Weird replacement issue with small caps and breaks
When text is set in small caps, the German ß ligature gets replaced by ss. When that replacement then is at the end of a line and the word needs to break and wrap around, InDesign creates missing glyphs.
This is not an issue with the font and it is not a general issue, because Illustrator doesn't do it. It happens with true small caps and with fake ones.4 votes -
Missing glyphs in a Right-to-Left Paragraph direction
InDesign Middle Eastern Version 18.4.0.56
Steps to reproduce the issues:
a. In Preferences>Composition>Highlight, turn on Highlight for missing glyphs.
b. Type in a text box open and closing parenthesis.
c. Toggle between Right-to-Left and Left-to-Right Paragraph direction.Expected result: Missing glyphs should not be affected by paragraph direction.
Actual result: When the direction becomes Right-to-Left the parenthesis are highlights as missing glyphs.
Additional Information:
If you type one Hebrew letter before and after the parenthesis, the parenthesis will be highlighted with missing glyphs also on Left to Right Paragraph direction.I tried with various fonts, all behave the same. Today…

Khmer Line-Breaking Regression Bug
While much has been fixed, the current version of InDesign 2022 still line-breaks Khmer words/punctuation incorrectly (this used to work in InDesign 5.5 but has been broken since CS 6).
Here are some sample words/puncuation that break incorrectly (many are names):
យេស៊ូវ
អ៊ីស្រាអែល
គ្រីស្ទ
«...ទោះ
ជាម្ចាស់
អាន់ទីយ៉ូក
ៗ (this should stay with the previous word not break on to its own line)
អាកំណា
គ្រីស្ទបរិស័ទ
បន្សុស
ខគម្ពីរ
បូគោ
... (should stay together and stay with previous word like in English)
បូគោ
ឰយុកោEasiest way to fix this is don't break a line unless there is a zero-width space (U+200B) or a…

Paste without formatting option disappeared, CTRL+Shift+V not working
There was previously an option to Paste with Formatting and Paste Without Formatting, and after recent updates, the options have disappeared and paste functioning is working incorrectly. I used both of these functions for various reasons, and would greatly appreciate it coming back! I could use CTRL+Shift+V to paste without formatting, or, if I clicked into a text box and right clicked, there were for options: Cut | Copy | Paste | Paste Without Formatting. Now, only the first three appear as options and I've lost the fourth function. There are times when I WANT to paste with formatting, though…

Hyperlink shifts when replacing preceding characters
If I replace a character in front of a hyperlink with multiple characters using Find/Change, the hyperlink shifts.
(See screeshot: before and after)
If only one character is replaced, no shift occurs. Tested with InDesign CS6, 2020 and 2021, MacOS.
Here you can find a test document:

Variable Fonts: Align Stroke to Center shows overlaps
When using variable fonts, the Align Stroke to Center shows the overlaps in letters with live text (not good). If I use Align Stroke to Outside the overlaps arenʻt shown with live text (good) but once I use Type > Create Outlines the overlaps are shown (not good).
This happens in many variable fonts, for example Source Code VF Concept (see screenshot attached), but also true with my own variable fonts and those from other type foundries.
With the non-variable font version, the Stroke looks good in all settings mentioned here. The variable font version should look the same. Thank…

auto page numbering does not work with auto-size text box
The auto-sizing text box should resize depending on number and not the 'marker character'
I'm pretty sure it used to work that way.4 votes -
Tables with slanted header row
When tables have long names for column headers, a good design solution is to ***** the header cells and their text, from 20-70 degrees.
The table still needs to be live, editable, and adjustable (both the cells AND text) so that when needed, the headers can be changed from 60 degrees to 45 degrees.
And when exported to PDF and EPUB, it needs to have the required accessibility tag structure:
<Table>
<TR>
<TH> (header)
<TH> (header)
<TH> (header)
<TH> (header)
<TR>
<TD> (data)
<TD> (data)
<TD> (data)
<TD> (data)See attached screen cap of slanted column headers.
All we can…

Fit frame to content not working for text
I recently updated to the newest version of InDesign (v 16.0) and "fit frame to content" is not working properly for any of my text boxes. It is leaving about 0.13in at the top of all of my text, and is making aligning in my layout extremely difficult. I double checked to make sure my baselines are set to 0 and my text boxes are set to Align to top, but nothing seems to be fixing it.

'Apply italic' Shortcut Issue
Prior to v16, Shift-Command-I applied the active font's italic to selected text. But in v16, it is applying the font's bold italic.
I see no way to affect this in the Keyboard shortcuts panel. It simply lists "Apply italic" with the correct shortcut.

Text rendering bug – the edited text is rendered over older version of the text
I work on a book. While editing the book, I face constant rendering issues: the updated text is rendered on top of the unaltered text. It happens irregularly many times a day. The problem is not document oriented nor platform specific. I started to make screenshots in March and the bug is still present.
It is very annoying. The only solution is to switch to Selection tool and the change select the Text tool. If you seriously edit a document and you face rendering bugs every five minutes, it is pain **********.-

Fonts won't visibly load, but preflight is green. Close the doc and reopen - fonts work again.
macOS Mojave 10.14.6
InDesign 15.1 & 15.1.1When a document is open, some of the fonts will not visibly load. However when you go to Type > Find/Replace it shows there are no font issues. Preflight is green and all fonts are listed as "OK". We then immediately close the document and reopen it everything looks fine. When the same document is opened hours later the problem repeats itself.
Notes:
• It appears that fonts loaded from the Document Folder ONLY are OK.
• Fonts that are loaded simultaneously in Font Book and the Document Fonts folder fail to display…4 votes -

"Fit frame to content" doesn't work anymore after a lot of pages in file
Working on a catalogue, a lot of files in a book. The "fit frame to content" works good until after a lot of pages (I think after 50 or 60 pages) suddenly it doesn't work anymore. With a textframe & also tableframe. But with an image it still works...
Also very change, when you split the textframe in for example 2, on the second textframe it will work (fit frame to content).
All the fit options don't work for text & tableframes.
The right-click and choose the option don't work and also the shortcut doesn't work.2 other colleagues have…

Footnotes disappears
Some footnotes disappeared without reason then appeared back when I changed something in the linked paragraph. InDesign didn't display any kind of warning about this problem.
4 votesHi,
Part of this issue was fixed with the latest release of InDesign 15.0.1For all new files created with ID 15.0.1 the issue will not come. For older files opened in ID 15.0.1, you will have to resize, move or do some text editing operation to make the footnote appear
In case you are still facing the issue in new files created post ID 15.0.0 , please share a sample file
Thanks

Exported text missing Endnotes
Exported text missing Endnotes
We work with Footnotes and Endnotes a lot. And when everything is OK, but after going in print, the text is exported so that the autor can edit it for a next release (Law text and commented law so it changes often). I was very happy when InDesign did begin to work with Endnotes but ... it does not export them. Not even in Version 15.0.1. Footnotes are exported, Endnotes are missing. This is a big bug or an even bigger oversight.4 votes -
