1. Image containers deselects everything else

   The usual workflow is to select multiple assets and move them across the page with one click and drag. In this case I have 3 elements—a graphic container that has a photo pasted inside; beneath it a shape and a text box on top.
   The bug is that when I have all three selected and I click on the image container, everything else gets deselected and only the image container remains selected (as if I clicked on it for the first time).
   The workaround is to select all 3 elements and click on the text box or the shape in order to move them all.

   The same happens when I want to align elements to graphic containers—I can select 2+ elements but as soon as I select the graphic container to be the parent to which the other graphics should align to, everything gets deselected. Doesn't happen with shapes and text boxes.

   Using Adobe InDesign 21.4 on MacOS Tahoe 26.5.1.

   This happened after the latest InDesign update.

2. InDesign Relink Search do not find files on SMB share

   We're experiencing an issue when attempting to relink missing assets stored on an SMB network share.

   Environment

   Adobe InDesign (Latest Version)

   Files stored on an SMB network share.

   macOS (Fully up to date)

   The Problem

   When a linked file is missing and we choose Relink in InDesign, searching for the filename returns no results, even though the file exists on the SMB share.

   However:

   Finder can locate the file immediately.

   Spotlight also finds the file without any issues.

   Screenshot 1 Attached – InDesign Relink search returns no results

   What We Have Tried

   We found a script that can be run from within InDesign. When the script performs a search of the same SMB share, it successfully finds the missing files.

   This suggests that InDesign itself can access the share, but the built-in Relink search is behaving differently from the script.

   Script Details

   Network issue accessing images | https://community.adobe.com/questions-671/network-issue-accessing-images-840124

   Screenshot 2 Attached– Script successfully returns search results

   Questions

   Has anyone encountered this behaviour before?

   We're looking for a solution that would allow InDesign's relink process to locate files on an SMB share. Possible solutions could include:

   A preference or macOS setting we've overlooked.

   An enhanced version of the script that could automate the relinking process after locating the files.

   A third-party plug-in or utility that improves the Relink workflow with network shares.

   All suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

3. Duplicated layers when placing Illustrator files

   When an Illustrator file is placed in InDesign, the tab with Layer options shows multiple versions of the same layers. The number of layers is multiplied by the number of artboards.

   I see this issue with newly created Illustrator files. The older .ai files are placed correctly.

   InDesign 20.5
   Illustrator 29.8.1
   macOS

5. multiple files not placing correctly when placing multi-page pdf into frames

   I found this error posted as a bug; since that post was from 2022 with a version of inDesign well past I'm making a new post.
   Adobe InDesign version 21.4.1
   I need to impose several 2 sided cards for printing.
   File>Place... Select multiple pdfs - Open
   Place PDF - Choose All under Pages - Repeat for all placed items (doing 4 in my example)

   OK so in recording for this post I figured out that if I place on to blank pages, this didn't happen -- all pages of all 4 pdfs placed for 8 total. If I do my usual habit of placing the crop marks and a frame on a parent page, then place my multiple pdfs into frames on the main pages so I can step and repeat them all, it SKIPS EVERY OTHER PDF. :( Placing into an empty frame ensured correct placement and saved me a step.

   The unplaced pdf files show up in the links menu but are otherwise in an inaccessible limbo.

6. OGNI VOLTA CHE INSERISCO UN IMMAGINE SI BLOCCA

   Buongiorno, riscontro un blocco totale (il programma non risponde o va in crash) ogni volta che provo a inserire un'immagine in InDesign tramite il comando 'Importa'. Sto usando Windows, i file grafici (JPG/PNG) sono salvati localmente sul mio hard disk C: e il problema si presenta anche su documenti nuovi e vuoti. Desidero assistenza per risolvere questo bug in quanto mi è fondamentale questo programma. Ho scaricato indesign 2026, ho fatto l'aggiornamento 11 giorni fa

8. text missing

   Hi,

   System:
   MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) Apple M1 Pro 16 GB RAM macOS Sonoma 14.6.1
   
   InDesign 2026

   When I open this file in InDesign 2026, the document opens, but the text and graphics are not visible on several pages.

   I don’t know when exactly this happened. I didn’t notice any crash, error message, or problem while saving the file.

   What I have tried:

   • Switched between GPU and CPU Preview — no change.
   • Changed the display settings — no change.
   • Opened the file in InDesign 2025. After conversion, some of the text and graphics become visible, but a lot of the content is still missing.

   I still have the original INDD file and have not overwritten it.

11. SVG arrows point the wrong direction, so fix that

    We rely on SVG for our technical diagrams, but InDesign renders them incorrectly. For some reason, all arrowheads point due east in InDesign, regardless of the alignment of the line they reside on.

    Every browser I tried renders the attached SVG correctly. Let's get this fixed, guys. Thanks...

    Wait, you can't attach an SVG here? That's brilliant, Adobe. It's a fundamental format in the domain of these applications. So let me spend my time zipping files up...

    OK, no Zip files either? WTF? I can't wait to banish Adobe from our firm. Absolutely disrespectful, customer-robbing trash.

12. Unable to deselect image in latest update

    When selected multiple boxes (image, text, graphic etc.) In the latest update (21.4) I am unable to deselect the image box using shift if there is an image placed which I used to be able to do. I am currently selecting what I need manually which is a pain when dealing with lots of elements.

13. CC Libraries thumbnail transparency

    In InDesign 2026, CC Libraries does not correctly preview transparent white vector assets. “Show Transparency Grid” only displays the transparency grid outside the asset’s bounding box. The area inside the bounding box remains white, making white logos and icons invisible. For example, a round white logo is shown as a blank white square. The asset is transparent when placed in the document, so the issue affects the CC Libraries thumbnail only. Local InDesign Libraries show the object contours in the layer color, but CC Libraries offer no comparable visibility option.

    Would prefer either:
    - A transparent box with white preview only of the asset.
    - A contour of the asset in the layer colour (like in local libraries, so you can see the outline of the asset).

    In attachment, icon is added into the library in white (wit) and black (zwart).
    Black one is visible, white one is not.

14. Bug de l'outil de révision

    Bonjour à tous.
    Depuis ce jour, je rencontre un problème très pénible avec l'outil de révision. Un décalage s'est produit entre les marques de révisions qui avaient été créées et les pages auxquelles elles étaient attachées... De plus tout les révisions avec du texte sélectionné ou barré sont parties se logées en haut à gauche de la planche concernées... Un truc de fou qui me met bien dans l'embarras pour faire le gros travail de correction que j'ai à faire....

16. Severe image rendering corruption in InDesign on MacBook Pro M4 after macOS update

    Description:

    I am experiencing intermittent but repeatable image rendering corruption in Adobe InDesign on a brand-new 14-inch MacBook Pro (M4).

    Symptoms:

    Linked raster images (JPEG/PNG/PSD) initially display correctly.
    After a short period of working, the images become corrupted on screen.
    The corruption appears as vertical coloured lines, stretched pixels and black areas replacing the image content.
    Vector objects and text remain unaffected.
    The corruption affects multiple placed images within the document.
    Relinking the affected image restores it temporarily, but the corruption returns.
    The issue occurs across multiple InDesign documents.

    Additional observations:

    Photoshop has also displayed occasional graphical glitches.
    The issue started after installing the latest macOS update.
    GPU Performance has been disabled in InDesign with no improvement.
    Adobe Creative Cloud, InDesign and Photoshop are fully up to date.
    Files are stored on the internal SSD (not an external drive or cloud storage).
    Projects are packaged with local linked assets.
    Exported PDFs appear normal

    Hardware:

    MacBook Pro 14-inch M4
    Apple silicon
    Latest version of macOS

    Diagnostics already completed:

    Apple Mac Resource Inspector — Passed
    Apple Display Anomalies — Passed
    No hardware faults detected.

    Request:
    Could you advise whether this is a known compatibility issue between the latest version of macOS and InDesign, or if there are additional graphics-related settings or patches I should apply?

17. Linked image within illustrator file not appearing when placed in indesign

    Using:
    InDesign 21.1
    Link created in Illustrator 30.2.1

    I have a map created in Illustrator with a background (flattened) tiff which displays fine in Illustrator. Once placed into InDD, the tiff won't appear (layer is ON and printing) and doesn't get included in exports (thus eliminating a rendering issue of any kind).
    This has happened on 2 separate files but is fine in others with the same set-up.
    On occasion the tiff will reappear...
    This is a recent 'development' in past 2 weeks.

18. links

    In InDesign 2026 21.2, when opening an .indd document in a package folder, the links cannot be found in the Links folder, even though it is in the correct location.
    Opening the .idml file in InDesign 2026 21.2 works.
    Opening the .idml file in InDesign 2025 20.5.2 works normaly, and saving the document as .indd from InDesign 2025 and then opening it in InDesign 2026 works again.
    This is therefore a serious bug in InDesign 2026.
