1. [ID-4281542]Unable to move multiple objects when selecting image frames

   With the latest version of Indesign (21.4) I can't move multiple image frames any more unless I group them. This also applies when selecting an image frame and graphic elements such as rectangles or text frames, everything else deselects and stays put with the image moving. Except when I click and drag on the non image frame of the selection, then everything works as it should. Can you please fix this as it is highly annoying.

   Mac OS 26.5, Indesign 21.4

   Workaround:

   • Holding the Shift key while dragging allows the entire selection to move correctly.
   • Rolling back from InDesign 21.4 to InDesign 21.3 resolves the issue.

4. World-Ready Composer – Nonbreaking & Flush Bugs

   NOTE: Please see the attached screenshots
   Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer ONLY

   1. NONBREAKING SPACE (FLEXIBLE) BEHAVES AS FIXED WIDTH:
      The "Nonbreaking Space" fails to expand/compress in justified text. It stays at a fixed width, making it identical to the "Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width)".

   2. MULTIPLE FLUSH SPACES FAIL TO DISTRIBUTE EQUALLY:
      In a single line only the last Flush Space in the line expands, while the others behave like standard spaces.

   Expected behavior:
   NONBREAKING SPACE: Should flex with justification.
   FLUSH SPACES: Should distribute the empty space equally between all instances in the line.

5. indesign 21.5.1 / incopy 21.5.5 Spaltenbreiten in Tabellen

   mein Kunde und ich nutzen seit vielen Jahren den Incopy/Indesign-Austausch. Seit ein paar Tagen habe ich das Problem, dass sich die erste Spaltenbreite der vorhandenen Tabellen ändert, sobald die .icma-Datei in incopy geöffnet wird. Die Spaltenbreiten sind in Indesign fest definiert (erste Spalte 21,8 mm) - nach dem Öffnen in Incopy ist sie nur noch 14,111 mm breit. Manchmal (aber nicht immer) wird die falsche Spaltenbreite auch ins Indesign-Dokument übernommen, sobald die Aufgaben aktualisiert sind. Dadurch zerschießt sich unser komplettes Layout. Die Tabellen bestehen aus 4 Reihen und 3 Spalten, in der ersten Reihe sind die Spalten verbunden. Das Problem tritt in älteren Versionen nicht auf

6. [ID-4275284][Windows][KB5074109][KB5073724]InDesign encounters Error 2 while saving files or crashes during the save process

   Abruptly files that have been edited on a Mac are corrupting when opened on PC and a save is attempted - often crashing InDesign repeatedly. Can normally eventually save a copy to 'Downloads' - rather than the shared Dropbox folder and then overwrite but tends to take several restarts and recovery attemps / saving as idml. Gives a variety of error messages - sometimes error 2, sometimes unable to do this process, some times tried to save but couldn't... any ideas?!

   Microsoft has acknowledged the issue, and we’re working closely with them to resolve it as quickly as possible.

8. Find/Change Custon Queries and Multi-Find/Change Extension

   The latest update to Indesign (verision 21.5.1) breaks Multi-Find/Change Extension and Custom (save) Queries menu in the Find/Change dialog box. As of the update I can perform only 1 task in Multi-Find Change. The task can be running a set of queries or importing a set or exporting a set. Whatever you do, you can only do 1 thing before crashing. Trying to do a second task results in a crash and quit of Indesign. Also the menu of saved queries in the Find/Change dialog is glitchy: sometimes showing and sometimes doing nothing. (Maybe this has something to do with the latest half-*** beta AI feature allowing conversation searching?) Had to revert to previous version.

9. RTL Text Bugs Despite "Fixed" Notification

   InDesign 20.3.1.073

   Dear Adobe InDesign Development Team,
   We appreciate your efforts in addressing the RTL text issues introduced with the HarfBuzz engine in InDesign 19 (2024) and the improvements made through version 20.3.1.073.
   However, we must bring to your urgent attention that, contrary to your recent "Fixed" notification, several critical bugs remain unresolved, several critical bugs remain unresolved, impacting right-to-left (RTL) workflows (Hebrew & Arabic).

   Critical Bug:

   • #1: Disappearing Punctuation/Text in PDF Export with Drop Cap and Line Break When a drop cap is applied )in justified RTL text( followed by punctuation and a line break, the punctuation marks (and sometimes adjacent text) completely disappear in the exported PDF, leaving only white space. This issue is particularly dangerous because it appears ONLY in the exported PDF, not in InDesign's interface and can easily lead to published documents with missing content. o Report + screenshots: https://www.adobeprerelease.com/beta/C6DFA254-C40C-4EEB-8F6D-F4AEDA2E6171/feedback/item/ID-4262114

   Additional Unresolved Bugs:

   • 2: Reversed Cursor Navigation with Modifier Keys
     When navigating RTL text using arrow keys with Shift (to select text) or Command/Control (to skip words), the cursor moves in the opposite direction of the arrow pressed (e.g., right arrow selects text to the left). Regular arrow navigation (without modifiers) works correctly. This occurs in “Visual” cursor movement mode (Preferences > RTL > Cursor Movement) which is commonly used by RTL users.
     o Report + video: https://www.adobeprerelease.com/beta/C6DFA254-C40C-4EEB-8F6D-F4AEDA2E6171/feedback/item/ID-4260041

   • 3: No Visual Indication for 'Nikkud' (Diacritics) Selection
     Unlike the previous text engine, the HarfBuzz engine lacks visual feedback when selecting nikkud (Hebrew diacritics), making it difficult to edit accurately.
     o Report + screenshots: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/48967916--id-4246352-nikkud-accents-diacritics-selection

   We urge the InDesign team to prioritize the critical PDF export bug (Issue #1) for immediate resolution, work toward a complete solution for all RTL bugs, and update the misleading “Fixed” notification for version 20.3.1.073.

   Please let us know how we can assist further (e.g., providing test files or additional details).

   Thank you for your attention to this matter.

   Sincerely,
   Adobe InDesign User Community

10. Alt-Text: incorrect German text

    Within the preferences, Adobe tells German users that the text "KI-generierte Inhalte" will be added to the alt-text, if this feature is activated.

    But instead "Beschreibung von KI generiert" is added in reality (second screenshot). This is the correct meaning, so please change this in the preferences to "Beschreibung von KI generiert" as well.

11. “Missing Fonts” Alert Is Not Displayed When “Embedded Profile Mismatch” Warning Appears on Document Open

    InDesign 2025 (20) and later
    macOS, Windows

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Prepare an INDD file that satisfies both of the following conditions:
       • The document’s embedded color profile does not match the current Color Settings
       • One or more fonts used in the document are not installed on the current machine
    2. Open the INDD file.
    3. Observe the dialog(s) that appear.

    Expected Result

    Both alerts are displayed:
    1. The “Embedded Profile Mismatch” dialog appears first.
    2. After dismissing it, the “Missing Fonts” dialog appears as usual.

    Actual Result

    Only the “Embedded Profile Mismatch” dialog is shown. The “Missing Fonts” dialog is never presented. The missing fonts are highlighted in pink in the layout, with no opportunity to review or resolve them at open time.

    Additional Notes

    • In InDesign 2024 (19) and earlier, the “Missing Fonts” dialog appeared after the “Embedded Profile Mismatch” dialog as expected.
    • Since INDD files always embed a color profile, the “Embedded Profile Mismatch” dialog appears whenever the document’s profile differs from the user’s Color Settings, making this bug easy to trigger in typical production workflows.

    Impact

    When the color profile warning fires first, users are not notified of missing fonts. The missing fonts are silently substituted, making it highly likely that work or output will proceed with incorrect fonts. The only way to check for missing fonts is to manually open Type > Find Fonts… after the document is already open.

    Workaround

    On macOS only: dropping the file directly onto the InDesign application window avoids the issue. No workaround is available on Windows, or when using other open methods on macOS.

    ドキュメントを開く際、「プロファイルまたはポリシーの不一致」警告が表示されると「環境にないフォント」の警告が表示されない

    InDesign 2025 (20) 以降
    macOS、Windows

    再現手順

    1. 以下の2つの条件を両方満たすINDDファイルを用意する
       • ドキュメントに埋め込まれたカラープロファイルが現在のカラー設定と一致しない
       • ドキュメントで使用されているフォントが1つ以上、現在の環境にインストールされていない
    2. INDDファイルを開く
    3. 表示されるダイアログを確認する

    期待される結果

    2つの警告がいずれも表示される。
    1. まず「プロファイルまたはポリシーの不一致」ダイアログが表示される。
    2. それを閉じると、通常どおり「環境にないフォント」ダイアログが表示される。

    実際の結果

    「プロファイルまたはポリシーの不一致」ダイアログのみが表示される。「環境にないフォント」ダイアログは一切表示されない。環境にないフォントはレイアウト上でピンク色にハイライトされるだけで、開く時点でそれを確認・解決する機会が与えられない。

    補足

    • 2024 (19) 以前は、「プロファイルまたはポリシーの不一致」ダイアログの後に「環境にないフォント」ダイアログが順番に表示されていた。
    • INDDファイルには必ずカラープロファイルが埋め込まれるため、ドキュメントのプロファイルとユーザーのカラー設定が異なれば必ずこの不一致ダイアログが表示される。これにより、通常の制作ワークフローでも本バグは容易に発生する。

    影響

    カラープロファイルの警告が先に発生した場合、ユーザーは環境にないフォントの存在を通知されない。気づかないままフォントが代替表示された状態で作業・出力が行われる可能性が極めて高い。環境にないフォントを確認するには、ドキュメントを開いた後に手動で「書式 > フォントの検索と置換...」を開くしかない。

    回避策

    macOSのみファイルをInDesignのアプリケーションウィンドウに直接ドロップして開くと本バグは発生しない。Windowsでは回避策なし。macOSでも他の開き方では回避できない。

    InDesign 2025 (20) and later
    macOS, Windows

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Prepare an INDD file that satisfies both of the following conditions:
       • The document’s embedded color profile does not match the current Color Settings
       • One or more fonts used in the document are not installed on the current machine
    2. Open the INDD file.
    3. Observe the dialog(s) that appear.

    Expected Result

    Both alerts are displayed:
    1. The “Embedded Profile Mismatch” dialog appears first.

12. [ID-4272086]TAB indents are getting removed on dragging the left side

    Good morning, I updated InDesign to version 21 and I'm having problems with the tab stops on both PCs. In the tab settings, if I set three tab stops, for example, the first at 10 cm, the second at 20 cm, and the third at 30 cm, if I move the first one, the other two disappear.
    With the beta version, there were no problems. I tried resetting the preferences, but nothing. A technician connected and checked the problem. He said to report the bug.

13. Generative AI Alt Text generated on first image place when turned off in preferences

    M4 Mac on Sequoia 15.7.7

    When Generative AI Alt Text is turned off in preferences, after a complete preferences reset, alt text will be generated and applied to the first placed image or modified image despite the preference being turned off. This happens on a complete replacement of the folder "en_US" in the user library preferences.

    To recreate:
    1) Have someone else on another machine set their preference to have Generative AI Alt Text turned off. Send you their copy of the folder "en_US" (/Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 21.0)
    2) Replace your folder with the shared folder
    3) Open InDesign
    4) Place an image

    What happens:

    -On first image place or modify, Generative AI Alt Text will be generated even though it is turned off in Preferences. There will also be a pop up advertising Generative AI. This will only happen on the first image. Every image that is placed or modified after this will respect the preferences and not apply alt text. When the "en_US" folder is reset again, it will happen again.

    Why this is a problem:
    We work in an Enterprise environment where custom builds and preferences are pushed out to >1K users and a replacement of the "en_US" folder is used to troubleshoot and rebuild for users. We cannot have this feature used on our commercial products and because it looks like this is "off" in the preferences, users may not realize they introduced this into their file.

14. [ID-4258070]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.

15. [ID-4271100]With Application Frame "OFF", Green Maximize Button Doesn't Zoom to Fit Anymore

    ID 21.0
    OSX 15.7.1

    Just updated ID and all the previous docs I've been working on today, are opening in huge windows. It takes a few resizes to scale down the window, then grabbing the bottom right corner to resize the window finally, it's jumping away from the cursor.

    Resizing windows when tiling still does that (as per the previous version/bug), which is also super annoying. Please fix all these bugs!! It's like no one at Adobe uses these products

16. Unable to select multiple objects or key object

    Recently, it is not possible to select some objects or a key object.
    This does not happen with every object - probably only with images.
    I know that this problem has already been reported and you wrote that it has been resolved, in fact it still exists, so I opened a new request.

18. Bug Report and Feature Request for IME Input on macOS When Inline Input Is Disabled

    I would like to report an issue with IME (Input Method Editor) input and request improvements to the way InDesign handles non-Latin text input, such as Japanese.

    1. InDesign Version
       InDesign 21.5.1
       The same issue also occurs in earlier versions.
       Confirmed on macOS 15.7.9, but the issue also occurs on other versions of macOS.

    2. Steps to Reproduce
       a. disable Preferences > Advanced Type > Input Method Options > Use &Inline Input for Non-Latin Text
       b. Using the Type tool, place the text cursor in a story and enter CJK text while text is selected.
       c. Undo the text input.

    3. Expected Result
       The document should return to the state it was in before the text was entered.

    4. Actual Result
       The document does not return to the state it was in before the text was entered.
       The Undo command must be performed three times.

    Additional Information
    1. Performance when Inline Input is enabled
    When a story contains a large amount of text, Apply Inline Input to Non-Latin Text causes input and display updates to become extremely slow.
    For this reason, there are cases where I need to work with this option disabled.

    1. IME window position
       As shown in the attached screenshots, the position of the IME window differs between InDesign 2023 and earlier versions and InDesign 2024 and later versions.
       In both cases, however, the IME window cannot be moved away from the edge of the screen.
       For example, I may place the text cursor in the center of the screen, but the IME window appears at the edge of the screen while I am entering and converting text. This forces me to look back and forth between the cursor position and the edge of the screen, which significantly disrupts the input workflow and is very tiring.

    2. Customizable IME window size and position
       I would like the IME window to be freely resizable and movable by the user.
       Its size and position should also be preserved and restored the next time InDesign is launched.

    インライン入力不使用時の不具合報告と改善要望

    日本語などCJK環境
    で、入力-変換-確定 を行うためのIME（Input Method Editor）に関する不満があり、改善を希望します。

    1. InDesignのバージョン

    InDesign 21.5.1 およびそれ以前のバージョンも同様
    macOS15.7.9 で確認　しかし他のmacOSでも発生

    1. 再現手順

    a. 環境設定 > 高度なテキスト > 入力オプション「ラテン文字以外にインライン入力を適用」のチェックをオフにする
    b. 文字ツールでストーリー内のテキストを選択したまま、和字を入力
    c. 手順bを取り消す

    1. 期待される結果

    ドキュメントはテキストを入力する前の状態に戻ること。

    1. 実際の結果

    ドキュメントはテキストを入力する前の状態に戻らない。
    取り消しが3回必要である。

    その他の情報

    1. インライン入力を有効にした際のパフォーマンス低下
       ストーリーが大量のテキストを含む場合「ラテン文字以外にインライン入力を適用」では入力と表示の更新があまりにも遅くなるため、オフで作業をしたい場合があります。

    2. IMEウィンドウの位置
       添付画像の通り、2023以前と2024以降でIMEウィンドウの出現位置が異なりますが、いずれも画面の端から動かせません。画面の中央にカーソルを立てて、画面の端で文字を入力・変換するため、視点の移動が激しく入力作業が滞ってしまい、とても疲れます。

    3. IMEウィンドウのサイズと位置をカスタマイズ可能にしてほしい
       IMEウィンドウのサイズと位置をユーザーが任意に変形・移動、またそれを次回アプリ起動時にも保持されてほしいです。

    I would like to report an issue with IME (Input Method Editor) input and request improvements to the way InDesign handles non-Latin text input, such as Japanese.

19. 'Save As' doesn't clear the undo stack

    InDesign version: 21.5.1.73

    Saving a document using Save As should clear the undo stack, but InDesign stopped doing that. This is a problem because the over time, the undo stack increases a document's size enormously.

    To reproduce the problem:

    1. Open the attached document. It has three small text frames on page 1: one placed, two duplicates.
    2. Verify the document's undo stack: in the Edit menu you'll see Undo Duplicate. Press Ctrl+Z a few times and the frames are removed.
    3. Use Save As to save the document.

    Expected result: The undo stack should have been removed, Ctrl+Z should do nothing.

    Actual result: The undo stack is not deleted. Ctrl+Z does not remove the frames.

20. When the UI size is not the smallest, the effective area of the function that is forced to scroll when text is entered near the panel will s

    The version that occurred: InDesign 18.3 or later,
    and the previous version is likely to have a similar problem.
    macOS 15.7.8

    Steps to reproduce the issues:
    *Preferences > Enlarge/Reduce UI > Set the UI size to as the minimum
    *Create a text frame
    *Scroll and adjust the document so that the text insertion point comes near the right/bottom of the panel
    *Enter text

    Expected result:
    Text is entered, but inadvertent scrolling does not occur.

    Actual result:
    When you enter text in a position covered by the panel, the function of forcing scrolling works. Due to the influence of the UI scale, there is a shift in the panel area from the upper left corner of the document.
    When the UI size is the maximum, about twice the coordinate area is the area where forced scrolling occurs.
    The same is true for the icon panel.
