1. 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.

3. 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.

6. Footnotes do not honor "keep" settings

   Title says it all. If a footnote paragraph style contains "keep" settings and split footnotes are enabled, footnotes ignore the keep settings. It should be possible to (a) allow split footnotes, and (b) stipulate that at least two lines must be carried over to the second page, but this is not possible. Keeps are ignored.

7. 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.

9. Bug: blank lines between footnotes when aligned to baseline grid

   Found a serious bug in which aligning footnotes to the baseline grid adds blank lines between footnotes, even if the paragraph style has no space before/after, the leading is smaller than the baseline grid increment, and the footnote options specify no space before or between notes. This is breaking my workflow and I can't find a way around it without deselecting "align to baseline grid," which causes other problems.

10. 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).

    The font uses ccmp feature to build dotted glyph from base glyphs.

    When a LTR character comes into question, these glyphs are rendered incorrectly.

12. 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....

13. Text Variables Do Not Work with Auto-Size Text Boxes

    When I create a text box that has auto-size (width only) enabled and then insert a text variable (e.g. "modification date"), the entire text variable is collapsed into the width of a single character. It is as if the dynamic width of the text variable causes a bug in the calculation of auto-size, such that the width cannot be determined, and so it all collapses into the width of a single character instead, with all of the characters rendered one on top of the other.

    Very disappointing bug, because dynamic text variables and auto-size are a natural fit for one another.

16. XML tags are not allowing inside Footnotes

    We are handling huge STM Books and Journals and following XML workflow. Some of our books and journals will have huge footnotes with contents coded with client provided DTD. When applying the XML tagging to footnote contents, InDesign showing a warning that it's not allowed (attached the screenshot for reference)

    Due to this limitation, we're handling the XML based footnotes with different approach and unable to utilize the benefits of usual footnotes features, which includes footnotes moving to next page when the footnote references are moving, flowing the part of footnotes into next page(s) when the contents are exceeding the pages, etc.

    Please start enhancing the footnote features by allowing the XML structure as well to the contents, will benefit us and across globe to handle InDesign smoothly

18. composite fonts

    InDesign VERSION 19.1
    I Created a new font using "composite fonts", chose the base font, latin & Numbers. after creating the new font, i selected the text frame and applied the new font i created (like i always did)
    the problem is, tha the latin letters showed up with wide spacing (wide tracking) - shown in the attached image.
    While teaching my student that, they told me the encountered the same problem. Since i have used it in the past i assume it is a bug
