2. Indesign performance issue : Slow work of Indesign when editing text with large footnotes

   I'd like to report a bug. Please follow the scenario below:

   1. In a single column with lots of text in it, make two columns for a fragment of text

   2. In text within the two-column setup, make a footnote. Add several lines of text to the footnote

   3. Turn on the "Span Footnotes Across Columns" feature so that footnote ends up in the same group with the footnotes at the bottom of the page rather than below the two-column fragment

   4. Expected behaviour: normal editing can be performed after these manipulations

   5. Observed behaviour: any text editing after turning on the "Span Footnotes Across Columns" feature becomes lethargic and near impossible. Turning this option off immediately solves the speed issues.

   Please log a bug to fix this behaviour.

3. problem with optical margin alignment and world-ready paragraph composer

   1. This happens in multiple versions of InDesign. I've reproduced it in ID CS 6 (8.1.0.420), ID CC 2019 (14.0.3.433), ID 2021 (16.4.0.55), and ID 2022 (17.0.0.68).

   2. Steps to reproduce:
      (1) Open InDesign
      (2) Create a new empty document
      (3) Create a text frame that is 100 mm by 100 mm
      (4) Place Text4.txt
      (5) Go Type > Story > check Optical Margin Alignment

   3. Expected result:
      The left margin should be somewhat ragged because the * character needs to be shifted left to make the margin appear straight. The right margin should be completely even because each line ends with the same word.

   4. Actual result:
      The left margin is correctly ragged. The right margin is ragged instead of being even.

   5. Text4.jpg shows the result with the ragged right margin.

   6. Notes:
      (1) This bug occurs with the World-Ready Paragraph Composer. It does not occur with the Adobe Paragraph Composer. Switching the composer produces the expected results.
      (2) This bug is related to soft hyphens (0xAD). If these are removed from the data then the expected results are produced.

4. A splitted footnote with three lines violates keep options and makes a widow instead of an orphan

   1. Version of Adobe InDesign
      This issue appears in every InDesign versions since footnotes are supported.
      Bug reports / feature requests (from CS3 up to CS6) have been ignored in the past.

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues
      given:
      a) a footnote with three text lines
      b) splitting footnotes allowed in the footnote options
      c) keep options: at start/end of Paragraph 2/2 (2 lines at start, 2 lines at end)

   Play with the textframes hight so that the footnote is forced to be splitted. It will only split 2/1, not 1/2.

   1. Actual result
      The footnots splits with 2 lines in the textframe within the footnote starts and ends with one single line (widow) in the next textframe.

   2. Expected result
      a) best choice: hold the keep options!
      (e.g. 2 at start / 2 at end; so don't split a footnote with 3 and less lines).
      b) alternative: make an orphan (full line at the start of a footnote paragraph) instead of a widow; widows are absolutely not allowed (because they ony fill a part of a line, maybe only one word)

   3. Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)
      Screenshots appended

   1. Version of Adobe InDesign

5. GREP search failed to match all text in a story

   We use to be able to search all text in a story by using this (?s).+ code. It’s working fine in CS6. But in CC2019, 2020, and 2021 on both Mac and Windows it will fail to select all text in the story if there is more than ~ 50000 character. Only the first ~ 50000 will be selected.

   This might be related to an old bug that was introduced in 14.0.2 that was fixed in 14.0.3.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Create a document with one story containing more than 50000 characters
   2. Do a GREP Find using (?s).+

   A similar issues when trying to use \X+ to select all text in a story. Only some portions of the text over multiple of ~ 50000 text will be selected.

6. PDF/X-1a運用において、危険度が高い「画像の配置方法」を発見しましたので報告させていただきます。

   Indesign （15.1.3）（16.4）（17.3）などで以下の現象を確認できます。
   表を作成し、「セルをグラフィックセルに変換」という機能を使用せずに、空のままのセル内に画像を配置します。
   配置方法は、何も選択していない状態で「ファイル」、「配置」、画像を選択して「開く」、配置先のセルをクリックといったものです。
   この配置方法でドキュメントを作成し、「プリント」より出力して確認したところ何の問題もありません。
   印刷会社へ渡すためのPDF/X-1aを「書き出し」より出力します。
   期待する結果としては、「プリント」からの出力結果と同等のPDFが作成されることです。
   実結果は、Illustratorのドロップシャドウが黒ベタに、同ぼかし効果が無効に、Photoshopのレイヤマスクが黒ベタになったPDFが作成されてしまいます。
   以上です。

7. GREP position marker "^" = Beginning of Paragraph (not beginning of a new line after a forced line break)

   Dear Support,

   with the GREP position marker "^" for "Beginning of Paragraph", the GREP-search should consider the position of the beginning of a paragraph.
   But this marker does not only recognize the beginning of a paragraph, but also the beginning of a new line after a forced line break (SHIFT-RETURN).

   This is not correct: A forced new line is not the beginning of a paragraph.
   The only correct way would be to consider the beginning of a paragraph (RETURN).

   Sometimes you can use "(?=\r)\w+" to look for a word behind a Return instead of "^\w+" to find only the hits at the beginning of a paragraph. However, a combination with the search for a paragraph format can be disturbing here: with the lookbehind combined with a paragraph style only those places are found, where two consecutive paragraphs have the same paragraph style.

   Please correct the effect of ^ to only beginning of paragraph (and not forced line break).

8. WorldReady settings go missing in [Basic Paragraph] style

   Adobe InDesign (ME) 2021, 2020, CC 2019, ..., CS6
   macOS and Windows

   InDesign's WorldReady settings (Paragraph Direction, Kashidas, etc.) are being stripped from a document's [No Paragraph Style] style when opened on a machine with a missing 3rd-party plug-in (like Em Software's InCatalog). This appears to happen with any 3rd-party plug-in that adds a text attribute with a prefix that's lower than the WorldReady plug-in's prefix. While the following steps use the Middle Eastern app (English Arabic), where there's a UI to see the style's empty/blank WorldReady entries, we've confirmed that this problem affects all app variants (including English (Roman)).

   To reproduce:
   1. Install ME version of InDesign 2021 (English Arabic).
   2. Install Em Software's InCatalog plug-in (http://emsoftware.com/products/emcatalog/ ) or any plug-in that adds a text attribute with a prefix ID below that of WorldReady's 0x50f00. (The SDK's BasicTextAdornment sample will work if its kBscTAPrefixNumber is changed to something like 0x43a00.)
   3. Restart InDesign while holding down Shift-Control-Option/Alt (to ensure the session workspace's [Basic Paragraph] style is rebuilt to include the new plug-in's text attribute).
   4. Create a new document and add a text frame containing a few paragraphs using the [Basic Paragraph] style. This text should compose as right-to-left (the ME version's default direction, as specified by WorldReady's kParagraphDirAttrBoss). Create a numbered list, since that's a great way to see the problem.
   5. Save the document.
   6. Quit InDesign.
   7. Remove InCatalog (or whatever plug-in was installed in step 2).
   8. Restart InDesign.
   9. Open the document that was saved in step 5.

   Alternatively:
   1. Install ME version of InDesign 2021 (English Arabic).
   2. Restart InDesign while holding down Shift-Control-Option/Alt (to ensure a clean session workspace)
   3. Open the attached SavedWithInCat(2021ME).indd file. (Well, UserVoice won't let me upload it. Ask & I can send directly.)

   Notice that the text frame in the opened document incorrectly flows left-to-right and the numbered list's numbers wrongly show on the left rather than the right. Edit the [Basic Paragraph] style and note that the WorldReady settings in the Middle East Character Formats and Indents and Spacing panels are blank/empty. (See attached before-after screenshots.) One would expect a style to survive intact even when opened on a machine with a missing 3rd-party plug-in, but instead some of its settings may be at risk of being lost.

   We've used WorldReady as the victim here, but this problem affects any plug-in, Adobe or 3rd party, that adds a text attribute with a prefix that's higher than the missing plug-in's prefix (such as Em Software's InData).

   Details: We've isolated what looks like a long-standing problem (bug?) with the SDK's AttributeBossList::CopyInto(), where it stops the copy when it encounters an attribute whose plug-in is missing. Instead, the copy should continue after the missing plug-in's entry order to produce a complete list of non-missing attributes. Copies produced by AttributeBossList's Duplicate(), ApplyAttributes(), and its copy-constructor are all affected.

9. Hanging drop cap has wrong indents in 2023 v18

   In v18 (2023), when a paragraph has both a drop cap and a hanging indent (negative first line indent), the indent gets messed up on subsequent lines.

   This came from a bug report by Lut Van Nooten on the InDesign Secrets LinkedIn group:
   https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7006264075831648258/

   The solution is to disable the new Composition Preference: "Honor Text Indents in addition to Text Wrap"

   However, in this case, this is clearly a bug because there is no text wrap!

10. Grep expressions with ~F in a character class fail in endnotes

    The inclusion of ~F in a character class invalidates grep expressions in endnotes.

    InDesign version: 14.0.2.324 (with the GREP fix installed)

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Open the attached document. It contains a single page with text and an endnote.
    2. In the GREP tab of the Find/What window, enter the following GREP expression:

    \d[^.,;~F]+

    And target the document. The expression matches from a digit up to the next period, comma, semicolon, or footnote marker.

    Expected result: The expression should match some text in the main text and in the endnote.
    Actual Result: The expression does not match anything in the endnote.

    To show that it's ~F that's the problem, use this expression:

    \d[^.,;]+

    It matches in the main text and in the footnote, as expected.

    The inclusion of ~F in a character class invalidates grep expressions in endnotes.

    InDesign version: 14.0.2.324 (with the GREP fix installed)

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Open the attached document. It contains a single page with text and an endnote.

    Hi,
    Thanks for reporting the issue
    We are looking into it

    -InDesign Team

11. BUG (since CS6!): Nonbreaking Space (^S) Issue with World-Ready-Composer

    Issue:
    When using the ›World-Ready Composer‹, the character ›Nonbreaking Space‹ (^S) behaves exactly like the character ›Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width)‹ (^s); i.e.: in justified paragraphs, its width does not adjust (like regular spaces do), but it is fixed and unchanging.
    This only occurs with the ›Adobe World-Ready Composer‹ (both ›Paragraph‹ and ›Single-line‹) and not with the regular ›Adobe Composer‹ (neither ›Paragraph‹ nor ›Single-line‹).
    It is not related to the font used, it has been tested with many different fonts.

    1. Versions with this bug, tested and confirmed by myself or colleagues:
       InDesign (Standard Version) CS6, CC2015.0
       InDesign (Middle Eastern Version) CC2020 (15.1.2), CC2021 (16.0)
       I suppose it occurs in all versions since CS6 (when the ›World-Ready Composer‹ was first introduced, afaik)!

    2. Steps to reproduce this issue
       Enter a few lines of text and insert the character ›Nonbreaking Space‹ somewhere. Choose any of the ›Justify‹ paragraph styles and select the ›World-Ready Composer‹. Switch to the regular ›Adobe Composer‹ with the same setup and compare the result.

    3. Expected Result:
       The ›Nonbreaking Space‹ should adjust its width just like any other of the regular spaces.

    4. Actual Result:
       The ›Nonbreaking Space‹ does not adjust its width.

    5. Example as Screenshot attached.
       (Menu is in German: ›Globaler Adobe-Absatzsetzer‹ = ›Adobe World-Ready Composer‹; ›Adobe-Absatzsetzer‹ = ›Adobe Composer‹)

    As far as I know, this issue has been reported only once before (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/39403822-non-breaking-space-is-smaller-than-regular-space-w). But in this report, it is stated incorrectly that the Nonbreaking Space would be smaller than a regular space. It can, in fact, be larger as well (e.g. in a tight line with regular spaces smaller than their 100% optimum). The real nature of the issue is that it does not vary its size.

    PLEASE FIX ASAP!
    Thanks

    This only occurs with the ›Adobe World-Ready Composer‹ (both ›Paragraph‹ and ›Single-line‹) and not with the regular ›Adobe Composer‹ (neither ›Paragraph‹ nor ›Single-line‹).
    It is not related to the font used, it has been tested with many different fonts.

    1. Versions with this bug, tested and confirmed by myself or colleagues:
       InDesign (Standard Version) CS6, CC2015.0
       InDesign (Middle Eastern Version) CC2020… more

12. Bad optical kerning for superscript "4"

    When a superscript "4" follows a closing smart quotation mark, optical kerning is set to -60 or -70 depending on font. This is too close (basically a crash).

    This is annoying for books with lots of endnotes, where superscript numbers usually follow quotation marks.

13. Invisible character

    Apply all Auto Edits inserts an invisible character before which then interferes with Find and Replace. When pasted into a GREP search, it looks like ~I, but can't be found. It can be manually removed, but this is not helpful, as I need to be able to perform a comprehensive Find/Replace.

15. arabic

    Cursor Direction when typing Arabic or other RTL languages. in Middle Eastern version ONLY.

    1. All Middle Eastern versions (English يدعم العربية)

    2. Type Arabic text. Place the cursor within text. Hold "Shift" key and click on right arrow key on the keyboard to select/highlight text. Cursor moves left and select next character on the left while clicking on right arrow.

    3. To select a character to the left of the cursor, we should hold (Shift+left arrow) To select a character to the right of the cursor, we should hold (Shift+right arrow)

    4. What actually is happening now and for over 20 years when we had Adobe PageMaker ME and Adobe Illustrator ME is the opposite cursor behavior to the what we're trying to select. We hold (Shift+right arrow) cursor will move and select text to the left, we hold (Shift+left arrow) cursor will move and select text to the right.

17. Footnote marker is replaced with an unknown character if preceded by a character with a specific Unicode pattern

    Footnote marker is replaced with an unknown character if preceded by a character with a specific Unicode pattern. Unicode pattern is U+##1a. Here are some of those characters:

    U+011a
    U+021a
    U+031a
    U+041a
    U+051a
    U+061a
    U+071a
    U+081a

    You could try the attached test file for placement in to an InDesign document. Unicode of the character following the footnote marker is : U+011a

    This happen when file format of the file is either RTF or DOC. Its not a issue with DOCX.

18. Indents incorrect when importing Word document

    When importing a Word document that contains some indented paragraphs, the left indent being set to 5mm in Word (for example), once placed in InDesign, these 5mm indents typically show as 4.992mm. This would not neccesarily be a problem except that Find/Change in InDesign will not recognise an indent to 3 decimal places and therefore this cannot be located easily and fixed. This is proving to be a big problem in my workflow as I cannot automate the process of re-styling these paragraphs using InDesign Paragraph Styles with Find/Change. This bug occurs whatever measurement system is used, i.e. mm, inches, pts etc. Version of InDesign used: 14.0.3 although the same problem exists back to CS6 at least.

19. Excel filter rejects custom Cell Range for 26-column sheets (.xlsx-only)

    Excel filter rejects custom Cell Range for 26-column sheets (.xlsx-only)

    Steps to reproduce the issues:
    1. Create a new document.
    2. Select File > Place, check Show Import Options, select attached Columns_26.xlsx file.
    3. Note nonstandard default Cell Range: A1:A@10 (should be A1:Z10).
    4. Enter custom (valid) Cell Range "A1:E5"

    Expected result:
    No error and a table containing cells A1 through E5.

    Actual result:
    Error message, "You have not entered a valid 'Cell Range'. (See attached screenshot.)

    This error is given for any sheet whose right-most column is a multiple of 26 (so Z, AZ, BZ, etc.). Place the attached Columns_52.xlsx with range "A1:E5", for example.

    Adding/removing a column (attached Columns_27.xlsx file) avoids the error.

    Versions of Adobe InDesign:
    CS6 through CC 2018.0, Windows and macOS
