3. PDF comments UI bug

   In the panel for "pdf comments" you can set a filter to show only some types of comments. If you open this panel, all "comment type fields" are unselected – although they can all be seen in the document (screenshot 1). This is a mistake. All the fields should be selected at this point.

   If you click on one or more types, only these types will be displayed in the InDesign document. Correct behavior now. (Screenshot 2)

   Tested with InDesign 2026 21.1 and 2026 Prerelease 21.2

4. Setting maximum limit above 2000 for "Always subset fonts with glyph counts greater than:" does not work

   By default, the InDesign preference General > Always subset fonts with glyph counts greater than is set to 2000 characters. However, there are many popular fonts that have many thousands of glyphs beyond that and changing this number to a higher glyph count to accommodate those fonts does not work. The fonts are still subset even if the PDF export setting is set to "Subset fonts when percent of characters used is less than 0%."

   Fonts to try:
   Garamond Premier Pro
   Arno Pro

   This is a major problem for files intended for print that require fonts to be fully embedded.

5. [ID-4264855] Issue with Animated Zoom in GPU

   New PC GPU zoom doesn't seem to centre the zoom on the cursor leading to not super useful behaviour (you have to zoom and then drag with the hand tool to get back to what you were originally trying to zoom into). It's very disorientating.

6. selecting text boxes

   InDesign 20.2 Mac M1 Sequoia 15.4.1. When I click a text box to select it, nothing happens until I jiggle the mouse. When this happens the corner boxes appear. However, many times when I click, nothing appears selected. This bug is unsettling. This is why I prefer to use InDesign 19 for important jobs. The text block in the attached screen shot has been single clicked.

7. Stuck on adding font, other background task get stuck in queue that never clears

   Occasionally I open a document that tries to add fronts in background, it fails then the task is added to Background Tasks and hangs indefinitely. Then if I try to export a PDF, it is added to background tasks but will not progress until the fonts are added, which they never finish loading.

8. Lag in 20.0 and higher

   The lag in 20.0 and its updates is hard to stomach. We pay a lot for this app and it is VERY difficult to work with these issues. Evey time I click on something in a document - no matter how large a file - there is lag. Text boxes, images, color shapes/boxes. I have a brand new Mac Studio with Apple M2 Ultra and 128GB Memory - I have more than enough power to support your app. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE. I have tried all of the troubleshooting offered to no avail, and I shouldn't have to trouble shoot to make it function properly.

9. Constantly forgetting Workspace setting

   InDesign 20.1, as well as pretty much every version since 2019 continually forget my WorkSpace setting, so that when I boot ID, it randomly thinks I'm new, and so it loads the annoying popups and product tours and the almost ubiquitous blue alert at the bottom helping me with saving my settings.

   Fix this.

10. InDesign crashes when updating review link

    InDesign Version: 20.1
    OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.1
    Device: MacBook Pro (14in 2021)
    Memory: 32G
    Chip: Apple M1 MAX

    I regularly update a large file. Any time I try to update the Share for Review link, InDesign crashes. In smaller files, I receive an error message saying, "There was an error updating the artifact." The link will successfully update, but not without crashing or errors.

14. Image Path Data Merge Is Ignored

    InDesign 19.4 for Mac (Sonoma 14.5)

    After the latest update, the data merge is not longer working properly for image files. While, in some cases, the paths to the images is correctly resolved and the images are embedded, the same data file that has worked earlier this year now creates an issue, so that images are not shown after data merge.

    Instead of using the path given in the data file, InDesign now searches for the images in the folder where the data file is, ignoring the path name in the data file.

    Moving the images into this folder works as a workaround. However, resolving image paths has worked correctly in previous versions, and I would love to have the old functionality back.

15. Reflowable EPUB3: "Page Navigation" export option adds a space inside hyphenated words at page breaks

    1. Version of InDesign: 19.4

    2. steps to reproduce

       • create a new InDesign file
       • add a text frame to the blank page
       • add enough text so some words are hyphenated at the page breaks for the next pages
       • export to epub3
       • enable "Page Navigation" on EPUB export

    3. Expected result
       Page navigation markers are added without interrupting the hyphenated words at the page breaks.

    4. Actual result

       When using the "Page Navigation" export option for reflowable EPUB exports, InDesign adds a <span> and </span> tag pair with a blank space character in the HTML export instead of simply dropping the soft hyphen that was present in the print layout.

       Result in the EPUBs XHTML:

       <p class="bodytext">Idel illandia suntusdae quoditint debitatissit quam quamus magnimus es quiaeper elor eper<span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"> </span>nat quo con re nimus?</p>

       Another example using English text (from the "Georgia" file in the EPUB3 samples project):

       In my file "georgia", the words "consists" and "headward" are both hyphenated by InDesign as "con-sists" and "head-ward" at the page breaks, but exported to EPUB as

       con<span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"> </span>sists

       and

       head<span id="page3" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="3" epub:type="pagebreak"> </span>ward</span>

       respectively, thus displaying as "con sists" and "head ward".

       I am confident that this is not an issue of readers / apps display the EPUB erroneously, as I tested my example files on a PC with Kindle Previewer 3.81, Adobe Digital Editions 4.5, Thorium 2.2.0, as well as on a Kindle Paperwhite via Send to Kindle, a tolino (popular brand of readers in Germany, both with Adobe RMSDK rendering engine and new Readium-based rendering engine), an iPad with Apple Books and a Pocketbook InkPad Color.

       The W3C recommendation for page break markers is not a pair of opening <span> and closing </span> tags, but a self-closing <span/> tag, e.g.

       <span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"/>

       which would look like this for the above examples:

       <p class="bodytext">Idel illandia suntusdae quoditint debitatissit quam quamus magnimus es quiaeper elor eper<span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"/>nat quo con re nimus?</p>

       con<span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"/>sists

       head<span id="page3" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="3" epub:type="pagebreak"/>ward</span>

       Personally, I'd think using a pair of <span> / </span> tags WITHOUT an additional space should work out, too, if you absolutely must use a tag pair for whatever reason.

       However, I would strongly urge you to change the implementation to conform to the W3C recommendation.

       Either way, the current behaviour creates errors on EPUB export which are not present in the indd source file - so please change this as soon as possible.

    5. Test files

       How am I supposed to supply a sample file if I am neither allowed to upload indd, idml, epub or zip files‽

       Since I raised this issue on the Community board first, please go there for the sample files: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/page-navigation-markers-for-epub-interrupt-hyphenated-words/m-p/14636220#M575090

17. Variable font sliders are laggy

    Variable font sliders are much less smooth in InDesign, compared to Illustrator. They are much laggier.

    Attached is a screen recording of the Acumin variable font being used in Illustrator (top) and InDesign (bottom).

18. InDesign resets window position set by Magnet utility on macOS

    In the current v19.4 (2024), when I use the common utility Magnet to resize the InDesign window (i.e. the Application Frame) to full screen, InDesign itself will reset the window position as soon as I ⌘-tab out of InDesign and return to it. No other app on my Mac does this, and it's very frustrating. Manual window size changes are honoured.

    There are other inconcistencies about InDesign's window positioning on macOS too — if it opens on my laptop screen, the application bar (above the control panel) appears under the menu bar and is almost invisible.

    Please fix.

20. Correct but wrong German translation for Review Panel

    The German translation for »Share for Review« is »Für Review freigeben«. I do not understand why you kept the »Review« in English, but that's not my point here and could be discussed somewhere else.

    There is the Review panel, which can be opened via Window > Comments > Review. In German it should be named »Review« as well, because you did not rename the functionality. Right?

    But, hey, the panels name ist »Überprüfen«. Correct translation, but inconsistent, as you might agree to me.

    So please, change »Überprüfen« to »Review« or change »Review« everywhere else to »Überprüfen«.
