Graphic Frame Text Wrap in Find/Change Object
I'm running InDesign 12.0.0.1 (2017) on mac OS 10.12.6 (Sierra). I was originally trying to write a script to automate changing text wrapping on all graphic frames in the active document to wrap to the largest area (TextWrapSideOptions.LARGEST_AREA). When I couldn't get a script that should have worked to function properly, I decided to try automating Find/Change Object queries. That's when I discovered that the manual queries weren't function. Allow me to elaborate:
Here's what I want to do:
Change the "Wrap Options > Wrap To" setting (TextWrapSideOption) for all graphic frames to "Largest Area" (…1 vote -

History panel logs issues
The history panel does not allow some actions to be undone. One is the act of stepping back several steps. As long as no new actions are done, you can step forward again, but as soon as you complete a new action, the inbetween steps disappear. The undo/redo history is also cleared; only new actions completed after that point can be undone. This is a problem because is makes it impossible to test various options and then quickly return to the original option, as I have often done in the past. Instead, the desired option must be set up again…

In InDesign CC 2019 slow Reaction Time on clicking from one object to another.
Using InDesign CC 14.0 on Windows 10. I have an magazine layout with text and picture boxes, of course. When clicking from one box to another, there is a long delay, a temporary freeze. Eventually (20-30 seconds) it awakens and I can move on. But it's happening more frequently, even after a reboot.
Is this an issue of my computer talking to Adobe servers?
Nothing to screen shot, there is no message.

Following up on the comments stating that the issue is yet not fixed, we did our investigation and found that, the issues being called out in the comment section, though maybe relevant but are different than the one for which this thread was originally created.
This particular thread caters to a very specific case which has been fixed in the last update of InDesign.
If you continue to face performance related issues with InDesign, we sincerely request you to create a separate thread so that we can categorize the performance related issues and address them completely.
In addition to track the performance issues effectively, it will also enable us to reach out to you in a organised manner when we investigate into each category of performance issues.We are extremely sorry for the troubles you are facing with InDesign and we are determined to resolve them as efficiently…

alternate layout - copy text variables (just like styles to new group)
I had a job that was originally designed to be a PDF online in color. Then at the last minute, the client asked for a B&W version for print (to keep costs down). They still weren't done editing so I made an alternate layout and checked "copy styles to new group", then made all the color adjustments to those styles and the new B&W master pages. However, I had a running header in the original version. Well, the running header on the B&W version picked up the last section head from the color version, making the B&W version incorrect. I…

story editor
Using Indesign 17.2 on x64 PC. Brand-new machine with fresh install.
To reproduce the issue open the story editor then close it.
Expected result: The story editor closes and I can resume working in the main document window immediately.
Actual result: When I close the story editor, the window disappears but all the tools on the toolbar, except the text tool, remain greyed out and I can't do anything in the main document for around 30 seconds.

Underlining out of position when text in a table cell uses a World-Ready composer
When the text in a table cell uses a World-Ready composer and is underlined, the underlining in the last line is out of position. The invisible end-of-cell mark is underlined, but the first character in the line is only partially underlined. The workaround I've been using is to add a nonjoiner character at the beginning of the line. Doing so shifts the underlining into the correct position.
- Adobe InDesign 18.2.1
- Type enought text in a table cell to fill at least two lines; justify it with either of the World-Ready composers; underline the last line of text.
- Underlining should…

Style Override Highlighter not highlighted when in use
When I make some style changes in my text, the "Style Override Highlighter" marks theses changes. Great feature, no problem at all.
But when I 1) quit InDesign and 2) start it again, the changed text is highlighted but the "Style Override Highlighter" icon [+a] is highlighted not at all.
Solution shortcurt: Click on [+a] in character style panel, then on [+a] in paragraph style panel and it should behave the way it should. But it would be better if it'd be working the way it should.

Endnote references are not importing when placing word documents
I am placing a word 365 document into InDesign 2020 with endnotes ticked to be included and the endnote references are not importing. In the past the endnote references will display in-text and a full endnote reference list will display on the last page in one text box. I have tried using 2018/2019 with the same result. This appears to be a new bug. I have attached screenshots of the Word document with endnotes displayed and the InDesign document after placing the same word document which shows the endnotes have not been imported. Also an anchored text box is…

Can't select a swatch color for text or table fills
While in an InDesign document, I can't change the color of text or fills within a table. When I click to apply, it thinks for a second, then makes a beep (the sound you hear if you have an open dialog box and you click outside of it), and then reverts back to the previously assigned color. I've tried overriding the paragraph/table styles, but hasn't worked yet. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm on version 19.5.

Sinhala text render issue
When typing or copying texts in Sinhala unicode font, the output is rendered incorrectly. For instance, "ෙ + ට +ා" must be rendered as "ටො" but in indesign it is rendered as "ටො". It does not create any difference by changing the keystroke pattern. "ෙ + ට +ා", "ට + ෙ + ා", "ෙ + ා + ට" renders the same output. I tried changing renderer to "World-ready paragraph renderer" but nothing changed in rendering.

Changes are not tracked when you copy and paste text from more than one cell into a table
This exists in all version of InDesign and InCopy.
To reproduce (see corresponding images):
a) Create a new document with a table filled with text and in InCopy set it to tr.ack changes.
b.) Copy the contents of at least two cells.
c.) Paste the contents into different cells.
d.) Initially these changes will be showed as tracked in story/galley view.
e.) When the document is saved and the reopened these changes are no longer tracked.
- The expected result is that the changes should remain tracked after the document is saved and reopened.

paragraph shading where inline table is used
Indesign all versions:
I often use pararaph shading to give my text some extra attention. I may also have tables in this text, that require the same shading. But unfortunately, that's not possible with inline tables. When I instead use inline graphics, the shading works as expected.
Seems like a bug to me!

Mongolian
Issue: InDesign does not support Mongolian vertical text direction from left-to-right.
Version: InDesign 2019, 14.0.2 x64
Steps:
1. Place or paste Mongolian text into an InDesign text frame by using the attached Word document
2. Skew the text frame 90 degrees (as done with vertical Chinese and Japanese).Expected result: Please see the attached Word document and screenshot.
Actual result: Notice that the vertical text direction is right-to-left and not left-to-right. Even if the text frame is skewed in the opposite direction (minus 90 degrees) the text is just mirrored and thus not readable.
Test files and screenshot: They are…

Khmer script justification is broken
With the CC version, having World-Ready Composer enabled, Khmer script justification is still broken. I tried to use the text with and without ZWSP, and it's all the same. There was a thread talking about it https://forums.adobe.com/message/5030301 but seems no any new update.
The justification is also broken in Photoshop CC.

Imported PDF comments on graphics transferred to text on page
- InDesign 19.0
- Add Acrobat comments to placed Illustrator graphics in an exported PDF, then import the PDF to PDF Comments in the source InDesign document.
- One would expect a warning dialog or just unmapped comments in InDesign.
- Instead, InDesign tries to map the comments elsewhere on the page.
- Screenshot shows the example I encountered with strikethrough markup. Instead of the % signs in the graphic, InDesign wants me to delete random letters and spaces in the text.
