Pasting Word tracked changes text keeps the old text as well as changes
When 'Text Only' is selected in Preferences/Clipboard Handling, pasting from a Word doc that has tracked changes results in the old edits (such as deletions) being retained in the pasted text in InDesign.
If this isn't a bug, perhaps there's a way to make these ramifications more obvious to the user.

UK spell check not recognising US spellings as incorrect
UK spell check not recognising US spellings as incorrect.
e.g the word 'customize' appears in the story. In UK English this would be 'customise'. The spell checker should recognise this as incorrect, but does not.
Spell check language has been set to UK English.

case
I am using Roboto condensed regular to write foreword for a booklet. I just wonder why I the font type is capitalised in case in default, and I cannot change it to lower case. I have tried Type > Change Case, but it doesn't work.

.CSV files cannot be placed to INDD 18.00
After updating to Indesign version 18.0, we cannot insert .csv files. We have tried different settings. So far it worked. The content does not appear in the data merge palette. When opening old files from previous version, it is not functional. In the old version inserting and original files already created works.

InDesign 18.0, textformat with bullet/numbering in tables/Textformatierung mit Nummerierung in Tabellen
- InDesign 18.0
- In table cells we put the € sign with an eighth-fourth as numbering in a paragraph format, so we don't need to type in the € sign every time. Since InDesign 18.0 the text disapears (column 1) when inserting a new text (price), as if the column seems to be too narrow. When converting the numbering into text (column 2) the text appears again. With the numbering function in it you cannot make the column smaller. There ist always a big space before the text (or after when left-aligned) (column 3).

17.3からルビが振れない
17.2.1まではテキストボックスに流したテキストに問題なくルビがふれてましたが17.3以降新規作成したテキストボックに対してルビ情報が反映されません。
17.2.1で使っていた書類を17.3と18で開いたところルビは問題なく表示出来ていてます。
しかし、その書類に新たにテキストボックスを作るとそのボックスにはルビが打てません。17.3で新規書類を作りそこに17.2.1でルビが表示されてるテキストボックスをコピーして新規書類にペーストするとルビが振れます。
18でも同様のようです。改善を望みます。

Capitalisation of letters b and i triggering the command prompt to bold and italicise copy
Issue being experienced on Adobe InDesign 2023 version 17.4 (and previous version), using MacOS Monterey v12.6.
When using shift + b or shift + i commands in indesign to create capital B or capital I, the command is instead acting as I would expect if I were to key in CMD + B or CMD + I in Microsoft or code - it is changing the font to 'Semibold' (shift + B) and 'Book italic' (shift + I) and not capitalising the letter.
The issue can be replicated reliably across all fonts loaded.
Please can this be investigated?

Bug: Find/Change of conditional text partially bad
Version: Indesign 17.x, Windows 10
Description: Find/Change dialog cannot find a text that has two or more conditions set when you select one of these to find.
Step to reproduce:
1. Write some text and mark a word.
2. Create two conditions, A and B, and assign them to that word. Exit edit mode.
3. Open Find/Change and set the filter in "Conditions" to find condition A only.
Result: Indesign cannot find a match. Logical bug.P. S. I wanted to add an INDD to demonstrate, but software says it's not allowed

Hey, can we make emoji's available for GenZ and millenial content creators?
Would make my job much more efficient if there were an emoji keyboard available natively in the software.

Parent Text Frame Offset when Autoflowing Text
When autoflowing text, the parent page text frame is being offset on every new page that's automatically added.
In the attached screenshot, the top page was manually added and text autoflowed into it from the previous page. The parent text frame is positioned as per the top page.
InDesign versions 17 to 19 (2022 to 2024).
Expect parent page text frame to be in the position it is in on the parent page.
Actual result: text frame is offset and has to be repositioned on every page manually.1 vote -

Format replacements are not counted (0 replacement(s) done when formats are changed)
Searching for double line breaks and changing the indentation to 0. It says 0 replacement(s) done, but the condition is in fact found, and the "first indent" is indeed set to 0. See attached screen shots.
Is this behaviour deliberate, since no text contents is changed, only formatting?1 vote -
buggy footnote placement
Footnotes are randomly placed in the middle of the text stream, rather than the bottom of the page. I've seen it happen a couple times, but I don't know why it happens. Other footnotes are placed in the correct position.
In Document Footnote Options, Place end of Story Footnotes at Bottom of Text is UNchecked. However, I get the same result if it IS checked.
The worst part is that there is NO way to correct this!
I tried to upload the INDD files, and a PNG screen shot, but in both cases, it produced an error, "Files are not…
