InDesign hangs when placing CJK tagged text with ruby
I'm currently using ID 2024, but I have tested other versions of ID, back to CS6, and they all have the same problem. I'm currently running Windows 11, but the problem also occurs in Windows 10.
Steps:
- Install the Adobe font family, Source Han Sans TW, on your computer.
- Download TaggedText.zip and unzip it
- Open InDesign in the CJK version
- Create a new document with these grid attributes: Direction = Vertical; Font = Source Han Sans TW, Normal; Size = 16 pt; Vertical = Horizontal = 100%; Char Aki = 0 pt; Line Aki = 10 pt; Characters = 40; Lines = 15
- Go File > Place... > choose TaggedText.txt
- After TaggedText.txt is loaded into the "cursor" <shift-click> inside the frame
It would be nice if InDesign would place the text and allow me to continue working with the data. Unfortunately, InDesign hangs and I have to kill it with the Task Manager.
UserVoice does not allow uploading zip files so here is the link to TaggedText.zip:

(Contact me if you have problems downloading it.)
I have a video showing how to reproduce the bug:

I'm pretty sure the problem is related to ruby in the tagged text. It is possible to place the text using the debug version of InDesign available through adobeprerelease.com which leads me to think that the tagged text is acceptable. My request is to fix the regular version of InDesign so that it can place this tagged text just like the debug version can.
At this point InDesign is hung.

The team I work with is experiencing the same problem. We are unable to successfully place tagged text with ruby. Projects we are working on requiring ruby text are blocked.
Installing and using the debug version of InDesign is not an option many of our users would be comfortable with.
