1. InDesign hangs constantly during normal editing with no CPU spike, on very fast win. 11 laptop with plenty of memory and drive space.

   When using InDesign normally (editing text, copying, pasting, rearranging objects, etc.). I am not saving, exporting, or anything, CPU does not spike, there is plenty of memory and disk space, it is a new high end laptop, it is plugged in, there are no power save features on.

   This didn't happen on my older win 10 machine and in older versions of InDesign.

   This SEVERELY interrupts workflows as it happens at least once every 15 min or so if not more.

2. Show Import Options no longer remains enabled

   The “Show Import Options” checkbox does not remain enabled in the “Place” dialog. In some cases, it stays checked for one or two items, but when importing more than that, the option is automatically deselected.

   Previously, this setting remained enabled. While this may appear to be a minor issue, it causes significant inconvenience and seriously disrupts the workflow.

5. New image replacement functionality

   InDesign question. I work with placeholder images quite often in low resolution (LR). I then need to replace them with the high resolution (HR) versions once approved. This was always a simple task of replacing the LR image with the new HR image via the links panel. The new image would replace the old exactly, no resizing required. Since the latest update this is not the case. The new image comes in at completely the wrong size and I have to go through the document to rework EVERY image. As you can imagine this is very frustrating. Why has this change happened. It is not useful.

   On querying this with the chatbot I was given this work around but it's not useable when faced with bulk image replacement. This is something that was so streamlined and useful and is now a complete time sump. Very frustrated.

   This change is related to how InDesign handles image frames and content scaling. When you replace an image, InDesign now respects the actual dimensions and resolution of the new image rather than automatically fitting it to the previous image's frame. This means the new HR image may have different pixel dimensions or aspect ratio, so it doesn't automatically scale to the old image's size.

   To manage this and maintain consistent sizing when replacing images:

   Use the Links panel to replace the image by selecting the low resolution image and clicking Relink.

   After relinking, if the new image size is incorrect, select the image frame.

   Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) while dragging a corner handle to scale both the frame and content proportionally.

   Alternatively, use the Auto-Fit option on the frame to ensure the content scales with the frame.

   For precise control, use the Transform panel to enter exact scale percentages or dimensions.

   This behavior ensures that the image quality and resolution are preserved and that you have control over how the new image fits within your layout. To avoid unexpected resizing, always check the frame fitting options and scaling settings after replacing images.

   Can we at least have a choice on import to honour original scaling please?

6. AdjustLayoutPreference Object Properties Not Working in InDesign 2025 & 2026 Scripts

   Hi All,

   I am using Indesign 2025 and 2026; I would like to enable the "Adjust Layout" option in my documents through the Indesign scripting by using "AdjustLayoutPreferences" object properties as in InDesign ExtendScript API Model, but Indesign throwed error is "Eval Error (#55): "Object does not support the property or method 'adjustLayoutPreferences'".

   below is my code:

   var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
   try {
   myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.enableLayoutAdjustment=true;
   myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.allowGraphicsToResize=false;
   myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.allowRulerGuidesToMove=false;
   myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.ignoreObjectOrLayerLocks=true;
   myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.ignoreRulerGuideAlignments=true;
   myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.snapZone = 0;
   } catch (error) {
   myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAutoAdjustMargins=true;
   myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAdjustLayout=true;
   myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.allowLockedObjectsToAdjust=true;
   myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAdjustLayout=true;
   }

   Could someone please check and suggest, how to resolve this issue?

   Regards,
   Mani

8. copy something with a shadow from one document moves the shadows randomly

   in the version 21.0 of Indesign when you copy something with a shadow from one document into another and moves it the shadows move to random positions. Workaround: You need to select them manually deactivate and activate them to get them back at the right position.

10. Adobe InDesign 2026 doesn't play well with 2025

    It's absolutely ridiculous to me that the 2025 version and 2026 version are incompatible with each other. I can't open old files easily with the new software. I can't drag and drop items from an older file to a new file. The functionality is absolutely awful. Do better.

14. Can't Resize Vertical or Horizontal Line If Width Is Zero. Angled Lines with Zero Width Can Be Resized

    This happens when I create a horizontal or vertical line using the "shift" key, then try to resize the line using the selection tool and mouse.

    This issue is present on InDesign 21.1 x64. My operating system is Windows 11. I have no InDesign Plugins installed.

    I have experienced this issue on two different computers. The problem is not present on older versions of InDesign.

    PROBLEM: When resizing a horizontal or vertical line, such as is created when holding down the 'shift' key, and that line has zero width, the line visually appears to change, then snaps back to its original length when the mouse is released.

    If I attempt to change the length of the line using the "L:" box in the toolbar, a pop-up dialog box appears that says "Unable to set bounding box."

    EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: The line changes size.

    EXTRA INFO THAT MIGHT HELP:

    If I create an angled zero-width line, it is resizable as expected, BUT if I rotate a horizontal or vertical zero width line, then attempt to resize, the resize fails with the same behavior.

    If I change the width of the line to anything other than zero, I can resize the line as expected in all cases.

    If I create a horizontal or vertical line with a width other than zero, I can resize the line, but if I change the width to zero, the line won't resize as described above.

    It doesn't matter if I check or uncheck the "Constrain Proportions for Width and Height" toggle.

    It doesn't matter if I check or uncheck the "Constrain Proportions for scaling" toggle.

    If I hold down "shift" while resizing, the problem still exists.

    If I hold down "ctrl" I can scale the line, which works for resizing

    If I hold down "ctrl+shift" I can scale the line with fixed proportions, which does let me resize.

    This get really weird when I try to resize a group of objects that contains zero width line. Sometime the resize fails, sometimes some part of the group change, but never the line. I don't have a consistent set of behaviors that I can describe when it comes to grouping.

    This happens when I create a horizontal or vertical line using the "shift" key, then try to resize the line using the selection tool and mouse.

    This issue is present on InDesign 21.1 x64. My operating system is Windows 11. I have no InDesign Plugins installed.

    I have experienced this issue on two different computers. The problem is not present on older versions of InDesign.

15. unable to share indesign file via InCopy beta for editing.

    Unable to share an indesign file via InCopy beta for editing. User has created a free adobe account. This feature was recently demonstrated at the Creative Pro InDesign online conference and touted as being available for non-paid adobe account holders (you just need to create a free account to use) but this does not appear to be true at all. User created a free account but cannot access the InCopy document without doing a trial (resulting in paying for InCopy).

16. “Fit frame to content” no longer works in InDesign 21.1

    Version:
    Adobe InDesign 21.1 (macOS)

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open any document in InDesign 21.1
    2. Select a text frame or an image frame
    3. Press Option + Command + C (Fit Frame to Content)

    Expected result:
    The selected frame resizes to fit its content.

    Actual result:
    Nothing happens. The shortcut does not execute.
    The command is still listed in Keyboard Shortcuts and cannot be removed.
    Double-clicking the bottom-center resize handle still works.

    Notes:
    This is a regression from previous InDesign versions.
    The issue affects both text frames and image frames.

18. IDML export breaks structure when there is a tagged single row table at the start of a story

    When exporting an InDesign document to IDML and re-opening it, a specific set of conditions causes the tag applied to a table to be incorrectly reordered in the XML structure, and an extraneous <Table> tag to be inserted.

    This issue occurs when the table is a single-row table and is the very first element in the story (no preceding text or content). This bug disrupts the intended tag hierarchy, breaking workflows that depend on accurate XML structure.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Create a new InDesign document.
    2. Create a text frame on the page.
    3. Within the text frame, insert a table.
    4. a. Ensure the table is the very first element in the story (before any other text or content).
    5. b. Set the table to have only one row.
    6. Apply a tag to the table (in my example CustomTable).
    7. Export to IDML
    8. Open the IDML
    9. Open the Structure Panel and examine the structure. You will observe the following:
    10. a. The "CustomTable" tag now appears before a <Table> tag representing the table. The expected order is the <CustomTable> tag encapsulating, the cells.
    11. b. The "CustomTable" tag is before the actual table in the story, without any content inside of it.

    Expected Result:
    The structure of the document should be maintained after exporting to IDML and re-opening.

    Actual Result:
    The custom tag appears before the table and a <Table> tag is added to the structure, disrupting the intended structure of the XML.

    Environment:
    InDesign 2024 (19.5)
    InDesign 2025 (20.1)
    Windows 11

19. Text Frame Autosize

    Hello,
    I tried to update a Text Frame Object style to have the Text Frame Autosize Height and Width but it squishes the text box as thin and possible. But it repects the existing text without squishing when it's only Autosize Width. I've noticed it before but it's an interesting bug. I did play around with the placement reference point but it all stayed squished. Not a major bug and it could be user error on my part if there is a setting elsewhere I need to click to get it to just resize the text box to fit the existing text.

    Thank you for the video.

    The Align/Paragraph alignment action only forces a screen redraw.
    It does not solve the root problem.

    The issue is that text randomly disappears from the layout view while still existing in the Story Editor.

    Forcing redraw via Align, Preview toggle, zoom or Story Editor proves this is a rendering bug, not a workflow issue.

    This makes real-world editorial layout (magazines, multi-frame text) unreliable.

    Please escalate this to the InDesign engineering team as a rendering / text redraw defect on Windows 11.
