1. InDesign 15.1.1 English dictionary missing plural word spellings

   Since the update every plural word version is not in the dictionary. Simple, basic words like 'years' and 'days' now show as a spelling error. It was working fine before the latest update. Get it fixed - it's pointless having the spellchecker when so many basic words are missing!

2. InDesign False Ligatures Bug

   InDesign sometimes, seemingly randomly, replaces pairs such as hn, il, io, sy, ek, etc. with completely wrong glyph, such as accented Y, U, etc., when regular Ligature setting is applied. This has been a problem since CS5 and we recently had it occur in CC2015, so it is still there. Affected fonts have been many over the years, including licensed Adobe fonts. Fonts can be Open Type or PostScript. Language setting can be English US, UK, or seemingly anything else. The only thing that works to avoid it is to turn off Ligatures which is generally unacceptable, so the only workaround is a targeted GREP style to apply ligatures to only the pairs that should have them for that file. This is a long-standing problem which has been reported in forums various times and needs to be addressed. There is no sure fire way to reproduce the bug. Only thing that sometimes works is to brute force load/unload fonts until the problem occurs. It seems that once the problem occurs the first time it may then become more frequent on that computer. I know someone who has even seen the effects of this problem in printed material (i.e., in a book they were reading).

4. [ID-4257735]One Frame Grid Remains Unchanged When Modifying Multiple Selected Frame Grids

   InDesign CS4 (v6) and Later

   When changing the “Number of Characters per Line” or “Number of Lines” for multiple selected frame grids, one of the frame grids always fails to update. This bug, first observed in CS4 (v6), remains unresolved.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Select multiple frame grids.
   2. Go to the menu and choose “Object > Frame Grid Options...”
   3. Modify the “Number of Characters per Line” or “Number of Lines” settings.

   Result: Changes are not reflected in one of the frame grids. It appears that the frame grid with the smallest object ID does not get updated.

   Expected Result: All selected frame grids should reflect the changes.

5. problem with optical margin alignment and world-ready paragraph composer

   1. This happens in multiple versions of InDesign. I've reproduced it in ID CS 6 (8.1.0.420), ID CC 2019 (14.0.3.433), ID 2021 (16.4.0.55), and ID 2022 (17.0.0.68).

   2. Steps to reproduce:
      (1) Open InDesign
      (2) Create a new empty document
      (3) Create a text frame that is 100 mm by 100 mm
      (4) Place Text4.txt
      (5) Go Type > Story > check Optical Margin Alignment

   3. Expected result:
      The left margin should be somewhat ragged because the * character needs to be shifted left to make the margin appear straight. The right margin should be completely even because each line ends with the same word.

   4. Actual result:
      The left margin is correctly ragged. The right margin is ragged instead of being even.

   5. Text4.jpg shows the result with the ragged right margin.

   6. Notes:
      (1) This bug occurs with the World-Ready Paragraph Composer. It does not occur with the Adobe Paragraph Composer. Switching the composer produces the expected results.
      (2) This bug is related to soft hyphens (0xAD). If these are removed from the data then the expected results are produced.

6. Serious problem of "^" for GREP search

   Enter only "^" in the GREP search string field and click the search button to select the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph. But this cannot be used for replacement. The replacement result is 0.
   I gave up that it was only useful for simple pointing tricks, but when I run it from a script the application hangs.

   It is like this. (When executed, the rainbow cursor will rotate forever.
   Please be careful. )

   app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^";
   var res = app.activeDocument.findGrep ();

   If the replacement string field is "~ c" (the contents of the clipboard), the first character is lost from the original text instead of entering it.
   This is also a very dangerous behavior.

   Requests for improvement include:
   Improved to prevent hang when executing the above script,
   If possible, replace text (add a character string to the beginning of a paragraph).

   GREP検索文字列の欄に"^"だけを入力、検索ボタンをクリックすると、段落の先頭の挿入点が選択されます。しかしこれを置換には利用できません。置換結果は0個となります。
   単なるポインティングの小技にしか役に立たないと諦めていましたが、これをスクリプトから実行するとアプリケーションがハングアップします。

   こんな具合です。（実行するとレインボーカーソルが永遠に回転します。
   ご注意ください。）

   app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^";
   var res = app.activeDocument.findGrep();

   また、置換文字列の欄が"~c"（クリップボードの内容）などの場合、それが入る代わりに元のテキストから先頭の1文字が失われます。
   これも非常に危険な挙動であると言えます。

   改善の要望としては、
   上記のようなスクリプトを実行した際にハングアップしないよう改善、
   そして可能であればテキストを置換（段落の先頭に文字列を追加）できるよう改善。

8. Multiple variables in a TOC

   While having headlines with zwo or more variables in the document, the TOC will be horrible wrong - it looks like a variable-puzzle.

   This mistake destroys any dream of creating efficiently catalogues and users are forced to use any kind of dirty-trick or handle on very expensive way a "handmade-process".

   This Bug is known since CS5.x.
   So please: Repair this Bug - now!

9. [ID-4216162]A splitted footnote with three lines violates keep options and makes a widow instead of an orphan

   1. Version of Adobe InDesign
      This issue appears in every InDesign versions since footnotes are supported.
      Bug reports / feature requests (from CS3 up to CS6) have been ignored in the past.

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues
      given:
      a) a footnote with three text lines
      b) splitting footnotes allowed in the footnote options
      c) keep options: at start/end of Paragraph 2/2 (2 lines at start, 2 lines at end)

   Play with the textframes hight so that the footnote is forced to be splitted. It will only split 2/1, not 1/2.

   1. Actual result
      The footnots splits with 2 lines in the textframe within the footnote starts and ends with one single line (widow) in the next textframe.

   2. Expected result
      a) best choice: hold the keep options!
      (e.g. 2 at start / 2 at end; so don't split a footnote with 3 and less lines).
      b) alternative: make an orphan (full line at the start of a footnote paragraph) instead of a widow; widows are absolutely not allowed (because they ony fill a part of a line, maybe only one word)

   3. Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)
      Screenshots appended

13. ID 2020 - Indent in combination with wrap text around an image not working

    In Indesign 2020, whenever I want to wrap text next to an image, but the text also has an indent the text jumps from the supposed position.
    In Indesign 2019 this did not happen. The text was wrapped nicely next to the image, the way you should expect.

    My guess what happens here, is that the indent specs are applied not the the edge of the frame, but to the edge of the text. Which corrupts the spacing between the image and the text.

    I'm working with the latest 2020 version on iMac with Catalina

    FIXED  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Senior Lead Quality Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

    This issue is addressed with a new option "Honor Text Indents in addition to Text Wrap" in Preferences > Composition dialog. This option is ON for new docs created in ID2023 and needs to be turned ON for docs created in older versions of InDesign when opened in ID2023.

15. Bug when editing link text when changes are tracked

    There it a bug which occurs when the following takes place.

    1. Track changes is activated for a text frame in InDesign.
    2. A user adds text that will include a hyperlink.

    (See Image1.)

    1. A second user creates the hyperlink in the text.
    2. This user also then makes a change to the text that contains the hyperlink.

    (See Image2)

    1. If the ICML file is exported for editing in InCopy and then placed again into the document the formatting will change in the places where the original content was added - which follow the change in the text which contains the hyperlink. Depending on how this occurs text content can also be duplicated following the original text.

    (See image3)

    Image3 shows that the default hyperlink styling (blue with underlining) now extends to the end of the original text. The hyperlink itself also extends that far.

    This will happen in any place where a change occurs in text containing a hyperlink that was originally added by another user. It is not likely to occur very often (due to the nature of the steps that need to occur in a specific order) however the results could very big problems if they are not caught.

16. GREP position marker "^" = Beginning of Paragraph (not beginning of a new line after a forced line break)

    Dear Support,

    with the GREP position marker "^" for "Beginning of Paragraph", the GREP-search should consider the position of the beginning of a paragraph.
    But this marker does not only recognize the beginning of a paragraph, but also the beginning of a new line after a forced line break (SHIFT-RETURN).

    This is not correct: A forced new line is not the beginning of a paragraph.
    The only correct way would be to consider the beginning of a paragraph (RETURN).

    Sometimes you can use "(?=\r)\w+" to look for a word behind a Return instead of "^\w+" to find only the hits at the beginning of a paragraph. However, a combination with the search for a paragraph format can be disturbing here: with the lookbehind combined with a paragraph style only those places are found, where two consecutive paragraphs have the same paragraph style.

    Please correct the effect of ^ to only beginning of paragraph (and not forced line break).

17. GREP search failed to match all text in a story

    We use to be able to search all text in a story by using this (?s).+ code. It’s working fine in CS6. But in CC2019, 2020, and 2021 on both Mac and Windows it will fail to select all text in the story if there is more than ~ 50000 character. Only the first ~ 50000 will be selected.

    This might be related to an old bug that was introduced in 14.0.2 that was fixed in 14.0.3.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Create a document with one story containing more than 50000 characters
    2. Do a GREP Find using (?s).+

    A similar issues when trying to use \X+ to select all text in a story. Only some portions of the text over multiple of ~ 50000 text will be selected.

18. Clicking document-installed font from font list gives error to "activate font" and doesn't change font.

    InDesign 14.0 on Windows 10 x64

    I just upgraded to InDesign 14.0, and there appears to be a bug when clicking a document-installed font from the font list. The font list gives an error message to "Click 'Activate' button to activate fonts" and the text frame keeps the existing font, instead of changing to the new font.

    Expected result:
    The expected result would be the same behavior as InDesign 13.1, where you could click a document-installed font from the font list, and the text frame would update to the newly selected font.

    Actual result:
    In InDesign 14.0, clicking a document-installed font from the font list gives an error message to "Click 'Activate' button to activate fonts" and the text frame font stays the same.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create a new document in InDesign.
    2. Create a new text frame with the word "Test." Save and then close.
    3. In the same location as your new document, create a "Document fonts" folder. Copy an OTF or TTF font file into this folder. In my case, I copied "Sacremento-Regular.ttf" into this folder.
    4. Reopen the new InDesign document you saved in step 2.
    5. Select the text in the text frame. Note the current font (most likely Minion Pro).
    6. From the type list, select the document-installed font you copied into the "Document fonts" folder.
    7. Note the "Click 'Activate' button to activate fonts" error message, and that the font for the text frame has remained the same.

19. Indents not holding after page break

    1. InDesign CC 2018, though I logged this bug for 2017 as well. It may also have existed as far back as CS6. I had hoped it would be fixed in this release.
    2. Create a paragraph style that has a left indent and set text in that paragraph style. Set enough text to flow onto a second page.
    3. The text should retain the left indent after the page break.
    4. Sometimes, the first line of text after the page break does not retain the indent.

20. "GREP Load Find with selected text" is incomplete on macOS

    version: any OS: any macOS
    Edit menu > Keyboard Shortcuts > Text and Tables > “GREP Load Find with selected text” also “GREP Load Find and Find Next instance”

    If the selected text contains meta characters that are escaped with a backslash, such as "End of Paragraph" (\r) or tab characters (\t), they are all captured as ¥r and ¥t.
    I’m forced to retype the ¥ into a \ before starting the search.
    On Windows, it works without retyping.

    “Forced line break" (\n) is not a problem as a function, but the display is corrupted, which makes me uneasy.

    It is a pity because it is a very useful function.

    選択テキストに「段落の終わり」（\r）やタブ文字（\t）など、バックスラッシュでエスケープするメタ文字がある場合、すべて¥r, ¥tとして取り込まれる。
    検索を開始する前に¥をバックスラッシュ\ に入力し直す必要に駆られている。
    Windowsでは再入力を必要とせず動作した。

    「強制改行」（\n）は機能としては問題ないが、表示が崩れており不安である。
