World-Ready Composer – Nonbreaking & Flush Bugs

NOTE: Please see the attached screenshots
Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer ONLY

  1. NONBREAKING SPACE (FLEXIBLE) BEHAVES AS FIXED WIDTH:
    The "Nonbreaking Space" fails to expand/compress in justified text. It stays at a fixed width, making it identical to the "Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width)".

  2. MULTIPLE FLUSH SPACES FAIL TO DISTRIBUTE EQUALLY:
    In a single line only the last Flush Space in the line expands, while the others behave like standard spaces.

Expected behavior:
NONBREAKING SPACE: Should flex with justification.
FLUSH SPACES: Should distribute the empty space equally between all instances in the line.

    Accurate handling of special spacing characters is critical for professional typesetting in Adobe InDesign. When the World-Ready Paragraph Composer treats Nonbreaking Spaces as fixed-width and allows only the final Flush Space in a line to expand, it prevents proper justification and breaks the intended structure of the text. For users who rely on precise spacing to control line composition, these behaviors make the composer unreliable and force constant manual corrections. The fact that these issues have remained unresolved for so long is deeply frustrating for professionals who depend on the World-Ready Composer for Hebrew and other RTL typography. It is unacceptable that such fundamental functionality still does not work correctly, and this issue must be addressed urgently.

    תנהגות צפויה:
    רווח קבוע: צריך להתגמש עם יישור.
    רווחים מיושנים: צריכים לחלק את הרווח הריק באופן שווה בין כל המופעים בשורה.
