Character style changing while using grep
Hi Support,
I had a issue while using GREP, While replacing the manual bulleted paragraph to bullet styled paragraph,
I have used the below:
Find What:
^ ·\t(.+)$
Change to:
$1
Change Format:
Bullet_Txt (paragraph style)
Required Action:
Need to implement the paragraph style at the as-well-as eliminate the bullet with tab.
When I replace by option "change" one by one all the instances change clearly
While using "change All" option, the initial letter of roman word followed by italic word changes to italics vice versa.

Some text appearing bold where other text in same text box appears as it should
Identically formatted text showing up differently both in document and after pdf export. Likely connected to the neglected bug regarding transparent .png files causing bolding in text elsewhere in document.

Find similar image
On the latest update 18.4, the find similar image function is not working like before. I've even used an image from the Adobe stock library and it cannot find its own image. With the last version, this feature worked as expected.
To reproduce this issue, place an Adobe stock image in InDesign, right-click on it and choose "find similar image".

non-breaking space creating strange character
Non-breaking spaces have suddenly started turning into strange horizontal apostrophes in a document - see attached image, the character between Ex and Libris. The only way to rectify has been to use a fixed width non-breaking space instead. Major headache!

eyedropper changing bevel/emboss object effects in InDesign 18.4
- Create new blank document
- Draw 2 shapes and assign different bevel/emboss to each.
- Use eyedropper (with all objects settings checked) to copy and paste style from one shape to another.
I expect the other shape to take on the same bevel/emboss settings as the first
But the other shape does not always take on the same bevel/emboss opacity settings. I find the higher opacity percentage shadow overrides the lower percentage, but not vice versa.
I've not done extensive testing but prior to ID18.4 the eyedropper was consistent in copying styles from one object to another, now it isn't

18.4 crashes on splash screen. Have to rebuild preferences
Updated to 18.4 and now have to rebuild my preferences file each time I want to start InDesign. If I don't it crashes within milliseconds of the splash screen appearing. The splash screen appears momentarily, goes away and the programme doesn't load. I don't get a crash report as the programme never loads.
Seems to work OK once I've rebuilt the preferences but I have to do it EVERY time I launch InDesign. It is annoying.
I'm using InDesign 18.4 and iMac running Ventura 13.1.

Words in placed document become bold after certain characters
When we place text from a Word file, we always strip it of all existing layout. But for some reason there are some weird unicode characters that cause Indesign to make certain words bold... I'm not able to figure out why... you have a French text where a word starts with a e with an accent like ê and that word is suddely bold... even though in the Word file it isn't.
This also happens with Italics... I once had a text that used transliteration for Ancient Egyptian that is in italic and often starts with a "Ankh" symbol: Ꜥ…

InDesign CC2023 forces paragraph in overset
Since the update to InDesign v18.0 (CC2023) the first line of a Paragraph with custom Bullet (Numbering) text, gets forced in overset when the first word is longer than 8-9 characters. They don't flow to the next paragraph and there is still enough space to keep the word in the Text Frame.
In the example you'll see two Text Frames with one with the word "Duurzaamheid" cut in two and the second in overset with no space between "Duur" and "zaamheid" wich forces everything in overset. In InDesign 17.4 everything works as desired. Uploading an InDesign-file was not possible so…6 votesFix for this issue is now available in the latest release of InDesign 2023 - that is, InDesign 18.1 version.
Please update to this version of InDesign to get the fix.

InDesign 2023 Unable to use Publish Online feature
osx Montery 12.3 (M1 Max)
InDesign 2023 (v 18.0)Updated to 2023 this morning and am now getting the following error message when I try to use publish online "Error #0: This service is not available for your account. Contact your Administrator or Customer Support for further assistance."
Have never received this prior to the update and I seem unable to find any information regarding it (most likely because the update is so fresh). I have already restarted fully, quit and reopened indesign.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Importing PDF Comments: inclusion of Sticky Notes slows InDesign down to a crawl.
When importing PDF Comments, it is mostly a breeze until the editor/author applies a 'Sticky Note'.
Moving through a document where 'Sticky Notes' have been added, the page, and surrounding pages, slows InDesign to a crawl and can take a few minutes to apply one change.
While my workaround is to run through all the 'Sticky Notes' in the PDF file first and apply those changes independently before deleting them, I can then import the PDF Comments in the usual way to speed up the remaining part of the process without being hindered.

unleserliche Dateinamen
Hallo,
seit kurzer Zeit werden einige Dateinamen auf der InDesign Startseite unleserlich dargestellt, als ob mehrere Namen übereinander stünden. Es tritt sporadisch auf. Ich kann den Fehler nicht konsistent reproduzieren.

Display performance preferences impacting images exported with epub
When exporting to epub (reflowable or fixed), any images are converted and rendered as grey boxes (see screenshot) IF the master Display Performance is set to "fast" (i.e. InDesign>Preferences>Display performance). Changing the local display performance setting (View>Display performance) or object-level display performance doesn't not affect it. MacOS 11.6.7, M1 chip. InDesign 18.4

[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:
