African Ajami diacritics not shaping properly
InDesign Version 16.01 and 16.1
InDesign is not properly shaping Arabic diacritics that are used for African languages. When typing the African diacritics they do not attach properly to the base letter and they break script connection. If they African diacritics are substituted for MSA diacritics using Stylistic Sets then it works properly. This problems occurs for all variants of the African Damma.

control palette disappears
When the system comes out of screen saver or sleep mode, the Control palette has disappeared. The only way to make it visible again is to quit and restart the program. InDesign Version 16.1, macOS 10.14.6 Mojave, 2013 MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013). Two monitors: built-in retina display 15.4-inch (2880 x 1800) with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB graphics and 19.5-inch (1920 x 1080) DELL D2015H Display also using NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB graphics. Problem seems to be related to the use of two monitors.

IDS 2021 (16.x Windows) Locks up when loading indd file with missing font in paragraph style
InDesign Server 2021 Windows Edition (16.x)
We had several indd files that had a Paragraph Style listing a font that was not actually used anywhere in the document (no text in the file was using that font.). In other words, the Style said it used "font a", but there was never ANY text actually using "font a" in the file. "Font A" is a non-system font that was installed on the desktop. If you load the indd file in InDesign Desktop, no errors occur, and Preflight says there are no errors, as expected.
If you remove the file from the desktop, and then open the indd file in InDesign desktop, you still get no errors and no preflight errors, even though the font is defined in the Paragraph style.
If you then use COM to control InDesign Server (windows edition), and tell it to load the indd file. InDesign Server will lock up. No errors are shown on the console or event log, IDS just LOCKS UP..
If you package the indd project and tell it to include document fonts, it will not include the font defined in the Paragraph style unless text using that font is actually in the document.
I don't think InDesign Server should LOCK UP in this circumstance.We had this happen with some 60+ indd files, and it took a lot of trial & error to determine what actually CAUSED the lockup.
To reproduce:
1) Use InDesign Desktop to create an InDesign document.
2) Define a Paragraph style using a font that is NOT installed on the InDesign Server.
3) Define a text frame using that Paragraph style. Do not actually put ANY text in the frame.
4) Save the InDesign document.
5) Use COM to bind to an instance of InDesign server APPLICATION object (called "app" in this example.
6) Use the APPLICATION instance to open the indd file in OpenCopy mode ((InDesignServer.Document)app.Open(<filename>, InDesignServer.idOpenOptions.idOpenCopy)
InDesign server will never come back. It locks up.If you edit the indd file and change the Paragraph style to be a font that is actually installed on IDS, then the open returns an instance of the DOCUMENT COM object as expected.

CC Libraries placing permission error
Indesign Version 16.1
Mac OS 10.14Indesign doesn´t let me place graphics (testet JPG, PSD, PDF files) trough the CC Libraries panel. I can open/edit them, via double click, in Photoshop/Acrobat/Illustrator though.
I tested this with older libraries I already had a few versions of Indesign before. I also testet this with a library I just created. Still the same error .
I attached a Screenshot of the error message.

URL link loses its link info
When importing a Word file whose text includes over 150 URLs, the link info gets dropped for some of those links. This has happened with several competely different projects for me. I am including the Word file, and also a PDF -- exported from the INDD file. The bad links are circled in the PDF (as comments).
Evidently this site does not allow me to upload the INDD file (even when it is Zipped) -- which seems odd, since you might need it to diagnose the problem.
THIS IS A BUG REPORT, not an "idea". Prior versions of InDesign did not have this problem.

Tracking gets lost with IDML
Hi guys,
We use the IDML format to transfer data with our translation office. I realized when I open the translated IDML files again the paragraph styles which include values for tracking in paragraph or character styles lost these values.
I hope no ther settings in the styles are affected.Is there a workaround to fix this or is it already on the bugfix to-do-list?

Using URL with Czech diacritics causes broken link
When I copy URL from existing Czech Wikipedia page
https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violka_vonná
and assign it to text in a document, the indicator in Hyperlinks panel turns red, but when I check it’s value by double clicking the link I find the same text in the Edit hyperlink field (copy and pasting the text from hyperlinks panel to text editor proves it’s identical). When I export the to PDF, resulting the link doesn’t work and (in pop up text) shows another link’s value

When I click the link in PDF I end up on nonexisting web page with yet another address

text wrap controls behave different with transformed objects
InDesign 16.1v64
Text Wrap controls behave different with transformed objects.
At first I was going to report this as a bug and saw one other post where they were having the same issue but then I realized what is really going on so I'm making a suggestion.
Look at the Text Wrap for an Image object with the controls unlinked.
I was seeing the bottom control affecting the right side. And the Right side control affecting another side.
After some research I realized this was only happening on the images I'd imported and rotated 90 degrees.
Say there are two images sitting on the page and one was rotated but the other not.
And we want to adjust the text flow around them by playing with the text wrap controls. The controls work as expected with one but not the other. On that one they reflect the rotated state of the image. If you did not know the image is rotated, or forgot, you tear your hair out trying to figure out what is going on.
The controls should reflect the orientation on the screen. Up is always Up, Right is Right, Left is Left, Down is Down. No abstracting to rotated states required.
Please consider making this a Fix.
Thank you for reading this far . . .InDesign 16.1v64

Importing swatches: The colors are not in the correct order
(Adobe InDesign 2021 16.1)
When I import color swatches from another InDesign doc, the order of the swatches are reversed within the folders in the swatch pallette.
When I import color swatches from an ase-file, the tint colors are missing.
Even though this is a minor issue, I really hope it can be fixed.
Thank you.

Automatic Hyphenation
When exporting an InDesign file as pdf, a "B" is added to a hyphenated word (see screenshot: left is the ID file, right the pdf). This does not happen systematically, but so far twice in roughly 500 pages, both times in footnotes though.

Publish Online Image Scaling Issues
I'm running into an issue where images don't render at the correct scaling for Publish Online. See screenshots.
The image types affected appear to be PNG and SVG images. I can fix this by re-exporting the image as a JPG but that is a massive waste of time – we use SVG images heavily to keep file sizes down. If they don't scale correctly in Publish Online, it makes the feature basically useless for us.

Outlined text
I'm using InDesign v 16.1 for a Mac. I just encountered an issue with outlining text. As you can see in the "Display in Preview" png, all of the text is visible and matches what I actually see in InDesign. All of this text is outlined by pressing command + O. When you look at the "Display in Acrobat" png, the yellow outlined text appears to be transparent. Again, all of the text in the png files are outlined. This issue is also visible at our print shop. The workaround I found is just to keep the text live, but there are times where I need the text to be outlined. Any guidance on this issue would be appreciated.
