Comment Feature is not working properly
Working with InDesign comments is extremely unsatisfying. The interactions are super slow (this might be because of my file, but still. comments should be displayed quickly as they are not big in file size). The pins are fixed, while text that is about to be changed will change position.
Also, not all comments are displayed or load really late. It's really confusing to figure out where they are and it's not possible to click a pin on the pages to view them.
The feature is really important. InDesign is a proper software with an outdated UI.

Thai Launguage and Optical margins
With Thai language and world-ready paragraph composer on InDesign 19.3, by default optical margins are enabled. but this does not produce desirable adjustments. It does hang the left margin outside just a little but it does not recalculate the line for Left Justification. So the right side become shorter by the same amount as it moved the line to the left.

Never break a word with Thai hyphenation dictionary
In English it is possible to add a hyphenation word to the user dictionary and if you want the word never to be hyphenated, type a tilde before its first letter. This will force the word to never break.
However with Thai you can add the word with the tilde but InDesign will not respect that word. The word will still be broken.

Table Stroke adjusment panel
On the Table Stroke adjustment panel, the thin blue lines are difficult to see for someone with color deficient vision or reduced visual acuity. I suggest increasing the width of the highlighted stroke to indicate which are selected.

Errors in file creation means that some devices cannot open epub file. ID Version 19.3
E-Pub checker defines issues consistently
"data-idGenAnimationEndState" is not a valid custom data attribute (it must have at least one character
after the hyphen, be XML-compatible, and not contain ASCIl uppercase letters). The errors are always in reference to lines 17 and 20 in the code. When I attempted to load the file I received notice: The (ID created files) are 'not supported' and cannot be uploaded to this site. The publications with these errors contain gifs. They play ok on my mac and android devices though not on some similar devices.1 votePlease send the following information to santalwa@adobe.com :

Inaccurate Type 1 Warning
This issue is purported to be fixed, but I'm still getting a false type one warning after upgrading to the last version of InDD 18. (18.5.2). The flagged font is Whitney Black, the only font out of the the entire OT Whitney family that's installed on my MacBook pro that gets flagged. Whitney Black also shows up twice on my font list, even though there is only one version installed and used in my stylesheets. The font is clearly OT in the replace font dialog box, does not trigger a preflight warning and exports fine to PDF.

Wrong alphaphetic order in index
Alphaphetic index order is wrong in Finnish InDesign 19.3.
For example this is the result:
Koivu, Jukka 143, 208, 209
Koivula, Pauli 80
Koivu, Saku 132, 142
Koivusalo, Timo 110, 111
Koivu, Tuire 143
Kolmonen, Jaakko 17, 18Should be this:
Koivu, Jukka 143, 208, 209
Koivu, Saku 132, 142
Koivu, Tuire 143
Koivula, Pauli 80
Koivusalo, Timo 110, 111
Kolmonen, Jaakko 17, 18Also the W-beginnings word should be in own section, not in V-beginnings.

Mac OS. The floating windows for Text Wrap, Paragraph, etc. go blank over time.
Mac OS 14.3.1. InDesign 19.3. The floating windows for Text Wrap, Paragraph, and possibly others go blank over time. The only way to fix it is to quit, and relaunch while deleting preferences. Then preferences have to be redone. This has been happening for several years, over several operating systems, many InDesign versions, and at least two different iMacs.

Stop stealing focus
Please find a way to make InDesign stop stealing focus every time it does something. It does it 3 separate times on launch, every PDF export, and every time a file finished opening. Some files are 100MB+ and can take time to load, so sitting around waiting for it is not something people with work to do can afford to do all the time, and getting focus stolen in the middle of an email is not a good way to maintain workflow. It's unnecessary behavior, please fix it. This bug is present on 6 of 6 machines we use, spanning…

Autosize height does not work on threaded text frames
Autosize does not work on threaded text frames. Why not? You have a frame break that tells you where the box ends. Can you fix this?

PlaceGun does not have reference to idms textframe
Hi,
I'm trying to place a textframe from an idms file into an indesign document. The actual loadPlaceGun() operation seems to work fine as I'm able to paste the textframe on the page. However, I also want to have a reference to that textframe. I was trying to accomplish this by using
placeGun.pageItems.everyItem().getElements(), but it doesn't return any elements. I find this odd because I'm using the same method when inserting images and it works fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Link with pictures here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/placegun-does-not-have-reference-to-idms-textframe/m-p/14530065#M568624

Right-to-left paragraph orientation causes problems
Hello and thanks in advance to the respondents.
For several months now I have been suffering from a very annoying problem in InDesign and I have not been able to find a solution.
When I set the writing direction from right to left (using the edit menu - right to left), the arrow keys on the right and left keyboard stop responding as they should, and instead of each click the cursor moves one character to the right or left, clicking on them jumps the cursor to the beginning or end of the line.
The problem only exists when I…1 vote
