InDesign should warn users when text size limit is reached
>>>InDesign should warn users when text size limit is reached. This is especially important when resizing existing documents. If you have a huge billboard covered in lockups/text elements that you're resizing, you have no way of knowing whether the text limit is reached unless you notice it. A warning dialogue box would be nice.

Rulers exceeding text boundaries, only paragraph shading or offsets seem to be able to limit them
>>The issue is described in this thread (sample .INDD file link included in the thread to reproduce the issue):
> >>The excess rulers that go beyond the text boundary can only be removed (or masked, not sure which is actually happening) with paragraph shading.
>>As a rule, rulers should not go beyond the text boundary, and they should adapt to the text boundary (if font size have been changed, or if other changes have been made that affect the layout).

InDesign 2024 regression: Text variable rendering breaks Google barcode font

linking text blocks error
>>I created several related blocks on a master page. The blocks don't auto-continue; they're not master blocks. I then initialize them and filled them with text. Then I group them with other elements. Then I no longer needed them, so I tried deleting the blocks. But InDesign wouldn't allow it, as it thought I needed to add pages. I deleted the entire contents of the text blocks. But InDesign still tried to add the page, even though there was no content in the blocks. The last block in the chain link always had a continuation icon, but in reality

Weight remains on text when exported to pdf even if changed to zero.

>>Once a stroke weight has been added, if you then change the stroke weight back to zero, then when you export to pdf the pdf will have a stroke weight added to the text, even though the indesign document looks correct. It may not have the original amount of weight that was added, but it will definitely have what looks to be around a .2 weight added.

InDesign Corrupt files
>>InDesign users all have to deal with corrupt files sometime during their career using this program. Usually meaning lost time and, more importantly, money. It would be nice if there was a way to have InDesign or another program scan and fix corrupt files (Adobe FirstAid). Dumping this corrupt file into this program would scan the file, find the cause of the error, and isolate it--almost like a virus scanner. Even if this means a page is lost or margins are messed up. It would be nice to at least get some work saved. For example, I throw in
