Important message about pasting text with endnotes appears at wrong time
Pasting text with endnote(s) does not show a message. You instead get that message the NEXT time you paste an object, even if that object is not a text box containing endnote(s).
There is also a grammar error in the message, where the word "and" should be ", which" — and there is no period at the end of the sentence.
This has been in many versions of InDesign. I am using 17.1 now.
Reproduce:
- Copy text with endnote(s) to the clipboard
- Paste text into a new thread
- Text pastes properly; a new page is added for…1 vote -
Pasting forced line breaks instead of end paragraphs (InDesign)
When pasting data from Excel, each row comes in with a Forced Line Break marker at the end, instead of an End Paragraph marker. This is a recent change within Indesign, as you used to be able to paste from excel into a table in Indesign, maintaining the proper rows and columns. Now when you paste in the same information, it doesn't recognize the end paragraph, and tries to put all the data in one row.
The same issue has been found when pasting text from Microsoft Word into Indesign - instead of End Paragraph markers, you get forced line…

cells selection
Bug 1:
See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.
Merge the first 2 cells of the first row.
Now you have 2 cells in the first row. (A and B).
Set the contents of other cells to C, D, E, F, G, H.
Now select cells B, D and E.
If you click on the Edit menu, InDesign crash.
If you choose File -> Export, InDesign crash.
On the scripting side, calling document.selection throw an exception and it is not possible to get the current selection.Bug 2:

Creating a new Cross Reference - Automatic select [All Paragraphs]
When creating a new Cross Reference entry, the windows that pop automatically pick [All Paragraphs] and in document with many table or lots of text frame, this can take very, very.... long time before the window popup.
This was introduced with CC 18.1 and is still the case up to now with CC22 (17.1).
It was ok with CC20017.
I have been reporting this behavior since April 2019 and for each release.

language quote typographer
I create epubs which contain different languages so need the language correctly attributed on xhtml files after exporting –
selecting different languages in different paragraph styles affects typographer's (curly) quotes/straight quotes – I'd expect the to follow the app preferences setting –
Advanced Character Formats > Language > [No Language] = gives straight quotes
Advanced Character Formats > Language > English: UK = gives typographer's quotes (curly)
Advanced Character Formats > Language > cy_GB = Welsh = gives straight quotes

Bug: wrong row/paragraph counting in tables
Version 17.1: if you have a table, for example 20 rows and 2 columns and you select 10 entire rows, i. e. 20 cells, ID would "Rows: 20" in the information window. If every cell has no more than one paragraph and two cells of the selected rows are empty, the paragraph count should be 18, but it's 21.
When selecting 4 rows, it counts 8 rows and 8 paragraphs, which is correct because it counts cells. When selecting 10 rows, it would could

Link Your Canon Printer to Wifi Wirelessly
The first step in connecting a Canon printer to WiFi is to locate the Wifi button on the printer. You can double-check the button by consulting the handbook that came with your printer. Now press and hold the Wifi button until you see the Wifi lamp begin to flash blue. Release the Wifi button when the Wifi lamp flashes two times. Go to your access point and hit the WPS push button to continue with the Canon printer wireless setup. The printer will then begin to display the Connecting status, indicating that it is looking for your router. The Wifi…

Font baseline grid
The baseline grid start value for Open Sans is different if the font is used from Adobe than if it's used from Google.
This results in changes in layout which is very annoying. Also, when telling indesign to fit the box to text, the box is unnecessary larger at the top.
Before the 17.0 InDesign update that wasn't the case.Someone else complained about this in November - https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/text-boxes-need-to-be-enlarged-after-update/m-p/... - the issue there is marked as solved, but it wasn't solved actually.
The issue started with 17.0, actually i was really hoping it would have been addresses in this…

text colour tint dropdown menu bug
Changing the text colour tint from 70% black to 100% black in Paragraph Styles crashes my M1 Mac mini 100% of the time.
Trying to manually change the text colour is not possible because when I click on the drop down menu for colour and tint in the control bar, the menu either doesn't appear at all, or appears for a few milliseconds and then disappears. I officially cannot work on my document now. What to do?!

Variable fonts: default face location included in style list even if not included in fvar
I sent a variable test font to Josh Hadley. It includes an fvar table that does not contain the location of the default instance. InDesign v17.0.1 on Windows will include the default location anyway in the list of styles for the font, with a made up name. Should it not restrict itself to what it finds in the fvar and STAT tables?

Notes anchor marks are rendered incorrectly
When I place a note, it affects the text box as it's rendered as a normal character.
That is - it affects the leading, the spacing, the alignment, etc.For instance, if I have a top-aligned text box with a paragraph with letter size 9pt, and I place a note somewhere in the paragraph - the entire paragraph will shift downward - as the alignment takes the top of the note anchor as the topmost "pixel" in the text box.
There is no way this is desirable. Who would want notes to affect their document layout? So I have to…

text
My text changes to alternating capital and lower case letters throughout all typed words. It does not change if I have caps lock on the keyboard but will be all caps if I select it on the menu bar. But it still shows red spelling errors with asking to add the work to the dictionary. It is shown in alternating caps/lower case letters there too.

search and replace clipboard contents
I cannot do a document-wide search and replace with clipboard-contents (formatted), when using Change All. When I attempt to replace any text with the clipboard-contents (GREP: ~c), it goes through the document, seemingly highlighting and replacing the text, but doesn't in fact change anything. It works when I do the exact search and replace string, but only using Find-and-change, and not when using Change All. Going through each instance (500+) one-by-one would take ages. Please fix the document-wide, Change All search-and-replace with clipboard-contents (formatted).

Spell Checker
Hello
I have a problem with spell checking in Indesing. The issue is that it does not correct words that are wrongly accented, for example, in Spanish, the word "como" when it should have an accent or the word "mas" when it should have an accent.
Let me explain:
The sentence (always in Spanish): ¿como te va la vida? should be written like this: ¿cómo te va la vida? and when I run the spell checker it does not detect the word "como", since it should have an accent. However, if I write ¿como te va la bida? it does…1 vote -

Random missing text which does not affect the PDF output
Greetings,
Please compare the two screenshots that I've posted. One is a shot from InDesign, and the other is a screenshot from the PDF output of the same text. As you can see there are some missing lines in when I look at the text in InDesign.
Some notes:
1) It always happens with list items (bullet lists, numbered lists)
2) The random missing text parts changes as I change the magnification (zoom) level
3) It happens on all my documents
4) I haven’t changed anything recently. No InDesign updates, etc.
5) The font used is Minion Pro and supplied…1 vote
