1. Multi-level lists

   1. VERSION: 19.4

   2. ISSUE: If you create a multi-level list (1, 1.1, 1.2.3, etc) and export as an accessible PDF the list structure is not correct and presents the incorrect "List level" to the reader when using any assistive technology.

   EXPECTED RESULTS: When a new level of a list is created the sublist's <L> goes INSIDE the <LBody> tag to properly indicate the list is sublevel.

   ACTUAL RESULTS: In the most recent build of InDesign, the <L> is just a sibling of the <LBody>. This is not only incorrect an a violation of PDF/UA-1, it also requires fixing EVERY TIME you use this feature in InDesign because it voices the incorrect level to the user when listening using assistive technology.

   Please FIX!!!!

   1 First level
   1.1 sub level
   1.2 sub level

   Should be:

   <L>
   -- <LI>
   --- <Lbl>
   --- <LBody>
   ---- <L> Child of the LBody

   =========

   NOT

   <L>
   -- <LI>

2. [ID-4245422]Underlines are drawn in the space left by "danraku jisage".

   When I use "danraku jisage " in the "mojigumi akiryou settei" , an underline is underlined in the empty space at the beginning of a line.
   Since there are no characters in the empty space, it is correct that underlines are not underlined in the same way as when indentation is used to lower the line.

   「文字組みアキ量設定」で「段落字下げ」を行ったとき、行頭の空いている部分にも下線が引かれてしまう。
   空いている部分には文字はないので、インデントで下げたときと同じように、下線は引かれないのが正しい。

3. problem with optical margin alignment and world-ready paragraph composer

   1. This happens in multiple versions of InDesign. I've reproduced it in ID CS 6 (8.1.0.420), ID CC 2019 (14.0.3.433), ID 2021 (16.4.0.55), and ID 2022 (17.0.0.68).

   2. Steps to reproduce:
      (1) Open InDesign
      (2) Create a new empty document
      (3) Create a text frame that is 100 mm by 100 mm
      (4) Place Text4.txt
      (5) Go Type > Story > check Optical Margin Alignment

   3. Expected result:
      The left margin should be somewhat ragged because the * character needs to be shifted left to make the margin appear straight. The right margin should be completely even because each line ends with the same word.

   4. Actual result:
      The left margin is correctly ragged. The right margin is ragged instead of being even.

   5. Text4.jpg shows the result with the ragged right margin.

   6. Notes:
      (1) This bug occurs with the World-Ready Paragraph Composer. It does not occur with the Adobe Paragraph Composer. Switching the composer produces the expected results.
      (2) This bug is related to soft hyphens (0xAD). If these are removed from the data then the expected results are produced.

7. [ID-4254090]Drag-duplicating an object with Alt key pressed does not duplicate, if moving on a separate page

   If I try to duplicate an object to another page, across the pasteboard border, by holding the Alt key and dragging with mouse, the object only moves there. If I want to duplicate an object to another page, I have to first duplicate it on the same page and then move it to another page.

   However, as that is unintuitive, I still constantly try to duplicate an object across the page border, leading me to undo back after I find out the object didn't actually duplicate, but instead I have moved the original object (and oftentimes edited it a lot already).

   As I find no particular reason why the duplicate shouldn't work across two pages, I believe this is a bug, or at least an oversight.

8. InDesign CC 2018 workspace loading incorrectly

   Since InDesign 2015 I have had the workspace customised for daily use however every time I restart InDesign my workspace shows it’s still selected however the panels collapse and some disappear entirely. I need to select reset workspace every single time without changing anything else and it goes back to my setup.

   Is there a way to make this remember, as I thought saving workspaces is what this is supposed to be doing? And considering that I can reset my workspace and it does come back then something else is happening.

9. [ID-4214608]Page numbering of last pages not visible when View Pages is set to Horizontal in Pages panel.

   When the pages panel is filled up vertically with the pages, and when the panel is set to "View Pages > Horizontally," the panel does not scroll all the way to the bottom, and the page numbers of the bottom pages are cut off.

   This is easily reproducible in any new document with reset InDesign preferences.

11. Return the use of "master pages" instead of "parent pages"

    In the latest version Adobe decided that their job was to educate us to speak proper language, which is why the word "master pages" was replaced with "parent pages".
    We do not find any problem with the phrase "master pages" and believe that it is not Adobe's role to dictate policy according to progressive agendas.
    We demand to return to the previous concept of "master pages".
    The term "parent pages" is confusing and misleading, with all the documentation of the software on the web for 2 decades referring to master pages.

12. Serious problem of "^" for GREP search

    Enter only "^" in the GREP search string field and click the search button to select the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph. But this cannot be used for replacement. The replacement result is 0.
    I gave up that it was only useful for simple pointing tricks, but when I run it from a script the application hangs.

    It is like this. (When executed, the rainbow cursor will rotate forever.
    Please be careful. )

    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^";
    var res = app.activeDocument.findGrep ();

    If the replacement string field is "~ c" (the contents of the clipboard), the first character is lost from the original text instead of entering it.
    This is also a very dangerous behavior.

    Requests for improvement include:
    Improved to prevent hang when executing the above script,
    If possible, replace text (add a character string to the beginning of a paragraph).

    GREP検索文字列の欄に"^"だけを入力、検索ボタンをクリックすると、段落の先頭の挿入点が選択されます。しかしこれを置換には利用できません。置換結果は0個となります。
    単なるポインティングの小技にしか役に立たないと諦めていましたが、これをスクリプトから実行するとアプリケーションがハングアップします。

    こんな具合です。（実行するとレインボーカーソルが永遠に回転します。
    ご注意ください。）

    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^";
    var res = app.activeDocument.findGrep();

    また、置換文字列の欄が"~c"（クリップボードの内容）などの場合、それが入る代わりに元のテキストから先頭の1文字が失われます。
    これも非常に危険な挙動であると言えます。

    改善の要望としては、
    上記のようなスクリプトを実行した際にハングアップしないよう改善、
    そして可能であればテキストを置換（段落の先頭に文字列を追加）できるよう改善。

15. Indesign incredibly slow or crashes with more than one document open

    InDesign (15.0.2) becomes almost unusable with more than (1) document open. Trying to copy text or images from one document to the next or just work in one of the documents while the other is open results in minutes-long wait times (or complete crash) to even select a text box, type a character, etc.

    Steps to reproduce:
    Open INDD doc (either on network or desktop)
    Open second INDD doc
    Attempt to edit text in either doc or copy over text from one document to the next

    Set-up info:
    InDesign 15.0.2
    Windows 10 Enterprise // 10.0.17763

    Trouble-shooting included:
    - Turned off all plug-ins
    - Turned off all preferences related to instant rendering of image, type, previews
    - Turned off pre-flight
    -Turned off type previews, variable characters, etc
    -Display is set to typical (although, it happens in FAST as well)

    As confirmed by a customer over the thread that the issue is fixed in InDesign 2020(v15.1.2.226).

    We recommend you upgrade to either InDesign 2020(v15.1.2.226) or to the latest InDesign 2021(v16.0.0.77) for the fix.

    If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application and click on the context menu on the top right and click on Check for App Updates.

16. [ID-4216889]Objects on the page jump if a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page and vice versa

    Hi developers,
    this is a longstanding bug:

    With facing pages documents on EVERY document page there is a zone where jumping of objects will happen.

    I call this the jump zone. All objects on a page that will jump are clearly inside the page's area. The bug has nothing to do with rounding errors where object edges are at the edge of a page.

    The objects should not move if pages are added or removed, if numbering of pages is changing. Nevertheless they do. Always. Unless, the zone has a width of zero.

    Below all the details.

    What is a jump zone?
    If horizontal values for left and right margins differ, there is a BUG that in effect forms a zone on the page.
    I call this zone JUMP ZONE because objects that touch the zone with their edges could jump horizontally.

    When will objects jump?
    1. When a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page OR a right-hand page becomes a left-hand page.

    1. When a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page and later when a right-hand page becomes a left-hand page again.

    This could happen within a single InDesign document open.

    WARNING:
    It could even happen to InDesign documents that are not visibly open.
    That's with InDesign documents that are part of a InDesign book file.
    The book file's feature with auto-numbering pages can do this even if no document is visibly open.
    The damage is done if auto-numbering took place AND the book file is saved.

    How large is the jump zone?
    The height of the zone is the height of the page.
    The width of the zone can be calculated:
    inner margin MINUS outer margin

    How large is the jump?
    The width of the jump zone.

    Where is the jump zone positioned?
    Positive value: The zone is at the spine of the page.
    Objects that touch the zone jump towards the spine.

    Negative value: The zone is at the edge of a page away from the spine.
    Objects that touch the zone jump away from spine.

    What versions of InDesign are affected?
    All versions CC up to InDesign 2020, Mac OS X and Windows.
    InDesign CS6, Mac OS X and Windows.

    Possibly also InDesign CS5 and CS5.5, Mac OS X and Windows.
    I did not test this.

    How can I avoid jump zones?
    Make right and left margin values the same!

    Are there workarounds if I cannot avoid jump zones?

    1. Anchor objects
       that touch the jump zone to text frames that do not touch the jump zone.
       Nested objects will not jump if the parent objects are not touching the jump zone.

    2. Group an object
       to another one that is touching the top or the bottom edge of the page.
       Tests are showing that objects will not jump if they touch the bottom OR the top of the page.
       ( OR both, bottom and top edges of the page .)

    Other things to consider about moving objects?
    The following is independently of jump zones:
    Objects could move to other pages if their edges touch exactly the horizontal edges on pages in facing pages.
    Depending on the version of InDesign this could also happen with objects touching the spine.
    Reason: Rounding errors.

    What can provoke all this?
    1. Add or remove an odd number of pages
    so that left-hand pages become right-hand pages and vice versa.

    1. Renumber start pages of sections so that left-hand pages become right-hand pages and vice versa.

    Note:
    Every document has at least one section by default.
    The start of that section is the first page in the document.

    PS: Why does InDesign Uservoice not permit to attach files with suffix .indd ?
    Message: "Invalid file type: .indd files not allowed."
    Isn't that rather absurd?

17. No keyboard focus on launch

    InDesign 14.0.1.209, macOS Mojave 10.14.2

    When launched and the following conditions hold, InDesign does not seem to have keyboard focus (i.e.., no keyboard shortcuts work):

    1. Show ‘Start’ Workspace When No Documents Are Open is unticked.
    2. The Control bar is open in the default workspace.
    3. The CC Libraries panel is either not in the default workspace or collapsed.

    Note that conditions 2 and 3 are met by several of the standard workspace, for example both Advanced and Typography (but not Book, Essentials or Essentials Classic).

    If you choose a menu item or click in an input field, the app gains keyboard focus. Otherwise you seem to be able to type endlessly without any discernible effect.

19. Accessible PDF Exported from ID contains SPANS in Reading Order panel

    InDesign Version: 13.1

    To reproduce issue, create an InDesign document with some styles, map styles to tags and export to PDF with tags (accessible pdf).

    Expected result is that in the Reading Order panel (and Content pane), each paragraph is wrapped in an appropriate container.

    The actual result is that each line of text within a paragraph is wrapped in a span container.

    Although this doesn't seem to directly affect the accessibility of the file, it makes additional remediation difficult because of the many containers found in the PDF file.

20. Export PDF, cannot cancel background task

    Sometimes, there is no way to cancel a background pdf export task.

    No way to close the document either, only hard quitting works.
