1. Bug: Find/replace fonts doesn't work on hidden conditional text

   Version: Indesign 17.x
   Problem: when opening a document that reports a missing fonts, replacing all instance with "Replace all" buttons might not work or not replace all when the text is conditional and currently hidden.
   It's understandable that "Find first" cannot work on hidden text, because that would mean to reveal it, but "Replace" all wouldn't jump to any text part in the document, so it should work.

2. Crash when smart reflowing a document with many anchored text boxes

   Indesign is freezing/crashing when smart text reflow is used to reflow the document. Other documents are fine. This document is unique in that it contains many anchored text boxes and decimal tabs.

   I am using InDesign 15.0.2

   All I must do to crash InDesign is 1) open the document, 2) place my cursor between two of the inline anchored text boxes, 3) add a paragraph return (creating overset text which should be reflowed automatically).

   See attached screenshot of one-page document.

3. Unable to create text anchor from text with an apostrophe in it.

   Anytime I create a text anchor out of a piece of copy with an apostrophe in it (ex. What's New) and use it as the destination for a button or hyperlink, the interactive PDF does not redirect to the anchor. My workaround has been to select everything but the word with the apostrophe in it, but I would love to see this fixed in the next version.

4. [ID-4261000]Hebrew Text with Vowel Points Reorders Incorrectly When Pasted from InDesign to Word

   When keying (or importing) Hebrew text, InDesign often misplaces vowel points when two or more vowel points are attached to a single base character unless the base character and vowel points are keyed in a specific order. I don't totally understand it, but it has something to do with Unicode normalization. Microsoft Word gets around this problem, but I can't say how. It would be nice, however, if InDesign could get around it, too.

   One Hebrew font, SBL Hebrew, has written Unicode features (?) to prevent the normalization problem, but most fonts cannot do this on their own in InDesign. Times New Roman, for example, sets fine in Word, but the same file in InDesign shows vowel points displaced. The user guide for SBL Hebrew (available easily online) explains the problem better than I can.

   Thanks for considering addressing this behavior.

5. Dragging the mouse to select text randomly moves the entire sheet

   When dragging the mouse to select text in a text box it would sometimes move the entire page and pasteboard to the left or right when reaching the text box frame. This is a very old, extremely annoying behavior. It exists at least since CS4.
   The biggest question: why does it move at all?

7. Text not active after clicking on pdf markup comment panel

   After clicking on the comment in the pdf comments panel, and applying the comment (or selecting the comment after auto-applying), sometimes I have to click again in the actual text frame to start typing any adjustments i need to make. It would be great if I could just type in the text frame after clicking on the comment, without having to again click in the text frame.

8. Auto-Size Frames create Overset Text when scaled or embedded

   Indd 2022 (German), v 17.4.2.77

   A recurring Bug: when auto-size text frames are embedded into each other and then placed from CC Libraries into a document and/or the included paragraph styles are updated, the frame collapses and creates overset Text.

   Similarily, the frames sometimes expland to ridiculous sizes. Usually, this can be "fixed" by typing in a new character and then deleting it, causing the frame to reevaluate its size. However it severely impacts the usability of our standard assets.

   Another issue: if a text frame is set to "auto-size" and there are borders set within the text frame, it will create Overset Text after scaling. The frame has to be fit to content anew to get rid of it. This should not happen.

9. anchor

   1) Version of Adobe InDesign: CC 2018 (latest release)

   2) Steps to reproduce the issues:
   i) Create a text box with type tool. Enter text.
   ii) Create a text field with "buttons and forms" or insert a picture.
   iii) Anchor text field (or picture) to the end of the text in the text box.
   iv) Drag text box into Articles panel.
   v) Ensure "Include Article" is selected.
   vi) Select "use for reading order in tagged PDF" in Articles panel menu.
   vii) Export to PDF (save as interactive is using the text field).

   3) Expected result:

   Text field (or picture) will be tagged (probably within the P tag)

   4) Actual result:

   Text field (or picture) is not tagged.

   The text field (or picture) only tags if they are not anchored and are placed individually in the articles panel.

   When exporting to tagged PDF without use of the Articles panel, the anchored picture will tag, but the anchored text field will not tag. The text field will only tag if it is not anchored.

10. InDesign CC 2018 ME text frame problem

    InDesign CC ME 2018

    I work with international magazine. Usually I work with English text but once i a while I have to do some Arabic content. I installed Indesign CC 2018 ME on my machine and it works perfectly well except. When I create a new document in InDesign CC ME which is normal meaning reads from left to right and try to place a doc document into it text frame appears to be right to left and this issue is totally inconvenient.

12. Indesign CC 2019 Bugs(Preserve Styles and Formatting from Text and Tables)

    I usually use the inDesign to import the created word file.
    However, if I check the Preserve Styles and Formatting from Text and Tables in indesign cc 2019 and import the file, the formatting of the text will be deleted.
    This does not happen with Indesign cc 2018, but this will continue to happen in this 2019 upgrade.
    I ask you to correct this problem.

13. Using Text Wrap around objects causes InDesign to crash!

    When I apply a text wrap but only around an object, the program crashes and closes. The other text wrapping tools work fine.

    I noticed a blue cercle on the icon of text wrap around an object (see the screenshot joined). I'm not sure this is normal... maybe it would help you solve the problem...

    When I click on this tool, a windows opens (see second screenshot) and then Indesign crashes and closes.

    You can note that I am using the latest version of Indesign (16.4).

    Thank you very much for your help.

14. Interaction between Text Wrap, Optical Margin Alignment and Numbered List

    When a text frame with activated Optical Margin Alignment containing numbered list wraps around another text frame the numbering is incorrectly aligned. The affected numbers noticeably stick outside of the text frame and thus create unpleasant left margin. Only numbering on wrapped lines is affected, numbering below the wrap behaves as expected.

    Similarly, if the text frame is modified so as its border lays entirely outside of the area affected by wrapping offset, the optical alignment of the numbering behaves as expected. This at least provides some workaround.

    I am attaching a screenshot of the behaviour as well as a test file with described situations.

17. erratic and missing cursor in text frames

    My setup: Windows 10 Pro, InDesign CC 14.0.2 x64, Ben-Q monitor.
    My cursor behaves properly when I use the Select tool, but when I use the Type tool, the cursor becomes very tiny outside of a text frame. If I click within a text frame, a vertical cursor blinks. However, to maneuver within the text frame, I need to use the cursor keys on my keyboard! I've tried changing the cursor settings for my system and restarting my computer to no avail. Please do not tell me to "trash" my preferences. I've spent a lot of time setting up a new document. Also, one past suggestion for similar bug reports was to change the system font size to 124%. The recommendation for my monitor is 250%. This bug is really slowing me down. Please advise.

18. When importing tables through tagged text, formatting inexplicably and erratically lost; extra hard returns inserted

    1. Adobe InDesign 20.5
    2. Flow the attached .txt files (tagged text) into an InDesign file. you'll need paragraph styles "TABC", "TABH1", "TABTX", and "TAB" (the paragraph for the table). You'll also need table style "TAB" and a cell style "tabtx".
    3. The last cell in table 19.2 should be empty—no hard return. The the text in row 2, column 3 of table 19.4, "katab" should be italic.
    4. There's a hard return in the last cell of table 19.2; any text in cell R2C3 in table 19.4 is not ital (but note that the text in table 19.2 at R2C3 is italic as expected.
    5. See the attached tagged text and Word files as well as the attached screen shot.

    When importing tagged text, I am seeing some formatting—like italic—dropped, and I'm also seeing extra hard returns inserted in the last cell of the table. These problems seem to be intermittent and unpredictable. For example, in a cell with this text

    <CellStart:><ParaStyle:TAB_TX><cTypeface:Italic>katab<cTypeface:><CellEnd:>

    "katab" is not being italicized, but in a cell with this text

    <CellStart:><ParaStyle:TAB_TX><cTypeface:Italic>qəṭál<cTypeface:><CellEnd:>

    "qəṭál" is italicized just fine.

    If I copy and paste the "qəṭál" cell into the first file replacing the "katab" cell, "qəṭál" is not italicized. I've attached the tagged text and Word files for each.

    The other weird thing I'm seeing is a hard return inserted in an otherwise empty last cell in the table. You can see it in the table 19.4 file.

    If it helps, I can upload the InDesign template as well.

20. Control bar disappears from view when switching applications in cc 2018

    When I switch from an application back to InDesign cc 2018 the control bar/panel will sometimes disappear. The only way I can get it back is to change workspace to "Essentials" and then return it to my custom workspace. This did not happen with InDesign cc 2017.

    My specs are as follows:
    OS 10.11.6 (15G1510)
    iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)
    4 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
    AMD Radeon R9 M390 2048 MB
