1. Paragraph shading disappears randomly when working in Indesign

   Expected result: the shading is displayed as it is applied in the settings, also when making an adjustment.

   Actual result: When opening the Indesign file, the shading is displayed correctly. But when a change is made in the area with paragraph shading, the shading randomly disappears in some places and the edges of the shading are not displayed correctly, which makes it impossible to make accurate changes in the shading. In the pdf, the shading is displayed correctly, as it is applied in the settings. So no problem there. It is merely when working in Indesign that the display of the shading is faulty.

   Reproduce: make an adjustment in the shaded area. Text in colums, anchored objects in text, placed images, shading merged

2. Reapply the master without losing information in text frames from the master

   This is complicated to describe, so I'm going to use a not-so-great example. In PowerPoint you can put "placeholders" on the master pages. If you make a change to the position of the placeholder and update the slide everything moves into the correct position.

   I'd like to be able to do something like that with text frames on the master in InDesign. The problem I'm having is that because I can't have two "primary text frames" on the master, I have to command-shift click to get the second text frame to be active. Once I do that, however, I can never reapply the master, because if I do, the text in the command-shift-clicked frame will disappear. The text in the primary text frame will not.

   Is this something you guys can fix? I understand the idea of primary text flow, so you can't necessarily link things automatically in the second frame - although maybe there could be a way of marking the frames so that they do flow properly.

   The issue is, I'm working on documents for the pharmaceutical industry and they need to run Important Safety Information thoughout the document. This frame would be at the bottom, while the other primary text frame would be at the top.

3. [ID-4257734]When you place an object with ‘Corner Options’ and ‘Text Wrap (Wrap around object shape)’ on a frame, the text moves.

   Checked on Windows 10 Japanese version, InDesign CS5 to CC2024

   1.Create a new document
   2.Create a frame grid with the Horizontal Grid Tool
   3.Insert a few line breaks at the beginning and assign sample text
   4.Draw a rectangle with the Rectangle Tool
   5.Set the shape in Corner Options to anything other than ‘None’
   6.Set the text wrap to ‘Wrap around object shape’
   7.When the drawn rectangle is placed on the frame, it is pushed out by one character

   It’s strange that the text moves even though the rectangle is not placed on top of the text.

   Conditions for the object causing this:
   ・Corner Options (anything other than ‘None’. Whether it’s all four sides or just one)
   ・Text wrap (Wrap around object shape)

   Conditions on the frame side:
   ・Occurs in both text frames and frame grids
   ・The narrower the width, the easier it is to reproduce, but it basically moves
   ・No relation to language or composer differences

   「コーナーオプション」と「テキストの回り込み（オブジェクトのシェイプで回り込む）」のオブジェクトをフレーム上に置くと文字が動く

   Windows10　日本語版　InDesign CS5～CC2024で確認

   1.新規ドキュメントを作成
   2.横組みグリッドツールでフレームグリッドを作成
   3.先頭に数行分の改行を入れ、サンプルテキストを割り付け
   4.長方形ツールで長方形を描く
   5.コーナーオプションでシェイプを「なし」以外にする
   6.テキストの回り込みで「オブジェクトのシェイプで回り込む」
   7.描いた長方形をフレームに乗せると１文字分追い出される

   長方形を文字の上に置いた訳でもないのに文字が動いてしまうのはおかしい

   原因となるオブジェクトの条件
   ・コーナーオプション（なし以外。４辺でも１辺でも）
   ・テキストの回り込み（オブジェクトのシェイプで回り込む）

   フレーム側の条件
   ・テキストフレームでもフレームグリッドでも発生
   ・横幅が狭い方が再現されやすいが基本動く
   ・言語、コンポーザーの違いは関係なし

4. Paragraph shading randomly disappears in some places when working in Indesign

   Expected result: the shading is always displayed as it is applied in the settings.

   Actual result: after making an adjustment, the shading disappears in some places and the shading edges that are displayed are not the actual edges, which makes it impossible to make accurate changes in the shading. When a pdf is made, the shading looks how it should look, so no issues there. It is merely when working in Indesign that the display of the shading is faulty. At first, when opening the Indesign file, the shading is displayed correctly, but when a change is made in the (shading of) the area, the shading breaks up, so you can't see what you are actually doing.

   Reproduce: make an adjustment in the shaded area. Text in columns, anchored objects in text, placed images, shading merged. The more anchored objects are inserted, the more the paragraph shading breaks up. (The line and paragraph numbering in the text in the attached example are anchored objects.)

5. bug déplacement des objets dans In Design version 20.1

   Je ne peux plus déplacer aucun bloc avec la souris ou le trackpad., qu'ils soient graphic ou texte.

   Ni la fleche noir ni la fleche blanche, seulement avec les fleches du clavier

   J'ai désactivé le "contenu vérouiller ajustement" dans le menu fichier et j'ai réinitaliser les préférences In Design mais cela ne marche pas mieux pour autant.

   J'ai essayer dans Photoshop et je peux déplacer mes objets normalement

6. InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom

   InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom. Typically, the mouse pointer should change to a drag icon to indicate this functionality, but this does not happen with InDesign, while it works normally with other applications.

7. Cannot move spreads

   InDesign has started glitching; not allowing me to shuffle pages, and whilst attempting to move objects – they jump un-aligned to the cursor.

   I have tried simply re-starting the machine, and I have uninstalled and re-installed the program, but the issue is persisting. Do you know if there is something else that I could attempt to try and fix the issue please?

8. Bug: Size of pages in INDD changes when placing the INDD in another INDD

   Indesign 20.2, Windows 11
   Not sure if this can be reproduced, but here is what I did:
   1. Created an INDD with two pages with size 180x264, no margins
   2. At the bottom of the second page placed a text frame with some text, so its bottom-left corner is at X=0 and Y=264
   3. Saved the INDD and placed it another INDD
   4. When applying "Fit frame to content" on the placed object, the displayed size changed to 180 mm x 260.2 mm

   It turns out that the text frame at the bottom of the second page has a different position now. It's sort of shifted by 3.8 mm

9. Inset spacing no longer working after re-installing InDesign 2025

   I re-installed InDesign 2025 because some windows were blank ('Text Wrap', 'Paragraph' & 'Colour'). It solved that issue but developed a new issue - it wouldn't save. So I re-installed again without keeping any settings/preferences, this time it developed a new issue - Inset spacing no longer works.
   What is going on?

10. Linhas

    Gostaria que o indesign pudesse numerar linhas/paragrafos através da janela de estilos assim como tem os marcadores, e podendo definir de quantas em quantas linhas ele vá numerar, Acho que não seria algo difícil de fazer.

12. [ID-3806494] Text Wrap Woes: v20.2 Update Fails to Resolve Text Wrapped Object Error Spacing Issue in Adobe InDesign

    This is a follow-up on the original bug report [ID-4257733], which addresses the issue of the "Text Wrapped Object" spacing error. The problem remains unresolved in Adobe InDesign version 2025 v20.2. Please find attached a PNG image illustrating the persisting issue

    Version of Adobe InDesign: 2025 v20.2, Mac OS 15.3.1

    Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

    1. Insert an image or free-flowing table into the text.
    2. Anchor the image or table in-line or custom to maintain spatial proximity with other images on the same page and ensure it remains adjacent to specific text .

    Expected Result: The ability to freely move or reposition the table/image anywhere on the page within the text, without overlaying or obscuring the text. This is particularly important for maintaining the relevancy and visual flow of the content.

    Actual Result: The "text wrap" spacing option fails to work for the text above the table/image, and the spacing is inconsistent—it does not work for the text above the table/image but functions correctly for the text below.

    This is a follow-up on the original bug report [ID-4257733], which addresses the issue of the "Text Wrapped Object" spacing error. The problem remains unresolved in Adobe InDesign version 2025 v20.2. Please find attached a PNG image illustrating the persisting issue

14. 1:1 print size zoom scale please !

    Please add a feature to select/setup a 1:1 screen to print scale, so that the 100% zoom can display the document at "real life" output size. (both on computer and monitor, hence the need for a personalized setup for different monitors)
    This could ideally be saved, the same way worskpaces can be saved.
    Thank you !

15. Rounded corners on rectangle get rounder every time the rectangle is clicked into

    Sometimes when I click into and out of a rectangle, or click and move the rectangle, the rounded corner value goes up from 0.0625 to .1667. I am using about 30 identically sized rectangles on the page, and I would like them to have identically rounded corners.

16. Alignment Options Removed from Floating Panel in Latest InDesign

    Is it possible that the latest version of InDesign removed the option to choose whether to align to objects or to the page from the floating Alignment panel? It was great that we could align via the top toolbar with page alignment selected while keeping object alignment in the floating panel, so we didn’t have to constantly switch between the two modes.

18. Inversed Rounded Corners Don't Match on All Sides

    When using the Inverse Rounded Corners in Corner Options, the corner shape doesn't match another box right next to it with the same settings when side by side. So when 2 boxes with the same corner options are next to each other it doesn't make a circle in the empty space but rather an angled rounded rectangle. It seems the top left and bottom right are one way and the top right and bottom left are another. It doesn't matter if the boxes are the same size or different. This issue was present in both InDesign 2020 and 2024 versions for testing. This was not an issue previously.

19. Text and picture boxes flash white when selecting and moving

    This is a problem I’ve been experiencing for some time and it’s still present in the latest version I’ve updated to.

    Whenever I select any item on the page - a picture box or text box - and I drag to another position, the item flashes white for a frame as I move it. This occurs whether I move the item with or without holding down the Shift key. It is only the item that flashes, not the rest of the page, but if I am moving a large shape or the background image, it becomes uncomfortable to the eye.

    It’s frustrating when working anyway, but surely this is dangerous for those with epilepsy?
