Performance: Import documents / style apply
my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) is super slow when importing word documents, search and replace styles or adapting styles. Does it improve when changing to the Mojave system? Or is there a conflict with FontExplorer X Pro. Any suggestions are welcome. I'm suffering…

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.

InDesign CC2023 forces paragraph in overset
Since the update to InDesign v18.0 (CC2023) the first line of a Paragraph with custom Bullet (Numbering) text, gets forced in overset when the first word is longer than 8-9 characters. They don't flow to the next paragraph and there is still enough space to keep the word in the Text Frame.
In the example you'll see two Text Frames with one with the word "Duurzaamheid" cut in two and the second in overset with no space between "Duur" and "zaamheid" wich forces everything in overset. In InDesign 17.4 everything works as desired. Uploading an InDesign-file was not possible so…6 votesFix for this issue is now available in the latest release of InDesign 2023 - that is, InDesign 18.1 version.
Please update to this version of InDesign to get the fix.

Not find unicode Greek when pasted into Find
When I copy a Greek word (that is entered in unicode) from an InDesign document and paste it into the Find field, InDesign cannot find the word in that document. If I type the Greek word into the Find field, then it does find the word. So there is a defect in the pasting mechanism for the Find function.

Non-breaking spaces & non-joiner odd behavior
The attached file has a bunch of samples. In summary, ID2018 on Mac considers a word and following spaces as one word; and a non-joiner is ignored. You'll need New Century Schoolbook LT Std to maintain proper spacing.

Arabic Diacritics move to unwanted places if you use an Index Marker in the same line
Adobe InDesign CC 14.0 (Middle Eastern version -- English يدعم العربية)
a. Type this Arabic text: شَيْء غريب
b. Create new Index entry for the second word: غريب
The Diacritics should stay as they were.
Diacritic of the second letter (يْ) goes somewhere else.

My title text boxes have weird word spacing I can't correct
I was happy with the last version of Indesign which I used on a non-Mac computer. My brand new uptodate version on the Mac is hopeless and I am in despair that I can't get instant help on my issue!

index alphabetizing with multiple words
When there an index entry has more than one word, the space between the words is improperly accounted for resulting in misalphabetized entries. See screenshots.

InDesign Strips Formatting When Pasting Text from Google Docs
Description:
When copying formatted text from Google Docs and pasting it directly into Adobe InDesign, all formatting (such as bold, italics, font size, and links) is lost. However, if the same text is first pasted into Microsoft Word or TextEdit, the formatting is preserved and can then be successfully pasted into InDesign. This suggests the issue is specific to InDesign’s handling of clipboard data from Google Docs. As a workaround, I currently have to use an intermediate application like Word, which slows down my workflow.Steps to Reproduce:
Copy any formatted text from Google Docs (e.g., bold, italic, links).

Index sorting does not care about language setting
- InDesign 14.0.1 x64

Add an index reference for the word "Överleva".
Add an index reference for the word "Ondska".Go to index Sort Settings. Select Header Type Finnish/Swedish for the Roman script.
Generate an index.
Observe:
Ondska is placed under O.
Överleva is placed under Ö. Which is at the end of the alphabet. This is as it should be, here in Sweden-land.However:
Skrivare is placed below Skrå. Despite å being placed last in the swedish alphabet. We have "å,…5 votes
