1. Logical error: searching words in selected text with Find/Change unselects text

   > >When using the Find/Change dialog to find text, there is an option to only search in a "Selection" of text. When the word is found, Indesign will mark that word, which would also unselect the text and no further search in the selection could be done. This is a logical bug.> >

    To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

    We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding : Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

    We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2020.0.1 (if you’re not already on it). It contains a lot of stability fixes.

    If you still face this issue even after updating to the latest version of InDesign, please submit the crash report to us. (The guidelines to submit crash are available at (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html)

    We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

17. Bug: Conditional text not shown as underlined when text is marked otherwise

    > >Version: Indesign 17.x on Windows 10> Problem: Sometimes text is being marked in bright yellow by Indesign. This is something related to character spacing and hyphenation and set. If that text is also set to be conditional, the underlines are not shown. In the attached picture you see it. This is a continuous conditional text.> >

20. Text originated from MS Word yields problematic results when exported to HTML (excessive <span> statements)

    > >I’ve stumbled upon a bug evident in text originated from MS-Word, which affects the HTML structure when exported from InDesign.

Type some text into it (as “Lorem Ipsum”).> >(2) Copy the text and Paste into InDesign.> >(3) Reset the Paragraph Style; then apply a Character style to the text (it could be a Character style with no attributes).> >(4) Paste the same text into Notepad, then Copy it again from Notepad into InDesign as a second paragraph (you could just as well re-type it in InDesign; the idea is to have an identical text created solely in InDesign rather than pasted from Word, to avoid any added hidden additional data which may be there).> >(5) Export to HTML.> >The paragraph pasted into InDesign from Word – even though it has been reset – seems to cause the HTML export process to re-state a <span> section for the Character Style – even though all of the text should be with the same attributes and the same character style – that is, the </span> of one character style is immediately followed by the next <span> of the same character style.> >The next paragraph, containing the same text >copied and pasted through a “cleanup mediator”> (in the form of Notepad, for example) does not cause the same behaviour.> >I could not find any difference in the attributes associated with either paragraph from within InDesign.> >This makes the resulting structure of a text originated from Word much more cumbersome; in addition, at least when dealing with RTL text (such as Hebrew) this may cause problems in alignment – especially when used in floating text elements (through css).> >InDesign version: 16.0.1 x64> >
