The character sequence -xx'-x crashes InDesign 2021 (v 16.0) on Mac
The sequence of letters -xx'-x crashes InDesign 2021 (v 16.0) as soon as you write this sequence yourself, copy or mark a letter from it (e.g. to change the text size) or do a search for this string, in a normal text field.
To reproduce the issue, simply write -xx'-x into a text field in InDesign 2021 or copy it into the text field. The X'x can be replaced here by other normal letters, upper and lower case doesn't seem to matter. The crash seems not to happen if the last X is a special character like ";" or "!…

CC Libraries Saved Text issue
In CC Libraries I have pre-set headlines text set with font and kerning. When I drag and drop desired headline into page layout, the font is changed out to something completely different. I've double check the save CC text file is it's as it's should be. I'm not sure what happened or how to fix it. These headlines I use on a daily bases have have hand kerning needed to each, which is time consuming to do each time.
Screen shots are with a headline what I'm looking to change from "All you need." to "The real deal." Both are…

Not able to work on more than one document in InDesign 2020 on Windows 10
Folks,
Please vote if you have the same issue:I can't work anymore on more than one packaged doc containing 'Document fonts' folder in each package in InDesign 15.1.1.
Moving frames, selecting text in the frames or switching between two (blank) docs causes an unacceptable huge delay what makes efficient work impossible.Performance got worse and worse since 15.02 / 15.03 / 15.1 already. Removed ID completely, as well any plug-ins or font management software. Bug occurs on three independent Win10 machines using 15.1.1.
I'm currently working on ID 15.01 which is the only version I can work in…2 votes -

My Adobe Indesign updated to 2022, but my User Interface font is very small and I can't increase the size. The choice to increase UI size is greyed out (see attached screen shot). Any ideas on the issue?

Not all spaces are rendered correctly with World-Ready Composer
The narrow no-break space (U+202F) is not rendered correctly when the World-Ready Composer is used: its width becomes equal to a normal space, instead of being thin.
See attachment for illustration (the problem occurs regardless of the font used), reproduced with InDesign v16.4.
This problem is maybe related to https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/41793187-bug-since-cs6-nonbreaking-space-s-issue-wit

Thaana text properly composed in 14.0.3 messed after converting to 15.0
Weird changes in the text after converting file to 15.0. (Upon opening a file with Thaana text) see attached images.
Diacritics completely messed up AFTER recomposing (change alignment or reapply World-Ready composer) See attached images.
Cannot use double/triple-clicking to select text composed in the new composer. (can select paragraphs already composed in the previous version, if no changes are made to that paragraph.)
To see it in a new document: create a new document, copy and paste Thaana text (ex: Dhivehi Wikipedia), apply World-Ready composer.

text bold italic regular
Cannot easily change text with bold italics and bold regular to non-bold italics and non-bold regular.
- On Windows 7, InDesign 14.0.1 x64:
- In a normal text window, type "regular" in non-bold regular Times New Roman font.
- Then type "italics" in non-bold italic Times New Roman Font.
- Select the entire "regularitalics" phrase.
- Click Ctrl-B. The entire phrase correctly becomes bold.
- Click Ctrl-B again. Expected behavior: The entire phrase should revert back to regular. Actual behavior: Only "italics" reverts back to regular. The "regular" remains bold.

Please let us know if using the short cut keys ctrl+shift+b/i helps to change the font style.Thanks,

InDesign 2020: crashing, undo doesn't work, missing fonts, text wrap is broken, so many bugs
The Undo bug is back. I tried to undo some text (in a table) and it reverted the document back to the previous save and then crashed.
On re-opening, ID complains that it can't find my installed fonts that I used in the document. They show up in the document, it just complains that they are not there. These are fonts that I bought and installed, so I know they are available.
I have also been having problems with text wrap not working half the time. I set a box (I've tried both image and text boxes) to…

Based on paragraph styles have issues when created by script
When creating styles via a script, styles that are based on other styles are not overwriting style attributes properly. i.e.:
p - font: Arial, size: 10.5, leading: 13, indent 8
p-first: based-on, p, indent 0
The indent may or may not actually be set to 0 if those two styles are created by a script. If I fix the indent manually in InDesign, any of the styles that are based off of p-first would update properly.2 votes -
Running Header issue with anchored textframes (for alternative titles)
If I use an anchored textframe to have abbreviated versions of the headlines as running head, they override every following trigger until the end of the story.
I use character styles as trigger set to 'last on page'.
Please fix this. (Or configure a better way for customizable running headers. Preferable in combination with the table of content)
