Word Import | BUG | Diacritic characters change language and formatting
Hi together,

Fonts' OpenType features not working in Composite fonts in InDesign
When using any Hebrew font in InDesign, the diacritics (nikuds) are displayed in their correct location. This location is set within the fonts by using OpenType features such as ccmp (for glyph substitution) and mark (for glyph positioning). InDesign recognizes and applies these features.
When this font is used as part of a Composite font in InDesign, the result is quite different. It seems like the ccmp feature is honored but the mark feature is not.
The diacritics shift and the length of the text increases. Some of this fluctuation can be mitigated by Diacritics Position feature in InDesign however…

drop shadow issues
Hello!
I'm trying to do an A3 poster with two layers:
Layer one: A rectangle a white-black gradient fill and some line option and drop shadow applied.
Layer two: Some text frames with white text with black strokes.When I add drop shadow to the text it looks just as intended on screen.
But when I print it out on a big, expensive Samsung X7600 Series printer, I get a kind of gradient color in bottom of text frames. As if I had applied some color to the frame.
(Please see the attached file "indd cc print screen".)I have…

spelling
Hi, I just want you to reach out for me to the Developer team and Interface Design team of InDesign. Please tell them, that the spelling function on InDesign should undergo major improvements. It literally sucks. I've been using InDesign since 2007, and the web application, basically any, like Google, deepL, Grammarl, I think even OpenOffice... are much better. So in this matter, InDesign was never the first choice, more like the last.

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 program2 votes -

19.2 Arabic version, missing periods in exported PDF
In an exported pdf, periods (or other ending characters) at the end of paragraphs are missing, if the paragraphs were aligned right or justified in the original English version.
The time-consuming work-around option is to make the period LTR char direction.1 vote -
Khmer Line-Breaking Regression Bug
While much has been fixed, the current version of InDesign 2022 still line-breaks Khmer words/punctuation incorrectly (this used to work in InDesign 5.5 but has been broken since CS 6).
Here are some sample words/puncuation that break incorrectly (many are names):
យេស៊ូវ
អ៊ីស្រាអែល
គ្រីស្ទ
«...ទោះ
ជាម្ចាស់
អាន់ទីយ៉ូក
ៗ (this should stay with the previous word not break on to its own line)
អាកំណា
គ្រីស្ទបរិស័ទ
បន្សុស
ខគម្ពីរ
បូគោ
... (should stay together and stay with previous word like in English)
បូគោ
ឰយុកោEasiest way to fix this is don't break a line unless there is a zero-width space (U+200B) or…

Arabic Support Was Suddenly Removed
My default install language is English with Arabic support. InDesign was working normally until I changed a preference setting (disabled Hindi Digits) in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. It was the only change I recently made to any Adobe-related app. I had to reinstall the app to fix the issue.

Place dialogue blank
The place dialogue is often a nearly blank/greyed-out box. Sometime ID crashes, sometimes it allows me to a place the file through the dialogue, sometimes the dialogue disappears when I click the pasteboard. It happens seemingly randomly.

spell check is changing the language to Catalan
Hi there! I've worked in Indesign for the last 20 years and recently there is a bug in the spell-check feature. Every time I run that feature, it starts out in English and then abruptly changes to Catalan which finds every single word to be wrong. I've changed it in my preferences and even restarted my computer.

[BUG] [IND] [CC2021] Wrong language installed
With this message, I would like to report a bug.
The Creative Cloud desktop app installs the wrong language for Indesign. Default is set to English, but it installs Dutch.
Removing the older Indesign CC2020 and installing it again, it installs my default language (UK). For CC2021 it only installs Dutch. I'm using Os X 10.14.6.
