Missing info in text panel
Suddenly all information in the text panel is gone. I had it working a couple of minutes ago but cannot get it back. The information is up in the head of the workplace but not on the panel. Pls look at the screen shot to what is missing.

Important message about pasting text with endnotes appears at wrong time
Pasting text with endnote(s) does not show a message. You instead get that message the NEXT time you paste an object, even if that object is not a text box containing endnote(s).
There is also a grammar error in the message, where the word "and" should be ", which" — and there is no period at the end of the sentence.
This has been in many versions of InDesign. I am using 17.1 now.
Reproduce:
- Copy text with endnote(s) to the clipboard
- Paste text into a new thread
- Text pastes properly; a new page is added for…1 vote -
Indesign 2020 intolerable lag of up to 10 seconds when switching from selection to text tools
Since the latest update, InDesign has extensive trouble switching from selection to text tools. This appears to be exacerbated by having more than one layout file open. I'm running Windows 10 Pro, i9 system with 64GB of ram. I've reinstalled, deleted preferences, reduced fonts installed, deactivated preflight, deactivated opentext options bug on boxes. The problem is very repeatable and proving a major work disruption.

BUG: spell-checker not automatically applied after pasting text
When pasting text into a new frame, the correct language (german 2006 in my case) for spellchecker is selected, but not applied to the new text. I need to select the the text and choose a different language for spell-check and then change back to the correct language, then it works.
A pain in the a**, if you have to copy-n-paste many snippets from different documents to single frames.

Paragraph style naming field typed text overwrites itself
- Double click style name
- Attempt to rename style
- Text field appears limited to 1-3 characters.
- As text is entered into the field, each character deletes and replaces the previous (ie overtype mode).
This occurs only randomly and only inside of InDesign. My keyboard or OS settings can be ruled out as a cause.

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.

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.

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,…

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.

[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 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.
