  1. InDesign V19.1 Updated Jan 18 2024 Bug: Double click on text frame moves the frame every time

    With the new version 19.1, every time I double click on a text box to change text, after each double click the text box is moving a tiny bit. This happens every time in any document and after a program restart.

  2. Links panel content overflow

    Since upgrading to InDesign 2024, we've encountered a persistent issue where the Links Panel becomes overwhelmed with linked assets. This overflow makes the panel difficult, if not impossible, to use effectively.

    Problem Description:
    The issue manifests when working with documents that contain a large number of unique linked assets. Upon selecting an asset (e.g., an image) within a page, the Links Panel attempts to highlight the corresponding link. However, instead of functioning as expected, the panel becomes cluttered and overflows with the document's other links, severely hindering our ability to work efficiently.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    Ensure your document contains a…

  4. Copy & paste within a numbered list can cause wrong numbering

    If you create a numbered list which runs over 2 or more columns and copy some text within the list from one paragraph to another the numbering changes. In my example you have 2 times 1 in the list.

    To make it even more crazy this only happens when you use the Adobe Single-line composer. If you work with the Adobe ParagraphComposer there's no problem at all.

    If you change the text frame from 2 columns to 1 column and back the error disappears as well.

  6. InDesign HTML export writes user CSS file in wrong order, ahead of base CSS

    Since at least v18, InDesign export to HTML writes any user-designated CSS files ahead of the base, idGenerated CSS file. This means user statements are wholly or partially overwritten by the base statements.

    This has been discussed and noted in the forum since at least v18, and I thought a bug notice had been entered here but I cannot locate it.

    This fault is critical for any users trying to export to HTML and use CSS style overrrides. Problems are likely elusive and frustrating since the "wrong interaction" of the CSS order may not be apparent unless and until the…

  7. Punctuation at the end of Hebrew text is broken if there is a SHIFT+ENTER in the middle

    Punctuation character at the end of Hebrew text is "shift" to the right if a SHIFT+ENTER (line break within the same paragraph) was typed somewhere in the paragraph.

    A simple example is shown in the attached image.

    Also, in the attached Image I am using the "Adobe Hebrew" font with "Hebrew" set as Language (as can be seen in the attached images).

  9. Items jumping to front

    My team are currently having a glitch where items that have been sent to back are jumping back to the front even if the item is locked. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to this as this is happening while working elsewhere in the documents and if often only noticed once it has been PDFd. It is effecting images/text boxes and solid shapes.

  10. Arrowhead scaling percentage no longer accurate

    I have just realised that the arrowhead scaling percentage no longer works as it should.

    Scaling an arrowhead to 50% no longer means that the size is reduced to 50%, it the arrowhead only shrinks to something like 90%.

    Similarliy, a 200% size adjustment gives me around 110% the original size. See image.

    Not even a 1% setting gives me the 50% size I'm looking for.

    I'm on a MBP M3 Max with InDesign 19.1.

  11. story direction missing indesign 19.2

    I don’t know how, but I activated story direction right to left when i created a frame with columns. I went crazy to disable it, so i found that there is an option which is missing in my indesign version (19.2. italian language). Is there a way or a keyboard shortcut to fix it? Thanks for your help

  12. Anchor a group of texts in a text

    I use Indesign 19.1. I have a group of texts that I need to anchor in the main text frame. As there is no anchor point on my group, I try to cut it and paste it where I need it to be anchored. I place my cursor where it should be, and paste, but nothing happens. So, I tried the same manipulation in Indesign 18.1 and it works. Can you tell me why it doesn't work anymore, and how can I anchor my group of texts. Is there another way?

  13. Tools disappear in InDesign Beta

    My tools that are supposed to be on the left side disappear sometimes. I close the app and open it again but still nothing. I'm using the normal InDesign now and it's working well. I'm using an Intel Mac.

  14. PROBLEME [Lecture seule]

    Bonjour, J'ai un problème depuis les mises à jour de InDesign 2023 et 2024, presque à chaque fois que j'ouvre un fichier Indd, il s'ouvre en "Lecture seule"...
    Alors que je n'ai rien changé par rapport à avant, donc ça semble être lié à un problème lié à InDesign plutôt qu'à l'ordinateur. Je suis donc obligé très souvent soit de fermer le fichier et le rouvrir ou l'enregistrer sous une nouvelle version pour pouvoir faire des modifications... Pour info ce problème persiste sur tout types de fichier et de version InDesign...
    Pourriez-vous m'aider et avez-vous déjà eu le problème ? …

  17. layer visibility of placed ai file is not updated when edited in Illustrator.

    When layer visibility of a placed Illustrator (.ai) file is edited in Illustrator, InDesign does not update. The layer that is not visible in the .ai file is still visible in the InDesign file.
    Manually placing the revised .ai file into InDesign shows the file correctly.
