Hi all,
it seems I’ve found an InDesign bug that is creating some problem on a project for a customer.I have a document with a table nested inside another table, the layer is locked but I’m able to find the text inside the nested table even if the “search on locked layer” is inactive.
I can also apply another paragraph style to the text inside the nested table (with the layer locked) and this is causing some problem because I need to change the styles of the text of unlocked layers with a script.You can download a sample document and a screenshot here:

Claudio,
What version of InDesign are you using? You might want to post this on the InDesign, InCopy and InDesign Server feedback forums that are monitored by Adobe’s engineers.

Claudio, if you control your styles with a script, you can exclude those tables. Of course your script must maybe built slightly different, e.g. with ‘alert(app.selection[0].parent.parent.parent);’ you get different results, if your cursor is placed in the outside (result is a textframe) or inner table (result is a cell).
So you could loop through every paragraph and check the parent elements.
