  4. Table header line (below) disappears half when editing text in InCopy

    We encounter an unusual behavior with table lines.

    When an editor edits text in InCopy and saves the changes, half of the line below the table’s headers disappears. See screenshots “Before” (expected result) and “After” (actual result) the editing. The structure of these particular tables is quite complex.

    We use Adobe InDesign/InCopy, version 15.1.3 x64, in combination with the WoodWing Studio Editorial System.

  6. Font names display inconsistently

    This is a strange one: we use this font https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/lus (you have to put a 't' on the end of that url, Uservoice thinks it's rude, apparently) it's Regular and Display weights. On two computers this shows up as (syntax here is [Font Family] / [Font Style]) Lus(t) / Regular and Lus(t) Display / Regular, respectively. On three others they show up as Lus(t) / Regular and Lus(t) / Display and there seems to be no way to align them.

    I've attached a screenshot of how the taskbar shows font on the machines that separate them out.

    The first two…

  7. Spellcheck marking correctly spelled words as incorrect

    Using the most current version of CC ID
    I always have dynamic spelling turned on, and my dictionary is set to English USA, however, some files appear to have flagged correctly spelled words as incorrect, while other files appear to be normal. Screenshot examples, 'Dark' and 'Inspiration'.

    The issue seemed to come on randomly
    Saving as IDML does not fix the issue, nor does restarting the program

  8. InDesign crashes and cannot be shut down until a hard reset is performed on Mac OS computers

    My colleagues and I have been collaborating on an indesign document on a share drive. Whenever one of us has recently opened, made any changes, and then closed it - if the other person then opens it from their computer, it crashes InDesign and it cannot be "Force Closed" and also InDesign doesn't show up in the list of open applications within Mac OS Activity Monitor.

    I'd post logs and screenshots, but (A) I don't know which logs or where to find them, and (B) our computers crashed hard after this, even preventing Electron and other apps from accessing the…

  9. Open Type Fractions are Broken

    The last several weeks I've not been able to create fractions via Open Type text alternates even though it's set to do that in advanced type preferences and it's not giving me a dropdown option when the fraction is selected as it used to. It also doesn't work via the character window route. I'm using the most up to date CC InDesign 2021.

  11. 3 page master page spread (book cover). Unable to resize just the spine, the page tool selects ALL pages on the spread.

    3 page master page spread (book cover). Unable to resize just the spine, the page tool selects ALL pages on the spread. I have discovered that the page tool works as expected when using any of the 'canned' workspaces, but using my (or any) custom workspace 'breaks' the page tool's functionality of being able to select a single page of a spread. Liquid Layout on or off makes no difference.

  12. UI Default Too **** Small!

    UI in InDesign 15.0.1 is way too small by default and not scalable. Many users have been complaining about this for years, yet you guys refuse to do anything about it, while charging us up the wazzoo for subscription fees. If this is not addressed soon, we may all abandon you for Canva.

  13. InDesign 2022 crash when updating modified links in an existing document

    I just updated to InDesgin CC 17.0. I have a MacBook Pro 2020, with OS 10.15.7. Trying to open an InDesign CS 6 file with modified links to other InDesign documents causes the application to hang up and I have to force quit it. It doesn’t matter if I choose update links or don’t update links in the dialog box. In trying to quit and reopen I did manage to recover the document, but I still cannot resolve the modified links problem, since the application hangs up every time I try to update the links in the links pallet. Same…

  14. InDesign 2022 crash when packaging

    I just updated to InDesgin CC 17.0. I have a MacBook Pro 2020, with OS 10.15.7. Trying to package InDesign document with fonts included causes the application to hang up and I have to force quit it. When I tried to package without fonts included, it worked, and saved the links.

  15. I need this function.

    성경 책에서, 온전한 텍스트를 가지고 있을 때,

    각 구절의 앞의 절을 표시하는 숫자 부분을

    그렙을 통해서, 위첨자로 바꾸는 작업을 하고 있습니다.

    그런데, 최근 전자책에서,

    TTS 기능에서,

    이 부분을 읽지 않게 해줄 필요가 생겼습니다.

    그래서, 이 부분을 윤곽선 만들기로

    일괄적으로 한꺼번에

    윤곽선 만들기가 되면 좋겠습다.

    현재는 이 기능이 준비가 안 되어 있기 때문에

    하나 하나 선택을 해서,

    윤곽선 만들기를 하고 있는데,

    한꺼번에 선택을 해서,

    한 번의 명령으로

    윤곽선 만들기가

    작업이 되면,

    조금이라도 더 번거로움이 해결되어서,

    일을 효율적으로 할 수 있게 될 것으로

    기대하고 있습니다.

    고맙습니다.

  16. Images disappear from the screen when effect (FX) is used elsewhere on document

    Photoshop tifs, Illustrator EPS and ai files disappear and are not rendered when an FX is used on a font or Illustrator file. The moment I delete the item with the FX, the images reappear.

  18. Just upgraded and the first file I open is duplicating lines and parts dissappear

    Scrolling is impossible - I get duplicated lines and parts of the document page disappears. In order to correct I have to do command "0" and the problem clears, but the second I try to scroll to the next set of pages it does the same thing
