1. Clicking document-installed font from font list gives error to "activate font" and doesn't change font.

   > >InDesign 14.0 on Windows 10 x64> >I just upgraded to InDesign 14.0, and there appears to be a bug when clicking a document-installed font from the font list.

Create a new document in InDesign.> 2. Create a new text frame with the word "Test." Save and then close.> 3. In the same location as your new document, create a "Document fonts" folder. Copy an OTF or TTF font file into this folder. In my case, I copied "Sacremento-Regular.ttf" into this folder.> 4. Reopen the new InDesign document you saved in step 2.> 5. Select the text in the text frame. Note the current font (most likely Minion Pro).> 6. From the type list, select the document-installed font you copied into the "Document fonts" folder.> 7. Note the "Click 'Activate' button to activate fonts" error message, and that the font for the text frame has remained the same.> >

3. Paste with Formatting Button Obscures Text

   > >The new button to paste with or without text formatting is positioned so it covers up punctuation at the end of the text. This is a problem because you can't tell if the punctuation is correct and present unless you deselect, press Esc, etc. The button should be positioned lower, like the old OpenType button so all the text and punctuation can be clearly seen.> >

6. text typed on path distorts when converted to outlines

   > >Using InDesign v17.2.1, text typed on a path becomes distorted when converted to outlines. As you'll see in the attached before/after images, the converted text is mostly okay, but the last few words become almost illegibly small. The characters also become reoriented relative to the path ... some characters are vertical, others upside-down. I've tried changing fonts, creating new documents, and typing on paths of different shapes, but the problem persists. I was hoping that this problem would be addressed in the latest update, but it wasn't.> >

I couldn't recreate the bug in another file.> When I removed the text variables the PDF was exported fine.> I also had another kind of conditional text I made in these files - it was a sentence written inside the 'Text After' field in Bullets & numbering tab in a Paragraph style, and would show on book only when typing something (I used space) using this paragraph style.

20. find/change text missing search: selection

    > >after making a selection, the Find/Change text dialog sometimes does not offer Selection in the Search dropdown. It will be present under GREP and Object, but not Text and Glyph. Closing/reopening Find/Change does not fix it. Restarting InDesign usually fixes it...until it goes missing again.> >
