Verctorisation
La vectorisation du texte ne fonctionne plus, impossible de dissocier les lettres d'un même mot comme avant !
Exemple : Le mot "Good" ne peut plus être séparé en "G "o" "o" "d".

Spell Checker
Hello
I have a problem with spell checking in Indesing. The issue is that it does not correct words that are wrongly accented, for example, in Spanish, the word "como" when it should have an accent or the word "mas" when it should have an accent.
Let me explain:
The sentence (always in Spanish): ¿como te va la vida? should be written like this: ¿cómo te va la vida? and when I run the spell checker it does not detect the word "como", since it should have an accent. However, if I write ¿como te va la bida? it does detect the word "bida" as a spelling mistake, but it does not detect the word "como". I have all the correction options activated and the language of the paragraph style is Spanish. It also happens the same with the words "está" "ésta" "and with words in singular that should be in plural and vice versa, for example in the sentence "los campo de trigo" should be "los campos de trigo" and it does not detect it as an error.I believe that since you pay a monthly fee, the programs should work properly, otherwise, you should compensate for the hours of work lost in spell-checking in an artisanal way.

Paste Discretionary Line Break Malfunction
The discretionary break character is an awesome addition. But I think it came with a bug:
When typesetting text that contains URLs, I use a GREP search to find all URL strings in order to globally apply a character style with Language set to [No Language] in order to suppress any auto-hyphenation.
I then use some search-replaces to globally insert discretionary breaks in places I don't mind URLs breaking, such as preceding periods and hard hyphens. This technique can still leave too-loose or too-tight letter-spacing when URLs contain long unbroken letter strings, and in those cases I insert discretionary line breaks where I want them (often recapitulating hyphenation in actual words contained in URLs, or just wherever if the URL contains a long random character string of some sort).
ANYWAY. Sometimes, unpredictably, if I use Type: Insert Break Character: Discretionary Line Break to insert a discretionary line break, then highlight the character and copy it, and then try to use Paste to insert the discretionary line break character elsewhere, instead of inserting the discretionary line break what happens is the letter immediately following the insertion point gets deleted.

Sporadic, haphazard emboldening of footer font on document pages
Adobe InDesign v17.0.1
2020 Mac Mini, Apple M1 chip, 16 GB memory
macOS: Big Sur, V11.5.2I have a multipage document with a folio and page number in the footer. The footer text is a regular weight Helvetica Neue LT Std (OT) font, and the folios (page numbers) are bold; the bold is nested into the paragraph style for the footers with a GREP designation. The footer text boxes are NOT active on the pages but are linked to the parent pages. Expected result: all footers match the font weight of the footer in the parent page to which they’re linked, defined by the paragraph style.
Actual result: Sporadically and haphazardly, the entire footer on one page will be bold; this appears, disappears, and reappears while scrolling through the document. I closed the document, quit InDesign, and reopened the document, and found that the issue appeared on a different page. The problem is that it's also showing up when exporting a PDF. This is a big issue, because I don't want this printing—and never know where it will show up.

Share for review won't update link with Indesign version 17.0.1
I've tried quitting, signing out of Adobe, restarting my computer, exporting PDFs and more and nothing seems to solve this issue. I only have been experiencing this consistently with the latest version. I'm on a Mac with Big Sur version 11.5.2 as well and it's not limited to one document, it happens for the majority of my documents.

inputfield filename
In previous versions of indesign (using 17.0.1 now) when saving a new file, the inputfield of the filename was already selected. But now it isn't anymore. I'm using OS Monterey (Mac) and this problems occurs on two different systems (home computer and work computer). How to fix this?

Big Bug?With the same page size and margins, there is an offset after A is moved to B?
A file and B file have the same page size and margins.
I moved pages 1-8 of A to page 2 of B. As a result, starting from page 3, the horizontal position would shift.
They should all be right in the version, but they don't.However, if you move all the pages (pages 1-17) of file A to the second page of B at one time.
If it is correct.why is that?
The reason for the coordinates? I didn't find the reason
I tried: it has something to do with the chapterFile is here

Error when exporting to Rich Text Format (*.rtf)
Adobe InDesign 17.0.1 x64
When exporting a Story's text to Rich Text Format (*.rtf), if there are Endnotes in this Story, the notes will not be exported.
To export notes you need to convert Endnotes to Footnotes, however there is also an error when converting Endnotes to Footnotes.
When converting Endnotes to Footnotes all text attributes (bold, italic, etc) that exist in the notes will be lost.
If the attribute is placed in the note via a character style, for example a character style that only puts italics, the italic will be preserved but as text exported to .rtf will be used for a web post, the character style it will not be recognized and the italics will eventually be lost.
It should be possible to export Endnotes to .rtf and also converting Endnotes to Footnotes should not lose the text attributes that are in the note.Adobe InDesign 17.0.1 x64

Bug in the "Table of contents" in the "Book" function
Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a manual in InDesign (version: 17.0.1) created in the "Book" function.
I created a first "Table of Contents" that I can edit without problem.
For the purpose of the book, I have to create a second "Table of Contents".
But as soon as I want to edit this second Table of Contents, the InDesign application quits on its own.
I work on Mac. First, I "saved as" and, secondly, I did the same thing, after resetting the InDesign preferences.
I still cannot create 2 "Tables of contents" in the "Book" function.
I would like to point out that in the "Document ..." function, it works very well.Thanks for your help!

recent files
Recently opened files are not shown on the home page after opening InDesign. The item in menu is also gone, so I cannot access them from the menu anymore. I tried to change the settings in Preferences > File handling, but the option to changed the number of files I would like to see in recent files is greyed out, so I can't change it.

Cannot create the link resource from the given URI
On a brand new Mac running OS 12.0.1 (Monterey). Restored from a Time Machine backup and didn't have this issue before. I use Bridge to select and insert images into InDesign picture boxes by selecting the image, right-clicking and selecting "Place" then "In InDesign" and the image has always been properly placed. However, since upgrading to the new OS, when I select and try to place, I get this error:
"Cannot create the link resource from the given URI." The Mac switches to InDesign, but no image is placed. Workarounds are very cumbersome as I'm often working with lots of source images. Running InDesign 17.0.1 in Creative Cloud.

100% scaling is anything but
I have a MacBook Pro 16" (Intel) with an external Samsung 5k monitor.
Starting recently, when I select View –> Actual size I get a tiny document not by any means represented @ 100%. See screenshot.
Formerly, the command has rendered an almost 1:1 representation, which is what could be expected (not least since the command is called "actual size" and that the resulting window header says "100%").
The issue is described here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/recent-changes-to-gui-scaling/m-p/12578562.
