InDesign 19.0 Update: Change in Diacritic Selection Behavior in the hebrew language

[rami zins]

Hi. I discover serious bugs in InDesign in the Hebrew language.
I export a book file and find that dots are gone, hyphens are gone.
What am I supposed to do with it?

There are a couple of bug reports over on the InDesign.uservoice site. I think that they could be gathered into one megathread but here are a few:

Because this is a user-to-user forum that the developers may read from time to time, the direct bug reports to the developers can be done via the indesign.uservoice.com site.

I suspect that my vanishing-fullstops bug report on Uservoice is going to turn out to be the same bug:

There are a lot of RTL fixes coming in version 19.2 which is rolling out now.

FYI, I may have jumped the gun on this. While it's coming, I think it's only available as part of pre-release which anyone can join.

For now uninstall the 19.2 version and install the 18.5.1 version (from 2023). It is not a longterm fix, but at least for the time being it is possible to export PDFs in Hebrew.
