Type tool deselects itself InDD 16.0
Type tool deselects itself InDD 16.0
The bug has been already reported, it's been claimed to be fixed a while back, but actually still persists. I personally never had this problem before, but after updating to v16 a few weeks ago I get it now.
Typing "T" just selects the type tool very briefly, then changes back to the previous tool. Clicking inside a text frame has the same result, even if you get to select some part of the text, it just changes back to the previous tool in most of the cases. The only way to get 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.

Stroke Drawing Order | Row Strokes In Front issue
Hi everyone,
I'm facing a problem in indesign and I assume this should be reported as a bug unless someone has a solution to it, so…
I work with a lot of tables, and sometimes, for more lisibility, I have a insert "gutters" to table columns (actually it's white right strokes on my cells), sometimes it's just the client who wants them everywhere on tables. Anyway, there's a great feature in table styles that let me decide whether the row stroke is above the column stroke or the other way.
it works perfectly when choosing Column Strokes In Front, every…

RTL quote reverse
The right and left single and double quotes (U+2018, U+2019, U+201C, U+201D) are displaying (and outputting) reversed in InDesign 14 and 15 when bringing in RTL text. I see no way via a style or setting to fix them, I can only use the wrong ones to make them look correctly. It is not only difficult to fix, but it introduces an opportunity for error, means I am editing the text supplied by my client (something that is very bad policy for us), and makes my file underlyingly inaccurate for archiving.
In the attached screenshot, you can seen the the…2 votes -
Paragraph bottom border overlaps the text
As I mentioned here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/paragraph-bottom-border-overlaps-the-text/m-p/11348398?page=1 the issue occurs when I set a paragraph style with a border and additionally anchor a text frame at the end of it. The border overlaps each time changes to text are made (additional lines, adding a page, deleting a page – everything that causes the flow of the text).
Some similar issue was reported here https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38784706-footnotes-in-paragraph-borders-style by swapan.
InDesign version ID 2020 15.1.1 and PR Installer (15.1.2.221) on Windows 10. The problem occurs since I have started using a combination paragraph border + anchored text frame (more than 8 month ago). For testing I…

rectangle frame tool
The large X in the frame has disappeared when using the rectangular frame tool. Is this a preference issue or a change to the basic functionality of InDesign? I would really like to be able to use it again. It made my work a lot easier.

Menu item "Convert footnotes and endnotes" missing
Although my software is up to date, the option "Convert footnotes to endnotes" is missing from my "Type" menu item (image). The interface is in portuguese, but you can see there are only four itens on the footnote/endnote area, the fifth ("Convert footnote to endnote") is really missing...

Type is shifting inside text box upon moving.
I've been noticing when I use the type tool, I can fill it as normal. Style things with the appropriate fonts/colors but should I move the box it self to a new location the spacing above the font will grow or shrink and shift everything inside that text box. It almost acts like it is adjusting like it has text flow around an image feature selected. Sometimes remove all the styles then re-applying them will fix it but this is issue had been annoying me for maybe the past 2 months.

2. switch on "wrap around" in "text wrap" options
3. make place for graphic making apriopriate left indent for paragraph.
Whole text in paragraph is indented reflecting the shape of wrapped objectThis bug was once repaired few years ago, but now it returned.

For text frames with inset spacing and shaped corners, the text frame can auto-size to be much wider than the actual text
InDesign: 15.0.1 x64
Creative Cloud: 5.1.0.407This behavior varies depending on the combination of:
- typeface
- font size
- corner size
- inset spacing
- actual text contents in text framePut a few words in a text frame, and keep the text frame selected. I can trigger this easily with Minion Pro, Roboto, and Inconsolata.
In Object -> Text Frame Options:
- In the General section, set Inset Spacing to some nonzero value.
- In the Auto-Size section, set Auto-Sizing to Height and Width, and enable No Line Breaks.
Select the text frame with the Selection Tool. Set the corners…

Misplaced dots in Nastaleeq Font rendering

Alternate filling function of table rows doesn't work on styled cells
Please see the attached video to fully understand what is the issue about: the alternate filling function doesn't work on previously styled cells.
PS: Your server didn't allow me to upload the .indd file where the bug appeared and displayed the following error message: «Invalid file type: .indd files not allowed.» I can't believe my eyes. This is incredible! It's impossible to upload an .indd file on the bugs forum of InDesign! How ironic.

Text formatting is lost when copy/pasting a text box to another document.
When Copying a text box from one document to another, the formatting is lost and is highlighted red (indicating missing font?). The font changes to from Arial to Helvetica as substitution.
Both documents are updated to the current file format.
The box copies and pastes as a basic text frame.I'm able to reformat everything to match the other document, but I don't know why it's losing the formatting.
