1. [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.

3. [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:

   • We have reproduced one scenario in which the existence of the Documents Font Folder and Contextual Task bar results in some slowness.
   • Other workflows causing slowness are being investigated - 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
   • Switching between tools
   • "Waiting for UXP plugins to finish up remaining tasks."

   Workaround:

   • Disable Contextual Task Bar or remove Documents Font Folder
   • Close the MAGNET application
   • Revert to InDesign 19.5, No performance lag is observed.
   • Restarting the machine and trashing the preferences seems to resolve the issue temporarily
   • 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
      • Apple Max Studio M1/M2/M3
      • Apple Mac mini M1/i7 Intel
   3. The issue exists for both old and new documents

   Additional information needed:

   1. Are you opening the indd documents from the folder containing the Documents Font Folder?
   2. Is the "Contextual Task bar" shown? If yes, Disable it from "Window->Contextual Task bar"
   3. Screenshot of Memory usage while the issue is observed
   4. Please follow the below steps for InDesign 20.0.1.32 and InDesign PR 20.1.066 on Macintosh
      • Open Terminal in full-screen mode
      • Drag the InDesign application on the terminal (e.g. "/Applications/Adobe\ InDesign\ 2025/Adobe\ InDesign\ 2025.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ InDesign\ 2025")
      • Copy the logs when you start facing the slowness in a text(.txt) file. Share the file with us at sharewithID@adobe.com.

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-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)

7. [ID-4257175]Pages Panel: Buttons are hidden behind page number text when window is thin

   When the pages panel is as thin as possible, the buttons such as delete page are behind the text that says the number of pages. It is therefore not possible to click on the buttons. I always use this panel in a thin band, and it is now less practical.

   Version: InDesign 20.0.0

9. [ID-4259367]Error handling dialog shown while placing some TIFF/EPS files

   Error encountered while reading TIFF image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again.

   After I upgraded InDesign 19.5.1 to 19.5.2. Linked images do not show on the page in high quality display settings. I have about 60 linked indesign files into my one file. And I was afraid to upgrade to 20.1 and from Sonoma to Sequoia. Any fixes for this? Perhaps get rid of some of the links.. too many links? 60? 2 page document. Newer M2 MacBook Air.

   Edit: Update: Downgraded back to 19.5.1. Everything is working perfectly. Thanks Adobe for allowing very easy downgrades. EXCELLENT.

10. [ID-4256547] 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.

11. [ID-4257732]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.

    InDesign freezes when you close a document. We cannot open any documents, no action can be performed in InDesign. InDesign cannot be quit, it has to Forced Kill.

    Many internal as well as external factors can cause the InDesign application to crash/freeze/hang. A few workarounds are listed at Fix crash issues with InDesign.

    We completed the investigation and came up with the following: Either the issue has been resolved in the most recent release of InDesign (Refer to InDesign Release notes), the issue was intermittent at the time of reporting and is no longer reproducible, or the InDesign version mentioned in the report is no longer covered by Creative Cloud Support Policy.

    We would recommend you upgrade to the latest version as it is more robust. If you are still facing this issue even after updating it, either submit the crash report(Refer to Submitting crash reports) to us or Contact Adobe support.

14. [ID-4256546]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.

    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。

15. [ID-4257735]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.

    Hi,

    Thank you for reporting the issue. It is currently under investigation.

16. 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.

17. QR-code color does not get updated with changed color swatch

    If I change a colour in the Swatches Panel that has been used in a QR-Code, the QR code does not automatically update. I have to open the “Edit QR-Code” options dialogue to validate the colour (select it again). As you can see in the screenshot, the changed colour is selected but not reflected in the QR-Code that it has been applied to.

    The expected result would be that that the QR-code color updates as soon as the color swatch has been changed.

18. Can't apply colour swatches in swatches pallette

    Indesign version 20.0.1
    Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1

    Steps:
    1. Create or open a document
    2. Create or select any text box or picture box
    3. Select any colour in the Swatches panel
    4. The colour swatch will hilite for a second when clicked, but then deselects and the colour is NOT applied to the object
    5. Same is true for text: Cannot apply any colour to text using the Swatches panel.
    6. Using the "Color" panel however does allow you to apply colours using CMYK or other spaces.

    Additional Notes:
    - Already tried manually deleting caches and preference files from user library
    - Already tried command-option-control-shift while starting Indesign to delete preferences
    - Rebooted Mac several times and also zapped PRAM
    - Only started happening today (I think Indesign was auto-updated by CC)
