get a snake arrow... The settings for flow text is on. I have chosen primary text frames...I am a newby but I can´t get any support.

Lagging/text doubling when changing paragraph styles
When changing paragraph styles the remaining text moves, but kind of doesn't refresh without me clicking away from the frame with the cursor or zooming in. What happens is I get double text which is confusing. Crashing is happening too at this point.

Tagged Text file import randomly places URLs throughout text
I can't import an InDesign Tagged Text file without getting randomly inserted footnote URLs placed throughout the text and all footnote links being broken.
Since I'm working on a book and have hundreds of footnotes, I thought AITT would be my best option for backing up and recovering chapter text.
