1. Keyboard Shortcuts don't work after opening from Bridge with only one InDesign file open

   Very specific bug this but as Bridge sits at the centre of my workflow it affects every file I open!

   Steps to reproduce:
   1) Open InDesign
   2) Open a file from Bridge - right click, open or double click (keyboard shortcuts work fine the first time!)
   3) Close file in InDesign
   4) Open a file from Bridge as above

   Now most keyboard shortcuts - eg. Place: ctrl-D - won't work. Holding space gives you the temporary hand tool but that's about it. You have to hit alt-tab twice to get back to normal shortcuts working.

   If you open another file in the same way, shortcuts seem to work again.

   If you open from File Explorer they work as expected.

   If you open from the recent files thumbnails inside InDesign they seem to work fine.

   If you drag from Bridge, focus seems to stay on Bridge - keyboard shortcuts affect it instead. But that doesn't seem to be what's happening with the open command here... the shortcuts just seem to disappear into the ether!

   System:
   + Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 22H2 / Ryzen 9700x / 64GB / RTX 4800 Super / 990 Pro / Wacom PTH-851 - latest drivers/firmware for everything.
   + InDesign 20.1 but it's long standing behaviour - been like this through as many point releases / versions of Windows 10 as I can remember.

2. Project goes blank

   I've been using the new Indesign 20.0 and it will often go blank to a completely grey screen in the working area. I can see the toolbar, and even the image gizmo but none of the actual content. I tried switching preview modes and to presentation mode and nothing works besides just quitting out and opening it back up. It seems to happen when it's been in the background for a while and I switch back to it. It's extremely frustrating. I'm on a Macbook Pro M3 maxed out specs on Mac OS Sequia 15.0.1 (24A348).

   This may be related but even when the content is visible and I'm trying to re-position my images in their frames I can't see the box outline or handles. Whats odd is when the content goes blank I can see the image outline and handles. Not sure if the box/handle color is blending in with my background or what is going on, I just have to hover my mouse and guess where an edge is. That is a constant issue. I had tried to see if i could change the color of the box/handles but it doesn't seem so. Also very frustrating.

3. curser blink affecting whole screen

   Not an idea, however when the curser blinks, it's affecting the whole screen - very subtle, but on larger monitors is extremely noticeable.

4. InDesign 20.1 Save & SaveAs opens files in last used folder, not containing folder

I have the manually find the folder I'm working from every time. This has been an issue since upgrading to this machine. I have a lot of weird bugs on this machine w/ Adobe Products...

5. Layers Panel Active Layer not active and not scrolled to in the panel when switching back to a document

   In Adobe InDesign, when switching between open documents, the Layers Panel Active Layer is not active (highlighted) and not on screen (due to the layers list scrolling all the way to the top) for my document which has many layers.
   Every time I switch back to the document (with many layers) I have to use the Layers Panel scroll bar to try and find the active layer again. This is very tedious.

7. color menu at the top of the window doesn't stick

   When I try and click the colour selector at the top of the screen it doesn't do anything, or the palette flashes for a second and then disappears. InDesign version 20.1, MacOS Sonoma 14.7.2. Sometimes when I click it the computer jumps to a different app. Once or twice the app has crashed.

9. Diacritic Positioning on English Fonts

   We currently need to use Diacritic positioning on english fonts and in the 2025 version this isn't supported. So you could technically set the Diacritic position, but it's not showing the result on the document. However, this still works only on middle eastern fonts like Hebrew.

   This worked perfectly fine in the 2020 version for english fonts as well as middle eastern fonts. After the update to the 2025 version, the Diacritic positioning support for english fonts isn't working.

   We attached two pictures from the 2020 version where this is working, and the same document from the 2025 version where the feature isn't supported - again you can set the position but this isn't reflected in the document.

   Steps to reproduce: Select an english font (For example: Adobe Garamond Pro). Try to add a diacritic mark on a letter. Now try to position the mark with Diacritic positioning - this will not be reflected in the document.

   Expected result: Diacritic positioning should work in english fonts, like it worked in previous InDesign versions.

   Actual result: Can set up Diacritic position, but it does not actually position the sign relative to the letter but stays in place.

10. 20.1 won't open some files.. just spins.

    20.1 InDesign won't open some files. Also slow beachballs. v19.5.2 won't show images. I need to go back to 19.5.1 and stay there forever I guess.

    Edit: Update: Downgraded back to 19.5.1. Everything is working perfectly. Thanks Adobe for allowing very easy downgrades. EXCELLENT.

12. Logitech mouse zoom in/out not working

    I am on a Mac (Sequoia) using Adobe InDesign (20.1) with a Logitech MX Master 3 (and Logi Options+ version 1.85.655119). For years, I've been able to use the thumb wheel of my mouse to zoom in and out (assigned in Logi Options+), but for some reason in the past month or so, this functionality stopped working. I've uninstalled/reinstalled Adobe + Logi apps, ensured firmware is current, etc. This is a major workflow efficiency killer — would love to see it resolved.

13. incopy

    I am using InCopy v. 20.0 with DropBox. When I open a document, changes that other teammates have made to items in the Assignments panel have not automatically updated like they used to. This is a new issue with the most recent update. Prior to the update, when I opened a file, any changes by myself or other people have updated automatically, but now I have to manually update each one in the Assignments panel. Is there a fix or a setting change that can address this?

14. Screen tearing while scrolling

    I'm having issues with screen tearing in InDesign 2023 and 2024. I've tried resizing UI, testing an earlier version of InDesign (hence 2023), making sure my computer was set to best performance over battery saver, etc. Inevitably when I scroll around, lines of text will jump around or break. I'm operating a brand new windows 11 computer with 16gb of RAM, and this is a two page InDesign document with one image, so...

16. Application Frame Sticks to One External Monitor and Fails to Move Between Monitors (Windows 11)

    I am experiencing an issue with a user where the application frame is stuck on a specific external monitor. When I attempt to drag the window to another external monitor, it automatically reverts to its original position on the main monitor. I can minimize and drag the corners to adjust size of window but cannot move it over to other monitors. This behavior occurs across multiple workstations, and I have already attempted the following troubleshooting steps:

    Ensured that all software is fully updated.
    Restarted the device multiple times.
    Adjusted the resolution settings and reinstalled display drivers.
    Removed and reconnected external monitors.
    Resetting preferences
    Checking required system requirements

    Despite these efforts, the issue persists.

    I would appreciate any further assistance or insight into resolving this problem.

17. Certain dialogue boxes appear partially off screen and can't be moved back on screen

    Certain dialogue boxes appear partially off screen and can't be moved back on screen. For example, the Find/Change dialogue box and the Export dialogue box [specifically export to PDF (Print)] have both become almost unusable for me because important sections of those two boxes are located off screen. See attached screenshots. Dialogue boxes that allow you to expand them by clicking and dragging the edges/corners of the box are less of an issue - they often appear partially off screen, but once they're expanded at all, the whole dialogue box pops back into view. The Find/Change and Export dialogues do not allow this kind of expansion so that trick does not work for them. I've tried all the fixes that I've seen suggested for this issue online, including restarting my computer and changing the resolution of my displays, but none have worked. I've even updated to Windows 11 and that didn't fix it. I am using InDesign 2024 version 19.5 on Creative Cloud Desktop. There are currently no updates available for InDesign.

18. CEP HTML Engine

    In Task Manager, "CEP HTML Engine" spawns a couple dozen instances--is that the cause of numerous crashes? We just installed InDesign (and CC) 2024 (v. 19.5.1) for testing on both Windows 10 and 11 Enterprise. InDesign is hanging when I do basic tasks: copy & paste, move a graphic frame, delete a paragraph. The only way to recover is by ending the task in Task Manager. These issues are happening on multiple PCs, and different files. Does Adobe do any testing with CC on Windows?

19. embeded Illustrator documents in InDesign looses page information, after being used in library

    We have following situation:
    InDesign library with an embeded Illustrator document. this document has pages (used for different icons). I have placed page 3 of the Illustrator file in as InDesign document. I place the element in an library in InDesign.
    I place the same object from the library in the document. The Element looses the pageinformation. the preview is still correct, but when i export an PDF it collects the information from the illustrator file again and it has an other icon in its place…

    So it is a massive problem of missmanaging elements and creates Errors in production! Please fix ASAP!

    Setup:
    MACOS 14.6.1
