   I use CC 2017, but of course have seen this issue in other versions, Mac, and PC. When typing in a search term, like search term, the letters I type in show up backward, if at all, so mret chraes... which of course makes searching impossible. I can close the program, close the dialog box, and it still keeps coming up. It's so frustrating when you have 1000s of pages and need to find multiple words in between to keep opening/closing/shutting down

   To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

   We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding : Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

   We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2020.0.1 (if you’re not already on it). It contains a lot of stability fixes.

   If you still face this issue even after updating to the latest version of InDesign, please submit the crash report to us. (The guidelines to submit crash are available at (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html)

4. Data Merge causes crash/lock-up when displaying panels on second screen

   When displaying my panels on a second monitor using InDesign and then trying to begin a data merge the application crashes and becomes unresponsive.

   If I change the layout of the panels to one screen (the default layout) it works fine.

   I've uninstalled InDesign and reinstalled, also deleting my preferences folders/files.

   I can select the data source and insert one field, but then clicking on anything else after the first field has been inserted causes the application to stop responding.

   I've attached a screenshot of the panels on the second screen for your reference - there are no panels on the primary screen.

5. On the Radar? New character for uppercase "ß" in germany – dont forget to be able to disable auto-"ß" into SS…

   If I use shift+"ß", InDesign changes to "SS" – so far so good. But that got revised 29.7.2017. I hope thats on InD's radar.

   "Anfang 2008 wurde das große ß als neues Zeichen in den internationalen Standard Unicode für Computerzeichensätze aufgenommen, am 24. Juni 2008 trat die entsprechende Ergänzung der Norm ISO/IEC 10646 in Kraft.[1] Seit dem 29. Juni 2017 ist das ẞ Bestandteil der amtlichen deutschen Rechtschreibung.[2][3]"

7. InDesign freezing when pressing backspace in a text box of more than 500 or 600 words

   This only seems to be a problem when using long text boxes more than a few hundred words. InDesign starts to slow down while I'm typing, but if I then select text or press backspace (mostly the latter) then InDesign freezes for 10 to 15 seconds.

   I've searched the problem, but the only solution I have found is to try closing the info panel, but this seems to be a CS3 fix and doesn't work.

8. CC Files in InDesign not showing up

   I shared files using CC Files for teams using my work account, and the sync with my account on my home computer in the user folder/creative cloud files, however they don't show up in the START workspace when I launch InDesign. How do I get these files to show up in the application?

9. The order of Arabic digits is reversed when changing their character direction

   1. Adobe InDesign CC 2017.1
   2. Create a textbox, type Arabic characters including some digits. Change character direction from 'Default' to 'Right to Left'.
   3. Arabic letters are RTL, but Arabic digits are written LTR; So when you change character direction to RTL, they should be in their right direction.
   4. Letters are RTL, but digits are reversed. The problem is that Arabic script is written RTL, but its digits' direction is LTR. Just like when you move caret and logically it moves in correct direction.

11. Hyperlinks

    I use a lot of hyperlinks in a document which link to the individual products on our website for online ordering and stock levels.

    The Hyperlink panel frequently corrupts - I lose the ‘traffic light’ link status indicator and location of the link (page No.) - meaning I have to remove InDesign and execute a clean install to get the feature back.

13. Pages panel not scrolling to allow all pages to be accessible

    InDesign v21.3 (Updated last week, no issues until today. Daily use)

    This morning when I opened InDesign, I discovered I was unable to scroll and select the last page of the document. The top half of the last page is visible through the bottom bar of the panel where the number of pages is displayed but unclickable. This prevents a change of parent page style, addition of pages in the correct parent style or the selection to override the parent page style.

    I have tried resetting my workspace, restarting Indesign and changing panel views. The bottom row remains elusive.

14. Wheel of death when placing images

    Lately, the spinning wheel has been appearing, especially when I place a photo via drag-and-drop, but also when I use the "Place" command from the menu. When the spinning wheel appears (and stays there), I can close or save the document, but the undo/redo functions no longer work, other functions work limited. After closing all documents, I have to force-quit the application; otherwise, InDesign won’t close. When I reopen it, sometimes it loads previously closed documents with recovery, even though I closed them myself. The "CPU Preview / Preflight Off" mode doesn’t work. I work with local documents (I don’t use CC Libraries, etc.).
    Windows 11 - InDesign 21.3.x64; this issue has been present since v21.0
    GeForce 4070TI GPU (up-to-date Studio Drivers), Intel motherboard platform.

15. 21.2 Acting Strange

    I updated to 21.2 and ever since then, I have had these things happen:
    1. Freezes (beach ball spinning)
    2. Unable to "undo" (the undo is greyed out and Indesign seems to have no memory of the last event
    3. Icons get stuck. When I change tools, it still is showing the magnifying glass tool not the selection or type tool. But I acts like that tool is active (so can type text, but shows magnifying glass icon)
    4. Is crashing A LOT! And it has been years since I have had any issues with Indeisgn crashing.

    Anyone know what is goin on? I updated my OS and also tried numerous restarts and reboots. I am on a MacBook Pro running Taho 26.4

16. AI content labelling

    Hi, I just opened indesign to see my own work labelled as AI generated. I haven't used any AI tools to produce any of my data, yet it appears as such in many instances. Are these metadata stores upon export too? How is Adobe going to address this? This basically robs me of my copyrights. Would appreciate if this was only toggle on/off feature, and not the default.
    Cheers,
    Tomas

19. Installing InDesign 20.5.2 caused the system to make it the default version, replacing 21.2.0 as the default app for opening InDesign files

    When I double-click the file I have been working on, I get an error message that says it couldn't be opened because it was created by a newer version of InDesign. It calls out 21.2 as the offender. If I look at the recent updates for Creative Cloud, it looks like 21.2 was updated 19 days ago, and 20.5.2 was updated 13 days ago. It looks like the association for which app to open .indd files was changed with the 20.5.2 update, and it no longer opens the latest version of the product. I can open 21.2 manually, but I can't just click on the file and have it open correctly. Your right hand doesn't know what the left is doing! Please send another update for the 21.2 (or later dot number) to correct this.

20. [ID-4277180]InDesign v21.2.0.030 crashes on quit in SubProcess

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
    Adobe InDesign 2026, Version 21.2.0.30 (Build 21200)
    Running on macOS 26.2 (25C56) on Apple Silicon (Mac14,2, 16 GB RAM)
    Steps to reproduce the issue
    1. Launch Adobe InDesign 2026.
    2. Open any document (or create a new blank document).
    3. Work normally for a while, or even do nothing.
    4. Choose “InDesign > Quit InDesign” or press Cmd+Q.
    5. Confirm quitting if prompted.
    Expected result
    InDesign quits cleanly without any error message and returns to the macOS desktop.
    Actual result
    • InDesign crashes on quit every time.
    • macOS shows a crash dialog stating that “Adobe InDesign 2026 quit unexpectedly” (or similar wording).
    • The macOS crash report shows:
    • Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
    • Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 6, “Abort trap: 6”
    • Crash is triggered in Thread 10.
    • This happens even after:
    • Resetting InDesign preferences on launch.
    • Deleting InDesign caches and preference folders in the user Library.
    • Completely uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign via Creative Cloud.
    • Testing in a brand-new macOS user account.
    Additional context
    • The same InDesign version (21.2.0.30) on my previous Mac and macOS version did not show this problem; the issue started only after migrating to the new Mac (same InDesign version, newer macOS).
    • No third‑party plug‑ins are installed (or all third‑party plug‑ins have been removed for testing).
    • The crash occurs regardless of which document is open; even a new, empty document triggers the crash on quit.

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
    Adobe InDesign 2026, Version 21.2.0.30 (Build 21200)
    Running on macOS 26.2 (25C56) on Apple Silicon (Mac14,2, 16 GB RAM)
    Steps to reproduce the issue
    1. Launch Adobe InDesign 2026.
    2. Open any document (or create a new blank document).
    3. Work normally for a while, or even do nothing.
    4. Choose “InDesign > Quit InDesign” or press Cmd+Q.
