1. Paragraph border and shading error with anchored objects

   when anchored objects (such as column Text or line numbers) are anchored in a Text using the options "Paragraph border" and "paragraph Shading" the borders and Shades will "randomly" disappear, or new border-lines will appear (when more then one paragraphs are merged, the lines always appear between the different styles, even though they work fine again when the object is de-anchored). Sometimes the appearance doesn't change when an object is anchored, but when the anchored object is edited (for example, when the size of the anchored object is changed).

   This is reproducable on my Windows 10, using InDesign 15.1.4.
   Steps:
   - create a new document
   - create a paragraph styles using paragraph borders/ paragraph shading
   - create 1 or 2 more styles, based on the previously defined style
   - create an object-style using "benutzerdefiert" (individual?) - positioning
   - anchor 2 or 3 objects in the shaded text/ the text with borders

   The problem also sometimes appears when an object is anchored in a text using Paragraph border/ shading, when text anywhere else in the same story is edited.

   This issue continues to be seen in a PDF, which makes it really hard to have a stable document using this paragraph style options.

2. Source Sans Pro latest version's properties have changed

   The latest version of Source Sans pro (version 3.006) appears to start lower down text frames than the previous version did which messes up months worth of existing projects. When I go to edit the copy, it all shifts down the text box by a few millimetres.

   In the attached image you can see two of the same text boxes - one is correct, and one has shifted down due to the font updating.

   I've spoken with InDesign support who said to log the issue here.

   As a temporary fix I have downloaded version 2.040 of the font from Github and this works perfectly.

3. InDesign not exporting chunks of tags

   Happening in multiple documents. Some of these documents were originally created by other people and some documents I have created from scratch.

   Set up indd file for accessibility. Everything done correctly: all text boxes linked, all tags applied, articles created, articles have "Use for Tagging Order in Tagged PDF" checked. And yet, whole pages of the document are not tagged at all in the pdf.

   I go over the said pages with a fine tooth comb and there is nothing I can see that would stop them from exporting tags. Only solution I've found is to recreate the text box and reflow the copy or, in some cases, create two single text boxes instead of a 2 column text box.

   Considering that I have to work on some long documents sometimes, this troubleshooting can be painful and time consuming.

4. 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 from scratch. (tested in v. 20.1, but also caused issues in older versions)

   • Actions logged appear to update/condense/disappear when switching to and from the Type tool. For example, if I create a text frame, enter some text, and then apply a stroke, the “Create text frame” option is no longer visible in the history panel, nor can it be undone with undo. If I create a 2nd text frame, all the previous steps for the first text frame disappear. Because “open” remains as the first action, it appears as if no other new actions were completed, but this is entirely false. Losing the ability to undo one’s actions is a serious hindrance. Undo history should not be cleared until the document is closed. I have also noticed there is sometimes a significant lag when switching to and from the text tool, and I suspect it has something to do with this. (tested in v. 20.1, did not notice before)

   • Many actions logged are too vague to identify, especially when multiple instances of the same action occur. It would be ideal if, instead of “Typing,” one would see “Typing 123…” Link updates could include a right click option to jump to the affected link. Alternately, selecting a step could select the affected text or object, or a page number could be made visible in the panel. It would also be helpful to save a thumbnail at certain points. (in all versions I have used, current version is 20.1)

5. Bug: When mapping styles to tags and overriding all parent page items text boxes resize on M1 macbook pro

   This bug only happens on my M1 Max MacBook pro. I have InDesign (17.2.1) fully updated to the latest version and my MacBook is also fully updated to the latest version. I have had this issue on previous versions since having the M1 mac. This also happens when overriding all parent page items.

   When I map styles to tags it resizes some of the text boxes. I have an iMac pro that I have tested this on and it doesn't happen. I have also had other people open it on various apple computers and it isn't an issue.

   I have also noticed it when opening some InDesign files that were created in the same InDesign version just on non-M1 chip computers. There is no consistency with these, so I can't give specifics.

   When printing files from InDesign, we are experiencing issues. Random text is appearing bold that is not formatted as bold in the original working file. Also we are experiencing pictures imported that are pdfs as a black block and not showing the imported picture on the printed document. Do you have any recommendations on how this can be resolved? The only way we found to get around the matter is to create a pdf and print from the pdf. This issue has just been happening recently, we’ve never had this issue before.

8. Texts automatically in registration mark colour

   since installing version 17.3 or maybe earlier, every time you make a new text field the colour of the text is automatically in registration marks colour. Why is that? It used to be automatically black. I already checked the portrayal of black, it is set to be correct.
   I wish you would change it back to be automatically black, this is causing problems in printing especially if you're not careful enough when checking your document.

   Sorry my Interface is in german i hope you can still follow the recording.

10. Slow & stuttering performance since using 4K monitor

    Hi

    I've recently upgraded to a Dell UP2720Q 4K monitor.
    Since the upgrade i've notices that inDesign has become nearly unusable, Its slow when selecting objects, editing text, moving things around...

    When moving Indesign to my second monitor (eizo s2433w) the problem goes away.

    The only fix I have found is to change the display profile to "Apple RGB" in the display settings. This fixes the problem immediately, but now the colours look horrible...

    I've also notices this problem with other Adobe apps like, illustrator and photoshop. But Indesign seems to have the worst of it.

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server :
       Indesign 15.0.2 on a MAC PRO 2013 macOS 10.15.4

    2. Steps to reproduce the issues:
       Using a 4K monitor (Dell UP2720Q)

    3. Expected result:
       Normal performance

    4. Actual result:
       Slow & stuttering performance

    ps; My colleugue has the same DELL Monitor, using it on a Imac 2019. But he has no problems.

11. endnotes hyperlinks

    Endnote hyperlinks are not working both ways.
    
    (1) I can go from text to the endnote by clicking on the endnote number in the text.
    
    (2) However, I can not go back to the text from the endnote by clicking on the endnote number. This is because the endnote number has been modified - font type, font size, and indents.

13. Words in placed document become bold after certain characters

    When we place text from a Word file, we always strip it of all existing layout. But for some reason there are some weird unicode characters that cause Indesign to make certain words bold... I'm not able to figure out why... you have a French text where a word starts with a e with an accent like ê and that word is suddely bold... even though in the Word file it isn't.

    This also happens with Italics... I once had a text that used transliteration for Ancient Egyptian that is in italic and often starts with a "Ankh" symbol: Ꜥ with the full hiëroglyph being translated as: Ꜥ-n-ḫ.

    Indesign will flip out on this... in the end we had to replace all the Ankh symbols for @ symbols, place the text to Indeisgn and switch them back.

    Also had it once for Greek text, where words randomly become bold or italic after you place them in Indesign.

    When these symbols are in the middle of words, it's fine, but when words start with these symbols, weird stuff tends to happen when you place them in Indesign. Has been doing that for years. It's weird.

14. Source Serif Pro font baseline not consistent

    I'm using Indesign 15.0 on MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) running Mojave version 10.14.6

    I'm experiencing a bug with the Source Serif Pro font , which I use extensively in a particular project.

    I open an existing document, and the text in Source Serif Pro looks as you'd expect it to. When I start to edit the text however, it all jumps down as if the baseline settings of the text frame has been changed (although checking in the settings confirms they haven't been).

    Copying and pasting the frame, or the text into a new frame, doesn't help.

    It only happens with Source Serif Pro (all weights) - if I change the font, even to other Adobe Fonts it doesn't happen. It also happens in new documents.

    It may be worth mentioning that a colleague works on the same Indesign files on a PC (we share the files via Dropbox) but he doesn't experience the issue.

    We both share another related bug with Source Serif Pro in that quotation marks just display as 'straight' even though 'use typographer's quotes' is turned on in preferences. This can't be fixed through the Glyphs panel either.

    My feeling is it's something to do with this particular font being used a lot over 2 different platforms.

    Thanks

    Hi
    We are looking into the issue.
    Seems there is some discrepancy in font information of the font present in Typekit and that on Google fonts.

    Resolved For User  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

    In your example, the paragraph ‘Introduction: My Life…’ and ‘Update’ use the same Paragraph Style and the setting ‘Space Between Paragraphs Using Same Style’ is set to 0p0. That’s why the Space After setting of 1p4 is having no effect.
    To make it to work, change the ‘Space Between…’ back to its default setting of ‘Ignore’.
    Hope this helps.

17. HarfBuzz introduced in v2024 is not honouring the spacings properly

    Harfbaaz text engine is not taking care of spacings properly specially when using Arabic or Urdu script. Files attached before and after. Without harfbaaz, settings look more natural. On tweaking the settings further does not make much difference.

18. Save functions unavailable

    I'm using a Mac and running Catalina, have ID 2020. Yesterday, an existing file of 33 pages stopped allowing me to save it. I had no idea it wasn't saving and lost hours worth of work by the time I realized what was happening. I tried starting a new document and pasting the text into it, but same problem. I started a new document again and it allowed me to save immediately, but the second I dropped in text (different text this time), I lost the ability to save the file. I can export to PDF or IDML, but cannot simply save the file.

19. cursor stuck on hand

    My system has just updated InDesign to 19.1 (08/01/24) and I now have a grabber hand cursor appearing every time I try and click on anything in my file.

    This also happens if I have another tool selected such as text box. The tool icon appears but if I click on a text box the hand comes back. It's rendered doing anything in InDesign files useless. I can't find a setting for it and I have tried resetting preferences but it is still happening. My computer system is running Ventura 13.6.

    Does anyone have a work around?

20. Lao Line Breaking Support

    I'm working on a major project using the Lao language and InDesign. The Lao text is not flowing correctly in InDesign. There are addons that provide these features (LaoScript), but there isn't native InDesign support, from what I can tell.

    Lao text does not seem to properly word wrap. Many professionals use zero-width-spaces in Lao to create invisible 'spaces' between words so that applications properly word wrap. However, this has significant drawbacks and makes it harder for Lao people to use and edit their language because editing text with invisible characters is difficult (especially on mobile, but PCs as well).

    As one of the members of the team who helped bring Lao support to ICU (International Components for Unicode), I know that there is support for Lao that doesn't require much work, assuming you all are already using ICU to process text in InDesign. Adobe is listed on ICU's project page as a major user of this library.

    So... I would like to request this feature be turned on to properly support Lao text wrapping and word tokenization with non-zero-width-space delimited phrases in Lao.

    Here's an excerpt from the Lao Bible:

    ເມື່ອພຣະເຈົ້າຊົງເລີ້ມຕົ້ນ (5 words, no spaces, no ZWSPs)

    ເມື່ອ ພຣະເຈົ້າ ຊົງ ເລີ້ມ ຕົ້ນ (same 5 words separated by spaces)

    I know that there are organizations who swear by ZWSPs (and for good reasons), and do not prefer automatic Lao word tokenization. It might be nice to also provide a mechanism to manually disable this feature for text/frames/documents, assuming the user wants greater control of line breaking in Lao (Thai or Khmer too). But, otherwise, out-of-the-box, have the feature on so that it lowers the barrier of entry for Lao people wishing to use InDesign.

    Chrome and LibreOffice are two applications that already support Lao word tokenization out of the box, and more text is available at https://laobible.sea-sda.org if you need some tools/text to test against.

    Thanks!
