Drop Cap/Nested Style Broken in InDesign CC 2019
Since upgrading to InDesign CC 2019, when I edit a paragraph that has a nested style applied to the first line, the entire paragraph takes on the nested style. The paragraph behaves normally until I edit it. Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, the behavior is inconsistent. If I copy and paste the text into a new text box, the behavior does not occur, but if I link the existing text to that new box, it continues to happen.

This is still not working. I am getting small caps in EVERY style when I place new text.

It seems that the issue has not been fixed yet. I'm working on a Mac with InDesign 14.01 and nested styles don't work.

Seems to be working now. Thanks! Now if I could only convince you that the kerning problem caused by the World-Ready Composer is as serious. :->

Hi Aman
No, this issue does not appear in 13.1; it's new to 14.
I can't supply my client's file, but I have made a copy of it and replaced the content with Greeking. It should be enough to show you what's happening. I will send the example as a reply to your email. I didn't record a video, but it's easy to replicate. Just click an insertion point anywhere in the first paragraph and type a space or any other character. The entire paragraph will change to small caps, which is defined by a nested character style.

Ahh. I wondered what the limiting variable was, but I didn't have time to track it down right now. Thanks for the heads up.

I experienced the same issue: the style applied to the first line is taken by the entire paragraph, BUT ONLY when a colspan is used in the previous paragraph.

When a paragraph style is set to span columns the following paragraph, which uses a one-line Nested style doesn't display correctly. If Span columns is set to single column it works. Some problem exists between the Span column setting and the display of fonts.
