Random missing text which does not affect the PDF output
Greetings,
Please compare the two screenshots that I've posted. One is a shot from InDesign, and the other is a screenshot from the PDF output of the same text. As you can see there are some missing lines in when I look at the text in InDesign.
Some notes:
1) It always happens with list items (bullet lists, numbered lists)
2) The random missing text parts changes as I change the magnification (zoom) level
3) It happens on all my documents
4) I haven’t changed anything recently. No InDesign updates, etc.
5) The font used is Minion Pro and supplied…1 vote -
InDesign v19.5: Data Merge Problems with Diacritical
InDesign v19.5: Data Merge Problems with Diacritical
I wanted to use "Data Merge" again after a while, but I found that it no longer works as it did in the previous version (v18). In the old version (v18), "Data Merge" worked correctly with diacritics, but in the current version (v19.5), it does not, and it's definitely not a font issue (I’ve tried all of them). The ".csv" file is exactly the same as the one used before, and when I use the old version, everything works as it should. The problem occurs with certain characters, such as "Š", "Č" and…

Text appears heavier over a transparent image
When text is in a layer above an image that has its basic blending mode set to "multiply" the text is rendered with a darker outline. This does not appear in the final PDF, only the preview, but it makes it extremely difficult to judge font sizes and whether text is bold.
To reproduce:
- Create text in a text box.
- Insert a JPEG image on the page.
- Use the Arrange option on the image to "send to back" so that it is in a layer below the text
- Use Effects > Transparency on the image and set its blending mode…

Override to Character Style Gets Removed
File from a client had a character style on a phrase making the phrase Italic. They then overrode part of the phrase with the character style back to Regular.
When a different paragraph style is applied (WITHOUT telling InDesign to remove overrides) the override within the character style goes away, reverting the overridden text back to the character style.
The problem seems to only occur when the font style of the new paragraph style being applied MATCHES the override that's applied.
I.e., overriding to Bold, then applying the a new paragraph style that is Bold, removes the override. BUT overriding…

erratic and missing cursor in text frames
My setup: Windows 10 Pro, InDesign CC 14.0.2 x64, Ben-Q monitor.
My cursor behaves properly when I use the Select tool, but when I use the Type tool, the cursor becomes very tiny outside of a text frame. If I click within a text frame, a vertical cursor blinks. However, to maneuver within the text frame, I need to use the cursor keys on my keyboard! I've tried changing the cursor settings for my system and restarting my computer to no avail. Please do not tell me to "trash" my preferences. I've spent a lot of time setting up a…1 vote -
printer
InDesign fails to print on networked printer.
Installed HP OfficeJet 6958 using HP "Wizard" to download drivers and install.
Printer is installed over wireless network (connected through router).Same error occurred when installing Canon iP110 using downloaded installer (it installed as Canon iP110 Series WS) (But CAN print to Canon iP110 installed through "add printer")
All other applications print fine, including PhotoShop and Acrobat.
InDesign goes through print process (window pops up to show pages being processed), but does not print. File does not appear in printer queue.
This occurs with all documents - graphics, non-graphics, etc.

Disappearing text when I type the character ,,T"
So, I have an InDesign file, which is a brandbook for a partner. Few paragraph styles and some items, nothing secial. I use Prompt (Google font) installed on my system. As soon as I hit (smallcaps) T when writing the text OR becomes unvisible or it breakes to the basic paragraph style AND it wont display the T. IF I copy and paste the text from outside of InDesign then it displays T. And the All Caps T works as well. This bugg is really annoying. Could you look into this issue?

Multiple variables cause issues when creating a Table of Contents
Version 14.02, Mac
I have a chapter title with nested character styles. Parts of the chapter titles are used to create headers on the subsequent pages. When I try to create a table of contents that includes those headers, there are multiple page numbers coming in. (The page numbers come in twice). I can see this is a known bug since ID 2015, but thought I would mention it is still a problem.1 vote -
Style shortcuts keep disappearing
InDesign 13.1.1
I'm not sure what is going on but it's been happening for a while now. The only way I've been able to fix it has been to trash my preferences. Unfortunately even that doesn't last long, sometimes as short as a day.
I make a lot of paragraph and character shortcuts for my projects. Each has it's own set of fonts so although I use the same shortcuts each are attached to different fonts so when I jump into a project I need to be able to see the shortcuts in the panel to remember which…

hyperlink removes style
This is ID 19.4.
Hello– I have a character style applied to some (but not all) of the text in a TOC (see Attachment 1). As a test, we'll consider the word BELFAST, which has this specific style applied to it: font Roboto Bold, size 10, leading 12, All Caps, PMS 5275 CMYK.
However, when I use the 'Add Hyperlink' function to the entire text block (from BELFAST to the page #), the previously described style I have applied onto BELFAST is removed (see second attachment).
The particular TOC I'm showing you is short so no biggie, but I have…

Glyphs "alternates for selection"

Find Glyph uses character style set in the Text tab
It's not possible to set a character style in the Glyph tab of the Find/Change window. But if you set a character style in the Text tab, the Glyph tab uses that style to limit the search scope.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start a new document, add a character style. (Doesn't matter what formatting you add to the character style.)
- Place a text frame and enter 'xx'.
- Apply the character style you added in step 1 to the first x.
- Set the character style in the Find Format field of the Text tab of the Find/Change window.
- Go to the Glyph…
1 voteHi,
In step 4, are you setting the find format field to be the character style you have created in step step 1?
If yes, then InDesign will only find those “x” which have the character style same as in the find format field (=character style created in step 1 and applied to only first x)
https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/find-change.htmlPlease can you elaborate a little more on the steps.

InDesign stops at "Fetching Service Registry" on launch every time — only resolves when disabling fonts
Hello Adobe team,
I have been using InDesign regularly, but for the past year, I have been encountering a very annoying and recurring issue.
Every time I try to launch InDesign, it gets stuck on the screen saying "Fetching Service Registry" and never completes the startup process.After troubleshooting, I found out that temporarily disabling some OS fonts allows InDesign to launch properly.
However, this is extremely inconvenient as I have to do this every single time before starting my work.This issue is highly reproducible and happens almost every launch.
I would kindly request that the team look…

Persistent Cursor and Functionality Issues in Adobe InDesign After macOS Sequoia 15.1.1 Update
Description of the Issue:
I’m experiencing multiple issues with Adobe InDesign across different versions (including the latest and earlier releases) after updating to macOS Sequoia 15.1.1. These problems occur consistently across various files and significantly disrupt workflow.
Issues encountered:
Unable to apply colors from the swatch palette – clicking on a swatch does not work for either text or objects.
Styles (both text and object) cannot be applied by clicking; I must use right-click and "Apply Style" instead.
Frames on the page shift a few millimeters upon clicking, seemingly on their own.
Stroke color for objects cannot be selected or…3 votes -

InDesign CC 14.0.3
I work in the health sector of the Pacific North West. We are incorporating Indigenous languages in our communications both in print and online in an effort to be inclusive and represent our diversity.
Recently, I have been unable to use any Indigenous keyboard symbols with InDesign (and I assume other CC products) - though I can use it in this forum and in other software. Examples are Ȼ and Ŧ. I've attached a screen grab showing the language keyboards installed on my MacBook Pro and a result. As a reference, this site provides Indigenous language keyboards…
