stroke window - drop down menu options
Indesign 20.5
In the stroke window there is functionality issue in the drop down menus - 'type' and 'start/end' for arrows etc. The drop down menu does not stay open to select an option. Very annoying and can't add arrows to lines. Also noticing the issue is in the toolbar as well for strokes.1 vote -

Change Format selection for "Change Case" disappears after altering Find Format
Indesign 2025
When searching for a style for which I want to perform a change case operation, it works fine. If I then want to change the style that I'm searching for, when I confirm that change and return to the main window of find/replace, the parameters for the "change format" window get wiped out...I believe this only happens with change case. I tested this by changing the case in the Basic formats to "all caps". I found that if I used any other parameter, or any other parameter in conjunction with the new "change case"...the "Change Format" parameters remained...but…1 vote -
URGENT: Add an "Empty Output" Option for Text Variables
Currently, InDesign text variables (e.g., Running Headers) always display the last non-empty value when the source is empty. While this behavior can be useful in some workflows, it causes major problems in others. In publishing and educational workflows, having an “empty” variable output display the previous value is unacceptable.
We urgently need a way to explicitly tell InDesign: “If the source is empty, display nothing (truly empty).”
Proposed Solutions:
- Introduce a new special character (e.g., “Null Variable Marker”) that, when placed in the source text, forces the variable to render as empty.
- Alternatively, provide an option in the…1 vote -
Critical Request: Disable Mandatory “Save As New Document” Behavior in Latest InDesign Versions
Dear Adobe InDesign Team,
Since the introduction of the most recent InDesign update (version 19.x and onward), our team has experienced a disruptive new behavior: InDesign frequently requires us to save working documents under a new name, even when opening files that have not changed location, permissions, or ownership.
This behavior appears arbitrary and is not user-configurable. It breaks a long-standing professional workflow and creates significant confusion due to the unnecessary proliferation of duplicate file versions. As a result, our team faces increased risk of:
• Publishing or sending incorrect versions of documents to clients
• Compromising file version control…1 vote -

dialogs dont appear infront of main app window - appear behind it would seem
The dialog boxes don't appear when expected, (I think they are behind the main viewing window of the app) until i do a 'mission control' on the trackpad and then release it - then the dialog box appears. It's not handy at all and I only found out by accident as the box can sometimes appear on the laptop screen and not the secondary bigger screen i use.

Button Action 'Go back to previous VIEW' not working
I use Adobe InDesign 20.3x64 2025 version
I tried creating the interactive button in the Parent, in the normal pages, did all the troubleshoot tips I found, i.e. view the PDF file in Acrobat, ensured there is no special character in the file name, that I export correctly, deleted InDesign preferences.... I can't make the button work.

panels
For the past few days, the InDesign panel frame has been showing up but the content is empty. Only certain panels (alignment) are not visible. It doesn't show up even if I reset it.

InDesign version 20.4.1: The Y coordinates for lines are the same with the top edge and the bottom.
See attached video. I'm also having trouble updating Creative Cloud despite following every recommended fix, including repair. It won't let me delete it unless I also delete every Adobe product. VERY frustrating.

Feature request: Link text in body and footnote Please add a function to link a word or phrase in the main text to a word or phrase in a fo
Dear Adobe InDesign team, I would like to request a new feature for Adobe InDesign: the ability to link a word or phrase in the main (body) text with a corresponding word or phrase in a footnote (or another text frame), so that if the main text moves to another page, the linked text in the footnote will also automatically move together. This feature is very important for professional publishing workflows, especially for complex academic, multilingual, and religious books. For example, in Islamic or scholarly works, it is critical that a term in the main text and its explanation in…

Restore Command + Resize and Command + Space Zoom Behavior in InDesign
In recent versions of InDesign, two essential shortcuts have been broken or changed:
Command + Drag on a frame no longer resizes the content inside the frame as it used to — or it behaves inconsistently.
Command + Space no longer reliably brings up the zoom tool that allows click-dragging to zoom into a selected area.
These shortcuts were core to efficient, professional workflows for years. Removing or altering them without an option to restore the original behavior is disruptive. Designers rely on muscle memory and speed — this feels like a step backward.Please restore the legacy behaviors or…
