2. The order of Arabic digits is reversed when changing their character direction

   > > >Adobe InDesign CC 2017.1> >Create a textbox, type Arabic characters including some digits. Change character direction from 'Default' to 'Right to Left'.> >Arabic letters are RTL, but Arabic digits are written LTR; So when you change character direction to RTL, they should be in their right direction.> >Letters are RTL, but digits are reversed. The problem is that Arabic script is written RTL, but its digits' direction is LTR. Just like when you move caret and logically it moves in correct direction.> > >

6. Preferences reset popup penalty

   > >When an existing user has been driven by degrading performance to the extreme step of resetting user preferences, please do not also make us undergo the maddening experience of dealing with the ENDLESS blue popups / tooltips / ads for the features we've already seen and considered. You could make an argument for forcing a user to deal with the blue boxes on a major upgrade. A preferences reset is not the same situation. >Please> consider reducing the burden of this type of visual pollution in our workspaces.> >

    Under Review  ·  AdminSanyam Talwar (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

    Hi,

    Thank you for reporting the issue. InDesign currently has a limitation of showing only 1 GPU card in the InDesign Preferences. Internally we pick the necessary Graphic card for rendering. It is currently under investigation.

16. 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).>> >>Paste directly into InDesign text frame.>> >>Observe that all formatting is lost.>> >>Paste the same text into Word or TextEdit — formatting is preserved.>> >>Copy from Word/TextEdit and paste into InDesign — formatting is preserved.>> > >Expected Result:> InDesign should retain formatting when pasting directly from Google Docs, just like it does when pasting from Word or TextEdit.> >

17. Better Text Box Controls

    > >Could the in port and out port boxes be shifted slightly away from the bounding box corners? They’re currently positioned very close to the resize handles, which makes it harder to resize text frames — a much more frequent action than linking text.> >While you're at it, please expand the interactive area around bounding box handles so the cursor stays in Scale mode slightly farther from the corners, reducing accidental switches to the Rotate tool when resizing objects.> >

19. PDF Export Page Range Defaults to Previous Settings
