1. Stops letting me type

   I'm using InDesign 2018 and I will have my cursor in a text box and be typing when the program will stop letting me enter new text. The only way to continue entering text is to tab out of the program and back in. I have no idea what step lead to this issue.

2. 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.

   Thanks

3. Static Endnotes

   When importing Word files with Static Endnotes ticked from Word .doc files the endnote indicators within the text are no longer superior. There is no character style to be able to change these back. Without these indicators remaining superior makes the Static Endnotes a waste of time if you work in .doc instead of .docx. We always use .doc files as there are too many bugs using .docx - bits of text missing; loss of italics here and there etc. Using .doc files are always foolproof. We are typesetters manipulating text 12 hours a day and know all the pit falls and .doc files are best. Please could you fix this bug.

   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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Hyphenation zone settings override discretionary hyphen exclusivity

   Adobe InDesign Hyphenation Bug Report

   Summary

   Conflict between discretionary hyphen behavior and "After First / Before Last" hyphenation zone settings, where InDesign ignores discretionary hyphens that fall within the prohibited hyphenation zone.

   Product Information

   • Product: Adobe InDesign
   • Component: Text Composition / Hyphenation Engine
   • Feature Area: Automatic Hyphenation and Discretionary Hyphens

   Problem Description

   Expected Behavior

   According to Adobe's documentation, discretionary hyphens should have absolute priority over automatic hyphenation rules. Specifically:

   "Entering a discretionary hyphen in a word does guarantee that the word can be broken only where the discretionary hyphen appears."

   When a word contains a discretionary hyphen that falls within the "After First X Letters" or "Before Last X Letters" prohibited zone, InDesign should:
   1. Respect the discretionary hyphen's exclusivity (only break where discretionary hyphen appears)
   2. Refuse to break the word at all since the only allowed break point falls within the prohibited zone
   3. Not apply automatic hyphenation anywhere else in the word

   Actual Behavior

   InDesign ignores the discretionary hyphen when it falls within the prohibited hyphenation zone and applies automatic hyphenation rules instead, breaking the word at algorithmically-determined positions that fall outside the prohibited zone.

   Conflicting Features

   Feature 1: Document Hyphenation Preferences

   • Location: Paragraph Panel Menu > Hyphenation Settings
   • Setting: "After First [X] Letters / Before Last [X] Letters"
   • Purpose: Defines minimum character zones at word beginnings/endings where hyphenation should not occur
   • Example: With "After First 3 Letters / Before Last 3 Letters", the word "aromatic" may hyphenate as "aro-matic" but not "ar-omatic" or "aromat-ic"

   Feature 2: Discretionary Hyphens

   • Location: Type > Insert Special Character > Hyphens And Dashes > Discretionary Hyphen
   • Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+- (Windows) or Command+Shift+- (macOS)
   • Purpose: Manually specify the only allowable break point in a word
   • Expected Behavior: Word can only break at the discretionary hyphen location, regardless of other settings

   Steps to Reproduce

   1. Create a new InDesign document
   2. Set up hyphenation preferences:
      • Go to Paragraph Panel Menu > Hyphenation Settings
      • Enable "Hyphenate"
      • Set "After First [3] Letters"
      • Set "Before Last [3] Letters"
   3. Create a text frame with justified text
   4. Insert a word where a discretionary hyphen would fall within the 3-letter prohibited zones
      • Example: Insert discretionary hyphen in "example" as "ex•ample" (where • represents the discretionary hyphen)
      • This discretionary hyphen falls in the "Before Last 3 Letters" zone
   5. Force line break to require hyphenation of this word

   Expected Result

   Word should not hyphenate at all, since the only allowed break point (discretionary hyphen) falls within the prohibited zone.

   Actual Result

   InDesign ignores the discretionary hyphen and hyphenates the word using automatic rules at a different location (e.g., "exam-ple").

   Impact

   Severity: Medium to High

   • Typography Quality: Undermines precise typographic control
   • Workflow Disruption: Manual intervention required to fix each occurrence
   • Consistency Issues: Unpredictable behavior between discretionary and automatic hyphenation
   • Professional Publishing: Affects quality of professional publications where precise hyphenation control is critical

   User Groups Affected

   • Professional typesetters and designers
   • Book and magazine publishers
   • Technical documentation teams
   • Any users requiring precise hyphenation control

   Technical Analysis

   Root Cause

   The hyphenation engine appears to process the "After/Before Letters" rules after or independently of discretionary hyphen evaluation, rather than respecting the documented hierarchy where discretionary hyphens should override all other hyphenation rules.

   Proposed Solution

   Modify the hyphenation algorithm to:
   1. First check for discretionary hyphens in the word
   2. If discretionary hyphen found: Evaluate if it falls within prohibited zones
   3. If in prohibited zone: Do not hyphenate the word at all
   4. If outside prohibited zone: Use only the discretionary hyphen break point
   5. Only if no discretionary hyphen: Apply automatic hyphenation rules with zone restrictions

   Workarounds

   Current Workarounds (Inefficient)

   1. Manual intervention: Individually edit each problematic word break inserting discretiona hyphen at start of word to prevent it from breaking.
   2. Character Style with No Break: Apply No Break character formatting to words with problematic discretionary hyphens
   3. Adjust zone settings: Reduce "After/Before Letters" values (compromises typography for other words)
   4. Remove discretionary hyphens: Use only automatic hyphenation (loses manual control)

   Limitation of Workarounds

   All workarounds require manual identification and correction of each instance, making them impractical for large documents or automated workflows.

   Documentation References

   Adobe InDesign Help: Text Composition

   • URL: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/text-composition.html
   • Relevant Quote: "Entering a discretionary hyphen in a word does guarantee that the word can be broken only where the discretionary hyphen appears."

   Hyphenation Settings Documentation

   • After First / Before Last Letters: "Specify the minimum number of characters at the beginning or end of a word that can be broken by a hyphen."

   Additional Information

   Related Features That Work Correctly

   • Discretionary hyphens function properly when they fall outside the prohibited zones
   • "After/Before Letters" settings work correctly with automatic hyphenation
   • No Break character formatting consistently prevents hyphenation

   Test Case Suggestions

   Adobe should test various combinations of:
   - Different "After/Before Letters" values (2, 3, 4, 5 characters)
   - Discretionary hyphens at different positions within words
   - Various word lengths and compositions
   - Different paragraph composers (Adobe Paragraph Composer vs. Single-line Composer)

   ---

   Request: Please prioritize this bug fix as it affects fundamental typographic control and contradicts documented behavior. The fix should ensure discretionary hyphens always take absolute precedence over automatic hyphenation rules, including zone restrictions.

   Adobe InDesign Hyphenation Bug Report

   Summary

   Conflict between discretionary hyphen behavior and "After First / Before Last" hyphenation zone settings, where InDesign ignores discretionary hyphens that fall within the prohibited hyphenation zone.

9. 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?

    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.

11. 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.

13. Variable Fonts: Align Stroke to Center shows overlaps

    When using variable fonts, the Align Stroke to Center shows the overlaps in letters with live text (not good). If I use Align Stroke to Outside the overlaps arenʻt shown with live text (good) but once I use Type > Create Outlines the overlaps are shown (not good).

    This happens in many variable fonts, for example Source Code VF Concept (see screenshot attached), but also true with my own variable fonts and those from other type foundries.

    With the non-variable font version, the Stroke looks good in all settings mentioned here. The variable font version should look the same. Thank you!

14. 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.

    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.

15. find/change search selection changes randomly

    ID 14.0.2

    I use certain Find/Change queries repeatedly.

    The queries are saved with the SEARCH option set to SELECTION.

    Normally I select a portion of text and run the F/C query to automatically make changes.

    Recently however, the query is sometimes applied to the WHOLE DOCUMENT.
    I haven't found a pattern, but maybe once out of every 4 tries. It seems it randomly defaults to SEARCH=DOCUMENT, instead of the way the query was saved.

    Hope I have described it clearly enough...

16. 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.

17. 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!

19. Document Fonts slows everything down

    There is a huge speed / usability problem with text boxes that happens when there is a Document Fonts folder contiguous to the InDesign file. I think it doesn't even have to be a text box with a font from Document Fonts.

    Clicking into or escaping out of text boxes impossible or freezes InDesign. Whole app is super slow, and unusable.

20. eyedropper not working correctly

    That's version 14.0.1.209

    When I create a NEW document — there is no problem, the eyedropper working correctly.
    BUT...
    When I work in a document that was previously in an earlier version (for example, CC 2018), then this problem is present.

    If I CREATE a new text box in a document that has been re-saved from an earlier version (IC 2018), then the eyedropper will not work correctly.

    If I CREATE a new text box in a NEW document (CCP 2019), and then transfer it to an old document, then the eyedropper in the new box will not work.

    If I CREATE a text box in a new document (CC 2019) and copy a text box with text from an old document (CC 2018) into a new document, and then take a sample with a eyedropper - the eyedropper working correctly.
    But if I copy this text box with the text back into the old version (CC 2018), then the eyedropper does not work again.

    P.S. Sorry for any translation errors.

    Eyedropper again started working correctly after deleting Master Page. A transparent box was covering the text (see Comments).
