    I have updated InDesign 2024 v.19.1. to the latest version. Mac OS 14.3.1. This Only happens in adobe indesign, I can get a space with the space bar in this very box and other applications, but NOt in my indesign document. I have to copy and paste a space to get one in my document. You can imagine how that slows my work.

  2. composite fonts

    InDesign VERSION 19.1
    I Created a new font using "composite fonts", chose the base font, latin & Numbers. after creating the new font, i selected the text frame and applied the new font i created (like i always did)
    the problem is, tha the latin letters showed up with wide spacing (wide tracking) - shown in the attached image.
    While teaching my student that, they told me the encountered the same problem. Since i have used it in the past i assume it is a bug

    Regards

  3. suggest uppercase accented characters as alternatives

    Italian keyboards with accented characters, do not have any way of typing uppercase accented characters. Consequently, when CAPS LOCK is on, all characters will be uppercase except the accented characters. When selecting an accented character, I get the suggestion to use the alternate glyph (which is often like a small caps character). It would be useful to have the choice of the uppercase version of a character among the suggested alternate glyphs. I suppose this could work both ways for all characters: uppercase should be a choice of alternate glyph for all lowercase characters, and lowercase should be a choice…

  4. orthographe

    Indesign 19.1

    Impossible de modifer la langue en français dans la correction orthographe / dictionnaire.
    La langue et le dictionnaire sont bien en français dans les paramètres.
    Mais la correction orthographique se fait en anglais ou en italien : Le changement de dictionnaire ne fonctionne pas dans la fenêtre orthographe.

  7. Text disappearing while editing

    On my MacBook Air when I use InDesign and I am editing text it frequently disappears then when I zoom in again it will reappear. It only ever disappears from view, it is never lost but still very annoying. It will do this about every 4 words I type.

  8. Behavior of "Change" button different than behavior of "Change All" button

    When finding and changing the paragraph or character style of some text to another paragraph or character style, using "Find" and "Change/Find" retains any local formatting (italic, bold, underline, superscript, etc.) in the affected paragraph. "Change All," however, removes all local formatting in the affected paragraphs.

  10. Text Anchors For Hyperlinking Keep Changing To Different Anchors

    After manually changing every single text anchor back to the proper destination and saving, the text anchors have now changed to different locations or have been removed completely. This is a huge bug that has caused me to waste a week of time.

  11. Increasing Futura text size beyond 18pts causes bulleted list to misalign

    Whenever I create a bulleted list in inDesign and increase the size beyond 18pts when specifically using Futura PT, the list misaligns. It doesn't do this with any other typeface.

  12. Indesing 2024: Opentype Superscript not working for Endnote Markers

    Indesign 2024:
    Opentype Superscripts don’t apply to endnote marker via character style

    When working with end- or footnotes, instead of using the default settings, I usually create specific character styles for the markers in the text.
    In these settings, I use the typeface’s native opentype settings to define a superscript number.

    In the latest version 19.0.1, I can define all these features in a character style and it works when applying to a number, but the character style can’t be applied to an endnote marker (it however works with a footnote marker).

    This is a very annoying bug. I can't…

  13. first keystroke is missing after pasting text

    The Show Paste Options setting eats the first keystroke after pasting text. Turn this setting OFF and the problem disappears. Turn it on and you will think you're going crazy.

    1. InDesign CC 19.0.1 on macOS Ventura 13.6.1 (22G313) on Apple Silicon M2 Pro

    2. Create a new document with a text field. Make sure Show Paste Options is checked (in Preferences » Clipboard Handling... » Show Paste Options)

    3. In this example (see attached video), after pasting text, I typed "5" twice. I should see two "5"s following the pasted text.

    4. The first "5" does not register. Only the second "5" appears…

  14. Apple text replacement does not work in indesign

    Mac M2
    Sonoma 14.2
    Indesign 19.0.1

    Mac text replacement does not work in Indesign nor Illustrator.

    How can I change this? What is blocking this in the Adobe programs?

    (EXAMPLE: on every other program on the Mac when I type wf, it replaces it with the word wayfinding)

  15. Variable Font Italic Slider Not Working Correctly

    Adobe InDesign ver.19.0.1

    The variable weight for CC Regeneration (distributed through Adobe Fonts) is not working correctly in InDesign. The italic slider is not adjusting all data points correctly and the capital "I" glyph is not affected at all.
    The variable font works correctly in Illustrator.

  16. table indent

    19.0.1 - The default table loads with an 8 pica left indent. Creating a table from text also loads an 8 pica indent but I could not find a way to alter that. In the styling it showed 0 indent. I was able to adjust the default table but not the one I created from text. I deleted preferences and there was no change. Please fix.

    after upgrade to sonoma 14.1.2 (running INDD 19.0.1), while scoping text - everything inside the document window goes away to white only and, reappears when releasing input device. this makes it impossible to select exact sections of text. it does not occur while double clicking to select an entire line. It did not occur until this morning after upgrading OS.

  19. Text variables with current date not working

    I created a text variable to update the date when the document is modified. When I opened my document in the beta version of InDesign, the text frame for my text variable was empty. I tried to re-enter the variable, and I tried making a new variable. When I selected a variable that included the current date, it would not appear. I created a Modification Date text variable and a custom text variable based on the Modification date. They appeared correctly. I saved the InDesign doc to the cloud. Once I applied a paragraph style, the text disappeared in both…
