2. Grep expressions with ~F in a character class fail in endnotes

   The inclusion of ~F in a character class invalidates grep expressions in endnotes.

   InDesign version: 14.0.2.324 (with the GREP fix installed)

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Open the attached document. It contains a single page with text and an endnote.
   2. In the GREP tab of the Find/What window, enter the following GREP expression:

   \d[^.,;~F]+

   And target the document. The expression matches from a digit up to the next period, comma, semicolon, or footnote marker.

   Expected result: The expression should match some text in the main text and in the endnote.
   Actual Result: The expression does not match anything in the endnote.

   To show that it's ~F that's the problem, use this expression:

   \d[^.,;]+

   It matches in the main text and in the footnote, as expected.

   The inclusion of ~F in a character class invalidates grep expressions in endnotes.

   InDesign version: 14.0.2.324 (with the GREP fix installed)

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Open the attached document. It contains a single page with text and an endnote.
   2. In the GREP tab of the Find/What window, enter the following GREP expression:

   \d[^.,;~F]+

3. Background Tasks stuck on "Cancelling"

   I was exporting multiple PDFs that were not exporting properly. When I figured out they were stuck, I manually cancelled the export in "Background Tasks". Both tasks have been "Cancelling" for two days. I cannot close the files nor can I close InDesign.

5. screen redraw errors: content disappears while editing

   While editing content (most usually, editing type), all the type disappears from the screen, so you can't see what's being edited. Scrolling up or down until the affected area is off screen, then scrolling back down fixes the problem, but it's a huge time suck to have to deal with this and all the other bugs.

7. No Panels at Start

   Many times CC apps start with no panels at all or panels which won't expand when clicked.

   Also happens in Photoshop, Illustrator in my experience and on different machines (Mac Pro at home, different iMacs at the office).

   Has been going on for many iterations of CC apps.

   macOS High Sierra 13.13.3 / CC 2018 InDesign 13.0.1

8. Applying a paragraph style causes text to appear duplicated on screen, but it's not really.

   CC 2018, OS High Sierra, both most current, brand new install on a brand new iMac Pro.

   If I apply a style using a key command, 90% of the time the text from the cursor down goes crazy, looks duplicated. But if I hit the key command again, or click off the paragraph, or scroll, it goes away and is normal. So it's not really duplicating anything as far as I can tell. I screen captured exactly what it looks like.

9. World-Ready Composer Is messing up the kerning in Latin fonts

   I have reported a variation of this—back with CS6—but it seems not to have been fixed. I assume it's a bug, but if someone can enlighten me about what I might be doing wrong and how I can fix this, I'd appreciate it.

   I often work on books that include Arabic and Hebrew words and phrases in the middle of English text. They only way to get the Arabic ligatures to form is to use one of the World Ready composers. When I do that, though, the kerning around some English characters often—but not always—is affected. I have tried turning on and off various settings—justification settings, kashidas, etc.—and their effect seems to be random. Sometimes the changes fix the problem until the page redraws, sometimes the errant kerning is corrected in one location but shows up in another location, sometimes nothing happens at all. I'm attaching two screen captures of a book that I have in production now with the word "economics" selected in each. In the shot with the World-Ready Paragraph Composer active, you can see the extra kerning between the "e" and the "c." In the shot with the WRPC deactivated, the word looks as it should.

   Is this a bug? If not, what am I doing wrong? If it is, when might we expect a fix. Unfortunately, I have a deadline on this project now and can't see any reasonable way to fix this. Thanks for considering this problem.

11. Text rendered bold when using transparencies

    When using transparent boxes or png images, InDesign will randomly render some text bold. This occurs both on screen and when printing. The only way to avoid it is by not using transparencies, which is annoying. People have been complaining about this since 2011! Get your sh*t together adobe. Come on.

12. Alt-Text: incorrect German text

    Within the preferences, Adobe tells German users that the text "KI-generierte Inhalte" will be added to the alt-text, if this feature is activated.

    But instead "Beschreibung von KI generiert" is added in reality (second screenshot). This is the correct meaning, so please change this in the preferences to "Beschreibung von KI generiert" as well.

13. Duplicated layers when placing Illustrator files

    When an Illustrator file is placed in InDesign, the tab with Layer options shows multiple versions of the same layers. The number of layers is multiplied by the number of artboards.

14. History panel erases undo option and history steps (behavior different from previous version) and

    The history panel seems to be limited to 5 actions. Additionally, with the latest update (20.2), if you access the history panel at all, it overtakes the Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z function for undo/redo as it has worked in the past.

    When the history panel is opened, it selects the most recent action. Even if the panel is closed, whatever is done after this point erases all the other actions, so that you are left with "open" as the previous step. Edit>Undo (Ctrl+Z) is disabled, and you can no longer undo work.

    Additionally, steps will sometimes combine themselves without any user action. (i.e. while documenting this, in between image 3-4 no action was taken except to switch between InDesign and the screen capture program). Switching in/out of InDesign erases the ability to undo work.

    If you type 6-7 characters, you can no longer undo anything prior to that. Open the history window, select a step, then place something.... undo is now limited to the place action; all other history steps are erased (as well as Ctrl+Z undo/redo steps).

    This is a huge step in the wrong direction.

    There are seemingly no settings related to history (unlike in Photoshop where a number of steps can be preserved). Iteration/layout experimentation is critical in InDesign and this update removes the ability to do that without incessantly creating a snapshot every time you do something or type more than a few characters.

    The history panel seems to be limited to 5 actions. Additionally, with the latest update (20.2), if you access the history panel at all, it overtakes the Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z function for undo/redo as it has worked in the past.

16. 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.

17. Icon Panels do not expand correctly when Application Frame is OFF.

    Recurring issue from one InDesign upgrade to the next! Found 2- and 6-year old reports of the same bug. In-between updates fix it but reoccurs with every new upgrade...

    ISSUE
    When Application Frame is disabled, panels that are on the right side of the screen don't expand towards the left as they normally would but to the right.
    The bigger the UI scaling size, the more to the right of the screen the panel expansion moves, soon disappearing altogether. Only smallest sizing allows to display properly.
    Attaching screenshot for reference.
    No problem when Application Frame is enabled.

    TECHNICAL INFO:
    macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (happened in prior OS versions too) – Retina 5K, 27-inch-2019
    Adobe 2024 (19.2)

    TEMPORARY WORKAROUND
    Change preference of UI scaling to smallest.

18. Application Window 'resizes to bottom-half of screen' after waking Mac from sleep.

    There is an issue with Adobe apps while using Mac M1 with an external monitor. When put in sleep, the windows and palettes move to the bottom half of the screen.

    There are comments on this thread that confirm

    this is an issue with specifically Adobe apps(illustrator, photoshop and indesign at least):

20. Text frame options: Individual inset spacing when rounded corners are enabled

    Currently the text frame options do not allow different inset spacing on each side if a rounded corner is applied to the text frame.

    We are trying to create a template that has a text box with a gradient background and a rounded corner that bleeds off the page. We need to set the inset to push the inset spacing on one side further than the rest to fit within the page margins, but with the rounded corner this is not possible.
