  2. Right-to-left paragraph orientation causes problems

    Hello and thanks in advance to the respondents.
    For several months now I have been suffering from a very annoying problem in InDesign and I have not been able to find a solution.
    When I set the writing direction from right to left (using the edit menu - right to left), the arrow keys on the right and left keyboard stop responding as they should, and instead of each click the cursor moves one character to the right or left, clicking on them jumps the cursor to the beginning or end of the line.
    The problem only exists when I…

  3. Incorrect diacritic position for some letters when using bullets

    When using the latest version of Noto Sans Arabic (2.012), if bullets/numbering is enabled in InDesign for a line containing a word with a medial position jeem ج, the dot of the jeem gets out of place. If bullets/numbering are not used, then all is well. I submitted this as a bug on GitHub for the Noto Sans team, but they say it is an issue with InDesign and the layout engine. You can also see other issues on the GitHub issue at https://github.com/notofonts/arabic/issues/232.

    To reproduce:

    1. Create a text frame using the "ME Type Tool" in InDesign (for a…

  7. Corner Options remove the Inset Spacing on a Text Box

    When you create a text box with an inset spacing, if you apply a corner option, the insert spacing is removed.

    To fix it, all you got to do is go to the Text Frame Options and add the inset spacing again, but it would be great if it didn't get removed in the first place.

  8. InDesign 2024 regression: Text variable rendering breaks Google barcode font

    A sequence of numbers rendered in Google's "Libre Barcode EAN13 Text" font will not work if the text is inserted via a text variable. Entering the text verbatim with the same paragraph style produces the expected result.

    This is a regression in InDesign 2024. The attached IDML file works fine in InDesign 2023 v18.5 but not in InDesign 2024 v19.3.0.58.

    The font can be found at https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Libre+Barcode+EAN13+Text.

    (Sorry for the .idml.txt extension for the test case – this form won't let me submit .idml, .indd or .zip attachments directly.)

  10. Typing over selected numbers doesn't work the first time in ID v 19.2

    ID v 19.2 won't let my team type over a selected number the first time we try, we have to press the number on our keyboard a couple of times for it to update. In previous versions of ID we didn't have to press a number on our keyboard twice for it to type over a selection.

  11. Unable to drag & drop one character

    This task can only be done by selecting two or more characters.
    When I need to drag, e.g. a colon to the next word, it doesn't work!

  12. version 19.2 x64. The version update lost my language setting (English-Hebrew).

    The English-Hebrew setting was lost during the last few updates, which removed the ability to create bullets with a hanging indent. A minus value in the first line indent always led to an error. It was solved by uninstalling and re-installing, which then gave me the text direction options again. So a workaround is possible, but it must be done every time I update.

  13. Typing after pasting

    When pasting text in a story, the first character typed after pasting doesn’t work. For example, if I paste the character “s” then try to type “port” (so it becomes “sport”), it will only start typing at the “o,” so I will have “sort” instead of “sport.”

    I have this problem on my MacBook Air as well as on a Windows machine, so it’s not an OS issue

  14. Hide blue L brackets onscreen in endnotes

    Need a way to hide the blue "L" brackets that appear at the beginning and end of endnotes. It's very distracting when looking for details in the text while typesetting. Thanks.

  15. why does my keyboard space key bring up the save or quit command in InDesign?

    I have updated InDesign 2024 v.19.1. to the latest version. Mac OS 14.3.1. This Only happens in adobe indesign, I can get a space with the space bar in this very box and other applications, but NOt in my indesign document. I have to copy and paste a space to get one in my document. You can imagine how that slows my work.

  16. suggest uppercase accented characters as alternatives

    Italian keyboards with accented characters, do not have any way of typing uppercase accented characters. Consequently, when CAPS LOCK is on, all characters will be uppercase except the accented characters. When selecting an accented character, I get the suggestion to use the alternate glyph (which is often like a small caps character). It would be useful to have the choice of the uppercase version of a character among the suggested alternate glyphs. I suppose this could work both ways for all characters: uppercase should be a choice of alternate glyph for all lowercase characters, and lowercase should be a choice…

  17. orthographe

    Indesign 19.1

    Impossible de modifer la langue en français dans la correction orthographe / dictionnaire.
    La langue et le dictionnaire sont bien en français dans les paramètres.
    Mais la correction orthographique se fait en anglais ou en italien : Le changement de dictionnaire ne fonctionne pas dans la fenêtre orthographe.

  20. Text disappearing while editing

    On my MacBook Air when I use InDesign and I am editing text it frequently disappears then when I zoom in again it will reappear. It only ever disappears from view, it is never lost but still very annoying. It will do this about every 4 words I type.
