InDesign Suffers Major Performance Issues When InCopy Files Are Linked To .indd File
>>I use InDesign a lot for production art. Mostly I layout text and images for product manuals that range between 110 - 250 pages. It runs like a champ on both my Dell XPS 8930 and iMac 2019. Both machines are robust with 32 Gb of ram. However, once I convert text and graphics to InCopy files, I see a huge drop in machine performance. Doing the slightest things like updating the ICMA / ICML file will hang or crash InDesign. Even saving the file can take 2 minutes. I've had 3 instances where the InDesign file got

Paragraph shading not aligned in justified text when optical alignment is on
>>>If optical margin alignment (story) is ON the paragraph shading doesn't align on the right margin of justified text. hyphens seem to push the edge of the shading out. This is in build 13.1.1 but is also reported in 15.0.0.155. I cannot update to the newest version without buying a new computer—so I won't be anytime soon or maybe ever. So I hope that the bug would get fixed retroactively. My original post is here: >https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/paragraph-shading-text-width-not-justifying/m-p/10750103#M164426>

Some Cyrillic RTF files exported from Indesign are broken if a non-breakable space was used
>>>Indesign 20.3.1 x64 release.
>>Attached is the Indesign file. Both frames are identical, except for the topmost has one non-breaking space and the bottommost has a regular space instead. The export from the top frame produces the buggy RTF (a screenshot of the glitch location is attached), while the bottom one is ok. If we put any non-breaking space there - it will fail as well.

> The bug was reported as font-dependent as well, i.e. the text set in Arial may have the bug while the text set in Minion Pro may not have it.1 vote -
Hanging drop cap has wrong indents in 2023 v18
