OpenType All Small Caps disappear when switching dictionary to German
I have a text that uses the OpenType feature “All Small Caps” in a lot of places. It is currently set to use the English USA dictionary. I am working on translating this text into German, and so I want to use the German dictionary for it. When I try this, all instances of All Small Caps turn to regular lower-case letters. I tried a couple of different dictionaries, some (e.g. other English and Dutch) will retain the SC and others (e.g. None) will make them disappear.

I have the same issue. Partly because I'm trying to get round another bug whereby InDesign won't break hyphenated words at the hyphen (e.g. long-termist would be broken as "long-term|ist" rather than breaking after "long-|") – the fix for that is setting the language to [No language]. But setting to [No language] for some reason removes the small caps even if there's an applied character style.
