GREP
Indesign 21.4. and 21.4.1 x64 | Win 11 Pro 25H2 | Build 26200.8655 | Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.315.0:
Issue: Certain GREPs no longer working: Example:
Find what:
^Question\h\d+\K.+(?=\r)
Find Format:
A Paragraph Style
No matches are found (there were matching elements in all our test documents).
The GREP works when Find Format is empty (at least regarding Paragraph Styles, Character Styles or Character Colors).
The GREP works with a PS, CS or CC only if either the "^" at the beginning or the \K is omitted.
This issue persist for several days by now.
Its an issue with every indesign document we have tested (old ones as well as newly created ones especially for testing).
Its an issue regardless which workstation we use and to which network the workstation is connected.
Its an issue when the document is accessed via our fileserver and its an issue when the document is saved locally.
Its an issue with every GREP that stats with "^" and contains "\K" - wheter there is a positive lookahead or not doesn't influence the outcome.
(?<=^Question\h\d)\K.+(?=\r) is working in conjunction with an entry in the Find Format but is for the obvious reason no viable workaround. And neither is omitting either an entry in the Find Format or the "^" or "\K".
As a last resort (such GREPs is our bread and butter in scientific publishing) we unshelved an old workstation with CS 6 and Win 10 with the last update and the GREPs worked as fine as ever. But before we revert completely at least for the time being I hope a quick solution can be found.
Thank you in advance with best regards
