1. Two Monitors - UI Window Always Loads Off Screen - Can't Resize Mac OS 14.5

   This has been a bug for at least 5 years with InDesign (see link at the bottom of the post).

   When a Mac user has two monitors, if the primary monitor is situated "lower" than the secondary monitor in a side-by-side configuration in the Display "Arrange" setting (see screenshot, main display is laptop, on right), then the windows will always load slightly off screen, locking the user out of moving them or rearranging them.

   There is a temporary fix to put the main monitor "higher" than the secondary monitor in the horizontal arrangement.

   However, this is an unacceptable long term fix. The Display Arrangement tool is so that you can position your monitors virtually how they are set up physically to make moving things between them intuitive and easy.

   Moving them out of alignment to accommodate one weird Adobe product issue is silly.

   Mac users with multiple side-by-side monitors is NOT a small part of the InDesign userbase. This is not a niche issue. Many many users have this basic setup. This bug has existed for way too long, since at least 2019.

   Please fix this.

2. BUG: Small Caps not applied correctly to Variable Text with World-ready Composer

   Using Adobe Indesign 19.3 on MacOS 14.4, Apple M1.

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. Make new document.
   2. Define a text variable "Test" with custom text "Handgloves".
   3. Insert variable in text frame.
   4. Set the composer for that paragraph to "World-ready..."
   5. Set the paragraph in Small Caps
   6. Try different fonts.

   Expected result: small caps.

   Actual Result: only first two characters are changed to small caps. Typing characters after the variable placeholder changes how many characters are changed to small caps. See attached video.

   Workaround is to change the paragraph to a non World-ready composer.

   Note: may be related to this bug.

3. "Visual Cursor Movement" not working in Arabic in ID 19/19.01

   On previous versions of ID with Arabic support, I could press left arrow to move cursor left, right arrow to move right. In versions 19 and 19.01, the cursor goes to the beginning or next line of Arabic text. So I have to select 'Logical Cursor Movement' under settings but now cursor move the opposite way: left arrow moves cursor right.

4. update to v24

   For as long as I can remember, dating back to the early single-digit versions of Adobe products, it was advised to make separate backups of user settings that were often found in obscure directories on a user's own computer. I dared to trust Adobe this time around, hoping that the update to version 24 of InDesign and its option to delete old versions, would respect the user settings that I so painfully put together. FAIL. Adobe failed to maintain them and deleted them from existence. Adobe should be putting a disclaimer on their update process to prompt users of all levels to backup their user settings and provide a link to where these obscure files are normally found. The "gotcha" or "pie-in-the-face" is not appreciated.

5. Hanging drop cap has wrong indents in 2023 v18

   In v18 (2023), when a paragraph has both a drop cap and a hanging indent (negative first line indent), the indent gets messed up on subsequent lines.

   This came from a bug report by Lut Van Nooten on the InDesign Secrets LinkedIn group:
   https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7006264075831648258/

   The solution is to disable the new Composition Preference: "Honor Text Indents in addition to Text Wrap"

   However, in this case, this is clearly a bug because there is no text wrap!

6. Type on a Path Tool interrupter flow text

   When there is a story (on parent page) with some 'text on a path' above:

   You can't use 'Flow text automatically' to exist pages (by alt\opt+shift) - because it moves the text in the next stories TO THE PATH!

   Note: 'Smart text reflow' *to new pages works well

7. Share for Review - Critical Scrolling Bug with Large Documents

   Indesign Version 17.0

   When scrolling in large documents (200-500 pages) the browser-window of Share for Review the screen hops between 3-5 different screens multiple times a second. This bug makes the feature basically unusable. Sometimes it snaps back (maybe after rendering correctly?), sometimes it just doen't.

   The bigger the document, the faster the error seems to occur. Working on my 200 page-document with my team is essentially impossible right now.

   There is a post about this over here with a video: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/share-for-review-scrolling-bug-with-large-document/m-p/12516079#M452898

   Our team has this problem on Mac, Windows - and on Safari, Chrome and Firefox (didn't check other browsers yet). We tested this on 7 different devices, all crashed equally.

8. Text box disappears, styling not displayed in real time

   I am using the latest Indesign update for M1, 16.3.2 (Big Sur 11.4)
   I am now having problems where the text box that I am styling disappears. I either have to zoom in or out, flip pages, or now go as far as closing the file and opening it, because Indesign is either not displaying the changes made, or the text disappears. Placing a cursor within text is also not accurate, and either a character to the left or right.
   These are new issues, please advise.

9. Adobe InDesign opening files as read-only

   I am using InDesign v 16.2.1 on a MacBook Pro (Intel) running Big Sur (11.3.1) and connected to a file server on the network via the SMB protocol. Also I have Sophos Endpoint Protection installed. When attempting to open a file on the file server, InDesign opens it in read-only mode. If I attempt to do the same with Sophos turned off, the file opens read-write. It appears that other InDesign/Sophos/Mac customers have experienced the same issue:

   I am formally requesting a resolution to this issue, as it seems this is a common problem for people working on network-attached storage.

10. Type 1 Fonts

    Preflight has the ability to flag Type 1 fonts. This is a great way to see if you are using fonts in a document that will not be supported in the future. The problem is there are OpenType Type 1 fonts and PostScript Type 1 fonts. In Preflight, when you click on Type 1 fonts not allowed, it also flags OpenType Type 1 fonts.

    Would be very important to identify exactly what fonts will not be supported in the future.

11. Double hyphen in words that already contain hyphen (minus)

    Since a few weeks (we think since the InDesign 16.1 x64 update), we see a major problem in a lot of our books:
    Words that already contain a hyphen (minus sign: -), and that are hyphenated automatically by InDesign, get a double hyphen!
    Normally, when hyphenated words are at the end of the line, the 'hard typed' hyphen gets replaced by the automatic hyphen (with the blue ~ added above it), but now the automated hyphen is added, so we get two consecutive hyphens (--). Sometimes on the same line, sometimes one on the next (see example screenshot).

    This is a serious and big problem, experienced by everyone in our team (10 people), on multiple different projects (using templates we use for years already).

    It causes a major liability issue towards our customers, when the books are printed this way! Please fix this.

    We are all on Windows 10 Pro and have the latest version installed (InDesign 16.1 x64)

12. Cannot print with trapping turned on

    After installing the newest updated version of InDesign today whenever I attempt to print a two color job as separations with the trapping turned on I get a message stating "the engine failed to output due to an unknown error." It's kind of important to have the trapping on with tight registration print jobs.

13. Translation bug : Spread -> Grossi instead of Planche (in french)

    1. Click on publish online button Single Page is well translated as "Un(e) seul(e)" (page) Spread is wrongly translated as "Grossi" Grossi means bigger (or what we had with trapping : spreading inks, so making ink marks bigger) Planche which has been the accepted term in inDesign for ages.

    Thanks for reporting this issue. We will review it

14. BUG (since CS6!): Nonbreaking Space (^S) Issue with World-Ready-Composer

    Issue:
    When using the ›World-Ready Composer‹, the character ›Nonbreaking Space‹ (^S) behaves exactly like the character ›Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width)‹ (^s); i.e.: in justified paragraphs, its width does not adjust (like regular spaces do), but it is fixed and unchanging.
    This only occurs with the ›Adobe World-Ready Composer‹ (both ›Paragraph‹ and ›Single-line‹) and not with the regular ›Adobe Composer‹ (neither ›Paragraph‹ nor ›Single-line‹).
    It is not related to the font used, it has been tested with many different fonts.

    1. Versions with this bug, tested and confirmed by myself or colleagues:
       InDesign (Standard Version) CS6, CC2015.0
       InDesign (Middle Eastern Version) CC2020 (15.1.2), CC2021 (16.0)
       I suppose it occurs in all versions since CS6 (when the ›World-Ready Composer‹ was first introduced, afaik)!

    2. Steps to reproduce this issue
       Enter a few lines of text and insert the character ›Nonbreaking Space‹ somewhere. Choose any of the ›Justify‹ paragraph styles and select the ›World-Ready Composer‹. Switch to the regular ›Adobe Composer‹ with the same setup and compare the result.

    3. Expected Result:
       The ›Nonbreaking Space‹ should adjust its width just like any other of the regular spaces.

    4. Actual Result:
       The ›Nonbreaking Space‹ does not adjust its width.

    5. Example as Screenshot attached.
       (Menu is in German: ›Globaler Adobe-Absatzsetzer‹ = ›Adobe World-Ready Composer‹; ›Adobe-Absatzsetzer‹ = ›Adobe Composer‹)

    As far as I know, this issue has been reported only once before (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/39403822-non-breaking-space-is-smaller-than-regular-space-w). But in this report, it is stated incorrectly that the Nonbreaking Space would be smaller than a regular space. It can, in fact, be larger as well (e.g. in a tight line with regular spaces smaller than their 100% optimum). The real nature of the issue is that it does not vary its size.

    PLEASE FIX ASAP!
    Thanks

    This issue was fixed in InDesign v15.1.2 and later.

    Please update to the latest available versions and see if the issue(s) you were facing earlier has got resolved.

    Remember to check how you are signed into your CC account and if need be, sign out and sign in again. Since Share for Review is a service and dependent on your login to your Adobe ID account, it is important that CCD app is working well with your credentials.

17. Suddenly my document reverts to an earlier version

    Ever since I updated Adobe InDesign to version 15.0.1, my current document suddenly reverts to a state from several minutes prior. All of my recent changes are gone, up to ten minutes, and they are not even available under Edit > Redo.

    I've started saving more often now. Recently, this problem happened again. It suddenly went back to an earlier state than I had last saved, so I closed without saving, reopened, and the file was exactly in the state I expected, which was a LATER state than my document had reverted itself to (thank goodness), but not where I was before the problem happened.

    I find myself having to figure out, over and over again, what changes I've made to my document for the last ten minutes so that I can do the same thing over again. I have to save between each step!! This is not good!

    Ever since I updated Adobe InDesign to version 15.0.1, my current document suddenly reverts to a state from several minutes prior. All of my recent changes are gone, up to ten minutes, and they are not even available under Edit > Redo.

    I've started saving more often now. Recently, this problem happened again.

18. Data Merge not populating correctly when placeholder curse overflow

    When using Data-Merge with an .txt/.csv and using export as pdf, indesign (still) merge the fields wrong (only use the first data-entry), if the placeholder and not the data curse an frame-overflow.

    Detailed description:
    You have a textframe with enough space to place the string "888", but not enough space to place "8888".
    You have a .csv table with a colum named "number" and values from "1" to "999".
    You select the file with data-merge and get a placeholder "<<number>>" and replace the "888" with it. Now you got a frame overflow.
    You select preview, and all values (1 - 999) shows up fine without any overflow.
    You try to export as pdf.

    You aspect: a pdf-file containing 999 pages with numbers from 1 to 999.
    You get: a pdf-file containing 999 pages all with the value 1. :-(

    Work arounds:
    1.) making the text-frame bigger, until the placeholder fits.
    2.) let data-merge generate a merged indd-file.

    Both work-arounds are no solutions! I often work with layouts where u can't choose option 1, small tickets for example. Solution 2 is a real nightmare if u work with graphics and many data-entrys.

19. InDesign hyperlink %0D bug

    When I cut and paste URLs from a text document into the hyperlink dialog box, I can accidentally get a carriage return included. InDesign "includes" the carriage return in the one-line dialog box field but gives no indication that it's there.

    Once I export the InDesign document to a PDF and then click on the link in the PDF, the link shows with a %0D at the end and it fails with a 404 not found.

    This is extremely annoying because InDesign gives no indication that the carriage return is there with its one-line link dialog box field.

    What should happen is InDesign should truncate control characters at the end of a URL. It should also truncate spaces at the end of a URL because we've seen %20 show up occasionally as well and that also can't easily be seen and causes the URL to fail. Have your programmers truncate any character at the end of a URL that is ASCII 20 or less and you will be golden!
