Text wrap should work normally with anchored objects
Just make text wrap on an anchored object work exactly as it does when you have a seperate object. Not sure what the point is of having it ignore the text wrap for objects above the line it's anchored to. I can always tell it to ignore if that's what I want.

rtl paragraphs line break wrong direction issue
In rtl text, I use rtl paragraph direction. when I add \n (forced line break) the remaining part of the text changes direction, unless I change character direction of \n character to "right to left". I use "default" as default character direction of paragraphs.

Select multiple cells in a table that are not next to each other.
Good morning,
When we creating a table in Indesign, it is impossible to select several cells at the same time, if they are not side by side.
There is no shortcut yet that allows you to do this.
This would save a lot of time, being able to change the background color, or font, of several selected cells.
For the moment, we have to take the cells one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one... Not really fast...!Thanks in advance for future updates! :-)

[ID-4255452] Text variables with modification date not working when saved to Cloud.
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…

RTL quotation mark rendering inconsistencies in InDesign v19
In InDesign versions 18 and earlier, the left and right quotation marks for Thaana were interpreted as "start" and "end" quotation marks. However, Microsoft Word and web browsers and most applications interpreted them as "right" and "left" as named in the Unicode specification.
In InDesign version 19, the rendering behaves oppositely (similar to Word, web browsers, etc.), even though the codepoint remains the same. Additionally, some other anomalies are present. For instance, when I use a right/left quotation mark as a bullet point, it renders as the opposite one.
Please refer to the attached recording for another case where I…

Indesign v19 (2024) changes line breaks of paragraphs in documents created in v18.5 (2023)
I wanted to export a finished document (a book) made with Indesign Version 18.5 (2023) after updating to Version 19 (2024). After exporting I noticed that the word-wrapping was ruined and images on wrong pages because at some points in the document the line breaks were different and it made the paragraph a line longer than before and thus ruining the following textwrap.
If I open the document with the old indesign version, everything is fine. I compared the preferences and everything is identical. In both cases the paragraphs use the single-line-composer and the justification is not changed either.
Is…

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…

[ID 17.2.20] Import xlsx spreadsheet: formatted numbers are truncated
MacOS 10.15.7 (19H1824) French localization
InDesign 17.2.0.20 (17200)
Excel 16.58 (16.58.22021501)When importing an Excel sheet as a table, every number is truncated before the first thousand separator (which is a space in French).

Bug: Table/cell styles don't define cell height and character format
Indesign CC 2020, v17.1
The dialog to create a new cell style doesn't have a definition for the cell height (value "At least" / "Exactly") like we find it in the table properties panel. Table styles also don't define cell height and that is all we can use. If you adjust the cell height manually and redefine the cell style, it's also not submitted. So there is no chance to format an entire table just by selecting a table style.
Next is characters. If there is supposed to be text in a table, that text gotta have a style. Since…

2021 variable font repeatedly unavailable causing InDesign to freeze
In InDesign (version 17.0.1), I am using Acumin Variable, which initially shows up with no issues. However, InDesign begins freezing and minutes later, a pop up notification says the variable font is unavailable. This has been on-going and other designers I collaborate with are experiencing the same problem with this font.

Endnotes content shuffled by ICML import
InDesign/InCopy versions 14, 15, & 16
The position of user-entered "extra" content in an endnote story is currently lost when endnotes are replaced during an update of the associated story.
Adobe's help documentation says (from the "Work with endnote text" section of https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/endnotes.html )
"Endnotes in the endnote frame are indicated with Endnote Markers. Text, such as heading, can be typed in the endnote frame outside these markers. This extra content does not belong to any endnote."
This suggests that user content in an endnotes story is allowed and supported.
However, extra content moves around during an update. An attached…

行スタイルのバグ?
-環境-
InDesign 2020(バージョン問わず発生)
MacOS X Mojave 10.14.6
MacPro6,1カレンダーの作成時に行スタイルを使って、日曜日を赤色にする文字スタイルを設定しています。1[強制改行] 2[強制改行]…のようにテキストを作成し、行スタイルで…
[なし] 対象6行
赤文字 対象1行
[繰り返し]対象2行と日曜日を自動的に赤色の文字スタイルを適応させます。
その後、手動で祝日に文字スタイルを適応する際に「繰り返しをまたいで文字スタイルを2つ適応すると、2つ目が適切に適応できません」。
例えば2月のカレンダーを作成する際に、11日と24日が祝日なので赤色にする文字スタイルを設定します。11日の文字スタイルは問題ありませんが、24日に文字スタイルを適応させると23日にも赤色の文字スタイルが適応されます。
そして23日は文字スタイル「なし」を適応させても赤文字のスタイルが解除されません。テキストをコピー・アンド・ペーストすると元に戻りますが、保存して再度開くと同じ現象が発生する事があります。
設定ミスなのか、バグかハッキリしなかったので投稿しました。ニッチな事案ですが皆様のご意見をぜひお願いします。3 votes -
Converting footnotes to endnotes removes inline styling
InDesign 16.0.1
macOS 10.14.6Currently if using the 'Convert Footnotes and Endnotes' function, any inline styling of the text contained within the footnote is being removed. Eg text which is formatted as italic is being converted into non-italic etc.
Fortunately this doesn't appear to affect any character styles which have been applied, but it still creates a very high risk of losing formatting.
Ideally conversion from footnotes/endnotes should not alter the content.
