1. Inline vector graphics pixelate while typing in high quality display performance mode

   InDesign 14.0.2 on Windows 10

   1) Set display performance to high quality
   2) Paste an EPS or PDF into a text frame as an inline graphic. It should render crisply as you'd expect in high quality mode..
   3) Start typing in the text frame that contains the inline graphic. The inline graphic pixelates.
   4) Click out of the text frame or stop typing for ~10 seconds. The graphic returns to its unpixelated, high-quality state.

   Context: we are upgrading 100 users from InDesign 2014 to InDesign 2019. This worked perfectly well without any pixelation or lag in InDesign 2014, but is significantly worse in InDesign 2019.
   InDesign support advised me that InDesign is working as intended and I should post here if I wanted anything to change. This is not a step forward!

2. Selecting text is offset slightly so you select the wrong characters

   Selecting text is sometimes really difficult as where you click is slightly off from what InDesign thinks you're clicking on. That means that when you highlight a word, it often misses the first character that you're trying to select. You then have to move the cursor slightly over another character for it to highlight it.

   It's really frustrating as it doesn't seem to happen in all documents. The ones I'm having issues with at the moment use the customer's own font but I've been using that same font for about 5 years with no issues until now.

   I'm using InDesign 14.0.2 and Mac OS 10.14.5

3. Keyboard shortcuts to change case not working on Windows

   Keyboard shortcuts to change case of lines of text is no longer working. Apart from Alt-T to get up the text menu, I'm now having to use the mouse to select the further options to change to Title case. The sequence Alt-T-E-T, no longer works. As I frequently have many entries which need unifying each time I use it, this once useful feature is sorely missing. Please can you fix it Adobe?

   Resolved For User  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

   In your example, the paragraph ‘Introduction: My Life…’ and ‘Update’ use the same Paragraph Style and the setting ‘Space Between Paragraphs Using Same Style’ is set to 0p0. That’s why the Space After setting of 1p4 is having no effect.
   To make it to work, change the ‘Space Between…’ back to its default setting of ‘Ignore’.
   Hope this helps.

7. Text becoming conditional

   If I have conditional text in which the condition include the paragraph mark, when I re-open the document, the following paragraph sometimes has the condition applied to it, even though it was unconditional before. This is a repeatable problem.

8. Problem with Bookmarks that contain special characters

   I have a document with bookmarks that contain phrases with words containing special characters (specifically Italian accents, for example: L’ubiquità della collaborazione)

   Then I have buttons at the top of the document. Each button links to a specific bookmark. If the bookmarks contain this characters/accents, the button don't work.
   So the buttons only work when linking to bookmarks not contain special characters/accents.

   Solved the problem by changing the procedure I used to create bookmarks:

   This is what WON'T WORK:
   - highlighting all the text and then create a bookmark.
   Pro: The bookmarks are added automatically with all the sentence that was highlighted
   Cons: The bookmark that contains accents or apostrophes, won't work with buttons

   This is the way to SOLVE the problem:
   - Instead of highlighting a sentence you want to bookmark,
   - you just place the cursor at the beginning of the sentence
   - you create the bookmark and because you don't highlight the entire sentence you have to manually put the name of the bookmark
   Pro: works even if you have accents or apostrophes
   Cons: you have to write the name of the bookmark manually.

9. Table header is missing after copy/paste

   When I copy/paste a table, the header line is missing. My workaround is to change the height of the next line, then the header line appears. Then I change the height back to the actual height.

10. Auto-sizing text frames not working

    When I try to auto-size a text box in "Text Frame Options," nothing happens. I generally click on the text box, open the text frame options panel with command-B and click on the auto-size tab. Once inside that panel, I attempt to auto-size. Nothing is grayed out so it appears as if it would work, but when I click on "width only" (or any other option), nothing happens and it just stays on the original selection. And I can't seem to find a work around either.

13. story editor

    In my notes, the first character is always substituted with a missing font symbol. It looks fine in the main layout window, but this odd behavior occurs both in the Notes panel, as well as the same note when displayed in the story editor.

15. Text Frame Otpion

    Text hops around in text box from top to bottom when moving text frame. I have seen a lot people online having the same issue. Only work around, and it's just that a work around not a fix, every time you place text you have to go to Object>Text Frame Options>Baseline Option and click "Use Custom Baseline Grid". Doing this every single time I place text is getting rather tedious. Just encountered bug today, restarted both indesign and imac, the bug stayed. About to re-install indesign all together.

17. [ID-4275271] Find/Replace Dialog box functionality was changed in 20.3 tabbing from Find now goes to the Special Character button

    in InDesign 20.3 there was a change to the find/replace dialog box. When I tab out of the "Find what:" field it goes into "Specials characters for search" button instead of the way it used to work where it would tab into "Change to:" field.

    I work on large books with data that I cannot control how it comes in and it is not connected. These books have three versions so there are three layers to work on. I need to make the same changes to all three layers. I have a rhythm, and I tend to work fast. At this point it is pure muscle memory (18 years of doing it this way) when using find and replace. Trying to remember to add an extra tab is constantly slowing me down and really frustrating me.

    If you cannot change it back, PLEASE give me the option to disable it or turn the special character button off so it will bypass it. And work the way it used to. I do not use it, have never in 18 years used it and won't use it.

    I was able to turn off everyone single choice in that button and even with nothing to select it still has the option to open an empty drop-down menu.

    I looked at many different forums. Went through numerous settings, If I missed a way to do this I apologize and would love to know where to look.

    Help me Obi-wan, you’re my only hope.

18. Variable Fonts in inDesign show different hinting results when compared to other environments

    InDesign v20.3.1 x64, Windows 11

    It appears that inDesign is maybe not able to correctly variate CVT values, causing unexpected hinting results. It seems as though CVT values that are used depend on the variable font’s default style/source. A possible way to recreate the issue: Compare the same variable font built in the same way but with a different default source set for each. If Hair (weight: 100) is set as the default, then it will appear in inDesign as if the Regular (weight: 400) is maybe using the CVT values of the Hair. This is shown in the first screenshot. It is not possible to recreate this issue in another environment such as Chrome. You would expect the choice of default style to not have any effect on the hinting result.

    Also attached is a screenshot that looks at the difference between a static and variable version of a Windows font: Segoe UI. Although this example is less valuable as it does not show as stark of a visual difference as the first screenshot and the static and variable versions are not exact matches, it stands to show a difference in variable font hinting that I found difficult to recreate in other environments outside of inDesign, possibly alluding to inDesign doing something unique with how it handles hinting in variable fonts.

    The screenshot examples use 18pt size text.

19. Bizarre issue: footnote appearing in middle of text frame

    Never seen this one before! Changing some text to a style that uses split columns caused one of the footnotes in the text frame to jump to ABOVE the styled text. I can't even understand how this is possible given the logic of the software. See screenshot. I would like my footnotes to stay at the foot of the frame, please.

20. Some Cyrillic RTF files exported from Indesign are broken if a non-breakable space was used

    Indesign 20.3.1 x64 release.

    Attached is the Indesign file. Both frames are identical, except for the topmost has one non-breaking space and the bottommost has a regular space instead. The export from the top frame produces the buggy RTF (a screenshot of the glitch location is attached), while the bottom one is ok. If we put any non-breaking space there - it will fail as well.
    The bug was reported as font-dependent as well, i.e. the text set in Arial may have the bug while the text set in Minion Pro may not have it.
