Anomalous character missing glyph in the Story editor – Serious file problems
I report a bug regarding an InDesign document of an anomalous character that is found in the "Story editor", which has already been reported in older versions of Adobe Indesign.
(OS version: BigSur 11.3.1)
(Adobe InDesign version: 16.2)As you can see in the examples that I attach, the text presents problems and I believe it is caused (or highlighted) by the missing glyph signs in each line of the "story editor", which does not appear to exist in the text.
The problem is not solved by making the file idml.
I tried to fix it by copying the text…5 votes -

Index sorting: offering choices «letter by letter» vs «word by word» vs user defined
When generating an index, InDesign has always use letters by letters sorting. It would be far useful if InDesign Index offer the choice between:
a) letters by letters;
b) Words by Words;
or c) Custom user entryHaving to manually fix multiple level of indexes is painful and make no sense at all with a computer generated content like an Index.
PS: Affinity Publisher is using «words by words» by default.

find/change text missing search: selection
after making a selection, the Find/Change text dialog sometimes does not offer Selection in the Search dropdown. It will be present under GREP and Object, but not Text and Glyph. Closing/reopening Find/Change does not fix it. Restarting InDesign usually fixes it...until it goes missing again.

InDesign Review Feature
My coworker and I are both suddenly facing major problems with the review functionality with Adobe InDesign 16.1 (Windows). This has only been occurring for about 10 days. When the review function actually works instead of an error or just loading nonstop (only works 30% of the time now), the links often don't work in the end for other viewers to review and show up as an error. Now, when this works, the comments from the review link are not showing up where they were placed, and when we go in to implement them manually in InDesign from the weblink,…

Share for Review 'highlight' and 'strike through' issues
The share for review 'highlight' function and 'strike through' function are not visible in the host's files or the online preview. When one of our designers creates a document and then shares it with the team for review we receive a notification that text has been highlighted. When you navigate to the online preview or to the original indesign working file the notification lives in the share for review box but no text is highlighted so you don't know where the intended edit is. The same happens with the strike through function. Pinned items or using the marker tool are…

InDesign Buttons and Forms NEEDS an "image field"
InDesign Buttons and Forms NEEDS an "image field" due to ease of ADA Accessibility logical reading order ease. Adding image form fields in Acrobat is fine but obviously more tedious work is required to order properly. This is a much needed feature in todays ADA demanding environment

Serious GREP style bug: ampersands
Hi, InDesign team.
I've run into a serious bug with GREP styles. Any GREP expression containing an ampersand character that is entered as a GREP style in a paragraph style will suddenly acquire additional ampersands whenever I scroll through the list of GREP styles.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Create a simple GREP style as part of a paragraph style.
The entire GREP expression should consist of the single character &. (Though this also happens when the & is part of longer expressions.)
Make enough other GREP styles that you need to scroll in the window to see them all.
Close the…5 votesThanks for reporting. We’ll review this shortly.

Hyphenation at page break while option »Hyphenate Across Column« is not selected
InDesign 16.0.2
InDesign 13.1.1The option not to "Hyphenate Across Column" in hyphenation settings does not seem to work reliably. Not in InDesign CC 2018 and not in InDesign CC 2021.
Sometimes it is ignored and sometimes it is taken into account. See the appended screenshots.
With each recomposing of the text/stories, the behaviour can change: sometimes this way and sometimes that way.
Please make the behaviour computable.Kind regards

Broken Creative Cloud links when linking to InDesign documents after InDesign 2021 Update
I work for a global creative agency. We use Creative Cloud for all of our lockups, logos and vector artwork.
Since updating to InDesign 2021, we've noticed that all Creative Cloud links are broken and when we export a file with embedded InDesign documents within it, we need to go through and open every single InDesign file again.
We now have to check every single link in every single exported PDF as there is almost always some broken assets that show up as white boxes.
InDesign doesn't give any alerts for broken links in this instance either.

Can't wrap the first line of a page
If I place an anchored image at the very start of the page, the first line does not wrap, it disappears behind the image. One solution in the forum was: Make an invisible line of 0pt. Are you kidding me?

Montserrat Font Constantly trying to load in InDesign
Whenever I open an InDesign file the background task starts up and it is Montserrat Bold trying to load. This occurs no matter what file I have open and whether or not the file uses the font being loaded.

Activating Font
My Indesign will randomly start trying to activate source sans pro fonts and will not ever finish activating. I can't cancel it, I can't go online to adobe fonts and decative and then active because it says there is a conflict. Because it's syncing it won't export any of my files until it's done ... and it's never done. The only way I get it to work is to force quit Indesign and it will work until it randomly starts trying to activate it again and the cycle repeats.

paragraph shading where inline table is used
Indesign all versions:
I often use pararaph shading to give my text some extra attention. I may also have tables in this text, that require the same shading. But unfortunately, that's not possible with inline tables. When I instead use inline graphics, the shading works as expected.
Seems like a bug to me!
