Indesign CC Crashing when assigning character base style to a child style by script.

> >Indesine crash evry time i try to assign base character style when the text in question have child style. So i have "Product" character style, and "Bold Product". Text field have Product style on it from get go. Then i use script to edit this field and after that i construct new string and put it in field. So I assign first part of content to field, use Bold Product style on it. Then second part the name of product and I want to assign Product style to it, indesigne crash evry time i try to do it. No matter how i try to assign this style, by whole tkst, by part of text, or by insertpoint. Only way to do it is to define a diffrent style based on Product, for example ProductScript. And it works as intended.> >This isint some crucial problem, but belive me, after 4h of tinkering with it is just... no comment.> >

Bad optical kerning for superscript "4"

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.

WorldReady settings go missing in [Basic Paragraph] style
> >Adobe InDesign (ME) 2021, 2020, CC 2019, ..., CS6> macOS and Windows> >InDesign's WorldReady settings (Paragraph Direction, Kashidas, etc.) are being stripped from a document's [No Paragraph Style] style when opened on a machine with a missing 3rd-party plug-in (like Em Software's InCatalog). This appears to happen with any 3rd-party plug-in that adds a text attribute with a prefix that's lower than the WorldReady plug-in's prefix. While the following steps use the Middle Eastern app (English Arabic), where there's a UI to see the style's empty/blank WorldReady entries, we've confirmed that this problem affects all app variants (including English (Roman)).> >To reproduce:> 1. Install ME version of InDesign 2021 (English Arabic).> 2. Install Em Software's InCatalog plug-in (>http://emsoftware.com/products/emcatalog/> ) or any plug-in that adds a text attribute with a prefix ID below that of WorldReady's 0x50f00. (The SDK's BasicTextAdornment sample will work if its kBscTAPrefixNumber is changed to something like 0x43a00.)> 3. Restart InDesign while holding down Shift-Control-Option/Alt (to ensure the session workspace's [Basic Paragraph] style is rebuilt to include the new plug-in's text attribute).> 4. Create a new document and add a text frame containing a few paragraphs using the [Basic Paragraph] style. This text should compose as right-to-left (the ME version's default direction, as specified by WorldReady's kParagraphDirAttrBoss). Create a numbered list, since that's a great way to see the problem.> 5. Save the document.> 6. Quit InDesign.> 7. Remove InCatalog (or whatever plug-in was installed in step 2).> 8. Restart InDesign.> 9. Open the document that was saved in step 5.> >Alternatively:> 1. Install ME version of InDesign 2021 (English Arabic).> 2. Restart InDesign while holding down Shift-Control-Option/Alt (to ensure a clean session workspace)> 3. Open the attached SavedWithInCat(2021ME).indd file. (Well, UserVoice won't let me upload it. Ask & I can send directly.)> >Notice that the text frame in the opened document incorrectly flows left-to-right and the numbered list's numbers wrongly show on the left rather than the right. Edit the [Basic Paragraph] style and note that the WorldReady settings in the Middle East Character Formats and Indents and Spacing panels are blank/empty. (See attached before-after screenshots.) One would expect a style to survive intact even when opened on a machine with a missing 3rd-party plug-in, but instead some of its settings may be at risk of being lost.> >We've used WorldReady as the victim here, but this problem affects any plug-in, Adobe or 3rd party, that adds a text attribute with a prefix that's higher than the missing plug-in's prefix (such as Em Software's InData).> >Details: We've isolated what looks like a long-standing problem (bug?) with the SDK's AttributeBossList::CopyInto(), where it stops the copy when it encounters an attribute whose plug-in is missing. Instead, the copy should continue after the missing plug-in's entry order to produce a complete list of non-missing attributes. Copies produced by AttributeBossList's Duplicate(), ApplyAttributes(), and its copy-constructor are all affected.> >

InDesign Crash with Outlook

> >I am working on a Mac (Mojave - 10.14) using InDesign CC 2019. The bug is that when I open InDesign with Outlook already open, InDesign all of a sudden begins eating up memory, at about 1 GB every few seconds, until it reaches about 130 GB then force-quits not only InDesign but Outlook. However, after rebooting, if I first launch InDesign THEN Outlook, this doesn't happen.> >

InDesign 2018 crashing when I go to linked endnote text

> >I'm working with linked endnotes in InDesign 2018 (version 13.1), but my file originated in InDesign 2015 (I skipped 2017). I have already saved the document as an InDesign 2018 file but seem to be having problems importing a document with linked endnotes.> >I'm starting with an old InDesign file because I'm working on volume 2 of a multi-book series and want to maintain all my old styles. I don't know if that's relevant, but I have worked successfully placing linked endnotes from word in previous books already. In this one, the endnote references appear to have links but when I click on "Go to Endnote Text" from the reference point, my document crashes. When I try to add an endnote point, my document also crashes. I think the endnotes exist somewhere because there is a paragraph style and a few character styles that I can't seem to find in the document but apparently exist somewhere. > >I don't actually know if this problem is an issue with the original Word document or with InDesign but I'm really hoping this issue can be resolved before I have to import the other chapters in this book.> >Thanks!> >

[ID-4261000]Hebrew Text with Vowel Points Reorders Incorrectly When Pasted from InDesign to Word

> >When keying (or importing) Hebrew text, InDesign often misplaces vowel points when two or more vowel points are attached to a single base character unless the base character and vowel points are keyed in a specific order. I don't totally understand it, but it has something to do with Unicode normalization. Microsoft Word gets around this problem, but I can't say how. It would be nice, however, if InDesign could get around it, too.> >One Hebrew font, SBL Hebrew, has written Unicode features (?) to prevent the normalization problem, but most fonts cannot do this on their own in InDesign. Times New Roman, for example, sets fine in Word, but the same file in InDesign shows vowel points displaced. The user guide for SBL Hebrew (available easily online) explains the problem better than I can.> >Thanks for considering addressing this behavior.> >

Disappointed with Adobe

> >For me the last 2-3 InDesign updates have been just misery; I cannot work without the spinning wheel showing for every little change I do, so I have had to work on an older version. I was hoping the last update (15.1) would fix this, but no; I had to install an older version again. When will you fix this lagging problem which has been present in every update the last 1-2 years?> >

Adobe InDesign 2020 Super Slow

Correct UI Resolution for 4K Screens

UI Scaling feature (under Preferences) of InDesign 2022 should cater to this requirement.

Font name incorrect when a character style is applied

Variable fonts broken with World Ready Paragraph Composer

Change font without changing style

> >Assume that I have selected some text which contains instances of bold, italic, or other "styles" (not INDD "styles," but variations of a typeface within a specific font family).> >In previous versions of InDesign, I used to be able to change the typeface of the selected text, and maintain all instances of bold, italic, etc. In newer versions of InDesign, this is only possible when I navigate to the new font family by scrolling through the menu; when I search for a font family, I am presented with only the specific members of the family, not the family itself. This means that no matter which family member (roman, italic, etc) I choose, I will be losing for formatting already applied to the text. Please restore the ability to change the font without specifying a "style"/family member when choosing a typeface by typing its name into the font menu box. Thank you.> >If this is unclear, please let me know, and I'll answer any questions.> >

Bug with world ready composer when use space like thin en or em space in Thai language. And bug in text wrapping in 2020 version.
> >After updated to 2020 version that added support to Asian languages (include Thai), it look like Indesign force user (in my case Thai) to set language in Advanced Character Formats to Thai. After set the language Indesign also require me to use World-Ready Composer to set all tone marks in place.> .> Before the latest version, I always avoid to use World-Ready Composer because it combines a word to single object, not just locks tone mark and float vowel to character in the right position. By which it impossible to navigate with text tool to the position of text that I want to revise, even if I use right/left key to navigate. It mostly skips word by word, not only character by character. And when I delete a word or a character, some time it not only deletes backward but forward too. (I think because of when I delete character form a word Indesign instantly recognises new word and forces to delete that new word.) But After updated to 2020, I think, I anymore cannot avoid World-Ready Composer.> .> After I designed to use World-Ready Composer, I found one more bug. Because in many situations when I craft the spacing in layout (especially in Thai), I always use thin-space to separate character like “ๆ” form word before and after to make the space between them look good. But After I set to World-Ready I found that when thin-space (include other spacial white space like en or em) is in the back of the line the spaces in question act like normal character, so the last character of the line when use left justify do not snap to right frame border. The space still there like It becames one of character. So you can see the gap between the last character and the right frame border. (you can find this instance in attachment in file “space issue.”)> .> But the serious issue still there after the update. I, and all of my co-workers, found that everything about word wrapping in Thai language goes wrong after updated to 2020 version. This never happen in the former versions. I don't understand why this issue is happen. Even if I use Discretionary Line Break to help Indesign to wrap text properly. But It is not productive at all, because I had been forced to read text all over again and to insert Discretionary Line Break to every lines. (you can find this instance in attachment in file “wrap gone wrong.” In the high-light is the words that should be stick together.)> .> PS. while I wrote this issue report, my co-worker tried to migrate back form 2020 to 2019 and she found that when copy revised text back to 2019 it not the same character encoding. I advised her to try to place that text to TextEdit. It appears that some character is changed to something that is not unicode at all. That never happen in previous versions too. ((you can find this instance in attachment in file “text form 2020” and “text form 2020.” the text form 2020 at frist did in 2019 before migrate to 2020.)> >

Black swatch in cell diagonal line is not overprint

In this case, overprinting is set even if the overprint check box is off.> However, the diagonal line does not set the overprint even if [Black] swatch is applied.> This is not set unless the check box is checked, so it must be the same as stroke because it behaves differently from stroke.> >
