1. On the Radar? New character for uppercase "ß" in germany – dont forget to be able to disable auto-"ß" into SS…

   If I use shift+"ß", InDesign changes to "SS" – so far so good. But that got revised 29.7.2017. I hope thats on InD's radar.

   "Anfang 2008 wurde das große ß als neues Zeichen in den internationalen Standard Unicode für Computerzeichensätze aufgenommen, am 24. Juni 2008 trat die entsprechende Ergänzung der Norm ISO/IEC 10646 in Kraft.[1] Seit dem 29. Juni 2017 ist das ẞ Bestandteil der amtlichen deutschen Rechtschreibung.[2][3]"

2. InDesign freezing when pressing backspace in a text box of more than 500 or 600 words

   This only seems to be a problem when using long text boxes more than a few hundred words. InDesign starts to slow down while I'm typing, but if I then select text or press backspace (mostly the latter) then InDesign freezes for 10 to 15 seconds.

   I've searched the problem, but the only solution I have found is to try closing the info panel, but this seems to be a CS3 fix and doesn't work.

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

   1. Adobe InDesign CC 2017.1
   2. Create a textbox, type Arabic characters including some digits. Change character direction from 'Default' to 'Right to Left'.
   3. 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.
   4. 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.

4. Hyperlinks

   I use a lot of hyperlinks in a document which link to the individual products on our website for online ordering and stock levels.

   The Hyperlink panel frequently corrupts - I lose the ‘traffic light’ link status indicator and location of the link (page No.) - meaning I have to remove InDesign and execute a clean install to get the feature back.

5. Variable Fonts in inDesign show different hinting results when compared to other environments

   InDesign v20.3.1 x64, Windows 11

   It appears that inDesign is maybe not able to correctly variate CVT values, causing unexpected hinting results. It seems as though CVT values that are used depend on the variable font’s default style/source. A possible way to recreate the issue: Compare the same variable font built in the same way but with a different default source set for each. If Hair (weight: 100) is set as the default, then it will appear in inDesign as if the Regular (weight: 400) is maybe using the CVT values of the Hair. This is shown in the first screenshot. It is not possible to recreate this issue in another environment such as Chrome. You would expect the choice of default style to not have any effect on the hinting result.

   Also attached is a screenshot that looks at the difference between a static and variable version of a Windows font: Segoe UI. Although this example is less valuable as it does not show as stark of a visual difference as the first screenshot and the static and variable versions are not exact matches, it stands to show a difference in variable font hinting that I found difficult to recreate in other environments outside of inDesign, possibly alluding to inDesign doing something unique with how it handles hinting in variable fonts.

   The screenshot examples use 18pt size text.

6. 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.

7. [ID-4263586] Adobe InDesign 2025 text justify buttons issue

   In the latest update of InDesign 2025 (as of writing this), there is a problem with the text justification buttons in the toolbar.

   Previously, you could click these buttons and then just keep typing into your currently active text frame, which is what one would expect from previous versions of InDesign.

   With the latest update, keyboard focus instead shifts over to these buttons, taking focus away from the text frame and your current text cursor position.
   This is completely useless, and makes it more difficult than it should be to, say, change the justification at a certain line of text and then keep typing or navigating the text in the frame.

   Would appreciate a fix for this, as it is causing severe interruptions to my workflow, and the feature/bug benefits no one.

8. InDesignで日本語入力時、1文字目が勝手に確定される不具合

   iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020（macOS 15.4.1）にて、InDesign 19.5.3を含む複数バージョンで、日本語入力時の1文字目が自動的に確定されてしまう不具合が発生しています。

   例えば「りんご」と入力しようとすると、「rいんご」や「り」だけが確定されるなど、意図しない文字入力結果になります。

   macOS標準の日本語入力（日本語 - ローマ字）を使用した場合にのみ発生し、Google日本語入力では再現しません。また、IllustratorやTextEditなど他のアプリケーションでは同様の不具合は確認できません。InDesignに特有の問題のようです。

   InDesignおよびmacOSの複数のバージョンの組み合わせで検証しましたが、常に同じ現象が再現されます。

   日本語入力は日常業務で欠かせない基本機能であり、この不具合によってInDesignでの作業が大きく妨げられています。早急な修正対応をお願いいたします。

9. InDesign Kerning Bug – Incorrect Character Spacing Display

   I have a bug to report in InDesign (possibly Illustrator). I have already addressed this issue in the community forum, where it has been confirmed by others, so it is not just affecting me:
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-kerning-bug-de-en/m-p/15187583/thread-id/613697#M613832

   There are display errors when adjusting kerning, making precise work impossible. (Kerning is intended for fine-tuning.) When setting the kerning between two characters, the spacing of other characters also visually changes. Please refer to the video for details.

   This issue occurs with both optical and metric kerning, at all zoom levels, on Windows 11 and Windows 10. Even setting the display to high quality does not resolve the issue.

10. Adobe Paragraph Composer interferes with spans and table

    My system: MacOS 15.3.1, Indesign 20.1

    I have found a combination of column spanning paragraphs, a normal paragraph with Adobe Multi-line composer, and a table, causes a very disruptive recompose fault.

    Using my demo Indesign document, type characters in the magenta paragraph where indicated.

    Expected result:
    The character is added, with no dramatic text reflow.

    Actual result:
    On the first character typed, the text reflows, breaking the spanning so that all the text appears only in the left column and no balancing occurs. On the second character typed, it goes back to normal. See attached "demo.gif" and also the forum post I link to below.

    Workaround:
    Changing the last paragraph before the span (the magenta text) to Adobe Single Line Composer fixes the problem.

    Test for yourself:
    Download the .indd file I uploaded to this forum post.

12. Text Variables using Running Headers don't show up in Table Header Rows when table is threaded across multiple pages

    I have a table running across multiple pages. In the Header row I want to have a Text Variable using Running Header to pull the text using a particular paragraph style. The text variable doesn't show up. If I unthread the table so it's just a single frame, it appears.

    My workaround is to unthread to one frame, convert the text variable to text, then rethread. It works if I do this at the end, but defeats the purpose of using them if customer wants last minute edits.

15. merged cells cause missing stroke when reopening or importing document

    Versions InDesign 2024, InCopy 2024, InCopy 2022, InDesign 2022
    Steps to reproduce:
    - Open InCopy
    - Make a new document
    - Insert a 4x4 table
    - select table and set all strokes to zero width
    - enter text in col2:row3, col2:row4, col4:row3, col4:row4
    - make the bottom edge stroke of col2:row3 4 points thick and color black
    - make the bottom edge stroke of col4:row3 4 points thick and color 100% cyan
    - save and close the document
    - open the document and observe strokes are intact
    - merge col3:row4 with col4:row4
    - set text in last cell of rows 3 and 4 to align right
    - save and close document
    - reopen document and observe the cyan line is missing

    The attached video proves it in InCopy 2022, but the same happens in version 2024.

    The CYAN stroke is also missing when the files are brought into InDesign.

    The ICML shows the correct BottomEdgeStrokeColor and BottomEdgeStrokeWeight

    The attached video shows the steps.

16. Preferences: Type: Use of Typographer’s Quote reset to off

    1. Adobe InDesign 14.0.3
    2. Create or open a document with Use of Typographer’s Quote checkbox ticked. Copy/Paste text from a document (Word, TextEdit) into the InDesign document. Note that the resetting of the Preferences doesn't happen all the time, only sometimes and I haven't been able to narrow it down to a certain context.
    3. The pasted text should use Typographer’s Quote according to the Preferences.
    4. The quotes from that pasted text use straight quotes instead, and when opening the Preferences, the checkbox is now unticked.

    Note: I've encountered this bug in previous versions of InDesign from CS5 up to the current version I'm using (14.x).

18. Diagonal Lines no border

    Having an issue with using diagonal lines in cell options. I'm wanting to split a cell diagonally with two different colours. The fill works fine as intended but the border isn't working at all. When you zoom right in on the cell it looks fine but when zoomed out it disappears. It also doesn't show up when exported as a PDF as you can see in the screenshot. My workaround has been to duplicate the table on top and then remove the diagonal lines fill, set the fill to none and then the border shows just fine. Not ideal having to add that extra step each time though....
