Variable font sliders are laggy
Variable font sliders are much less smooth in InDesign, compared to Illustrator. They are much laggier.
Attached is a screen recording of the Acumin variable font being used in Illustrator (top) and InDesign (bottom).

fontproblem – strange ligatures – invisible font
Hi there
In InDesign CC23 we have the problem that we sometimes have some issues with ligatures. We have the font Minion Pro activates in the Library. and somehow have the problem, that the ligatures appear to be a completely different character, see the screenshot.
the problem could be resolved by deleting the Minion Font from the application folder > Ressources > Required > Fonts. the Ligatures changed back to the correct character. Or i deactivate the minion regular in the finder. But i need the font for other apps as well, so i need to activate the regular font…5 votes -

Nonbreaking Space shortcut doesn't work on mac
The shortcut for the "Nonbreaking Space" (option+command+X) doesn't work anymore in Indesign 2023 (and 2022). Clearing cache and preferences didn't fix it.

[EPV] Footnote references vanish in tables when the Adobe World-Ready Composer is applied
Hi together,
tested with InDesign 2020 and also with the current InDesign 2023 version 18.1.0.51 on Windows 10.
If I apply one of the two Adobe World-Ready Composers to text in a table the footnote references in the text will vanish.
The footnote texts themselves do not. It's just the rendering of the footnote reference numbers.See also this thread at Adobe InDesign Forum:

InDesign 2023 (18.0)
When attempting to switch the font family, the font menu jumps all the way to the top of the list instead of moving up to the previous font family in the list.
Hack solution: If you choose a different weight and then attempt to change the font family, the font menu works correctly and doesn't jump to the top.
This makes 2023 unusable, downgrading until fixed.

Index sorting: offering choices «letter by letter» vs «word by word» vs user defined
When generating an index, InDesign has always use letters by letters sorting. It would be far useful if InDesign Index offer the choice between:
a) letters by letters;
b) Words by Words;
or c) Custom user entryHaving to manually fix multiple level of indexes is painful and make no sense at all with a computer generated content like an Index.
PS: Affinity Publisher is using «words by words» by default.

Hyphenation at page break while option »Hyphenate Across Column« is not selected
InDesign 16.0.2
InDesign 13.1.1The option not to "Hyphenate Across Column" in hyphenation settings does not seem to work reliably. Not in InDesign CC 2018 and not in InDesign CC 2021.
Sometimes it is ignored and sometimes it is taken into account. See the appended screenshots.
With each recomposing of the text/stories, the behaviour can change: sometimes this way and sometimes that way.
Please make the behaviour computable.Kind regards

paragraph shading where inline table is used
Indesign all versions:
I often use pararaph shading to give my text some extra attention. I may also have tables in this text, that require the same shading. But unfortunately, that's not possible with inline tables. When I instead use inline graphics, the shading works as expected.
Seems like a bug to me!

Variable Font: top of "U" wiggles as you change weight (FreeType bug)
Download and unzip https://www.dropbox.com/s/3b6k0izkm5ma3dy/200719-AdobeVFBug.zip?dl=1
Install the font from font/DaikonVF-mini.ttf
Run InDesign 15.1.1
Type "AU" and choose the Daikon VF font
Click the Variable Font button and move the weight slider between the extreme locations. Observe how the top of "U" "wiggles" (jumps up and down). This is shown in videos/DaikonVF-InDesign-15.1.1.mp4
The same problem occurs in Illustrator 24.2.1 and I have logged it at https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/40945024-variable-font-bug-wiggling-top-of-u
The same problem occurs in DTL OTmaster 7.9 and in FontView 2019 (an open source app built from https://github.com/googlefonts/fontview ) — both apps use older versions of the FreeType library.

Footnotes Issue
Dear Sir or Madame,
since the automatic End-/footnotes have been implemented in indesign we have critical issues working with the program.
We are a publishing company with several designers and do also publications with different languages (CC2014 was the last version, which worked without problems, as there have not yet been automatic footnotes).
If we have a publication/book with two or more languages we work with different layers in indesign – for each language one layer. The problem starts, when we have also footnotes to work with. After finishing the layout in the first language, we have to duplicate the…5 votes -
Cannot save cross-reference format with delimiter set to "false"
When creating a cross-reference format to control the appearance of a cross reference, using the <fullPara delim="" includeDelim="false"/> format refuses to save the includeDelim="false" component in the format. It will save a value of "true" but after entering false and choosing save, upon editing the reference format, the includeDelim="false" property is gone.

Text Frame Options, Baseline Options, First baseline, Offset setting not respected
InDesign is changing the Text Frame Options / First Baseline / Offset to the default on existing documents.
I open a document where nearly all my text boxes were set to "Cap Height" and they have all been turned to "Ascent" and now no longer fit in their text boxes. I have to open a Text Frame Options, click Baseline Options tab, and pull down the First Baseline, Offset to Cap height FOR EVERY PAGE, (after selecting all and changing to the direct selection tool)!5 votes
