Hanging Indent plus Left Justify makes words float out of text frame
I often use bulleted lists with the commmand/backslash (hanging indent) tool. If the text is aligned left, no problem. But when I use left justify, it sends some of the words off to the right — outside of the text frame! Please see examples below.
The text samples here were using Adobe Paragraph Composer. But when I switched it to World-Ready it fixed it!
I've been having this problem for a while. Before I updated to InDesign 2018 and after the update as well. I'm running El Capitan 10.11.6 on a Mid 2011 iMac.

Same problem happening for me. Come on Adobe, it' been more than 3 years!

When I convert bullets to text in a text frame, the line spacing increases in the bulleted lists forcing some of the text out of the text frame.
InDesign CC 2019
All of the text should stay in the same position it was in before the conversion. -

Hi together,
as written in the linked thread my tests are showing that this issue is a mix of several things:1. Wingdings font used for the "bullet"
2. Bold used in characters after the Wingdings "bullet"
3. Special character \x{0007} Indent Here Tab usedIf Wingdings are not used there is no problem.
If formatting "Bold" is not used for the white space characters after the Wingdings character there is no problem.See my findings here:
