1. Facing-page layouts always have one un-editable page

   If you set up facing master pages with a text frame on each, you can only set the text frame as "primary" on one of the pages. That means every other page you create from the master will be un-editable. This defeats much of the purpose of a master page, and provides no benefit.

   The only semi-workaround is to connect the two frames, but this is not always acceptable. Sometimes it is necessary to keep the stories separate.

3. "send form" doesn't work

   I made an interactive form with several "necessary" fields and a "send form" button. When I tried to "send" the form without filling in the necessary fields, acrobat reminds me that not all required fields are filled in. Positive, that's how it should work. BUT- when all fields are filled in and one tries the "send form" button, nothing happens. File is not send...... Please advise, because the "necessary fields / required information" is not asked after if the file can't be send by this button....

5. History panel logs issues

   The history panel does not allow some actions to be undone. One is the act of stepping back several steps. As long as no new actions are done, you can step forward again, but as soon as you complete a new action, the inbetween steps disappear. The undo/redo history is also cleared; only new actions completed after that point can be undone. This is a problem because is makes it impossible to test various options and then quickly return to the original option, as I have often done in the past. Instead, the desired option must be set up again from scratch. (tested in v. 20.1, but also caused issues in older versions)

   • Actions logged appear to update/condense/disappear when switching to and from the Type tool. For example, if I create a text frame, enter some text, and then apply a stroke, the “Create text frame” option is no longer visible in the history panel, nor can it be undone with undo. If I create a 2nd text frame, all the previous steps for the first text frame disappear. Because “open” remains as the first action, it appears as if no other new actions were completed, but this is entirely false. Losing the ability to undo one’s actions is a serious hindrance. Undo history should not be cleared until the document is closed. I have also noticed there is sometimes a significant lag when switching to and from the text tool, and I suspect it has something to do with this. (tested in v. 20.1, did not notice before)

   • Many actions logged are too vague to identify, especially when multiple instances of the same action occur. It would be ideal if, instead of “Typing,” one would see “Typing 123…” Link updates could include a right click option to jump to the affected link. Alternately, selecting a step could select the affected text or object, or a page number could be made visible in the panel. It would also be helpful to save a thumbnail at certain points. (in all versions I have used, current version is 20.1)

6. Mauvais format de page

   Quand le format de page sera respecté ?
   Lorsque tu crées une page, le format n'est pas respecté.
   Par exemple :
   Si je créée une page au format 480 x 60 (par exemple…c'est la même chose avec un autre format), Indesign affiche une page au format A4.
   C'est à chaque fois la même chose lorsque l'on crée un format spécifique !!!

7. Unable to select multiple objects when hidden spreads are in document

   InDesign version: 20.1

   There seems to be a bug that occurs when there are hidden spreads in the document, where you cannot click and drag to select items on a visible spread. Also when you copy content from one spread to another it doesn't transfer to the current selected page. See below for my experience:

   Steps to reproduce issue (part 1):
   1. create a document with multiple pages (e.g., 26 pages).
   2. Hide some spreads throughout document. (e.g., page 1, page 5, pages 20-23, etc).
   3. Attempt to select multiple objects by clicking and dragging.

   Expected result: objects selected!
   Actual result: nothing selected! (Note, individual objects can be selected one at a time by pressing shift+click, or everything on the page can be selected by pressing Cmd+A. It is only click and drag to select that doesn't work).

   Steps to reproduce issue (part 2):
   4. Attempt to copy content from one page to another by pressing Shift+Cmd+Alt+V.

   Expected result: Content copies onto the current selected page into the exact location as source page.
   Actual result: Content copies onto a completely different page.

   SOLUTION - Move all hidden pages to end of document. Then selection and copy/paste will work as expected.

9. Elements disappear when two different templates are opposite each other on a double page (indesign 2024 - 19.5.1)

   When you apply two different templates on a double page, some elements of the template disappear. This bug is not systematic, but has come back regularly for years.
   This happens when a parent template and a child template are on a facing page (see screenshot).

   Lorsqu'on applique deux gabarits différents sur une double page certains éléments du gabarit disparaissent. Ce bug n'est pas systématique, mais revient régulièrement depuis des années.
   Cela se produit lorsqu'un gabarit mère et un gabarit enfant se trouvent sur une page en vis à vis (voir capture d'écran).

10. TOC Generation or Update Crashes InDesign 2025

    macOS 15.2, InDesign 20.0.1

    When I generate or update a TOC there is a roughly 7 in 10 chance InDesign 2025 will crash. This happens with multiple documents and has been happening consistently with every document since the release of 20.0 in October.

    • I initially thought it was because I was using ID '25 on macOS Ventura, but it's still happening with existing and new documents since updating my Mac to Sequoia.
    • Additionally, the same files moved to other computers (Windows 10, for example) also crash there when generating, updating TOCs.
    • Happens whether the documents in question are standalone or booked, with or without other TOCs in same document, with and without other documents opened.
    • No problems with ID '22, '23, or '24 on the same computer, with the same content in new documents or with the pre-existing documents that had pre-25 file versions.
    • Happens with vanilla, plain text headings (no GREP styles, no Xrefs, no text variables).

    I had hoped that all those literally more than 100 automatic bug reports would have had Adobe fix the problem or reach out to me for info, but no. My own troubleshooting hasn't turned up the culprit, so I'm asking the community for help.

    It literally took me a (work) week to generate the table of contents for InDesign Masterclass: Type & Tables: 2025 Edition (and actually delayed the publication of that book by more than a week) because InDesign crashed every single time, hour after hour, of trying to generate  the TOC for the INDB book of 12 INDDs. If I hadn't needed to teach MathML in the book, I wouldn't have used InDesign 2025 at all, and would have reverted to '24.

    For InDesign Masterclass: Text Techniques book I lost ALMOST a week with the same crashing. In the end, I built the table of contents by hand, line by line, hyperlink by hyperlink, instead of using InDesign's built-in TOC feature.

11. Searching and finding overset text no longer changes to the page this text is on

    In InDesign 2024, you can search for text that happens to be overset (outside a text box). When you press find next, the page changes to the location of this text box with the matching overset text.

    In InDesign 2025 version 20.01, you can search for overset text (outside the text box). The page will not change if the matching text is overset.

    Being able to search for text that is inside an overset text box, and knowing what page it is on, is an important function. Can we get this back? Seems like a simple fix.

12. Files Open with Guides Hidden

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server: InDesign 2025 (20.0.1)
    Steps to reproduce the issues: Create new INDD file or open existing INDD or INDT file
    Expected result: Opened file shows guides
    Actual result: Opened file does not show guides

    Opening any new or existing file in InDesign 2025 opens the file with guides turned off. Opening the same existing files in InDesign 2024 opens the file with guides turned on.

15. [ID-4255870] Document Fonts available even if not active

    Working on an indesign document that has its own “Document Fonts” folder that contains fonts specific to that document (not activated anywhere else), then switching to a new document that does not have any “Document Fonts” folder, the fonts of the previous document are still available, but if I close indesign completely and then reopen the new document the fonts are no longer available.

    This is not correct, fonts that are not activated or not present in the “Document Fonts” folder specific to that document, should not be available for other documents that do not reside in the same folder.

    The old version of indesign (19.5) didn't do this.

    Furthermore, if you export a PDF of a document that contains a non-activated font, but which is displayed correctly due to the above, in the generated PDF the font will be replaced by a system font (Minion Pro, Times, etc.)

16. View on open document fades to pure grey (i.e. the chosen background color)

    Happens frequently, mostly after some actions just after the opening of the app. See attached screenshot with applied "select all" command to show something.
    Temporary solution: Reopen document. But that is still irritating for a mature application.

17. Black block

    Instead of text there are these black rectangles - only on parts of it. When I placed the text it was ok, but then it randomly switched to this. It still somehow detects text there but I cannot see it. I converted the doc to the previous Indesign version but the issue is still here.

18. [ID-4253057]Autonumbering in Hide Spreads is not working for Text Variables -> Insert Variable -> Last Page Number

    Text variable "Last page number" does not update with Hide Spread.

    With the newest update hiding spreads works automatically updates the pagination. This does not however change the "Last page number" variable. I often use this for screen presentations to display page X/X.

    This seems like a simple oversight in the update, but would be nice to have fixed.
