With 19.0 release we had added the support of Harfbuzz shaper as a default for World-Ready Composer in InDesign. Post that few issues were reported related Hebrew Text.
Over the period of ID19.x releases we have fixed various issues related to Harfbuzz shaper that are listed below:
1. Incorrect text direction when mixed languages are used.
2. Punctuation marks are getting lost when exporting it to PDFs.
3. When we apply forced line breaks, the right-to-left text changes to left-lo-right.
4. Overlapping of right-to-left text we place any .psd file in the textframe.
5. Selection and cursor navigation issues when we try to edit tables in story editor.
6. Text overlapping upon creating outlines when it contains footnote reference.
From ID19.4 version onwards, we have also provided a preference within the application to allow users to switch to legacy shaping engine for World-Ready Composer in case users are facing issues specific to Harfbuzz shaper, so that the behaviour becomes similar to what happens for ID18.x versions.
The new option is present in InDesign's preferences under:
Preferences > Advanced Type > 'Enable Legacy Text Shaping for Adobe World-Ready Composer'
If you still continue to face any issue with ID20.0 version - even after trying the preference to switch to legacy shaper, we request you to create a separate Uservoice thread for each issue so that they can be tracked and prioritised appropriately.
