export to text creates errors
When I export a story to text, the resulting file contains errors:
• Extra ¶ break when text starts a new column in InDesign
• No space when there was a non-standard space in InDesign, i.e. ⅓ space, en space,....1 vote -
Copy & paste within a numbered list can cause wrong numbering
If you create a numbered list which runs over 2 or more columns and copy some text within the list from one paragraph to another the numbering changes. In my example you have 2 times 1 in the list.
To make it even more crazy this only happens when you use the Adobe Single-line composer. If you work with the Adobe ParagraphComposer there's no problem at all.
If you change the text frame from 2 columns to 1 column and back the error disappears as well.

QR generated by text variable
Would be great if you could generate a QR Code from a text variable. Just for automation purposes. For instance on datasheets or brochures, where a single URL is used throughout in text, but also as a QR code on the last page.

Alignment of text box ignores anchored objects
When I have an anchored object (lets say an image) hanging at the bottom of the text box, aligning the text to the bottom of the text box will align the text only, and cuts off the image at the bottom.
I imagine this also happens to images at the top of the text box, when aligning to the top.
I think that by design, anchired objects should be calculated as part of the text box's content, and should be aligned to the bottom, as text would.
If not, it should at least be an option to choose from.Thank…

InCopy: Notes in text shifting randomly when exported as PDF.
InCopy version 18 and 19.
To recreate the issue : add a note to any point of a text paragraph in InCopy and export the document as PDF. This results in the note (yellow sticky note) shifting randomly within the PDF document.
What should happen is that the yellow sticky note should be in the area of where the note was initially anchored in InCopy, after you export it as PDF.

text lag is severe in 17.3 compared to slight lag in 17.2
Mac OS 12.5, Indesign 17.3
anything that makes text reflow: Text edits, style changes, text wrap around an object lag severely in 17.3. The more text the longer the lag. Can be multiple seconds on a single page doc up to just crashing on an edit to a 50+ page doc when reflowing text.
I have reverted to 17.2 their is still a little lag but only a second or 2.
The forum interfacer won't let me upload indesign format files so I cannot provide test files. Email me if you need them.

Honor Word Break Boundaries for Overflowing Text / Line Breaking for Non-ZWSP Text
Lao (SEA Asian) text that doesn't already have ZWSPs included, doesn't automatically line-break, even though double-select word selection shows that the ICU/HarfBuzz engine is finding them. It would be nice to be able to set for paragraphs the ability to use non-ZWSP text and have ID automatically line-break based on the ICU/HarfBuzz word boundaries.
Not all people will want this, should it should be made easy to enabled/disable, because some people use ZWSPs to manually control layout features, and don't prefer automatic word-boundary analysis.

Text box adds extra space...?
Text Boxes are adding extra space. I do not have any space after or tabs or anything else in my paragraphs.
I am very keen on having all my text boxes fit to perfect size especially for this file because I am creating a fillable form and don't want oversized text boxes. I also keep them to their size to make sure everything is perfect.
Anyone else having this issue?1 vote -
copy multiple text-frames > crash
When I try to copy more then one text-frame InDesign (latest version, Mac, El Capitan) crashes.
Sad to say that this does not happen in every document (but in more than one), so it's hard to find the cause.

As confirmed by the user, The issue is resolved.Regards

Create outlines in a document with conditional text crashes
I have four InDesign templates created, two use conditional text while the other two do not. I have no problem creating outlines of the document without the conditional text. Every time I try to create outlines of a page in a document with conditional text, I get the endless spinning wheel and have to force quit.
2 votesThe fix for this issue is now available in the latest InDesign version 15.1.
Please update to this version to get the fix.

Using glyphs in a text variable
I've defined a text variable that I use for a running header. This variable is defined from the first use of a "chapter title" paragraph style that I've also defined. I've inserted this variable on my A-master page, which is synced between documents in my book. The problem I'm running into is that I've used a number of glyphs in the text comprising the first use of that style, and the text variable (my running header) looks garbled: it's missing letters and has mixed caps. If it matters, the font I'm using is Orpheus Pro Bold.
Attached are two screenshots:…

Emptiing a text frame when making corrections
Very often, when making corrections of the text, a text frame (not the one I am working on) is emptied and the text moves one page forward creating overflowed text. In most cases it happens on the next page, but sometimes it can be some other text frame -- forward or backward. I can't tell what is the reason of this behavior because it is different every time.

Thank you for the video.
The Align/Paragraph alignment action only forces a screen redraw.
It does not solve the root problem.The issue is that text randomly disappears from the layout view while still existing in the Story Editor.
Forcing redraw via Align, Preview toggle, zoom or Story Editor proves this is a rendering bug, not a workflow issue.
This makes real-world editorial layout (magazines, multi-frame text) unreliable.
Please escalate this to the InDesign engineering team as a rendering / text redraw defect on Windows 11.

Selected text does not highlight
Selected text does not highlight on some spreads only: when I double-click inside a text frame in InDesign, the usual highlight that indicates the selection does not appear on some spreads in the document, in other it does work.
This makes the work very challenging.1 vote -
Add option to allow non-rounded inset text inside a text box with rounded corners.
Please add an option to allow inset spacing on a text box with rounded corners to follow the rectangular shape of the box, rather than the shape of the rounded corners.
ie. Make it act like the example on the left of my image, rather than like the right, which is the current behaviour.

Page-jump dialog disappears, leaving ID non-interactive
On three occasions since installing CC 2019, I've:
selected [command+j] to jump to a page
had the page-jump dialog appear, grab focus, and then immediately disappear
this has left InDesign in a non-interactive state, where I have to force-quit.

The numbered portion of a heading in its own frame cannot be included in conditional text
Windows 10 InDesign version 13.1 x64 (CC up-to-date)
I created a sequentially numbered head using bullets and numbering in Style editor. Placed the head in its own frame at the top of a page (# mark at the end of the head). Selected the head (variously using click-drag and 4-click) Only the directly entered text highlighted - not the numbered portion, not the # symbol. I applied a text condition. When the condition was made invisible, the directly-entered text disappeared as expected, but the numbered portion of the text ("Section 9:") did not. Numerous attempts to select the numbered portion…1 vote
