Drag-and-Drop text editing in Layout view problems
I was working on InDesign layout with Word text with some text originally in Arabic - with some numbers (dates) only for a reason I cannot understand, but it was a text about oriental philosophy... I discovered that my body text paragraph style (for a strange reason) used Adobe Worlld-Ready Single-Line Composer (it was not my choice!). That selection made the one letter Drag-and-Drop editor in the Layout view not work correctly. When I changed the composer to a simple paragraph composer everything is OK again...
Made an experiment - on Latin-based text with World-Redy composer one cannot use Drag-andDrop…1 vote -
Paragraph Keep Options to "Start on next Odd Page" confused by Text Wrap
Noticed a strange behaviour with keep options. If Keep Options says to start on next odd page, and there is Text Wrap that makes the upcoming odd page unavailable the Paragraph may start will start on the next available text frame, even if this is on an even page. I would have assumed that the Paragraph would start on the next available odd page.
(How do we post a test file if we cannot attatch indesign file ot zip ? )

InDesign 18.3 Arabic variable font bug (MacOS)
In an Arabic variable font it is not possible to apply the font variation to a single glyph without breaking the shaping. In Illustrator 27.5 the expected behaviour (variation of an individual glyph without breaking shaping) works.

selection story
I have a couple of documents with the same type of tables on several pages. I mark 2 of 3 columns and want to change all letters and numbers in that one to x. So I use the search/find to do this and I mark "Selection" to just change the selected ones. Works fine. So I move to the next page with the Search/Find Windows still open. Then I mark the new 2 columns and want to change them as well. But now the "Selection" have changed to Story".
Every time I mark a new set of columns, it changes…1 vote -
Indesign not reading fonts correctly.
I've been using our corporate fonts (Concon and Avenir), successfully for months. Using latest updates from CC Indesign and Photoshop and Illustrator. Never any font conflict issues.
All of a sudden last month one document in Indesign stopped recognising the fonts. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling both the fonts and the program apps. I've tried installing the fonts in Adobe folders as well as on my PC.
It's super frustrating as every time I open the document, I need to go back and correct all the fonts. It let's me resolve them by re-selecting a font for highlighted text, but doesn't…

text box link
This is a bug affecting my Windows 10 version (18.3 x64) that has been happening for the last week or so, presumably with the latest update. Text box links will break for no reason leaving the content displayed in each text box as its new content. I actually watched it break the connection between the text boxes while I was doing nothing to my document.

Multiple cross-references for same index entry are not in alphabetical order
When multiple index cross-references ('See' and 'See also' references) are added under an index entry, they are listed in the order they are added, and not in alphabetical order, as they should be. Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the order afterwards. The only way is to add the cross-references in alphabetical order from the beginning.

Dictionaries, specifically German
The german dictionary in ID is weird. Many common german words it would mark as unknown, but the suggestions show a lot of rarely used ones. Well, when adding words to the dictionary, it can be confusing for the grammar checker to distinguish between verbs, adjectives and nouns if there is no definition for the word type. So, at least for German, but perhaps generally, give the user the option to define if the added word is a noun, adjective or verb.
Example for confusion: "brücken". This is a verb ("brücken" -> to bridge), but also the plural of "Brücke"…

Index entries not displaying
Hi, I have InDesign version 18.2.1 and am working on the translation of my book. Since yesterday evening I can no longer update the index. It only shows some index entries instead of all of them. Could you please provide a solution? By the way, I attach here two screenshots.

Underlining out of position when text in a table cell uses a World-Ready composer
When the text in a table cell uses a World-Ready composer and is underlined, the underlining in the last line is out of position. The invisible end-of-cell mark is underlined, but the first character in the line is only partially underlined. The workaround I've been using is to add a nonjoiner character at the beginning of the line. Doing so shifts the underlining into the correct position.
- Adobe InDesign 18.2.1
- Type enought text in a table cell to fill at least two lines; justify it with either of the World-Ready composers; underline the last line of text.
- Underlining should begin…

Cannot place .xlsx spreasheet
InDesign 18.2.1
MacOS Ventura 13.2.1Attempting to place an .xlsx spreadsheet goes no where - freezes about 3/4 of the way through process.
(left for longer than 10 minutes, nothing changed, still stuck at same point).If I export the .xlsx from Numbers it won't place at all (get the error 'Cannot place this file') (original file was made with Microsoft and supplied to me).
I have 'Create Links When Placing Text and Spreadsheet Files' enabled, as well as 'Show import options'.
I have tried disabling both - same thing happens.1 vote -

Hyperlink bug: hyperlink format is spilling over to other paragraphs
There is a bug with the Hyperlink format in my Incopy Version 16.4.1 running on Mac OS 12.6.3:
1) I am inserting a Hyperlink in my Incopy document. It is then shown in blue, underlined, Times New Roman. See screenshot.
2) Next I am formatting it as "ohne" Zeichenformat (German) in order to have it in the same format as the other text.
3) I close the file (check in) and open it again (check out).
4) Suddenly, the remainder of the the text is formatted in Hyperlink format. This is a bug.1 vote
