1. Duden-Hyphenation changes the language in preferences

   After setting Duden hyphenation in Preferences, the next time the menu is opened, it will change to "1996 Alte Rechtschreibung" instead of "2006 Neue Rechtschreibung". (only on WIN-machines?!?)

3. Error on Inset Spacing on Text Frame

   The Inset spacing on a Text Frame can be set to keep text from the edge of a box as in previous versions. However I am finding that when I request the frame be resized to fit the text exactly the bottom inset is not being recognised. Is this an recognised issue?

4. Keyboard Shortcut Doesn't Work

   When assigning alternate shortcut keys to Edit/Copy (CTRL+INSERT) and Edit/Cut (SHIFT+DELETE), these keys don't function as expected. These keys were assigned in Default, Text, and Table contexts. CTRL+INSERT does nothing and SHIFT+DELETE removes text but does not put it in clipboard. This last one can cause data loss; I have do UNDO the removed text and then cut it using CTRL+X instead.

6. Inline input for non-Latin text does not work

   Clicking the "advanced type" preference to "Use inline input for non-Latin text" does not work. The annoying popup frames make it impossible to type Japanese at a decent pace. Things worked fine in CC 2017. but someone forgot to do something here, it seems.
   I clicked and unclicked, closed down and started again. Same error.

9. Right to Left paragraph tool

   I've got a ME supporting CC but the 2017 versions of pretty much every Adobe program I've encountered is faulty when it comes to middle east features... even when it has support, it's very hard to find.

   My InDesign supports world-ready single lines and I even somehow managed to get the right-to-left/left-to-right icons on my paragraph window, but after re-installing InDesign, I lost it and I can't get it back.

   Please make this easier to use. It's very hard for middle eastern-character using people to work like this.

11. Multiple Bugs in CC17

    Display issue 1
    Random lines appeared on my screen. Baseline grid and guides were hidden as I was in Preview Mode, no explanation for these lines.

    Display issue 2
    Text doesn’t display correctly when I apply a different Paragraph Style Sheet. (It displays the text in both the original Paragraph Style and new paragraph style on top of one another, even though the new Paragraph Style is selected). I needed to deselect and reselect another paragraph of text to rectify the issue.

    Dialogue box issues
    Both videos show how I’m unable to select from the drop down menu in InDesign. In the first video I want to select the ‘Photoshop Path’ from the Clipping Path dialogue box, but am unable to do so.
    The second video show how I want to create a PDF (via File/Export) but I cannot change the PDF settings from the drop down menu.
    Needed to quit the program and restart to rectify the problem.

12. Critical Bug Report: InDesign 2024 ME ExtendScript Fails to Set RTL Properties

    We are experiencing a severe and persistent bug in Adobe InDesign 2024 Middle Eastern Edition (ME) where basic Right-to-Left (RTL) text properties cannot be set via ExtendScript, even though the same actions work manually through the UI.

    This issue effectively prevents any automation or workflow scripting for Farsi/Arabic content, despite using the designated ME version.

    1. Environment & Problem Summary Detail Value InDesign Version 2024 (Middle Eastern/ME Edition) Issue Scripting fails to set paragraphDirection, storyDirection, and justification to RTL values. Root Cause The ExtendScript Object Model exhibits a fundamental contradiction (a "Catch-22") when trying to set RTL properties.

    صادر کردن به «کاربرگ‌نگار»
    The core problem is that the application does not accept either of the two standard methods for setting an enumerated property: the string name or the numeric ID.

    1. Technical Breakdown and Error Logs The script attempts to set the properties to their RTL values (e.g., Farsi/RTL). We have confirmed the official numeric values for these properties:

    RIGHTTOLEFT_DIRECTION = 1920290924

    RIGHT_ALIGNMENT = 1852796515 (for justification workaround)

    WORLDREADYPARAGRAPHER = 1969449826

    The following errors were logged when attempting to apply the settings:

    A. Failure to Set Justification (Alignment)
    The script attempted to use the numeric value for Right Alignment as a workaround, but was rejected.

    Property Targeted: basicParagraphStyle.justification

    Value Used: 1852796515 (Right Alignment numeric value)

    Error Received: Script Alert: Invalid value for set property 'justification'. Expected Justification enumerator, but received 1852796515.

    Conclusion: The application refuses the numeric ID for justification, demanding the non-working Enum name (ParagraphAlignment.RIGHT_ALIGN).

    B. Failure to Set Paragraph Direction (The Core Issue)
    Previous tests showed that when attempting to set paragraphDirection using the numeric value, a similar error occurred:

    Property Targeted: basicParagraphStyle.paragraphDirection

    Value Used: 1920290924 (RTL Direction numeric value)

    Error Received (from earlier test): Invalid value for set property 'paragraphDirection'. Expected ParagraphDirectionOptions enumerator, but received 1920290924.

    Conclusion: The application insists on the Enum name (ParagraphDirectionOptions.RIGHTTOLEFT_DIRECTION) but simultaneously fails to recognize or accept that Enum when used in the script.

    C. Failure to Set Composer
    In earlier tests, even fundamental properties like the composer failed, suggesting a deep configuration issue:

    Property Targeted: basicParagraphStyle.composer

    Error Received (from earlier test): TextComposer is undefined

    Conclusion: This confirms a failure to recognize even basic object names for text engines.

    1. Final Conclusion and Call to Action The consistent failure across multiple RTL-specific properties, coupled with the application's rejection of both standard methods (Enums and numeric IDs), points to a critical bug in the ExtendScript API implementation of the InDesign 2024 ME edition.

    Action Required:

    Please investigate the internal mechanism that handles the conversion of Enums/Numeric IDs for RTL properties (specifically paragraphDirection, storyDirection, and justification) in the ExtendScript Object Model for InDesign ME versions.

    The bug must be patched to ensure that these properties can be reliably set using either the documented Enum names or their corresponding numeric IDs.

    This fix is essential for any developer relying on automation for Middle Eastern publishing workflows. Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.

17. Feature Requests: Table Cell Intersection Styling and Multi-Page Table Cell Support for Merged Cells

    Request 1: Multi-Page Table Cell Support for Merged Cells
    Current Problem:
    InDesign cannot break merged table cells across pages, creating significant limitations for complex hierarchical tables. When a merged cell spans more rows than can fit on a single page, the entire table becomes unviewable or requires manual workarounds.
    Real-World Scenario:
    • Level 1: A main category (e.g., "Strategic Goal") spans 30 rows
    • Level 2: 30 detailed items, each in individual rows
    • Current Issue: The merged cell cannot break across pages, making the table unusable
    Proposed Solution:
    Implement automatic cell threading for merged cells across page breaks, similar to Microsoft Word's functionality:
    • Allow merged cells to split naturally at page boundaries
    • Maintain visual continuity with repeated cell content or indicators
    • Preserve cell formatting and styles across page breaks
    • Optional: Add "Keep with next X rows" setting for better control
    Technical Benefits:
    • Maintains InDesign's superior table styling capabilities
    • Enables complex document structures without design compromises
    • Reduces manual workarounds and increases productivity
    • Aligns with user expectations from other professional document tools

    Request #2: Table Cell Intersection Styling
    Current Limitation:
    Table cells cannot have rounded corners or customized intersection points because cells share borders rather than having independent edges.
    Conceptual Innovation:
    Instead of trying to add "corner radius" to cells (which is geometrically impossible with shared borders), introduce Intersection Point Styling.
    Proposed Feature: "Intersection Styles"
    Similar to current Line Styles, add styling options for where cell borders meet:
    Intersection Style Options:
    • Round: Curved intersection points
    • Beveled: Angled corner cuts
    • Notched: Small decorative cuts
    • Custom: User-defined intersection shapes
    • Weighted: Different styles based on border thickness
    Implementation Details:
    Current: Line Style (solid, dashed, dotted, custom)
    Proposed: + Intersection Style (round, beveled, notched, custom)
    Technical Precedent:
    • SVG supports stroke-linejoin properties
    • CSS has similar capabilities with border-radius and border-collapse
    • Vector graphics software already handles line intersections
    Benefits:
    • Maintains table structure integrity
    • Provides design flexibility without breaking functionality
    • More logical than impossible "cell corner radius"
    • Expandable system for future intersection decorations

    Impact Statement:
    These improvements would:
    1. Eliminate major workflow barriers for complex document design
    2. Distinguish InDesign further from competitors by solving real problems
    3. Maintain InDesign's superiority in professional typography and layout
    4. Address frequent user requests without compromising existing functionality
    Both features leverage InDesign's existing strengths while addressing fundamental limitations that force users toward less capable alternatives for specific use cases.

18. Strange Characters (e.g., "HNY6") Appear When Pressing Spacebar with Caps Lock On (macOS Sequoia 15.5)

    Title:
    Strange Characters (e.g., "HNY6") Appear When Pressing Spacebar with Caps Lock On (macOS Sequoia 15.5)

    Description:
    I’m experiencing a bug in Adobe InDesign (latest version) running on macOS Sequoia 15.5 using a MacBook Pro. When Caps Lock is on and I press the spacebar while typing, instead of inserting a space, InDesign types a string of random characters like “HNY6.”

    This issue happens consistently and seems isolated to InDesign. Other apps (like Notes or Pages) do not show this behavior. I’ve confirmed the problem still occurs after disabling third-party keyboard tools and checking input sources. It only happens when Caps Lock is engaged and I press spacebar.

    Please investigate and resolve this compatibility issue. It impacts workflow significantly when working with all-caps text.

    I am trying to replace text in multiple stories throughout the document. Each story is formatted with text and tabs (not a table). The find/change uses the FIND/CHANGE>TEXT option. I am searching for "28 May 2025" to change it to "2 July 2025". When I search, find, find/change, and change all, the results append the page number in triplicate in front of the leading date digit. For example, page 9 (attached) is "0909092 July 2025" and page 42 is "4242422 July 2025". When I copied the text to include in this report (see attached), only date date is captured in the clipboard (2 July 20v25).

    The reason I was doing this is I wanted to change the date to a output date Text Variable. I had hoped text variables were part of find change: the find is available in GREP, but not in the Change To options.

    So, just prior to producing the error above, I added the Output Date in the position I wanted. I could not copy the variable and use it in the Change To field, so I used the Covert Variable to Text that one instance of the output date. I copied the text '2 July 2025", and used the basic Find/Change>Text intending to change "28 May 2025" to change it to "2 July 2025". That's when ID appends the six digits that are three pairs of the page number.

    Everything works as planned if I duplicate the original document, and repeating the process leaving out the Convert to Text option.
