Firstly, let me just say a BIG thanks for introducing Column Rules in CC 2020.

However, I've found a couple of problems so far.

1. New File


2. Draw a text frame (no text needed) and set the Columns to 2, and turn ON the Column Rule (all basic, default values).


3. Draw another text or graphic frame (doesn't matter which) and place it anywhere (doesn't matter if it overlays the text frame, or not).


4. Group the two objects.


5. HERE IS THE KEY STEP: With the group selected, turn on Text Wrap (doesn't matter which... anything other than 'None').


6. Move the group ANY amount... e.g., simply nudge it with the arrows on your keyboard. (keyboard or drag with the mouse... the results are the same).

The column rule will disappear!

If you double-click to select the 2nd object drawn (not the text frame) and nudge it on its own, the column rule will re-appear. BUT... as soon as you nudge the text frame (on its own) or nudge the group again, the column rule will disappear again.

The trigger is the Text Wrap. Without it, it behaves normally.

It does not matter if there is Text Wrap applied to the individual objects. The trigger is the Text Wrap applied to the GROUP of objects.

Hope this helps.

I'm experiencing a bug where Nested Line Styles are interfering with Grep Styles.

To reproduce:
1. Create a Character Style "Small Caps" that only applies OpenType All Small Caps.
2. Create a Character Style "No Break" that only applies the No Break rule.
3. Create a Paragraph Style "Test":
    a. In Nested Styles, add Small Caps for 1 line
    b. In Grep Styles, add:
        i. Small Caps: ([\u\d&@#\$%/]{2,}(?!\l{2,}))|([\d&@#$%]+)|(I'D)
        ii. No Break: (?<=.{55}).{15}$
4. Fill with placeholder text, and add a string of capital letters (something that matched the Small Caps grep) somewhere in the middle

You'll notice that the line style and grep small caps work, but the No Break style isn't being applied. Switch the order of the grep styles (No Break first) and now it's the opposite—No Break works but not Small Caps.

Now, remove the Line Style, and suddenly both grep styles work.

Refer to the attached screen shot. I can also provide a sample .indd file with the styles prepared. I've used styles set up like this for a while without problems, so this may be related to a recent InDesign update.
