1. Links within linked Indesign files appear pixellated even if the links are updated.

   Linked images within linked Indesign files appear pixelated, even if the links are updated. It's temporarily fixed by relinking the file – but it goes back to appearing pixelated when the file is reopened. This has only happened recently and has never been a problem in the past.

3. Identical shapes on different layers end up different sizes when scaled together using the selection tool

   1) This bug occurred on InDesign cc2017 and CS6. 2) Follow these steps to replicate the bug: create a shape, let's say a circle, and then copy this circle and paste it in a separate layer directly over the top of the first. To better see the effects of the bug, make the fill of the top circle red, and the bottom blue. At this point, the bottom blue circle is completely hidden by the red circle above it. Now put a 4pt stroke with an outside alignment on the bottom blue circle. The blue circle is still hidden, and now it appears as if the red circle on top has a stroke. Before making any changes to the shapes, make sure the Dimensions Include Stroke Weight and Adjust Stroke Weight when Scaling are DESELECTED in the Transform panel options. Make sure both the Info palette and the Transform palette are visible so you can read the starting and ending measurements in both palettes. Using the selection tool, select BOTH circles together, and then pull on any corner to enlarge the two shapes together. 3) EXPECTED RESULT: the two shapes should scale together. They start with the equal measurements in both the Info and Transform palettes, and once scaled, the shapes and the measurements should still read as being equal (albeit larger) sizes. 4) THE ACTUAL RESULT: the two shapes are different sizes after scaling. Remember that Dimensions Include Stroke Weight was deselected, so the stroke shouldn’t have any effect on the shape size, and yet, the bottom shape is slightly bigger than the top. Not only is the blue circle now clearly visible and peeking out from beneath the red circle, but the Info and Transform palettes read TWO different sizes. The following are images that illustrate the bug:

   One of the major usecases is still yet to be addressed.

4. Selecting object defining box appears only after leaving area

   Since 2025 installed and object or text box, once selected, does not show selected until mouse is moved away from selected area.

   This is not the case in 2024 application.

5. Unable to drag & drop images into Indesign 2021 Open File

   • Set-up a new document
   • Have added text and images as normal.
   • Command + D is successful when placing an image, however, drag & drop does nothing. No image shows in the thumbnail near the cursor either.

   This is an issue as it is much quicker to drag & drop than placing the images from different locations.

6. Big problems with Illustrator files in InDesign

   When I change something in a linked Illustrator file it doesn't update the image on the page in InDesign even though it's refreshed in the link tab.
   And today I saw that a part of an image was missing (a little bit was outside the image frame) in a pdf file. So I looked at the InDesign file, but it looked ok. Then I changed the image to show in high resolution and all of a sudden the page refreshed and the linked file was updated and was now showing the same error as in the pdf.
   So it seems like a file that I made in Illustrator and update something in, isn't updating on the screen in InDesign. It's been a problem for around a year now. Both me and my colleagues complain about this all the time. So I thought I should tell you. It's really annoying. So please make sure that the screen is also refreshing if I update a changed file. It used to do that, but something was changed a while ago.

7. Cannot place this file. Invalid PNG file

   In 15.0.3, my publication was print ready

   I updated to 15.1 as I normally would.

   In 15.1, particular .png files were missing. I tried to place the missing images as usual but got the error - Cannot place this file. Invalid PNG file'.

   I rolled back to 15.0.3 and am now able to place the self same files.

   Update bug?

9. Object Style Size and Frame Fitting bug

   Where is what I did:
   Create an Object style that has the size height and width set (I used 4x3in) AND the Frame Fitting Options set (I tried Fill Frame Proportionally with and without Auto-Fit). Import some photos. I did 4 at once and click-&-dragged them at different sizes. Frame size is correct, but frame fitting is ignored. It has to be applied manually after placement.

11. Placing an ICML file in an InDesign file ignores multiple artboards in AI files if they are embedded

    If you have an AI file with multiple artboards which is an embedded anchored object in a text frame it will always revert back to the first artboard when you place the ICML in InDesign.

    1. Create a new InDesign file.
    2. Create an AI file with two artboards and one simple object in each.
    3. Create a text frame in InDesign.
    4. Place the AI file in the text frame and choose the second artboard.
    5. Embed the AI file.
    6. Export the text frame as an ICML file.
    7. Place the ICML file into the document (not check in/check out).

    What happens:
    1. The "Pages" panel will show the correct preview.
    2. The "Links" panel will show the correct preview.
    3.. The text frame that is created will show the first artboard.

    Images:
    1. AI file with two artboards.
    2. Embedded image of artboard 2.
    3. After placing the ICML into the InDesign file it has reverted to display artboard 1, but the previews in the "Links" and "Pages" palettes are still correct.

    If you have an AI file with multiple artboards which is an embedded anchored object in a text frame it will always revert back to the first artboard when you place the ICML in InDesign.

12. Option + drag and shift to contstrain keys not working

    InDesign 16.0.2

    The usual function of holding the option key on mac and dragging an object to duplicate has stopped working. In the same way, clicking shift when moving an object or drawing a frame no longer constrains it's dimensions.

    Both of these features still work fine in Illustrator (25.1)

    The attached video show me trying to draw a square by holding shift when drawing a shape but it doesn't constrain the proportions as it should. It also shows me then trying to duplicate the shape by holding option (mac) and dragging. The cursor changes to suggest that it's working but the shape doesn't duplicate.

    This is a BIG problem for productivity as these functions are key to the way I work.

13. Open Asset Plugin window keeps opening up even though I keep shutting it. It continuously interrupts my flow.

    The Open Asset plugin for Indesign continuously pops up. I don't use it. I don't want to use it. I want it to stop popping up and interrupting my workflow. If I close the window, it should stay CLOSED.

15. Links from CC Library suddely missing and can't be relinked

    I sometimes have a problem with links from the CC Libraries, the links work fine when I save and close the file. But then sometimes when I open the INDD-file the day after it says that the links are missing, and when I try to relink it just say that "Either the file doesn't excist, you do not have read permissions to it or the file is used in another application".

    But none of the options in the dialog box are correct, the files in the library still works fine in other documents. I have no idea how to fix my indd-file without starting all over and as you can imagine, this is a big problem for me.

16. Object Layer Options not working using Photoshop files

    I've placed the same layered photoshop files into ID three times to show how an animation works. Going to 'Object Layer Options' and clicking 'Keep Visibility Layer Overrides' is meant to keep your selected layers visible, even if the Photoshop is resaved. This no longer works. Once the link updates, all three update to look the same and forget which layers i've told it to show. Why?

18. InDesign 16.3.2 on Mac: with GPU, won't render images in frames with a fill applied

    InDesign 2021 16.3.2
    macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G9323)
    MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
    MacBookPro10,1
    Intel Core i7, 2.7 GHz
    16 GB RAM
    Intel HD Graphics 4000 (1536 MB VRAM)
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (1 GB VRAM)

    ---

    With "GPU Performance" enabled (or with "GPU Preview" on) images will not render if the containing frame has a fill applied. Note: InDesign reports that a compatible GPU and monitor are detected. Also, it doesn't matter whether "Animated zoom" is enabled or not. See screenshots 1–3.

    With GPU Preview disabled (or with CPU Preview on) the images render correctly. See screenshots 4–5.

19. Viewing page with linked image causes file to be marked as dirty (needs saving)

    InDesign version: 15.1.1
    Additional versions tried: 15.0.3, 15.0, 14.0.3
    MacOS Mojave (10.14.6) on two different computers

    To reproduce:
    1. Create a new empty document.
    2. Add a second page to the document.
    3. Place Image, onto the page you're viewing (I did a PNG)
    4. Save and close the document.
    5. Open the document.
    6. Wait 2-20 seconds, doing nothing to change the document.

    Expected result: document opens to page with placed image, nothing else happens / changes.

    Actual result: document opens to page with placed image, and after a delay the document is marked as changed (asterisk appears in tab before the filename, InDesign prompts to save document when you close it)

    Additional detail: It seems to key off of viewing the page with the linked image, not just opening the file. If you save the document while viewing the page without the image, then when you re-open it (and see the imageless page) the file is not marked be as dirty even if you wait. However, if you then go to the page with the linked image (by clicking, scrolling, or command-J), shortly after you get there the file will be marked as dirty. (If you scroll, the key event seems to be hitting the boundary to the new page; the linked image does not need to actually be displayed.)

    Attempted fixes which did not resolve the problem:
    • Deleting my InDesign preferences (by holding down CTL-CMD-OPT-SHIFT during program startup)
    • Deleting my Cache

    InDesign version: 15.1.1
    Additional versions tried: 15.0.3, 15.0, 14.0.3

    To reproduce:
    1. Create a new empty document.
    2. Add a second page to the document.
