   ANALYSIS:
   The application appears to be getting stuck either during or after executing C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC Server 2017\Scripts\converturltohyperlink\ConvertURLToHyperlinkMenuItem.jsxbin
   This issue is user specific. In this case, the user is the Windows system. When we launch the application as a different user we do not have this problem.

   ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS:
   - Restarting the application
   - Restarting the server
   - Deleted user specific temp files in C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Indesign Server<version><locale>

   OTHER
   It's worth noting that is problem seems to be very similar to this issue:
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/indesign-server-startup-memory-issues/td-p/11500657

   However, we removed the user specific temp files and the application continued to take a long time to initialize.

2. Hyphenation zone settings override discretionary hyphen exclusivity

   Adobe InDesign Hyphenation Bug Report

   Summary

   Conflict between discretionary hyphen behavior and "After First / Before Last" hyphenation zone settings, where InDesign ignores discretionary hyphens that fall within the prohibited hyphenation zone.

   Product Information

   • Product: Adobe InDesign
   • Component: Text Composition / Hyphenation Engine
   • Feature Area: Automatic Hyphenation and Discretionary Hyphens

   Problem Description

   Expected Behavior

   According to Adobe's documentation, discretionary hyphens should have absolute priority over automatic hyphenation rules. Specifically:

   "Entering a discretionary hyphen in a word does guarantee that the word can be broken only where the discretionary hyphen appears."

   When a word contains a discretionary hyphen that falls within the "After First X Letters" or "Before Last X Letters" prohibited zone, InDesign should:
   1. Respect the discretionary hyphen's exclusivity (only break where discretionary hyphen appears)
   2. Refuse to break the word at all since the only allowed break point falls within the prohibited zone
   3. Not apply automatic hyphenation anywhere else in the word

   Actual Behavior

   InDesign ignores the discretionary hyphen when it falls within the prohibited hyphenation zone and applies automatic hyphenation rules instead, breaking the word at algorithmically-determined positions that fall outside the prohibited zone.

   Conflicting Features

   Feature 1: Document Hyphenation Preferences

   • Location: Paragraph Panel Menu > Hyphenation Settings
   • Setting: "After First [X] Letters / Before Last [X] Letters"
   • Purpose: Defines minimum character zones at word beginnings/endings where hyphenation should not occur
   • Example: With "After First 3 Letters / Before Last 3 Letters", the word "aromatic" may hyphenate as "aro-matic" but not "ar-omatic" or "aromat-ic"

   Feature 2: Discretionary Hyphens

   • Location: Type > Insert Special Character > Hyphens And Dashes > Discretionary Hyphen
   • Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+- (Windows) or Command+Shift+- (macOS)
   • Purpose: Manually specify the only allowable break point in a word
   • Expected Behavior: Word can only break at the discretionary hyphen location, regardless of other settings

   Steps to Reproduce

   1. Create a new InDesign document
   2. Set up hyphenation preferences:
      • Go to Paragraph Panel Menu > Hyphenation Settings
      • Enable "Hyphenate"
      • Set "After First [3] Letters"
      • Set "Before Last [3] Letters"
   3. Create a text frame with justified text
   4. Insert a word where a discretionary hyphen would fall within the 3-letter prohibited zones
      • Example: Insert discretionary hyphen in "example" as "ex•ample" (where • represents the discretionary hyphen)
      • This discretionary hyphen falls in the "Before Last 3 Letters" zone
   5. Force line break to require hyphenation of this word

   Expected Result

   Word should not hyphenate at all, since the only allowed break point (discretionary hyphen) falls within the prohibited zone.

   Actual Result

   InDesign ignores the discretionary hyphen and hyphenates the word using automatic rules at a different location (e.g., "exam-ple").

   Impact

   Severity: Medium to High

   • Typography Quality: Undermines precise typographic control
   • Workflow Disruption: Manual intervention required to fix each occurrence
   • Consistency Issues: Unpredictable behavior between discretionary and automatic hyphenation
   • Professional Publishing: Affects quality of professional publications where precise hyphenation control is critical

   User Groups Affected

   • Professional typesetters and designers
   • Book and magazine publishers
   • Technical documentation teams
   • Any users requiring precise hyphenation control

   Technical Analysis

   Root Cause

   The hyphenation engine appears to process the "After/Before Letters" rules after or independently of discretionary hyphen evaluation, rather than respecting the documented hierarchy where discretionary hyphens should override all other hyphenation rules.

   Proposed Solution

   Modify the hyphenation algorithm to:
   1. First check for discretionary hyphens in the word
   2. If discretionary hyphen found: Evaluate if it falls within prohibited zones
   3. If in prohibited zone: Do not hyphenate the word at all
   4. If outside prohibited zone: Use only the discretionary hyphen break point
   5. Only if no discretionary hyphen: Apply automatic hyphenation rules with zone restrictions

   Workarounds

   Current Workarounds (Inefficient)

   1. Manual intervention: Individually edit each problematic word break inserting discretiona hyphen at start of word to prevent it from breaking.
   2. Character Style with No Break: Apply No Break character formatting to words with problematic discretionary hyphens
   3. Adjust zone settings: Reduce "After/Before Letters" values (compromises typography for other words)
   4. Remove discretionary hyphens: Use only automatic hyphenation (loses manual control)

   Limitation of Workarounds

   All workarounds require manual identification and correction of each instance, making them impractical for large documents or automated workflows.

   Documentation References

   Adobe InDesign Help: Text Composition

   • URL: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/text-composition.html
   • Relevant Quote: "Entering a discretionary hyphen in a word does guarantee that the word can be broken only where the discretionary hyphen appears."

   Hyphenation Settings Documentation

   • After First / Before Last Letters: "Specify the minimum number of characters at the beginning or end of a word that can be broken by a hyphen."

   Additional Information

   Related Features That Work Correctly

   • Discretionary hyphens function properly when they fall outside the prohibited zones
   • "After/Before Letters" settings work correctly with automatic hyphenation
   • No Break character formatting consistently prevents hyphenation

   Test Case Suggestions

   Adobe should test various combinations of:
   - Different "After/Before Letters" values (2, 3, 4, 5 characters)
   - Discretionary hyphens at different positions within words
   - Various word lengths and compositions
   - Different paragraph composers (Adobe Paragraph Composer vs. Single-line Composer)

   ---

   Request: Please prioritize this bug fix as it affects fundamental typographic control and contradicts documented behavior. The fix should ensure discretionary hyphens always take absolute precedence over automatic hyphenation rules, including zone restrictions.

   Adobe InDesign Hyphenation Bug Report

3. When will Indesign (and the whole adobe package) work with properly with Catalina?

   Indesign keeps crashing, version 2021, and earlier versions - tried this. Illustrator and photoshop, acrobat too. Very frustrating, luckily been able to work on my laptop instead. But as a good customer I am paying for software that isn't compatible with the platform that it is used with constantly? The update panel forces one to upgrade the OS and then it crashes. Pleaaaase fix this. 2020 is sad enough already

4. Mixed usage Left-to-right and Right-to-left text in the same paragraph

   Ms Word files can contain Right-To-Left and Left-To-Right text in the same paragraph. When copy/pasting the text into Indesign, only one of the 2 textdirections is displayed correctly.

   Creating the text frame which uses the Right-to-Left text direction, and using the World Ready composer, the corresponding text is displayed well. Inline phrases in English, are displayed wrong. Changing the composer to regular Single line composer fixes the English phrases, but messes up the foreign language.

   When using different paragraphs, each with the corresponding composer, all works well. When a combination is used in a single paragraph, it can't be fixed.

5. Hilfe - PDF in deutsch

   Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

   meine Meldung an den Support wurde sofort bearbeitet. Leider kamen wir auf das Ergebnis, dass die Hilfe - PDF leider nicht auf u.a. "deutsch" vorgehalten wird.

   Vom Support konnte ich direkt die links bekommen, diese waren alle nur in englisch erhältlich.

   Mein Problem,...
   da wir eine JVA sind und die Strafgefangenen keinen Internetzugang haben, kann ich diesen, zur Optimierung ihres Wissens, keine Literatur an die Hand geben die im Internet vorgehalten wird.

   Wir benötigen die Hilfe-PDF in deutsch für folgende Programme:
   - Indesign
   - Photoshop
   - Illustrator
   Vielleicht gibt es ja in Zukunft eine Lösung für diese Problem.

   Weiter habe ich Ihnen noch unseren Mailverlauf aufgeführt.

   Ich danke Ihnen und wünsche ein schönes Wochenende.

   Sehr geehrte/r JAN MOHR,

   E-001348721 wartet auf Ihre Antwort. Bitte antworten Sie auf Ihren Fall, indem Sie unten auf die Fall-ID klicken.

   • Letzter Kommentar:Sehr geehrter Herr Mohr,

   vielen Dank, dass Sie den Adobe-Enterprise-Kundendienst bezüglich Ihrer Anfrage zu "Tutorials offline ansehen" kontaktiert haben.
   Ich habe von Ihnen, auf meine letzte Kontaktaufnahme mit Ihnen, noch keine Rückmeldung erhalten.

   "Wie von Ihnen gewünscht sende ich Ihnen den Link für die Hilfs- PDFs nochmals per Email zu. Sollte sich der Text nicht in deutscher Sprache öffnen, scrallen sie bitte im Bericht bis ganz nach unten und stellen sie dann die Sprache unten links unter "Region ändern/ change region" auf die gewünschte Sprache um.
   In unserem System ist derzeit die von Ihnen gewünschte Option des Herunterladens der Kehrvideos nicht möglich. Daher möchte ich Sie bitten die von mir schon zuvor gesendeten PDF- Hilfsartikel in PDF- Form herunterzuladen, was zumindest ein erster Schritt wäre: https://helpx.adobe.com/de/x-productkb/global/offline-help.html (Verwenden der Offlinehilfe bei Adobe-Produkten)"

   Sollte es möglich sein Ihre Schüler in Klassenumgebungen zu unterrichten, dann wäre das Benutzen eines beaufsichtigten Rechners mit Internetzugang, der die Lehrvideos über einen Beamer an die Wand projeziert eine gute Alternative.

   Hinsichtlich Adobe Programmen, Prozessen und anderen Anliegen haben Sie die Möglichkeit Ihr Feedback direkt unter https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html einzusenden. Adobe versucht stets Vorschläge, Wünsche und Empfehlungen unserer Kunden zu berücksichtigen.

   Wir bedanken uns für Ihre Zusammenarbeit und Ihr Vertrauen.

6. missing scripts after installation ID CC13.0/ID2018 Windows

   Startup scripts are no longer running after installation. The Scripts folder is empty.
   Indesign copies the folder from version 12 and creates the folder C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 13.0\de_DE
   But Indesign-scripts now are saved in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC 2018\Scripts
   So you have to copy the script folders by yourself.

   Need More Info  ·  Sumit Garg responded

   Hi,

   Thanks for reporting this issue. Just wanted to confirm few things:

   1) Was there some scripts present in folder C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 12.0\de_DE and these are not copied to 13.0 folder?
   2) Is your problem just limited to folder movement or you are facing the issue that your startup scripts are not running?

   Please provide more detail about the issue. Also, It would be useful if you can provide steps to reproduce the issue.

8. Not working window tiling introduced in macOS 15

   MacOS 15 Sequoia introduced window tiling, which lets you arrange windows on the screen in tiles.

   This automatically works for any window of any app on my Mac. It also works for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator windows, as long as «Application Frame» is activated in the window menu.

   But window tiling does not work with windows of Adobe InDesign v20. Even with active «Window Frame».

10. IDML export corruption

    This bug produces an IDML file with misplaced or missing elements.

    It stems from having a second master page based on another master page.

    When that second master page (based on another) is applied to a page in document, then saved as an IDML, the resulting IDML file will have misplaced or missing elements on the relative pages.

    TEMPORARY WORK-AROUND:
    While viewing the second master page (based on another), choose Override All Master Page Items from the side Pages menu. OR, simply do not base any master pages on other master pages. The resulting IDML file will look exactly like the original INDD file.

12. InDesign Fonts folder no longer respects symlinks (2019, Mac)

    The Fonts folder in the InDesign 2019 application folder no longer follows symlinks, as previous versions did.

    I prefer to keep my InDesign fonts separate from my system fonts, and in previous versions placed a symlink to my font folder in the InDesign application folder, titled "Fonts." InDesign would follow that link, and I would have access to all of my fonts within InDesign, without needing to install them user- or system-wide.

    In InDesign 2019, no symlinks are followed - not on the top level, and not inside the folder either. (Tested by symlinking one font or one folder inside a new Fonts folder.)

    The Fonts folder in the InDesign 2019 application folder no longer follows symlinks, as previous versions did.

    I prefer to keep my InDesign fonts separate from my system fonts, and in previous versions placed a symlink to my font folder in the InDesign application folder, titled "Fonts." InDesign would follow that link, and I would have access to all of my fonts within InDesign, without needing to install them user- or system-wide.

    In InDesign 2019, no symlinks are followed - not on the top level, and not inside the folder either. (Tested by symlinking one font or one folder inside… more

13. The UI is not scaling correctly on Windows 4k screens - UI too small

    Hi, I am having problems with the UI Scaling on InDesign on my 4k laptop. I am using the recommended system scaling of 250% which works well with other apps except for Adobe, most noticeably InDesign. I pay a premium price for Adobe CC which should be reflected in their products. The UI is way too small on InDesign compared to Illustrator and Photoshop.

    I also have problems in all adobe apps when using an external monitor to expand my screen size. Dragging the apps from one monitor to the other does all sorts of weird things.

    I have attached images showing the difference of the UI between Illustrator (which looks normal) and InDesign.

14. Data Merge function "Honor existing frame fitting option" is not working on master pages

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server

    Adobe InDesign 15.0.1

    macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

    iMac 27 Zoll End 2012

    Steps to reproduce the issues
    See also attached video

    Open the file > 01ExposeTEMPXMLStart.indd
    Generate a merged document by clicking the button
    Choose "Honor existing frame fitting" in Content Placement Options
    Click [OK]
    Jump to page 1 in the merged document
    The pictures are placed without honoring the existing frame fitting options from the object style
    This only happens with frames that are placed on a master page. The same frame on a document page works fine

    Expected result
    Data Merge should honor the new feature "Honor existing frame fitting options" on master pages al well

    Actual result
    The existing frame fitting options even by object style applied is ignored

    Workaround
    If a object style is already applied you can remove the local override by pressing the "delete local override" button

    Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)

15. Typekit keeps breaking sync and deleting downloaded fonts

    Typekit keeps breaking sync and deleting downloaded fonts.

    When I open Indesign, the fonts I previously downloaded are nonexistant which makes working with my document impossible! This happens at least once a week and persists after multiple uninstalls, system restarts and re-installs. Sometimes, it does not sync (or only some fonts sync) even after logging in again.

    On a side note, Adobe CC downloader constantly logs me out.

    With all the--excessive--background processes adobe now forces us to run you would think there shouldn't be an issue. I am more than happy to provide feedback and system information to fix this issue.

18. Locked objects get selected

    Not sure why adobe changed the lock of an item. It used to work perfect to lock my background objects. Now, it I have background objects; they still get selected even if they are locked; it's such a huge inconvenience and waste of time to sort selected objects. Please fix or put back the lock object.

19. [ID-4245419]Auto-Sizing of text frames results in abnormally long widths

    InDesign 2023 v18.1 (Probably occurs in all versions after CS6)
    Japanese Version
    English Version
    Mac snd Windows

    There is a terrible bug in Auto-Sizing for text frames that causes the width to become unusually long.

    Simple and reliable reproduction procedure

    1. Create a new document
    2. Set all units to points in Preferences
    3. Create a new text frame
    4. Set paragraph style to “Basic Paragraph” and clear overrides
    5. Set Auto-Sizing
       -->Change to “Height and Width” --> Click the upper left corner -->Turn on “No Line Breaks”
    6. Insert Spacing to 1 pt
    7. Corner Options to 1 pt and Round
    8. Enter “0 [Line Break]” repeatedly (about 20 times) in the text frame

    Workaround

    Set Columns
    -->Change to “Flexible Width”
    -->Set Maximum to a very large value (like 1000 pt)

    There is a similar post. My comment was not accepted here for some reason, so I posted a new one.
    https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/32214574-auto-size-text-boxes-with-rounded-corners-expands

    Japanese:
    テキストフレームの自動サイズ調整で、幅が異様に長くなってしまう酷いバグがあります。

    シンプルで確実な再現手順

    1. ドキュメントを新規作成
    2. 環境設定でドキュメントの単位を全てポイントにする
    3. テキストフレームを新規作成
    4. 段落スタイルを [基本段落] にしてオーバーライド消去
    5. 自動サイズ調整を設定する -->「高さと幅」に変更 -->左上角をクリック -->「改行なし」をチェックON
    6. フレーム内マージンを「1pt」にする
    7. コーナーオプションを「1pt」「角丸（外側）」にする
    8. テキストフレームに「0［改行］」を繰り返し（20回くらい）入力する

    回避方法

    段組を設定する
    -->「可変幅」に変更
    -->最大値を大きい値にする（1000ptとか）
