InDesign HTML export writes user CSS file in wrong order, ahead of base CSS
>>>Since at least v18, InDesign export to HTML writes any user-designated CSS files ahead of the base, idGenerated CSS file. This means user statements are wholly or partially overwritten by the base statements.
>>This has been discussed and noted in the forum since at least v18, and I thought a bug notice had been entered here but I cannot locate it.
>>This fault is critical for any users trying to export to HTML and use CSS style overrrides. Problems are likely elusive and frustrating since the "wrong interaction" of the CSS order may not be apparent unless and until the user examines the export header code.
>>The only workaround is to open every export file and manually reorder the CSS import statements.

InDesign 2024 regression: Text variable rendering breaks Google barcode font
>>>A sequence of numbers rendered in Google's "Libre Barcode EAN13 Text" font will not work if the text is inserted via a text variable. Entering the text verbatim with the same paragraph style produces the expected result.
>>This is a regression in InDesign 2024. The attached IDML file works fine in InDesign 2023 v18.5 but not in InDesign 2024 v19.3.0.58.
>>The font can be found at >https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Libre+Barcode+EAN13+Text>.
>>(Sorry for the .idml.txt extension for the test case – this form won't let me submit .idml, .indd or .zip attachments directly.)

Computer: Mac Sonoma 14.4 Indesign: 14.4 AMFID and TRUSTD
>>>Yesterday I updated both Mac and Indesign. Today I regret.
>
> When autoflowing a very large file (which yesterday would have taken around 10 minutes) - now it runs for hours.>Strangely I have noticed that while the delay is happening in Indesign - amfid begins to take 64% of my CPU on the Activity monitor. trustd runs around 24-27%. Indesign is running 9-10%. Once I shut down Indesign or the task finally completes, but amfid and trustd disappear from the activity monitor. Could this be the source of the delay. This is truly keeping me from my work.

PDF/vector rasterize fail
>>>Pdf rasterization has been bad for many years, a long time ago I reported this problem with complex graphics when thin lines appear in the image when saved to jpg. Previously, at least a pdf from indesign could be opened in photoshop, which had a different rasterization, but it has been the same for a long time, and when rasterizing SOME pdfs, it always creates thin lines in different places depending on the resolution...
>>Here is a sample QR directly generated in indesign when saved to jpg and in the preview in the application shows these thin lines!!!
>>I would like to point out that before photoshop had a different code for rasterization and it did not cause this, but now it is obviously the same...

hyperlinkTextSources.add thrown Errornumber 79111 since InDesign 2024

Typing over selected numbers doesn't work the first time in ID v 19.2
>>>ID v 19.2 won't let my team type over a selected number the first time we try, we have to press the number on our keyboard a couple of times for it to update. In previous versions of ID we didn't have to press a number on our keyboard twice for it to type over a selection.

Edit Hyperlink allows pasting newlines
>>>The hyperlink editor only supports single line editing, but if you paste a URL with a preceding lewline character, the editor keeps the new line. This makes the error non-obvious to the user. It is also impossible to remove the newline in the editor because it is a single-line editor, so it does not recognize that the newline is there. Since newlines are not allowed in URLs and in fact break them, my suggestion is to strip newline characters from URLs when pasted.

Color tags for pages in the Pages palette do not shift when page order changes automatically
>>>Color tags for pages in the Pages palette do not shift when the page order is changed due to changes in the text flow. Changes in text flow can add or remove a page automatically. A certain headline, for instance, then can move from page 19 to page 20. I wanted to tag the page that holds this headline. When text flow adds a page, the headline is moved from page 19 to page 20, but the color tag is still shown for page 19. It is not “linked” to the page content.
>
> This behavior is different from adding or deleting a page manually. In those cases the color tag moves with the page content it was assigned to (which make more sense for me).>>Color tags for pages in the Pages palette do not shift when the page order is changed due to changes in the text flow.
