Unequal inset values in an Object Style don't display in a text frame if corners are rounded

Go to 'Text Frame General Options' for that style> 3. Set unequal values for 'Inset Spacing'> 4. Go to 'Stroke & Corner Cptions'> 5. In 'Corner Options' set 'Rounded'> 6. Create a Text Frame> 7. Fill Text Frame with placeholder text> 8. Apply Object Style to Text Frame> >Result: unequal inset spacing is ignored.> >If you apply unequal inset spacing manually there are no problems — unless you apply a corner rounding greater than 6mm, at which point unequal spacing is ignored.> >I've attached an InDesign file which demonstrates all of this.> >As an addendum to this: object styles seem quite buggy generally. For example, if you set an initial paragraph style and select 'apply next' then later edit the paragraph style, the text frame doesn't always display the changes.> >

Resolved For User · AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

It is not possible to have unequal inset spacing and corners other than none as they can’t go together.
It is designed this way.

To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received 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.

Graphic Frame Text Wrap in Find/Change Object
> >I'm running InDesign 12.0.0.1 (2017) on mac OS 10.12.6 (Sierra). I was originally trying to write a script to automate changing text wrapping on all graphic frames in the active document to wrap to the largest area (TextWrapSideOptions.LARGEST_AREA). When I couldn't get a script that should have worked to function properly, I decided to try automating Find/Change Object queries. That's when I discovered that the manual queries weren't function. Allow me to elaborate:> >Here's what I want to do:> Change the "Wrap Options > Wrap To" setting (TextWrapSideOption) for all graphic frames to "Largest Area" (TextWrapSideOptions.LARGEST>AREA). This should really only have to apply to those graphic frames set to "Wrap around bounding box" (TextWrapModes.BOUNDING>BOX>TEXT>WRAP) and "Wrap to contour" (TextWrapModes.CONTOUR).> >Here's the problem:> It only works if the graphic frame is set to "Wrap to contour." If the graphic frame is set to "Wrap to bounding box," then it either reports "Cannot find match," or it purports to have found the objects and have changed them, but does not actually change their text wrap modes. I've tried specifying the "Wrap to..." setting in the Find/Change query and many other setting (which are all unnecessary, if the graphic frame is set to "Wrap to contour"), and nothing works. > >I've scoured the internet, and even my not-inconsiderable Google fu has turned up nothing on this problem. I have, however, reproduced it on several machines in my office. For your reference, I've included a set of screenshots from various simple queries and their results. With the help of an expert, here's the script I developed that should have done the trick:> >var doc = app.documents[0];>> var allGraphics = doc.allGraphics;>> var allGraphicsLength = allGraphics.length; > >for ( n=0; n<allGraphicsLength; n++)>> {>> allGraphics[n].textWrapPreferences.properties =>> {>> textWrapSide : TextWrapSideOptions.LARGEST_AREA ,> applyToMasterPageOnly : false>> };>> };> >

Emptiing a text frame when making corrections

InDesign overset text copies entire document

> >InDesign is creating a problem wherein I finish an entire document and it still says there is overset text. When I create a new frame to put it into to see what it is, I find that InDesign has duplicated the text of the entire document. When I try to delete the extra, it just copies the text over and over and puts it right back, including if I try to delete the frame that the extra text is inside of. How do I make this stop?> >

Resolved For User · AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

Share for Review is to quickly share a design that is still a work-in-progress with the Reviewer(s) for quick feedback. Since the review opens in a browser for the reviewer, it has to load quickly even on slow networks, that’s why the image quality has been kept low deliberately so that the page loads quickly without long wait times. Using high-res views will slow down the loading of pages in the browser considerably, marring the experience.

Hope this helps.

ID 2020 - Indent in combination with wrap text around an image not working

The text was wrapped nicely next to the image, the way you should expect.> >My guess what happens here, is that the indent specs are applied not the the edge of the frame, but to the edge of the text.

This issue is addressed with a new option "Honor Text Indents in addition to Text Wrap" in Preferences > Composition dialog. This option is ON for new docs created in ID2023 and needs to be turned ON for docs created in older versions of InDesign when opened in ID2023.

Hello All,

Thank you for patience while we were investigating into the root cause of the issue.
During our investigation we identified that the issue manifests due to Symentec DLP antivirus software.

Please find below steps to whitelist the application:
1. From the Enforce console select System > Agents >Application Monitoring.
2. Select the application to white list. If it is not listed, click on “add application” and provide at least one of the required application binaries.(Refer to Symentec DLP_Console.png for reference)
Note: DLP attempts to validate every field populated. We recommend using as few as fields as needed. If the whitelist seems to fail, try changing which required field is populated or removing one of the other fields.
3. Uncheck all of the detection channels under the “Application Monitoring Configuration.”
4. Click on save and verify the application in the list of monitoring activities is unchecked.
5. After making these changes, test the whitelisted application to see if the issue is resolved.

Regards,
InDesign Team

We confirmed that the 60Hz version MODEL A2119 EMC 3279 works fine. The offending Apple dongle is MODEL A1621 EMC 2877 which is the obsolete model.

Please upgrade the Apple dongle to overcome the issue.

Thank you all for reporting the issue to us.
We have concluded our investigation into the issue. As per our findings, the bug belongs to Acrobat and there is little that can be done at InDesign’s end.

We have already notified the concerned team, internally and they would be working on the same.

For now we are closing this thread for InDesign.

This issue is no longer reproducible. If you are still facing this issue, you may try to quit the application, trash InDesign Cache and Preferences and check again.

Hyphenation settings see note references as a character
> >Hypenation settings consider a note reference as a character, so if you have a footnote callout at the end of a word and hyphenation settings are set to "before last 3" it will make 2-letter hyphenation.> >

Copy and Paste from Share for Review Comments panel not working

> >You used to be able to copy/paste directly from the REVIEW panel COMMENT when you receive feedback. Now it won't allow you to copy what someone has reviewed and suggested as replacement text. This is very important as it makes it much more efficient to copy it from within InDesign rather than swapping between screens to do it from the browser. Please can you fix this! Thank you!> >

Hyperlink alt text is ignored in the latest version of Indesign
> >When creating or editing a hyperlink there is an option to add alt text. If you add alt text to your link and export an accessible PDF the alt text is ignored. I have a document with a ton of hyperlinks that all need alt text which we have added but don't come through because of this bug. Now I'm forced to add them again to the PDF.> >

According to the ISO-32000, the Hyperlinks are NOT supposed to be populated into the Alt-Text field. They should be entered into the Contents Key (see attachment) instead.
InDesign currently does place them in the correct place [see screenshot attached].
While someone using Acrobat can also add them to the Alt-text field, this is technically less correct than entering into the Contents key but either will pass an Accessibility checker.

InDesign implemented this correctly based on the above information (provided by Accessibility experts, like Dax Castro, thanks Dax).

Closing this issue.

We completed the investigation and came up with the following: Either the issue has been resolved in the most recent release of InDesign (Refer to InDesign Release notes), the issue was intermittent at the time of reporting and is no longer reproducible, or the InDesign version mentioned in the report is no longer covered by Creative Cloud Support Policy.
We would recommend you upgrade to the latest version as it is more robust. Refer to Share InDesign documents for review to easily share your InDesign documents with collaborators for feedback and review. If you are still facing this issue even after updating it Contact Adobe support.
