1. Moves with arrow keys do not apply to objects if cursor is hovering over a link

   1. Place an image or a PDF in an InDesign file
   2. Create a text frame/shape/any object
   3. Select the object you just created with direct select tool (keep it selected)
   4. Move your mouse to hover over the link so that the center circle link highlight shows. Do not select the linked image, just hover over it.
   5. Press and hold an arrow key to try and move object.

   In CC2024 19.3: If I hover over a link with my mouse, the selected object moves as expected with the arrow keys.

   In CC2025 20.2: If I hover over a link with my mouse, the selected object does not move with the arrow keys. Only when I move my cursor off the link will the selected object move (or jump to catch up to my previous use of the arrow keys)

   This is a very annoying bug as when I'm trying to adjust objects, I'm not consciously picking where I "park" my mouse in my layout as I adjust objects. This slows down work considerably and might unintentionally create errors.

2. fit spread in window

   I want Fit Spread in Window to work, all the time, every time!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using version 21.0.1 on macOS 26.2. This defect has been around for a long time, and many people have complained about it. My office colleagues all have the same issue. It works today, and then not tomorrow. It works for 5 minutes in one file, and then suddenly stops working. A Page layout program should be able to display pages! I want to use Fit Spread in Window every single day, and I am so disappointed that this defect goes on and on and on with every new version of InDesign. Please, for once and for all, fix it.

3. PDF Kommentare und Share for Review angleichen

   Ansich ist das ja eine gute Sache, aber warum unterscheiden sich die Kommentarfunktionen zu denen im Adobe Acrobat.
   wenn ich PDF Kommentare aus einen PDF importiere, kann ich die per Mausklick übernehmen. Bei der überprüfen Funktion geht das nicht.
   Bitte die Kommentarfunktionen aus Acrobat genau so auch im Share for Review übernehmen.

5. Data merge icc

   InDesign 21.0.2
   During a data merge I exported to PDF and chose single pages. Associated PDF ICC profile is a v4, so I received this dialog 100 times -- 1 for each individual page. Probably not necessary.

7. InDesign 20.5 nonresponsive in paragraph/character styles after Windows update KB5065789

   After a Windows 11 update to "September 29, 2025—KB5065789 (OS Builds 26200.6725 and 26100.6725) Preview" InDesign is nonresponsive hanging for minutes at a time trying to navigate menu options in Paragraph Styles and Character Styles.
   The same happens with prior versions of InDesign with this Windows Update.
   Confirmed the problem occurred on two different users/machines, with a new blank document.

   The fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2025(v20.4.1.004). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.

   If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application click on the context menu on the top right, and click on Check for App Updates.

9. InDesign process dies after 3 minutes

   I'm facing the following problem. I'm on a new Windows 11 (24H2) and have Creative Cloud and various apps like Photoshop (26,11), Illustrator (29.8.2) or InDesign (20.5) installed. Every app works fine except InDesign. No matter what INDD file I work on, what menu I'm in or if I just leave the app open showing the start page, after 3 minutes the InDesign.exe dies. I've checked that I have the latest updates, reinstalled it, removed all presettings of previous versions, tried to run as admin and in compatibilty mode. Nothing changes. It runs 3 minutes and then suddenly dies. In Windows event logs is nothing reported around that moment so I have no clues, what's the reason.

10. Stuck on adding font, other background task get stuck in queue that never clears

    Occasionally I open a document that tries to add fronts in background, it fails then the task is added to Background Tasks and hangs indefinitely. Then if I try to export a PDF, it is added to background tasks but will not progress until the fonts are added, which they never finish loading.

12. When opening a new file, I cannot enter custom width and height numbers.

    I'm using Windows 11, version 25H2, and InDesign version 21.0.2.
    I find it very strange and inconvenient that, while I can enter custom width and height in Adobe Illustrator (version 30.0), I can't do so in InDesign.
    My keyboard is working fine.

13. When exporting to pdf documents are appearing glitched - 2026 update

    Recently updated Indesign to the 2026 version and so has the rest of the team in my company. We import a lot of InDesign files into our other InDesign documents so when the original file gets updated, we are able to easily relink the document . We have had to go through and convert all the InDesign files to the 2026 version but this is where it gets tricky. If I have converted or updated an original file and re-link it to my document, I have no issues when converting my document to a pdf. All images appear clear etc. If my colleague then goes and uses one of these updated files in her document and coverts it to pdf, the pages are all glitched unless she personally goes in and updates the original file again. This is causing major issues because we have to update the original file every time we both want to use it in our document.

14. The first letter typed in is English even when my system is set to Hebrew

    I'm using Indesign 20.5 on an Intel Mac Pro running Mac OS Sequoia 15.6.
    Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:
    1. Insert a new text box and enter some English text.
    2. Select the text
    3. Change the keyboard input to Hebrew.
    4. Start typing in Hebrew.

    The resulting text will be an English letter (corresponding to the Hebrew letter typed in) followed by the correct Hebrew letters typed.
    Two things to note:
    1. You must select all the text in the text box for this issue to take place.
    2. For some reason Adobe fonts are immune to this issue

15. selecting text boxes

    InDesign 20.2 Mac M1 Sequoia 15.4.1. When I click a text box to select it, nothing happens until I jiggle the mouse. When this happens the corner boxes appear. However, many times when I click, nothing appears selected. This bug is unsettling. This is why I prefer to use InDesign 19 for important jobs. The text block in the attached screen shot has been single clicked.

16. Deformation under proportional scaling

    We have a "round box" object. The dimensions along the x and y axes are the same. The page is in "rotated by 90°" mode. I move this circle to a corner so that it partially extends beyond the dimensions of the page. Then we scale it while holding down the shift key. At the same time, smart guides are turned on. The edges of the circle begin to deform, trying to stick to some reference line. As a result, the dimensions of the circle along the axes become unequal. The difference is only after the decimal point, but it is there.

19. Text Shifting

    Hello, our team has been having an issue of text randomly shifting within the text box. The entire baseline appears to shift down whenever I type in the text box, whenever I do find/ replace text, and when pasting within the text box. The Text frame options remain the same but the text appears to shift. Sometimes only half the text shifting down. This is mainly happening with a text box that is turned sideways in banners we have on the page. This seems to happen across all documents new and old. This is on version 21.0.2
