1. Documents appear blank after waking computer from sleep

   Anytime I leave documents open, and my computer goes to sleep (even display sleep), nothing is viewable until I close the file and reopen it. I had this problem previously, and in typical Adobe fashion it stopped and has recently come back. Incredibly annoying, and happens every time when documents are left open and the laptop goes to sleep. Seems to mostly happen when connected to a 2nd monitor.

   Indesign 20.5, Apple M1 Max, MacBook Pro, Sequoia 15.6.1

3. Restore “Next/Previous Window” shortcut functionality when Stage Manager is enabled

   When using InDesign 2025 on macOS Tahoe with Stage Manager enabled, the Next Window (⌘`) and **Previous Window** (⇧⌘`) shortcuts do not work. Even if the shortcuts are reassigned in Preferences, InDesign cannot cycle through open documents.

   What’s happening:
   Stage Manager collapses all InDesign document windows into a single OS-level container. macOS then reports that InDesign has only one window, so InDesign’s “Next/Previous Window” commands never cycle.

   Why this is critical:
   • Multi-document workflows are core to professional design.
   • Losing the ability to quickly flip between open documents slows production work significantly.
   • Competing macOS apps (Safari, Finder, Mail) handle this correctly with Stage Manager. InDesign should do the same.

   Requested behavior:
   When Stage Manager is active and macOS reports only one window, InDesign should treat the Next/Previous Window commands as a request to cycle open document tabs, not OS-level windows.

   This would restore expected functionality without requiring users to disable Stage Manager — and keep InDesign consistent with Apple’s own pro apps.

   Environment:
   • InDesign 2025 (latest build)
   • macOS Tahoe (latest release)
   • Issue persists after preference reset, shortcut reassignment, and clean install

4. 2-9% CPU usage when application is in background/minimized - happens on multiple computers

   2-9% CPU usage when application is in background/minimized. This happens on multiple computers. Older machines have seen up to 30% in IDLE. My newer PC runs 2-3% even with only one document open.

   This is unsustainable both for PC resource use, energy efficiency, and usability.

   There is no GOOD reason for this.

   It has been an issue for multiple years now. Please fix!

5. Data Merge panel doesn't import UTF-8 data when selecting "UTF-8" encoding option

   I’m using Adobe InDesign v. 20.5.0.48 on the macOS v. 15.6.1. I have a “merge.csv” data file encoded in UTF-8 that imports into the Data Merge panel when I select “ASCII” as the encoding but, unsurprisingly, doesn’t display some special characters correctly. When I select “UTF-8” as the encoding option, which should remedy this problem, the file fails to import!

6. When waking from sleep, screen turns black or magenta

   InDesign 20.5 (and previous versions). Apple Mac mini M1 2020, 16GB, Sequoia 15.6 (and previous iterations of the OS). Samsung UJ590 UHD Monitor.

   Not the first time this has happened but as I’m on the latest version of ID now it’s becoming increasingly frustrating.

   When waking from sleep, in GPU Preview, my entire screen is either black or magenta and I cannot see the components of my file. If I turn on Overprint Preview the assets can be seen. If I then switch back to GPU Preview, the screen changes back to black or magenta.

   I have to quit and re-open to be able to work again. It seems to me that it's a GPU Preview issue?

7. Preferences reset popup penalty

   When an existing user has been driven by degrading performance to the extreme step of resetting user preferences, please do not also make us undergo the maddening experience of dealing with the ENDLESS blue popups / tooltips / ads for the features we've already seen and considered. You could make an argument for forcing a user to deal with the blue boxes on a major upgrade. A preferences reset is not the same situation. Please consider reducing the burden of this type of visual pollution in our workspaces.

   Das Verschieben eines markierten Objektes wird erst angezeigt, wenn ich den Cursor aus dem Objekt herausbewege bzw. nach der Aktion wieder hineinbewege. (The moving of a marked object is only displayed when I move the cursor out of the object. The same backwards: I have to move the cursor back into the object and just then the movement is visible).

10. InDesign Beta (ARM64) The application was unable to start correctly(0xc0000142).

    I'm using the new Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon X Elite – ARM64). I installed Creative Cloud ARM64 and InDesign Beta via official channels.

    When I try to launch it, I get this error:

    pgsql
    Copy
    Edit
    The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)
    I’ve tried:

    Adobe Cleaner Tool

    ARM64 Creative Cloud installer

    Visual C++ redistributables (x64 and ARM64)

    DISM & SFC

    Compatibility mode + Admin rights

    Please help resolve this — it seems to be a bug in the current InDesign Beta ARM64 build.

11. Title: Restore Immediate Visibility of Resize Handles on Frame Selection Post

    In the latest InDesign updates, the resize handles (bounding box corners and sides) no longer appear immediately when selecting a text or graphic frame. They only show up after moving the cursor. This is a serious usability issue.

    Without visible handles, there's no clear feedback that the correct object has been selected—especially problematic when working with layered or overlapping elements. This change breaks long-standing workflow habits and slows down production.

    Please restore the previous behavior or at least add a preference toggle to always show resize handles immediately upon selection.

12. Text formatting is lost when copy and paste a text box on the same page or to another page in the same document

    Copy an paste text box, the text formatting is lost in the pasted text box. Reverts to Forte font. Also, cannot change the font in the pasted text box. The font reader will say it is the new chosen font, but the visual of the text is not reflecting the actual font chosen. Have to redraw and rewrite text every time to have the font and formatting desired.

14. InDesign changes my page size

    Whenever I set up a new document, say 11" X 8.5", auto-select landscape of course applies itself, and I move past that point in the New Document dialog box, InDesign changes my set document specs to whatever was previously selected for the last document size. Why?

    I then have to go back into the page size settings after opening the new document and correct it.

16. Creative Suite apps are INSANELY slow

    All Creative Cloud programs are insanely slow and lagging. It's nearly impossible to use 2 or 3 of them at the same time, and I need to restart my computer every hour to even be able to do some very basic tasks. The problem is happening in all programs, Indesign, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro ertc.
    This is happening on ALL computers I used in past years, and everything was up to date. It's not about 3rd party add-ons or resetting preferences, or any advice you offer.
    Some weeks ago I killed off all Adobe/CC background processes and everything worked perfect until the next time I restarted the computer. I tried to re-do this, but it doesn't help any more, or I can't remember what exactly I did.
    Obviously - it's some unoptimized background process or service causing it.
    I can see on forums that many other users have the same problem.
    You should take this seriously and finally fix it up. This is causing lots of problems and time is being wasted for millions of your users.

17. "Open Recent" broken in 20.4

    EDIT 2:

    I updated this post to say it was resolved after I removed some dell software which also fixed an issue I had with the Separations Preview panel. However, I forgot that I had reverted to 20.3 - after updating again to 20.4 this is still an issue.

    ---

    Original post:

    The Open Recent menu is not opening the file I click on but is opening a random file from the list.

    I thought this might be something to do with the new GPU performance feature but it happens with it disabled.

18. leave User Workspaces ALONE

    Leave User Workspaces ALONE!! Updates should automatically grab the current workspaces and copy them in, STOP trying to shove three versions of "essentials" down our throats. Not all of us have admin access, so deleting after every update isnt an option. It also stops non-admin users from migrating manually. To say this is frustrating would be an understatement.

    "Essentials" is TRASH, but every **** update removes any custom ones I have (YES even if I choose migrate, it doesnt do anything so I stopped bothering) and force it into "Essentials". Just STOP. You DO NOT know our workspaces better than us. This shouldnt be difficult, but Adobe has been doing this for years, and now InDesign 2025 has THREE different Essentials? Thats missing the point entirely and then congratulating yourself for it.

20. [ID-4264855] Issue with Animated Zoom in GPU

    New PC GPU zoom doesn't seem to centre the zoom on the cursor leading to not super useful behaviour (you have to zoom and then drag with the hand tool to get back to what you were originally trying to zoom into). It's very disorientating.
