1. [ID-4245219]Disappearing Punctuation Marks in Hebrew RTL Justified Text in Exported PDF

   Severity Level: Critical
   Impact: Severe disruption to Hebrew text layout workflow and document integrity

   Bug Description

   Punctuation marks are randomly disappearing in justified Hebrew text blocks (RTL direction), specifically at:
   - Paragraph endings
   - Forced line breaks
   - Last lines of justified paragraphs

   Technical Context

   • Text Direction: Right-to-Left (RTL)
   • Language: Hebrew
   • Text Alignment: Justified

   Affected Punctuation Marks

   • Periods (.)
   • Semicolons (;)
   • Commas (,)
   • Colons (:)

   Specific Behavior in RTL Context

   1. When Hebrew text is set to justified alignment, punctuation marks vanish:
      • At the end of paragraphs
      • Before forced line breaks
   2. Exception: Punctuation marks remain visible if the last line is explicitly right-aligned
   3. The issue appears to be specific to RTL text direction and does not occur in LTR text

   Known Workarounds and Their Limitations

   1. Legacy Composition Engine Option:

      • While switching to the legacy composition engine in preferences resolves this specific issue
      • We strongly advise against this solution due to:
        • Previously reported bugs and limitations in the legacy engine (see bug reports #ID-4245219)
        • Performance issues documented in our earlier reports
        • Compatibility concerns with newer features
      • We require a proper fix in the current composition engine rather than reverting to legacy solutions

   2. Temporary Layout Workaround:

      • Right-align the last line of affected paragraphs
      • This is not viable for production as it:
        • Affects layout consistency
        • Requires constant manual intervention
        • Disrupts automated workflows

   Technical Impact

   • Compromises Hebrew document accuracy
   • Requires constant manual checking and fixes
   • Disrupts automated workflows for Hebrew text processing
   • May lead to incorrect final output in published Hebrew materials

   Priority Level

   Immediate attention required as this bug:
   - Affects core Hebrew typography functionality
   - Creates significant quality control issues in RTL text layouts
   - Requires time-consuming manual verification
   - May result in incorrect published content

   Steps to Reproduce

   1. Set paragraph direction to RTL
   2. Create a Hebrew text block with justified alignment
   3. Type a paragraph ending with any punctuation mark
   4. Add forced line breaks within the paragraph
   5. Observe the disappearance of punctuation marks at:
      • Paragraph endings
      • Before forced line breaks

   Technical Investigation Request

   Please investigate:
   - RTL text rendering engine behavior
   - Interaction between justified alignment and RTL text direction
   - Potential conflicts between Hebrew text processing and punctuation handling
   - Implementation of punctuation handling in the current composition engine

   Request

   Immediate investigation and hotfix needed in the current composition engine. While we acknowledge the existence of a legacy engine workaround, we require a proper fix in the current engine to maintain workflow efficiency and compatibility with modern features.

2. Hebrew Text Bugs in InDesign 2025

   1. Incorrect cursor movement with arrow keys in Visual movement mode: When working with Hebrew text in Visual movement mode, the arrow keys do not move the cursor in the expected or desired direction. This issue disrupts editing and text arrangement in Hebrew.
      Tracked via https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/48967859-cursor-movement-wrong

   2. Disappearance of punctuation marks and letters in exported PDFs: In various situations when working with Hebrew text, certain punctuation marks (e.g., periods, commas, etc.) and individual letters disappear in the final exported PDF file.

   With 19.0 release we had added the support of Harfbuzz shaper as a default for World-Ready Composer in InDesign. Post that few issues were reported related Hebrew Text.

   Over the period of ID19.x releases we have fixed various issues related to Harfbuzz shaper that are listed below:

   1. Incorrect text direction when mixed languages are used.

   2. Punctuation marks are getting lost when exporting it to PDFs.

   3. When we apply forced line breaks, the right-to-left text changes to left-lo-right.

   4. Overlapping of right-to-left text we place any .psd file in the textframe.

   5. Selection and cursor navigation issues when we try to edit tables in story editor.

   6. Text overlapping upon creating outlines when it contains footnote reference.

   From ID19.4 version onwards, we have also provided a preference within the application to allow users to switch to legacy shaping engine for World-Ready Composer in case users are facing issues specific to Harfbuzz shaper, so that the behaviour becomes similar to what happens for ID18.x versions.

   The new option is present in InDesign's preferences under:

   Preferences > Advanced Type > 'Enable Legacy Text Shaping for Adobe World-Ready Composer'

   If you still continue to face any issue with ID20.0 version - even after trying the preference to switch to legacy shaper, we request you to create a separate Uservoice thread for each issue so that they can be tracked and prioritised appropriately.

3. [ID-4243320]Cursor moves differently in MENA builds.

   InDesign version: v20 (both Mac & PC)

   In right-to-left languages ​​(Hebrew & Arabic) the cursor movement went crazy:
   - Left key - goes up
   - Right key - jumps to the end of the line...
   We can't work that way

   Note: both (23\25 indd) set to 'Visual' in preferences > right-to-left > cursor movement (of course, changing the setting to 'logical' doesn’t solve it)

4. [ID-4246352]NIKKUD (accents/diacritics) selection has become invisible

   InDesign version: v20 (both Mac & PC)

   Hebrew letters can use NIKKUD - vocalization diacritical marks (function like Vowels) under/above the letter.

   • In previous versions (-2023) it was possible to select only the NIKKUD (attached image) of the letter. (in order to specify the position of the NIKKUD using the Diacritic Positioning panel or to change color, etc.)
   • In the current version (2024-2025) the selection is on the entire letter, and there is no visual indication whether the letter or the NIKKUD is selected (attached image).

   Note: Sometimes there are two NIKKUD characters and even in such a case in the past it was possible to choose each separately (attached image)

5. [ID-4257184]InDesign 2025(v20.0) Performance issues: Delay or beach balls on basic operations

   Problem: 

   InDesign Performance issues: Delay or beach balls observed on basic operations on Macintosh

   Steps to Reproduce:

   No reliable reproducible steps

   Impacted workflows:

   • Switching to InDesign
   • Open/Closing of Document
   • Edit/Scroll/Copy-paste/Highlight operation on Text
   • Text disappears, illustrations disappear
   • Imported or added text turns black until a style is applied.
   • Font menu highlight not following my mouse movement
   • Text will not change fonts until I click the mouse inside or outside the text box.
   • Resize a document window, the corner flies below the screen border
   • Click or Drag of the mouse

   • Disabling any font manager software seems to resolve the issue. One customer confirmed that disabling "Rightfont" resolved the issue.
   • Uninstall-Reinstall seems to resolve the issue temporarily
   • Turn off Preflight seems to resolve the issue temporarily

   Note:

   1. The issue seems to be specific to the MAC platform only. Impacted macOS (Sequoia, Sonoma, Ventura(maybe), Monterey)
   2. The issue seems to be specific to the MAC devices
      • Apple MacBook Pro M1/M2/M3
      • Apple MacBook Air M1/M2/M3

   During the installation of InDesign 2025, all .joboptions files with PDF export settings were removed, even in the older version 2024! This is absurd!

7. CMYK color specified in MathML does not match the set value

   InDesign 20.0 (2025)
   Windows /macOS

   When I apply a preset or a newly created CMYK swatch to MathML, the color does not match the value.
   It appears to be CMYK via RGB color.

   Original text (Japanese):
   MathMLに対し、プリセットや新規作成したCMYKスウォッチを適用しても、その数値どおりのカラーになりません。
   RGBカラーを経由してCMYKになっているように見えます。

   Thank you for trying out the MathML feature in InDesign! The math objects created using this feature are placed as SVGs, and hence they exclusively support RGB colours.If you try to apply a non RGB colour (CMYK/LAB/HSV-based), then by design it is converted to RGB before it is applied to the math object. This conversion is designed to enable users to continue using document colours that are not RGB-based for the math object SVGs.

8. Letter after drop cap disappear in PDF

   In InDesign 19.x ME version, the letter after Drop Cap disappears in the PDF file.
   When will you release us from the idiotic World-ready composer and allow us to use Adobe Composer to write from right to left?

10. Bug when setting an even number as the start page number in a new document.

    Bug when setting an even number for the start page number when creating a new document

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign
       CC2025 (ver. 20.0) JP

    2. Steps to reproduce the issues
       Set any even number for the start page number on the Create New Document screen.

    3. Expected result
       An even page number will be displayed in Current Page Number as set.

    4. Actual resul
       The value set in the New Document screen will not be reflected, and “Current Page Number” will display “1”.

    As shown in the attached figure, when “Current Page Number” is inserted into a new document with the starting page number set to an even number, the document starts with “1”.
    (As long as the number set in the new document creation screen is an even number, any value will not be reflected and will become “1”).

    This phenomenon can be recovered by temporarily setting a different value in “Number & Section Option”.
    However, for users who are not aware of this behavior, it is sure to cause great confusion.
    It can also cause significant time loss in finding a solution.
    We have not been able to verify whether this bug is specific to the Japanese version, but we recognize that it is a very serious bug.
    We sincerely hope that the development team will fix it as soon as possible.

    <Japanese Comment>
    新規ドキュメント作成で開始ページ番号に偶数番号を設定すると発生する不具合

    InDesignのバージョン
    CC2025 (ver.20.0) JP

    問題の再現手順
    新規ドキュメント作成画面で、開始ページ番号に任意の偶数を設定する。

    予想される結果
    「現在のページ番号」に、設定通りの偶数ページ番号が表示される。

    実際の結果
    新規ドキュメント画面で設定した値は反映されず、「現在のページ番号」に「1」が表示される。

    添付画像のように、開始ページ番号を偶数番号に設定した新規ドキュメントに、「現在のページ番号」を挿入すると「1」から開始されます。
    （新規ドキュメント作成画面で設定した番号が偶数である限り、いかなる値であっても反映されず「1」となる）

    この現象は「ページ番号とセクションの設定」で、一時的に別の値を設定すれば回復します。
    しかしこの挙動を認識していないユーザーにとって、大きな混乱を招く原因となることは間違いありません。
    また、解決策を見つけるために大きな時間のロスを生む可能性があります。
    この不具合は日本語版固有の問題なのかは検証できていませんが、非常に深刻なバグであると認識しています。
    開発チームには早急に改善していただくよう切に希望します。

11. One Frame Grid Remains Unchanged When Modifying Multiple Selected Frame Grids

    InDesign CS4 (v6) and Later

    When changing the “Number of Characters per Line” or “Number of Lines” for multiple selected frame grids, one of the frame grids always fails to update. This bug, first observed in CS4 (v6), remains unresolved.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Select multiple frame grids.
    2. Go to the menu and choose “Object > Frame Grid Options...”
    3. Modify the “Number of Characters per Line” or “Number of Lines” settings.

    Result: Changes are not reflected in one of the frame grids. It appears that the frame grid with the smallest object ID does not get updated.

    Expected Result: All selected frame grids should reflect the changes.

12. "Don't Save" and "Cancel" Positions are reversed in Indesign 20.0

    "Don't Save" and "Cancel" Positions are reversed in Indesign 20.0.

    Why in the world would they do this??? Yet another meaningless update to hinder production.

    Not OS related, as I have not updated my OS since updating to Indesign 20.

13. Alert is shown on opening documents in InDesign(v19.4.0.63) - "This file is already open by another user or another application."

    After updating InDesign to V19.4, I'm now locked out of many of my previous design files. I'm receiving the error, "This file is already open by another user or another application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it."

    I reinstalled V19.3 and can now access these old files but I would prefer to use the most up to date version if possible. happy to provide a sample if needed.

14. InDesign 2025 Won't Lock "Constrain Proportions"

    When creating a frame, rectangle, any object, or selecting any other object, InDesign 2025 will not keep Constrain Proportions locked when the lock icon is clicked on the control bar.

    The user now has to click it while they select each object and want to scale an object by scaling either the width or height.

    I didn't notice this at first, but found out from a Reddit post.

15. InDesign hangs when placing CJK tagged text with ruby

    I'm currently using ID 2024, but I have tested other versions of ID, back to CS6, and they all have the same problem. I'm currently running Windows 11, but the problem also occurs in Windows 10.

    Steps:

    1. Install the Adobe font family, Source Han Sans TW, on your computer.
    2. Download TaggedText.zip and unzip it
    3. Open InDesign in the CJK version
    4. Create a new document with these grid attributes: Direction = Vertical; Font = Source Han Sans TW, Normal; Size = 16 pt; Vertical = Horizontal = 100%; Char Aki = 0 pt; Line Aki = 10 pt; Characters = 40; Lines = 15
    5. Go File > Place... > choose TaggedText.txt
    6. After TaggedText.txt is loaded into the "cursor" <shift-click> inside the frame

    It would be nice if InDesign would place the text and allow me to continue working with the data. Unfortunately, InDesign hangs and I have to kill it with the Task Manager.

    UserVoice does not allow uploading zip files so here is the link to TaggedText.zip:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pndkPDCXuja6eh3kv-Yipfzrq0UcsISd/view?usp=sharing
    (Contact me if you have problems downloading it.)

    I have a video showing how to reproduce the bug:
    https://www.loom.com/share/733195ba2f5a4b2abb6faae10835b4ad?sid=036cf1f2-a772-476c-a8ee-ab126ce0f2dd

    I'm pretty sure the problem is related to ruby in the tagged text. It is possible to place the text using the debug version of InDesign available through adobeprerelease.com which leads me to think that the tagged text is acceptable. My request is to fix the regular version of InDesign so that it can place this tagged text just like the debug version can.

    At this point InDesign is hung.

    I'm currently using ID 2024, but I have tested other versions of ID, back to CS6, and they all have the same problem. I'm currently running Windows 11, but the problem also occurs in Windows 10.

    Steps:

    1. Install the Adobe font family, Source Han Sans TW, on your computer.
    2. Download TaggedText.zip and unzip it
    3. Open InDesign in the CJK version
    4. Create a new document with these grid attributes: Direction = Vertical; Font = Source Han Sans TW, Normal; Size = 16 pt; Vertical = Horizontal = 100%; Char Aki = 0 pt; Line Aki = 10 pt; Characters = 40;… more

16. The amount of “Indent to Here” in a paragraph with a “Text Wrap” object at the beginning of the line is wider than usual.

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign Windows CC2023-2024
    2. Steps to reproduce the issues Place an object with "Text Wrap" at the beginning of the line and insert "Indent to Here" in the paragraph.
    3. Expected result Wrap at "Indent to Here"
    4. Actual result A gap is created where the "Text Wrap" is added to the wrap of "Indent to Here".

    I suspect that the issue mentioned in the post below may be related to it being fixed in 2023 (18.0).

    In a Bulleted list as shown in the video, Left Indent and First Line Left Indent is typically used.

    Why is "Indent to Here" being used in a Bulleted list?

    Why were the "cancel" and "don't save" buttons swapped for Adobe '25 products? Why was this switch made? Makes no sense. I am having to unlearn 25+ years of muscle behavior. Why!

18. Data merge not working for absolute paths on macOS

    With the latest update of 19.4, image paths no longer work for merge documents. I installed the latest update, which went back to 19.3, and have had no issues; therefore, I have isolated the issue with the update. I currently usean Excell file with an image field and the path to the image associated with each record. I have not changed anything in the file but with the new update I get the error message indicating the file is missing.

    The fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2024(v19.5.0.084). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.

    Kindly update the data source file with the POSIX style path in Macintosh to work with data merge functionality smoothly. Please refer to the helpx https://helpx.adobe.com/in/indesign/using/data-merge.html to know more about the difference between HFS and Posix style paths.

    You can get the actual POSIX path of a file by right-click it in the Finder while holding Option (or right-click, then press Option) > Copy as pathname menu. This can help you explore the correct POSIX paths to ensure you're using them correctly.

    Note: Relative path as such /<foldername>/<filename> is no longer supported after the fix, as it considers the starting “/” as an absolute path. Instead, the recommendation is to omit the starting “/” and use <foldername>/<filename> instead or any of the other existing ways to access the relative path like ./<foldername>/<filename>.

    If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application and click on the context menu on the top right, and click on Check for App Updates.

19. No Redraws on Object Highlight

    Prerequisites

    • macOS version only
    • version 18 (2023) and later
    • Screen Mode: Normal
    • GPU Performance OFF (CPU Preview)

    This issue occurs 100% of the time under these conditions. Note that Overprint Preview forces CPU Preview, causing the issue even in Overprint Preview mode with GPU Performance ON. It persists across macOS versions and Intel/Apple Silicon platforms.

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Prepare an InDesign document with multiple pages.
    2. Place any object on the page.
    3. Switch to the Text tool.
    4. Hover the mouse over the object (MouseEnter), without selecting it.
    5. Press the Cmd key while the mouse is over the object.
    6. The object is highlighted.
    7. Select the menu item "Layout > Next Page."

    The document should navigate to the next page, but it doesn't. Although the scrollbar or page panel indicates navigation, the display remains frozen without redrawing.

    Furthermore, even when the mouse is moved away from the object (MouseExit), the object remains highlighted and can be challenging to unhighlight.

    This feature, highlighting objects using "Text tool + Cmd key + MouseEnter," has been present in InDesign since its early versions. However, this issue surfaced in version 18 (2023) specifically when using CPU Preview, despite no problems in version 17 (2022).

    ---

    There are similar issues with other functions.

    Steps to Reproduce

    In addition to the prerequisites mentioned above, turn on "Highlight Object Under Selection Tool" in "Preferences > Interface." Then, highlight an object with the Selection Tool and press the keyboard shortcut for "Layout > Next Page" (shift+page down).

    The document should move to the next page, but it does not. Similarity to the above bug.

    "Highlight Object Under Selection Tool" is a feature introduced in CS5.5. Turning this off can prevent the issue from occurring.

    However, even when this is turned off, the object highlight with "Text Tool + Cmd Key + MouseEnter" does not turn off. It might be a completely separate function. To avoid confusion, I explained these two separately.

    Prerequisites

    • macOS version only
    • version 18 (2023) and later
    • Screen Mode: Normal
    • GPU Performance OFF (CPU Preview)

    This issue occurs 100% of the time under these conditions. Note that Overprint Preview forces CPU Preview, causing the issue even in Overprint Preview mode with GPU Performance ON. It persists across macOS versions and Intel/Apple Silicon platforms.

    Since I've updated my mac mini to Sonoma, when I use InDesign, the documents flash every time I click on it. If I click and hold, the screen become completely white. This is very annoying, almost impossible to work.
