1. InDesign online help lacks an important point (bug in help text, not in the app)

   You should mention in the online help text at https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/frames-objects.html#object_export_options_cc_cs6_cs5_5 that a vector object's alt text will not be included in the epub file unless you also set the export settings to rasterize the object. (Basically: you can't include a vector object to an epub file in a vector format. Not even it's alt text.)

5. Apple text replacement does not work in indesign

   Mac M2
   Sonoma 14.2
   Indesign 19.0.1

   Mac text replacement does not work in Indesign nor Illustrator.

   How can I change this? What is blocking this in the Adobe programs?

   (EXAMPLE: on every other program on the Mac when I type wf, it replaces it with the word wayfinding)

6. Spacing text is different in InDesign 2021

   When opening a document in version 2021 which is created in 2020, the text looks exactly the same, but when you try to change the spacing of a word, the whole alinea is recreating a whole new spacing. Looks like it has something to do with metric, but it's really annoying. Spacing one word means re-spacing the whole alinea. Anyone else experienced the same?

9. Footnote reference disappears when adding Unicode 1D513 into line

   I am using InDesign 14.0.2.

   We are a book publisher, and we sometimes use a special character in some of our academic work: a gothic P—the Unicode character 1D513 (Mathematical Fraktur Capital P). See: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1d513/index.htm

   However, it does something very wonky with footnotes, which seems to be a bug. If we insert this character—Unicode 1D513—in the same line as a footnote reference, it makes the footnote reference disappear. The footnote stays in place. We have tried different fonts, but it doesn't seem to be font dependent. However, if it is in the same line, but after the footnote reference, it still appears. So it seems to be some strange interplay of this unicode character and the footnote references.

   I don’t know if there are any other characters that do this, but it doesn’t seem to be font dependent. The only way we are able to make the footnote reappear is to make the paragraph use the Adobe Paragraph Composer, instead of the Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer. However, this too is a problem because the paragraphs that use this particular Unicode character often have other languages in them as well, such as Hebrew, and we need the World-Ready Paragraph composer on to make those work, so we can’t just switch that so easily.

   See the attached InDesign document for an example of what happens. You’ll notice the special character P is right before the second footnote, but it is completely invisible, while still being “there.”

   I don’t know if this bug goes beyond this particular Unicode character or not, but it seems strange that InDesign footnotes are not playing well with it.

   Thanks for your help.

   I have an InDesign file if you need a sample, but the uploaded won't let me attach it. Can I email it to someone?

10. Random text appears in the filename field when editing filenames during Save As

    1. ID 14.0.1, OS 10.14.2
    2. Save as. When dialog appears, filename is highlighted so that it can be edited. Use RIght arrow key to put cursor at end of filename to append text.
    3. Expected result, which occurs about 90% of the time, is that the cursor moves to the end of the filename and you can enter text.
    4. Actual result, about 10% of the time, is that pressing the Right arrow key erases the entire filename in the field and replaces it with the words "Adobe Stock".

    (Another version of this error occurs in the exact same scenario with Illustration 2019, except in that program the filename is replaced with a bunch of svg code instead).

11. Insertion point with more than one text style range

    An insertion point can have more than one TextStyleRange, e.g.

    InsertionPoint.textStyleRanges.length // Result: 779

    These are the TextStyleRanges of the entire text (of the story) that follows the insertion point.

    Expected is one TextStyleRange for one InsertionPoint.

13. Ungrouping deletes all items

    Using Adobe InDesign CC up-to-date on a PC running Windows 10.

    1. Ungrouped group of text boxes + image boxes.
    2. All text in boxes disappeared but outlines remained. However in the layers you could see that they were deleted.

    Strangely enough, by deleting a different hidden layer, I could ungroup the group and they would not be deleted.

    Definitely the weirdest InDesign bug I've seen to date.

    Any help would be appreciated!!

14. Text wrap around anchored objects needs to work according to settings. It is inconsistent and erratic.

    Text wrap refuses to wrap properly around my anchored objects regardless of anchor placement in the paragraph or text wrap offset settings.

    This causes the object to overlap the text and/or have inconsistent margin offset around the object. It's erratic and inconsistent among the various objects, even though they all have the exact same object style applied.

    Some of the objects wrap a little better than others - at least they're not overlapping on top of text - but the wrap margins are still inconsistent. Not a single object wraps how I believe it should based on the style attributes I set.

    InDesign SHOULD be able to do this!

    PLEASE NOTE: I created an object style that includes text wrap and object anchoring attributes. The attached screenshots show the text wrap problem and the style settings for the anchored objects. (I set the transparency of the objects so that you can see the text behind them.)

    Please, please resolve!

16. "O" button popup is blocking use of small text box anchorpoint.

    This problem happens when attempting to resize small rectangle text boxes (smaller than .9") with the bottom/center anchorpoint. When clicking directly on the anchorpoint, instead of being able to drag it up or down to resize, a small pop-up box appears by the "O" symbol that has a check box for "All Small Caps." this disallows me to resize. I'm not clicking the "O." I'm clicking directly on the bottom/center anchorpoint.

    This problem affects my workflow every time I use Indesign. I have to instead use the top anchorpoint and reposition. Please reconfigure where the "O" button appears on a text box because it gets in the way of the bottom/center anchorpoint on so many text boxes.

17. Non Breaking Space is smaller than regular space when text is full justified with Adobe World ready Paragraph Composer

    1. Adobe InDesign Middle Eastern Version, 2019-2020

    Non Breaking Space is smaller than regular space when text is full justified with Adobe World ready Paragraph Composer

    1. Steps to reproduce the issues
       2.1 Create a paragraph with some lines
       2.2. Define it with: Paragraph pannel>Justification>Composer>Adobe World Ready Paragraph Composer
       2.3 Full justify the Paragraph and change one space to non breaking space.

    2. Expected result
       Non breaking space should be the same width like all the spaces in the same line.

    3. Actual result
       Non Breaking Space is smaller than regular space in the same line

    4. Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)

    There is no workaround unless the document is not in Hebrew and then you can choose the Adobe paragraph Composer instead of the World ready Paragraph composer.

19. In the latest update 15.1 - text and graphics of previous files display pixelated

    I ran the latest 15.1 update to InDesign. I opened several existing file all with text and graphics (images and placed EPS files). In each file, either the text appears aliased and the graphics look ok, OR the graphics display pixelated and poo quality but the text renders correctly. Changing the "display performance" slider make no difference.

    I opened a brand new document and typed in some text and imported a graphic and all displays correctly. But if i create a new file and copy and paste text and graphics from one of my previous files that does NOT display correctly, the issue are still apparent in the new document.

    Here is a screen capture showing how a previous file displays in 15.1:
