Slower than expected saves in InDesign 2025 20.0.1
Hi,
Saving ID documents used to be a breeze on my previous Intel 2020 iMac Pro (instantaneous). Now, not so much...
I recently upgraded to a Mac mini 2024 with an M4 Pro chip. It has 64 GB of memory and is running macOS Sequoia 15.2.
It takes around 7-8 seconds per save and I can't quick tab (command-tab) to swap apps while doing so which is pretty frustrating, considering the processing increase of my new Mac. My documents aren't particularly complicated and as with most professional users, I need to save and swap between other apps, e.g., Word, Chrome,…

InDesign 2025 Lagging on Macs and MacBooks using Sequoia
This issue has been going on since the introduction of InDesign 2025, I believed (wrongly it seems) that Adobe would be aware. This is a very long ongoing community page and the issue effects many subscribers. More so now as not all users have the issue and are using the 2025 software, causing software compatibility issues.

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…1 vote -
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?

Indesign still incredibly LAGGY and SLOW! - But may be fixed in v20.0.1
NOTE: I just downloaded the latest InDesign update V. 20.0.1 and it seems to be fixed. But I am leaving this rant here until it works correctly for like a week. LOL!

Previous Rant:
How the heck can I get my work done when InDesign is sooo SLOW!
I am on a production schedule and simply cannot believe how incredibly slow and laggy the program has become.I have an 18 page illustrated book layout that I am trying to add text to and it takes a full 4 - 6 seconds when I try to copy a line…

no spellcheck
there is no spellcheck which really bothers me, I had to manually type in the right spelling, wasting my time because English is not my first language i forget how to spell some words, it takes hours for me to type something without spellcheck. Please add this function to InDesign it really is necessary

View menu failing to load
When I roll over the Plug-Ins menu item, and then scoot over to the View menu item, the full View menu does not load. If I come off the menu header, and then hover directly over the View menu head, the full menu appears.

ID version: 20.0.1 & MacOS Sequoia: 15.1.1 horrendeously sluggish
I recently had my 2019 Mac Pro go down, and IT ended up wiping and reinstalling everything, including updating my OS to Sequoia 15.1.1. After that, I updated Creative Cloud to InDesign 20.0.1—and wow, what a nightmare. It’s incredibly sluggish. Opening the app? Wait. Opening a file? Wait. Moving a window? Nothing happens at first, then a bit of movement, followed by the spinning beach ball... and more waiting. I tried merging a file, and what used to take seconds now feels like an eternity. Basic, insert type bar to type text, i have to wait, and wait. Is anyone…

Latency issue on Mac since version 20.0.1
Every action, every time I switch back to InDesign after using another application, every event is preceded by a 1-2 second delay. When spending the whole day working on InDesign, this becomes unbearable. This is the first time I've experienced this, and it has been happening since the new version 20.
See video. The Mac "spinning wheel" appears multiple times in one minute. Imagine this over several hours or days.
Adobe, cold you please fix it asap?

Resizing item using control bar value defaults to unlinked every time
The resizing tool in the control bar will not stay with linked proportions - I go to resize an object to a specific width for example, I want it to be proportionally linked so I click the link button. It works, but immediately defaults to unlinked. Previously this stayed on what you had selected for the next time you used it. This is causing multiple errors when I am expecting it to stay linked. Using Indesign 2025 v20.01 on Sequoia

[ID-4256388] New document size resetting to previous
Every time I go to set up a new document and put in a size in the preset details, the measurments snap back to the previous size, either immediately, when tabbing from width to height, or when adding margin or bleed details. Happens every time, repeatedly. Using Indesign 2025 v20.01, on iMac 2019 OS Sonoma 14.1, also happens using Sequoia

InDesign Mac not remembering window size on open, WITHOUT using Application Frame
For the life of me of me PLEASE fix InDesign so it remembers the window size when opening a file, without having to use the annoying and PC-like application frame (I'm on a Mac). Thank you.

document stuck halfway below view after zooming
this is a bit hard to describe but basically when i'm working on a square shaped document, when zooming in or out—i think mostly out?—the document will stick halfway visible (see screenshot) and the only way to see the full page again is to hit cmd-0 to have it centre itself back on the screen. this happens to me uncountable times an hour and it's a real pain.

set default save location to original file folder
Please make a setting in preferences with two options for default file save locations:
a) Always save to last used folder (the folder you used in the last save to session)
b) Always save to doc uments original folder (the folder where each individual document currently is saved and opened from)Currently InDesign uses option a) which in my case is a total desaster since everytime I am in a hurry saving or exporting something the file lands in some other project folder where i can search / delete or move it afterwards which results in a bad workflow.
