3. The lists of entries for a cross reference is not ordered

   Some panels with items (e.g. links) can be ordered by clicking the column header. Others cannot. Among these are the lists of references to choose from when inserting a cross-reference. These seem to be totally unordered. As a result, it is a pain to look for the right one (e.g. choose from a few hundred in a large document). I consider this a bug because other panels do have this ordering

4. (Ver. 20.5) When measuring with the Gap Tool, the measurement remains grayed out

   (Ver. 20.5) When measuring with the Gap Tool, the measurement remains grayed out and is very difficult to read, especially in dark mode. When measuring with another tool, e.g. the Measure Tool, the boxes with coordinates and measurements activate.

5. properties>fill panel expands off page

   Indesign Version 20.5 on OSX Tahoe

   When inDesign is at the top of the screen (i.e maximum screen size), opening the properties panel and then clicking on fill extends the fill sub menu up the screen, rendering half of the sub menu not visible unless you drag the whole application down. I don't think this is intended UI behaviour (hope not), and it's really frustrating to work with.

6. Display misalignment when dragging left and right.

   When using Adobe InDesign, I encounter a display glitch whenever I pan left and right by holding down the spacebar, resulting in visual artifacts as shown in the screenshot. The display returns to normal after zooming with the Alt key, but the issue consistently reappears upon panning again.

   I am running InDesign v20.5 (64-bit) on Windows 11.

7. placed .svg - can't double click to select the svg content

   Indesign 20.5, Windows 11, german

   settings, perhaps relevant to the bug:
   - is disabled: "highlight objects with selection tool"
   - Extras > "Content Selection Tool" disabled/enabled – makes no difference

   Context: you can double click pageItems with places images and vector graphics to move or scale the content.
   With a placed SVG i can NOT double click to get to the the transformable orange content borders.

   I am forced to use either the "direct selection tool" (white arrow), the content selection tool (focus ring), or the "select content" icon in the controlpanel.

   Can somebody confirm, please?

8. Indesign rimane incastrato negli angoli

   all'apertura del software, come si può notare in foto allegata, indesign rimane bloccato nell'angolo senza la possibilità di poterlo muovere in nessun modo, questo problema è presente ormai da diversi giorni e non riesco a capire come sistemare la situazione. Io uso il software per lavorare e facendo così non mi è permesso di continuare il mio lavoro. Ho provato ad disintallare e reinstallare, ma nulla.

10. InDesign window doesn't automatically scale when switching between laptop and an external monitor, and application screen goes blank

    This issue has been posted before, with no solution. Ever since one of the more recent updates to InDesign, the application window no longer automatically scales to fit the screen when connected to an external monitor and, when it's connected, the application window is blank—showing only the pasteboard color across the whole application window.
    So you have to hit the "+" to expand the app window to the full screen area, close the file window, and reopen the file in order to work again.
    Similarly, if you hit "Shift + W" to view Presentation Mode, the application window always re-acquires the window size from the laptop. So you have to hit "+" to expand it every time.
    These are bugs that never used to be a problem ... and they take tons of micro-minutes away from my standard workflow.
    These are really important issues to resolve. I'm surprised they have continued for so long ...

11. main artboard disappears when plugging in or unplug display (GPU Viewing Problem)

    I work with switching setups on my macbook, sometimes without an external screen, sometimes i move to my home office and plug in a bigger display.

    When indesign is opened and a file is opened, you cant do that without having to save and reopen the document. Because whenever you attach or detach a display - the main artboard / window with pages turns completely grey / invisble and you cant see anything anymore, but you can hover the elements.

    Switching to "Overprint Preview" brings back the visibility, switching it off makes the pages invisible again. Same with "Preview on CPU".
    So this seems to be a problem with the GPU Viewing.

    I use InDesign 20.4.1 but i have this happen since 1-2 years now. Before there was never a problem when switching displays / setups....

    Macbook Pro M1 16" 2021
    External Display: Alienware AW3423DWF 3440x1440

    Please check and fix - thank you very much!

12. spell check window opening partially off-screen InDesign 2025

    When I try to launch spell check it launches partially off-screen. I cannot use the spell check, resize it or even close it.
    
    I can close indesign and re-open and it closes the window. I have tried restarting the machine and opening it on an extended window but it still opens in the top left corner of my primary screen with the top half of the window off-screen.

13. Close/Minimize/Maximize buttons are hidden under the top menu on Mac OS

    For some reason the very top bar of the InDesign window is hidden underneath the top menu (File, Edit, etc.), making it impossible to minimize or move the window to another monitor. Currently the only solution I've found is to unplug my external monitor's HDMI cable from my Macbook which forces the InDesign window to appear properly.

14. When Application Frame is Turned Off, News Windows Size Behind GUI/Tools

    I'm one of the many users that doesn't like the Application Frame in either Illustrator or InDesign because I usually like to drag&drop things or switch between applications on my Mac as I work creatively.

    I hate that when a new window is generated (opening a file or creating a new one) it is sized beyond the size of my laptop screen and always BEHIND my docked tools in both Illustrator and InDesign software. Photoshop has the sense not to do this so whats going on with these other tools???

    I have to drag the new window over just to get to a corner and scale it back down to match my work environment every single time. Really frustrating and it seems like such an easy fix. Please, please let's do a little QA for UX and UI on these 2 important tools. I would truly appreciate that and so would a large number of your other user-base, I'm sure.

15. InDesign 20.4 Windows 11 Bug. UXP Plugin Panel and Dialog have incorrect behavior of html SELECT tag

    InDesign 20.4 Windows 11: After updating from version 20.3.1 to 20.4 UXP, the plugin, which worked fine in the previous version, now has problems with displaying dialogs and panels, namely:
    all SELECT tags on a panel are stopped responding to modification.
    Version 20.3.1 does not exhibit these problems; dialogs and panels display SELECT tags correctly and respond to user modifications.
    In version 20.4, SELECT tags respond only by changing the border color to blue; the list is not displayed at all. It is impossible to change the selected list item. In the dialog, this behavior is observed in all elements.
    Reinstalling version 20.4 did not solve the problem. The incorrect behavior of the application persists.
    Beta and release version 20.3.1: The plugin behaves normally.

16. palettes position in full screen

    when in full screen mode, in my particular workspace (which I like, hence why I use it) certain fly out menus don't know that I am in this mode and try to fly up without considering that they are 'off the screen'. So I tend to temporarily change the view mode, do my edit, and then put things back to full screen. Is this a bug? Shouldn't anything the pops open or 'flies out' know where the edge of my screen is, especially in full screen mode?

    I have attached a screenshot of this particular issue, when trying to adjust some strokes in the Appearance tab.

17. pasteboard color will not change at all

    pasteboard color will not change -- it stays dark gray. I want it light gray but it will not change to any color, much less light gray.

    Overprint preview is OFF.

    this bug exists in both indesign 2022 and indesign 2025 on Mac OS Sonoma 14.7.5 / dark mode
    5K intel iMac 24GB RAM.

    I don't use ID2025 because it is totally unusable on sonoma on intel iMac -- but tested it to see if the pasteboard color bug is there too and it is.

    definitely exists since recent sonoma and ID updates late 2024/2025.

18. Table controls are missing from Properties pane, and selection control lacks ToolTip

    I had mysterious, unselectable text in my document with multiple columns. It turned out to be a table, but this was not indicated anywhere in the UI. Not in the layer list or the Properties pane when the text frame was selected. Table properties are missing from the Properties pane even when you have the text-insertion point sitting in a table cell.

    A major contributor to the problem is that the tiny table-selection icon that appears on the left side of a table has no ToolTip, and does nothing when clicked or dragged. Only by guessing that you have to double-click it will you discover that this invokes row/column selection mode. And only then do table-related controls appear in the Properties pane.

    I would expect a ToolTip on the on-screen control, and I would expect table properties to appear in the Properties pane when you have the insertion point in the table.

19. Document dissapearing from view after screenlock

    Every time my screen goes to sleep or autolocks, when I open it back up the document I am working on disappears from view. I can see it is still there as there are a few frame outlines visible, and I am able to save it close it and reopen, then all is fine again but it is a very annoying issue as I have to do this multiple times per day.
