Problem with flowing text into a text frame with "Type on Path"
Hello,
I have reported this issue in prerelease but recieved no answer so I decided to post it here too. (I could not remember if I did or not but couldn't find that I did).
It's been a longe time since I wanted to report this behavior (perhaps someone did), but for some reason I did not. I came to find this problem when I was working on a unique job but I will only describe the problematic part.
I created a text frame and made it's frame into "Type on Path". I then inserted a horizontal stroke with baseline shift so It will always be on the same distance from the top when I change the text frame's height. The text frame was also defined with Text Wrap (Jump to next column). I did it because there is no way to give a stroke to one side of a text box or any other graphic object (like you can do in a table cell).
The text frame was placed on a parent page, on both sides of the parent spread and was threaded (In my case from Right to Left) like this:

I then went to page 1 I loaded the text I had in another text frame on the pasteboard and shift+Clicked the frame on the first page to auto flow it into these frame I created in the Paren Spread. InDesign didn't recognize that they are threaded in 2 ways:
1. The text flew into the first frame but then it flew into the type on path area.
2. InDesign flew the text only to the Right side pages and ignored that the text frame was threaded.

When a text frame is set with "Type on Path" area, InDesign prefers to flow the loaded text into that area and will ignore the threaded text frame.
I hope I managed to explain it as I find it a bit complicated.
I did a test on a Right to Left document and also on a Left to Right document and found the same behavior but I only tested in on my Middle Eastern version.
I also created a video that shows what I was doing.
Can you create this behavior too?
Thank you,
Shlomit
