1. History Window

   Using the hotkeys Command > Z to undo constantly brings up a tour of the History window. Don't want to use it or I would already and am really over it telling me to. Please how do I stop the prompt?

2. "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.

3. Unable to Move Objects

   After selecting and trying to move any object or text frame, the selected object will jump to the left and down from the cursor; making the usage of InDesign extremely difficult.

4. "Feedback Menu" is Blocking

   The Feedback Menu appears to be programmed to be thread blocking - while it is active, users are unable to drag and drop images into their canvas. On closing the feedback menu "how likely are you to recommend indesign...", the images that the user has attempted to drag and drop into the canvas are populated. This can be confusing if the feedback menu is minimized or not apparently open to the user.

5. History panel erases undo option and history steps (behavior different from previous version) and

   The history panel seems to be limited to 5 actions. Additionally, with the latest update (20.2), if you access the history panel at all, it overtakes the Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z function for undo/redo as it has worked in the past.

   When the history panel is opened, it selects the most recent action. Even if the panel is closed, whatever is done after this point erases all the other actions, so that you are left with "open" as the previous step. Edit>Undo (Ctrl+Z) is disabled, and you can no longer undo work.

   Additionally, steps will sometimes combine themselves without any user action. (i.e. while documenting this, in between image 3-4 no action was taken except to switch between InDesign and the screen capture program). Switching in/out of InDesign erases the ability to undo work.

   If you type 6-7 characters, you can no longer undo anything prior to that. Open the history window, select a step, then place something.... undo is now limited to the place action; all other history steps are erased (as well as Ctrl+Z undo/redo steps).

   This is a huge step in the wrong direction.

   There are seemingly no settings related to history (unlike in Photoshop where a number of steps can be preserved). Iteration/layout experimentation is critical in InDesign and this update removes the ability to do that without incessantly creating a snapshot every time you do something or type more than a few characters.

6. Indesign is freezes when a window opens.

   Using Indesign Version 20.3.1, Whenever I open any pop up menu (e.g. paragraph styles, text frame options, Export window), Indesign will freeze and I get the spinning wheel on my Mac running macOS 15.4.1.

   It happens maybe 1 in 3 times and I have to force quit indesign and reopen.

   I have tried Resetting settings and preferences
   Uninstalled and re-installed Indesign (this helped for about a week) then it started again.

   I've never had this happen before and now it is driving me insane.

7. InDesign Help redirects to Adobe Tutorials Webpage Instead of Showing Tool Location in Menus

   I use InDesign a lot, but I don't always remember the location of EVERY tool. Sometimes I just forget the submenu it's in, and go to the search bar so it will show me where the tool is in the program. For some reason, in InDesign ONLY, it will instead redirect me to the Adobe Tutorials website. Often it doesn't even have a tutorial for what I'm looking for, or it takes me to a completely unrelated tutorial.

   This means I either have to read through the whole tutorial and hope that there is an image of the submenu with the tool I need, or I have to google it and find another tutorial. Or, I can go through every menu and submenu one by one in indesign. Even though I have used this program for years my ADHD means I will often forget exactly where a tool is even though I use it a lot. And it's a huge, HUGE disruption because instead of instantly finding the tool, it takes me 5-15 minutes to find something that wouldn't even be an issue in any other program.

   I am NOT on MacOS, so the language/region issue does not solve it for me. I'm on Windows 11. I am so, so frustrated that this small, weird bug/glitch/choice is SUCH a huge interruption and it hasn't been fixed FOR YEARS.

9. Invisible toolbox

   When opening an existing file (by clicking on the file before opening Indesign), the toolbox on the left appears as an invisible rectangle. It only works properly if the file is closed and reopened from InDesign.

10. Stop screwing with my workspace settings

    How about app settings like Preferences and Workspace Settings live in the CC profile and it just lives in the cloud? Because you guys can't seem to do the "Retain current settings" thing ever, you have the option and the option never works. Not ONCE, ever.

    NOBODY WANTS THE ESSENTIALS WORKSPACE.

11. Adobe Fonts: Garamond Premier Pro 'Regular' is buggy, keeps disappearing in Indesign

    Hi there,

    Adobe Fonts is already fairly buggy and annoying, but InDesign also keeps losing added fonts. (InDesign 20.0.1 x64)

    In the drop down font list in InDesign, it splits fonts in the same Add Family into different groups, without giving the groups any kind of unique name so that you can tell which is which, and at the same time, it won't add both groups to the top recently-used section, such that you have to scroll down to find the missing group (and the font you just used), while having to then guess which group is the missing one. If you guess wrong, you're jumped back to the top and have to go scrolling again (or type in the font name, but the menu formatting becomes illegible then, in the sense that names are cut off and there's no longer any hierarchy, such that now you're squinting through a very long, cut-off menu, trying to find your font. It'd be helpful if the drop-down list still had some hierarchy while typing the font name, like it does when you're just scrolling through it)

    Even worse, it's having trouble finding certain added fonts, even though the whole Add Family was installed from Adobe Fonts.

    Garamond Premier Pro 'Regular' keeps disappearing in InDesign, even though the other fonts work. Medium is fine, it's the Regular that it's unhappy about. Perhaps should have been called Roman?

    (Garamond Premier gets split into a group of 22 fonts and a group of 11 Display fonts. So for example, the (22) group gets added to the recently-used fonts, but the (11) group does not, even though Display fonts are also being used. The 'Regular' font has gone pink repeatedly, even though Adobe Fonts thought it was installed. Tried removing and adding back, and InDesign has still been unable to find it)

    Thank you!

12. Email hyperlinks work once, but cease to work after clicking envelope link in Hyperlinks Palette

    When clicking an email link in the Hyperlinks Palette, the email does, in fact, spawn my mail application (Mac Mail) and the email and subject line are correct.

    However, when I return to Indesign to further edit the email link, and then I double click on that hyperlink in the Hyperlinks Palette, the email is no longer visible...it drops out.

    Additionally, the email is not available from the list of links (those links, BTW, are not shared links).

    And...the link, when I double click it, changes position in the list of hyperlinks, making it difficult to track what link you're trying to edits. This is particularly vexing when you're trying to edit auto-converted URLs which have names like "Hyperlink 97, Hyperlink 98, Hyperlink 99"---when the position changes, it's not clear if your edit to the hyperlink name is reordering due to A-Z...OR, if it's just jumping around in the list for no reason.

    PLEASE FIX!!!

    Here is a link to a video I made showing the issue:

    https://www.loom.com/share/9537c83e7bba478db57f3c6cbc3b667a?sid=0386085a-201b-4919-9f6d-1ef347818c9f

13. Placing Images mac photos cant access album structure

    Hi All,

    when placing images into indesign (commmand d) then selecting images in the finder like window (technically speaking this might be the ilifemdiabrowser plugin from apple) , i cannot access the photos library album strucutre anymore. When going to movies (filme) i get the menu where i can choose the subfolders, with images (bilder) it does not work. Further, when trying to choose media (top menu on placing window) it cant access it. I suppose it is some kind of issue with adobe not getting access to the os photos system. I tried solving it in the mac settings, but it is not possible to grant indesign access to the photos library. When installing indesign i got a message asking if indesign could access downloads and desktop, but it didnt ask for other folders or places.
     
    Same issue with photoshop. Other software on the mac (pages, word) are able to access it correctly, therefore showing the album strucutre from photos.
     
    This used to work on Mac osx 12.7 and Indesign 2023
    Just updated to OSX 15.4.1 and the problem occured (tried both indesign 2023 and indesign 2025)
     
    Any ideas are much appreciated.

14. InDesign 2025 does not import settings from 2024 correctly

    InDesign CC 2025 does not import Keyboard Shortcuts nor Workspaces. I had to install them manually. The new “Export setting” or “Import settings” features are obviously useless (as expected).

15. Blank screen and forgotten workspace settings

    I cannot believe we are still dealing with blank screens upon returning to an open InDesign document and I CANNOT believe we are still having to reset our Workspace settings almost every time we boot the app. I'm using version 20.3.1 and NONE of these things have been fixed. This has been going on for over a year through countless updates. Worse, it causes the unbelievably annoying popups to keep happening. If ID remembered my workspace settings from one boot to another I wouldn't have to deal with this.

    Stop with the high school level coding and fix these long standing issues once and for all. Jesus.

17. Cannot drag objects in second monitor

    Ever since updating, I cannot drag objects with my mouse if I am displaying InDesign on my second monitor. On my laptop screen it's fine, but if I move the program to another display, I get the red "unable to move" circle. I checked my preferences, made sure all layers and objects were unlocked, restarted my computer, and still nothing was able to move if InDesign was being displayed in another monitor.

18. change/find resets

    When using change/find option, the behavior is typically that the search will cycle to the next instance of the found text, however, in 19.3 on a MAC running Ventura 13.7.2 (22H313), the search will find one instance, then grey out the change/find button and not continue to the next instance -- even though other instances of the text exist.

19. Mouse click doesn't register properly

    On MacOS IdDesign 20.0.1 and 19.5.1 improperly register mouse clicks.

    As this misbehaviour started recently I suspect that some Apple patch broken something.
    But I do not experience any issues in other applications! Everything seems to work normally but InDesign.

    If you click a frame, InD registers a click-and-hold while I just clicked it with trackpad and lifted the finder up (see video).

    Second, if I put editing mark into the text and go to Paragraph style to apply it, the palette doesn’t register the click properly—it seems it registers a drag, not a click! I can only try to click multiple times in a row, very quickly, and then there’s a chance the click will be registered (as on the second video).

    Clicks with Wacom tablet seem to register properly in first case, while paragraph / text style are broken in both cases.

    I encountered that issue using macOS Sonoma, so I decided to upgrade to MacOS Sequoia, but with no effect. I’m working on MacBookPro18,3 with Apple M1 Pro.

    Work is almost impossible now…
