1. Variable font changes to Italic when a custom axis value is set, without user input. Also, the Italic axis cannot be controlled.

   This may be related to a somewhat similar Illustrator bug:
   https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/46249144-variable-font-changes

   Summary:
   1. Variable fonts that have separate but related roman/italic font files are handled badly by InDesign (and Illustrator). In InDesign, if you set a custom axis value such as Weight or Optical Size, the font changes to Italic immediately. This issue occurs in fonts such as Roboto Serif and Apple SF Pro, which are well-tested, popular, and important by many measures. It also occurs in fonts that have internal data that is known to be good, at least as far as FontBakery testing shows. It doesn’t occur in single-font-file variable fonts such as Acumin or Inter, which have built-in "slnt" axes.
   2. As a secondary but related issue, there should actually be an Italic slider or toggle for a variable font, if that axis is specified in the font’s STAT table.

   Version of InDesign: 18.2.1 (latest as of May 25, 2023). Also tested in latest prerelease, v18.4.

   Steps:
   1. Set some type with a font like Roboto Serif [variable].
   2. Open the variable font axes panel, and change an axis like Weight. The font will change to its Italic version, without user input. There is no clear way to change it back to Upright, without selecting a named instance like "SemiBold" – but that largely defeats the purpose of the font being variable.

   Expected result:
   A variable font should be able to have a custom weight value, without snapping to Italic. Likewise, there should actually be an Italic slider or toggle, if that axis is specified in the font’s STAT table.

   Actual result:
   It is impossible to set an upright variable font with a custom weight.

2. Change of indesign behaviour regarding form elements - problems of non printing elements

   Indesign Version 15.12x64 Windows

   I opened an old document (paper registration/order form) and suddenly became aware that something has happened.

   A lot of input fields was visible - in the old version i did never see tham in this view.

   But this was not the problem.

   The problem was, that if I converted the cocument to PDF with the STANDARD PRINT preset , all boxes were gone.

   After some investigation i found out, that those have been converted to intaractive elements also without my knowledge.

   Only after i changed the option "INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS" the very last option on the PDF export dialog box, to "consider appeareance /(original: Erscheinungsbild berücksichtigen in my german version)" these boxes also appeared in the PDF document.

   Also i found no way to hide the interactive elements - the only way was the standard hide frame borders option or the preview option

3. Endnotes and multi-language layers

   InDesign CC 13.1

   As a long-time user of ID, I want to report what looks to me like a serious bug.

   Working on a multi-language book project for the first time since the endnotes feature was introduced, I noticed that when importing the second language on a separate layer (as I have been doing for many years without any problems) the endnotes are imported with correct references in the text but the notes themselves lose their numbers, showing the dreaded <?> instead.
   Trying to work around the problem using David Blatner's DTP tools' "import layers" feature gives the same result.
   It is my experience that the Introduction of the second language with its notes also jumbles up the arrangement of the notes of the first language (which were alright to begin with).

   Since we are making books in simultaneously published language editions all the time, the possibility to combine the use of both endnotes and layers is crucial. Now, in the middle of the project I had to revert to the old ways with separate files for separate languages, which is a pain as you can imagine.

   I would even settle for forgoing the assets of the endnotes function and working with "dead" endnotes—as I have been doing for so many years—in order to regain the benefit of using layers, but, unfortunately, this version of ID does not allow me to import the notes as normal text.

   Thanks for your help.

4. password protection makes it impossible to watch PDF on iOS

   There is a bug in exporting a protected PDF to iOS Adobe Acrobat Reader. If I put a password protection for printing, text editing and content coping in the PDF, the Acrobat Reader on iOS can't show the file. The app crashes or every (!) page needs between 4 and 7 minutes to show up. Within this 4-7 minutes the page is simply grey or white. If I export the same InDesign document without password protection, the iOS Adobe Reader shows it perfectly and normal. As a workaround I exported it without password protection, opened on the Mac in Acrobat Pro, added here the password for editing, printing and coping - same result, it doesn't work. All systems (macOS, iOS, iPadOS as well as the Adobe Reader) are running on most actual versions. Please fix this asap, I need to deliver this file. It may can be also a bug in the iOS Adobe Reader, because Acrobat Pro on the Mac as well as the macOS preview shows it perfectly.

5. Master Items misssing when used based on page

   Using Windows 7 or Mac OS no matter even it's in preview Indesign CC.

   I found this and very annoying to fix it manually in master page items.

   Steps Created Master Page A for body text pages
   Created master Page B: As a chapter opener. It's based on Master A. Only removed top running header.

   Now applied in pages:
   Left side page : Master Page A.
   Right side page chapter opener and applied Master Page B

   Result: Part of Running Header is disappear in Left Side Page, right side page ok as is.

   Am I missing something. Getting this kind of result from previous version of Indesign CC

   PS: When I removed based on features. Everything is ok. Even If item is within page, then also it's ok. If the items is touching the page edge or bleeding then it disappears.

   After further investigating, came to this conclusion: it only happens if used based on features in master pages and after removing editing header part. Effects on the item that bleeds. in this case Master page A.

   Refer the attachment for details.

6. Color Profile Warnings when copying Objects and Text within the same Document

   Mismatching color profile warnings are very helpful when copying objects between documents with different profiles, which is why this is an always-on option for me.

   However, for some time now, such warnings seem to pop up randomly when I copy text between documents with the same profile settings, and sometimes even when copying text from one text box to another within the same document.

   My understanding is that this is a bug, as live text in an INDD cannot have different profiles. Is there a way to avoid these warnings and still get them when they are necessary (copying between separate documents)?

7. Indesign crashes after copying text

   Indesign crashes immediately after copying text. It seems that this only happens with formatted text. If I separate the text box from the paragraph format, I can copy the text. But that is very time consuming and annoying. When I open Indesign again, it crashes immediately. And when I finally managed to open the file again and click on "Paragraph format" in the sidebar, Indesign freezes. The bug has occurred since the last 2-3 versions of Indesign and I hope that the bug will be fixed with every new one. Unfortunately, this did not happen.

   Indesign 15.0.2
   MacOS: 10.15.3

   To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received an email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

   We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding: Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

   We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2021(v16.0.0.77) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.

   We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

8. em dash

   InDesign treats two words separated by an em dash as a single word when applying styles. For example, if you create a paragraph style which includes a nested style to set the first three words of the paragraph in small caps, InDesign will set the first four words in small caps if the first three words include an em dash.

   An em dash should be treated as punctuation, not a connector. Words separated by an em dash are are separate words and should be treated as such.

9. Share for Review - Public Recipients Still Can't Access Without Adobe Account

   I'm using InDesign version 17.0.1. Using Share for Review, I was able to chose Public and send invitations. The recipients received the e-mail from Adobe, but if the recipient is on a computer without an Adobe account, when they click the button to access the file, it doesn't open - it will just spin for several minutes then display a File Preview Error . The instructions I have for Share for Review said that choosing Public would allow users without an Adobe account to access the file, but this does not seem to be the case. I first tested this by sending to my boss who is on the same network, but doesn't have an Adobe account - she received the error. I sent to my personal e-mail accessed through my home computer, which doesn't have an Adobe account - I received the error. I then accessed my personal e-mail through my work computer, which does have an Adobe account - it worked just fine. I don't understand why Public is working the same as Invite Only. I would really like to use Share for Review, but almost everyone who reviews my work doesn't have an Adobe account. Please help!

10. Share for Review breaks when INDD files are duplicated for versioning

    Everyone I know who uses InDesign duplicates files regularly to create various versions of documents. Share for Review seems to have a major problem with this. When I create multiple versions of a document by duplicating an original, InDesign cannot seem to differentiate between the various versions, even if they have different names and are completely separate files. The only solution seems to be if you have only one document open at a time and break the link to start over. It's maddening, as I have 9 versions of important documents that I need to share for review, and when I try to share, it thinks they are all the same file. This makes no sense.

12. InDesign version 16.1. Hyperlinks interactivity function not working properly.

    When creating hyperlinks within a document, certain links, although functioning within the hyperlink panel, do not translate as links when published online or as an ePub. This is completely random, as other links set up in exactly the same way (often on the same page) work fine. Have tried everything I can think of to fix the issue myself but can't figure out why it is happening.

    Steps to recreate the issue:
    1. Set up document
    2. Set up multiple hyperlinks (mine are objects rather than text)
    3. Preview in interactivity panel and/or publish online

    Expected Result: Links should be in the document. Links should appear as clickable when hovered over.

    Actual Result: Some links do not appear (randomly). This happens no matter what you do to try and change it. Even if you try adding various other links to the selected object, or adding the same link that works in other objects...some objects refuse to translate as hyperlinks in the published version.

    I'm pretty sure this is a new issue, although I have tried reinstalling old versions of the software and the problem reoccurs. So have updated to the newest version again. Please help! Thank you

13. InDesign: Insert authors document's metadata without quotes

    Version
    Adobe InDesign up to 2023.

    Steps to reproduce the issues
    Setting the active document’s metadataPreferences.author with multiple authors, separated by comma or semicolon in a string via extendscript:
    
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.author = "Elric Wade; Anne Emu; Sophie Kumpir";


    Expected result
    The authors should be placed into the "Author" metadata field, separated by comma or semicolon.

    Actual result
    The authors are placed into the "Author" metadata field, but all set within double quotes, so they appear to be one author, not multiple authors.

    Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)
    See attached screenshot.

    Please make it possible to add multiple authors (e.g. with not quoting comma or semicolon separated strings, or by letting pass-in an array with names).

14. Lao Line Breaking Support

    I'm working on a major project using the Lao language and InDesign. The Lao text is not flowing correctly in InDesign. There are addons that provide these features (LaoScript), but there isn't native InDesign support, from what I can tell.

    Lao text does not seem to properly word wrap. Many professionals use zero-width-spaces in Lao to create invisible 'spaces' between words so that applications properly word wrap. However, this has significant drawbacks and makes it harder for Lao people to use and edit their language because editing text with invisible characters is difficult (especially on mobile, but PCs as well).

    As one of the members of the team who helped bring Lao support to ICU (International Components for Unicode), I know that there is support for Lao that doesn't require much work, assuming you all are already using ICU to process text in InDesign. Adobe is listed on ICU's project page as a major user of this library.

    So... I would like to request this feature be turned on to properly support Lao text wrapping and word tokenization with non-zero-width-space delimited phrases in Lao.

    Here's an excerpt from the Lao Bible:

    ເມື່ອພຣະເຈົ້າຊົງເລີ້ມຕົ້ນ (5 words, no spaces, no ZWSPs)

    ເມື່ອ ພຣະເຈົ້າ ຊົງ ເລີ້ມ ຕົ້ນ (same 5 words separated by spaces)

    I know that there are organizations who swear by ZWSPs (and for good reasons), and do not prefer automatic Lao word tokenization. It might be nice to also provide a mechanism to manually disable this feature for text/frames/documents, assuming the user wants greater control of line breaking in Lao (Thai or Khmer too). But, otherwise, out-of-the-box, have the feature on so that it lowers the barrier of entry for Lao people wishing to use InDesign.

    Chrome and LibreOffice are two applications that already support Lao word tokenization out of the box, and more text is available at https://laobible.sea-sda.org if you need some tools/text to test against.

    Thanks!

    Lao text does not seem to properly word wrap. Many professionals use zero-width-spaces in Lao to create invisible 'spaces' between words so that applications properly word wrap. However, this has significant drawbacks and makes it harder for Lao people to use and edit their language because editing text with invisible characters is difficult (especially on mobile, but PCs as well).

15. Linked in file not showing missing font error

    I have designed several booklets for a customer each targeting a specific audience. Some of these pages are the same like this back cover file which I have made using inDesign and is placed as the last page of all the booklets. When I make a print layout setting up the pages [12/1] [2/11] ... to print as a booklet I place all the pages from the indesign file for each book. This means that my print file references a design file which references a variety of pages and fliers of pdf, ai and indd types. I recently had some upgrades at work which turned off all the fonts managed on a server. Looking at the preview of my print layout file it was obvious that I was needing to activate a font, but inDesign says nothing was missing. I had to open the back cover page file itself before inDesign recognized there was a font problem. This is a very dangerous omission considering if I get in files from a client to print I might not need or want to open their single page originals, but just place them in the order needed to be printed as booklets.

16. Endnotes content shuffled by ICML import

    InDesign/InCopy versions 14, 15, & 16

    The position of user-entered "extra" content in an endnote story is currently lost when endnotes are replaced during an update of the associated story.

    Adobe's help documentation says (from the "Work with endnote text" section of https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/endnotes.html )

    "Endnotes in the endnote frame are indicated with Endnote Markers. Text, such as heading, can be typed in the endnote frame outside these markers. This extra content does not belong to any endnote."

    This suggests that user content in an endnotes story is allowed and supported.

    However, extra content moves around during an update. An attached screenshot (1_shuffled.png) shows a "before" (left side) with user-entered chapter headers in the endnotes separating each story's endnotes and an "after" (right side) which shows the same endnotes after editing Story 2 in InCopy and then updating its link. The update's ICML import has moved all of Story 2's endnotes ahead of the "Chapter 2" header.

    Another screenshot (2_between.png) shows how user content that was between endnote entries is repositioned in front of the endnote entries after an update. It looks as though the ICML import removed all of story A's old endnotes and then added in the new endnotes en masse, and lost the old positions in the process.

    A third screenshot (3_between2.png) shows that the same reshuffling happens to user content that's in its own paragraphs and completely between endnotes.

    And lastly, an attached screenshot (4_mangled.png) shows how updating a story (Story B) that was edited with InCopy can completely mangle the existing endnotes structure. The ICML import has moved Story B's endnotes to be right after Story A's, has put the Story B header after the new endnote entries, and has orphaned user content that was previously between the endnotes.

    An ICML import should retain the position of each endnote entry rather than removing all the old entries and then adding all of the imported entries at an arbitrary position.

17. Properties window not staying in custom workspace

    Every time I open Indesign (14.0.1) my custom workspace loads, however, since adding the new 'properties' window to this workspace, the properties panel does not load with the custom, saved workspace. Instead I have to open it separately each time from the Window menu.

18. Stroke Style not working

    When creating a line, the drop down menu on the side bar or in separate window does not work. The style options will not open, no ability to change the line style. I have restarted InDesign, and tried new files, it doesn't work.

19. Variable chapter number

    The variable 'chapter number' gives a problem, wherever it is used it is represented as '1'.
    Because chapter numbers and paragraph numbers are not included in the Continuous header, it is useful if it can be displayed separately.
    Is it possible to include this numbering in the variable in the future (as an option)?

20. Lack of full-screen mode support for MacOS

    Why don't you play nice with MacOS? They have had a full-screen mode for years, and you apparently couldn't care less about your Mac users' need for efficiency. Maximizing Adobe apps on separate desktops isn't at all the same as full-screen mode, so please don't pretend it is. Get off your ****, take the $52/month I and many others give you, and GET IT DONE!
