Bug: Cross-reference dialog, filter doesn't work
Latest ID 16.4, Windows 10
This bug is old, at least since the cross-ref dialog has been redesigned.
If you select a style on the left it would show you all text parts with that style on the right (see attached images).
Problem Nr. 1: that list on the right side is not alphabetically sorted and there is no way to get it sorted.
Problem Nr. 2: if you want to find a specific entry amongst the many you see you can either scroll through all of them or use the filter box, which doesn't work as expected. As you…1 vote -
Justifying frame or change leading causes text to change
This is happening from time to time. The hyphenation of the word inside the red stroke is removed simply by setting the text frame vertical justfication to 'Justify' or by changing the leading of the paragraph. These modifications should not mess with the text and hyphenation. When this happens, in certain circumstances, it changes the number of lines of the paragraph (see prints), causing the whole story to reflow.

Urdu fonts not working in InDesign 2021
Tried various Urdu fonts in InDesign and only one seemed to work fine (Jameel Noori Nastaleeq). On others attempted, the glyphs were all over the place and it looked like some baseline shift might be required on some characters. In others something called 'missing glyph protection' kicked in and all the characters looked like they were piled on top of each other.
The same fonts worked fine in MS Word (365) so I prepared two PDF files showing the same text in 5 different URDU fonts - one prepared from Word and the other from InDesign to illustrate the difference.

Span columns not working properly (16.4)
InDesign 16.4 on Windows.
I have an issue with spanned text.
It looks like a "break column" special character is created above and below the text when I span it across a 2 column frame. Or a text column is "skipped."
This is happening on flowing text, on primary text frames. The text was initially imported from a Word document (without styling).This "bug" doesn't happens on on other text frames where the text was not imported.
I am trying to upload the INDD packaged rar file but the platform is saying that that type of file is not supported...…

When Find/Change Dialog Box is open, arrow keys move entire text box instead of cursor
- Indesign 16.3.2 on macOs Mojave
- When i find a word using find/change it gets highlighted. I try to add a punctuation mark after that word and tab the right arrow key.
- Arrow key should just move the cursor in text box, next to the highlighted text.
- It moves entire text box as if the text box is selected.

BUG WITH FOOTNOTES
I though that the new version of Indesign will have this fix but, no. See my screenshot, the text is overlapping my footnote. This comes randomly in my 12 books. To get ride of this, I have to enlarge my textbox and after, reduce it like it was normally. It's very frustrating because when I get the Okay of my client and then made the final PDF, it can happening. So, I have to check all my PDFs very carefully to see if nothing wrong.

text wrap violates indented text next to it
[InDesign 16.2.1 x63/Windows 10 Enterprise ]
When text with bullets sits next to a (separate) text frame that has a wrap applied, the text after the bullet doesn't align correctly.
I tried to upload a file (both by dragging or clicking) and neither option allows me to attach the file. "The following file type [filename.indd] is not supported."
An earlier bug report for the same problem had a response indicating that the issue has been fixed. It has not been fixed.
Fortunately, you can move the tab marker on the affected lines to override the bug, but that's really not…1 vote -

Koreans have to press the spacebar twice when using InDesign
When typing Korean in InDesign, you need to press the spacebar twice.If you've ever used InDesign in Korean, you'll find this kind of work is very annoying. This issue did not appear in CS6 and earlier versions of CC. So, for Koreans who use InDesign, the InDesign CC version is a disaster.
This problem cannot be solved by using any option in InDesign, and Koreans are using unverified sub software to solve this problem. And many Koreans are wondering why InDesign is a step backwards from the previous version and doesn't solve even these basic problems.
It seems it's been…
