Adobe Review: automatic adoption of text suggestions and incorrect filter behavior
When I receive comments on replacing text or deleting text sections via Adobe Review and these are displayed in Adobe InDesign 20.0, the display switches to comments with the status clarified. After each correction, which cannot be accepted with approval but must be made manually, I have to set the filter in the control panel back to unresolved comments to work on.
It would be desirable for a filter to only be set in the control panel when I activate it. I would also like options for inserting, replacing or deleting text to be applied with a click and not…1 vote -
Not working window tiling introduced in macOS 15
MacOS 15 Sequoia introduced window tiling, which lets you arrange windows on the screen in tiles.
This automatically works for any window of any app on my Mac. It also works for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator windows, as long as «Application Frame» is activated in the window menu.
But window tiling does not work with windows of Adobe InDesign v20. Even with active «Window Frame».

Inserting PDF-comments removes OpenType superscript formatting of endnote references
When a PDF-comment is accepted and inserted into the text, the formatting of the following endnote reference(s) with OpenType superscript position is removed.
This applies only to numbers with at least two digits and affects only the last digit(s). When another PDF-comment is inserted into the Paragraph, the problem occurs again.
The formatting is applied through a Character Style and while the Character Style remains applied, the formatting of the OpenType superscript position is visually removed.
A workaround is to apply the Character Style to the character(s) following the endnote reference. This is not always possible, so often the thinnest…

View on open document fades to pure grey (i.e. the chosen background color)
Happens frequently, mostly after some actions just after the opening of the app. See attached screenshot with applied "select all" command to show something.
Temporary solution: Reopen document. But that is still irritating for a mature application.

InDesign 20.0 neihter packaging next to the source file nor replacing images from the original folder
i'm suffering from a weird problem: nothing wants to use the original folder except the export command. When i try to replace an image the program navigates me to the last used folder unless i've chosen the Original folder option in the Preferences under File Handling menu. Same issue when i try to package a document.
I've tried to delete all the preferences. ALL of them. I've emptied all the cache. ALL. Uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign: the newly installed app tried to package into the last used folder (!?). The Preferences>File Handling> Default Relink folder menu does nothing. I can…

Layers not exporting properly to PDF (v20.0 2025)
Before the 20.0 2025 update I had a simple ID file with multiple layers. I exported with PDF 1.5 presets, Create Acrobat Layers checked and Export Layers: All Layers chosen. All layers visible in the PDF and opens up in AI as expected, with layers.
Since the update, same file, same presets etc. I export and all layers still visible in Acrobat, but does not open in AI properly. Instead all laters in one layer, as paths.

"Visual Cursor Movement" not working in Arabic in ID 19/19.01
On previous versions of ID with Arabic support, I could press left arrow to move cursor left, right arrow to move right. In versions 19 and 19.01, the cursor goes to the beginning or next line of Arabic text. So I have to select 'Logical Cursor Movement' under settings but now cursor move the opposite way: left arrow moves cursor right.
