Dictionary: Added words using context-menu are only in lowercase, but should be with uppercase letter
ID 17.1
Language: German
Using User-dictionaryIf I'll add a word from text (wich contains an uppercase letter at first position) to the user-dictionary using context-menu (right click on mouse), I get the option to add. After this, the word is added, but only in lowercase, although the checkbox "upper/lowercase active" is enabled.
Workaround: Adding the word with uppercase letter by using the menu-bar: "Bearbeiten -> Rechtschreibprüfung -> Benutzerwörterbuch" inserts the word in uppercase.
Please have a look and change it.2 votes -

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:…

Dynamic spelling doesn't find repeated word with initial capital letter
It became apparent yesterday, unfortunately after a brochure had been printed, that InDesign doesn't flag repeated words when one of them starts with a capital letter and, in this case the company has ended up paying for a reprint. Although several people had proof checked the brochure, nobody had noticed and I only had time to view with dynamic spelling, rather than reading the whole thing. Is this a feature for some reason? Personally I'd rather it be flagged with or without caps and be able to make a judgement myself if time is short.

Right to Left direction select opposite direction
When we want to select a character or word by using cursor key in Arabic text, it select the opposite direction, i.e. Ctrl + Left arrow key, Shift + Left arrow key, Ctrl + Shift + Left arrow key, or Ctrl + Shift + Left arrow key, will select a character or word on the right of cursor, even if already set to "Visual" in preference for cursor movement.

Khmer Script Punctuation Line Breaking Is Broken
Regression Bug (used to work in InDesign CS 5.5)
Adobe InDesign CC 15.03 currently will break lines between Khmer script and its punctuation even though no space is present (Khmer Unicode Punctuation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_script#Spacing_and_punctuation ) as pictured in the attachment.
Desired Result: Khmer punctuation should stay with the Khmer script preceding it (just like an English period, comma, question mark, etc. does). The whole word should line break with the punctuation (currently Khmer uses zero-width spaces [U+200B] to indicate a word-boundary).

"View PDF after exporting" previously opened acrobat, now my computer switches between opening Illustrator, Mircosoft Word, rarely Acrobat
I've set my computer to use Acrobat as default, yet perhaps you could add an Application of choice to use when view exported PDF.
Not sure if it's just a bug, but any fix would be welcome. Thank you!

Performance: Import documents / style apply

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.

Not find unicode Greek when pasted into Find
When I copy a Greek word (that is entered in unicode) from an InDesign document and paste it into the Find field, InDesign cannot find the word in that document. If I type the Greek word into the Find field, then it does find the word. So there is a defect in the pasting mechanism for the Find function.

Non-breaking spaces & non-joiner odd behavior
The attached file has a bunch of samples. In summary, ID2018 on Mac considers a word and following spaces as one word; and a non-joiner is ignored. You'll need New Century Schoolbook LT Std to maintain proper spacing.

spell check in tables
See attached document.
The mis-spelled word "tiime" is addressed correctly in column 1 rows 1 and 2.
The mis-spelled word "paarty" is addressed correctly in column 2, line 1.
The mis-spelled word "partu" is is underlined correctly in column 2, line 2, but right-clicking on the word does not bring up spelling correction options.
"partu" will, however, be treated correctly using Edit -- Spelling -- Check Spelling... .1 voteHi

Arabic Diacritics move to unwanted places if you use an Index Marker in the same line
Adobe InDesign CC 14.0 (Middle Eastern version -- English يدعم العربية)
a. Type this Arabic text: شَيْء غريب
b. Create new Index entry for the second word: غريب
The Diacritics should stay as they were.
Diacritic of the second letter (يْ) goes somewhere else.
