1. [ID-4273319] InDesign 2026 shows Damaged document when opening previous version documents from Synology NAS

   InDesign 2026 says that my documents are damaged.
   All documents that are on my Synology NAS. Connected via SMB3.
   (InDesign 2025 works fine.)

   If I quit and restart InDesign 2026 - I can open one file once. Alla files after that is "damaged".
   New file created with InDesign 2026 and saved on NAS works.
   Looks like the issue is with documents from previous version that opens as "converted".
   Only happens on NAS. Not on local files.

   Workaround: Copy indd file to your local drive, open, save and upload back to its original location

2. align tool and moving groups

   Mac OS 26.5
   Indesign 21.4
   Something has gone wrong with the align to object tool. It has stopped working. If I select a group of objects, then try to select the 'align to' object, nothing happens. It's as if the feature isn't there.
   Also selecting multiple objects and dragging an image box de-selects them all. If I drag a text box, this seems to work.

3. [ID-4243320] Incorrect cursor movement in RTL text when Harfbuzz text shaping is used.

   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)

4. AI Alt-text generation german InDesign

   Since InDesign 21.2 Alttext can be generated by AI.
   Even if this does not work in a german version, the german interface for defining Alt-text looks destroyed.
   The input window is to large and has no frame on the right side.
   The text description for AI is to lang and cut off.

5. [ID-4276616][Win]InDesign 21.x does not launch after Windows update due to corrupt VCRuntime

   Indesign and some other products are failing to open, and it all related to the Microsoft C++ Redistributable, we just have to repair it and it starts working again.
   Please work with Microsoft on the issue, something is happening that is making it very very hard to manage and work with InDesign because of the problem. I think it is happening with other Adobe products too

   Microsoft Support request number: 2602270030003886

   Impact

   Cumulative update appears to be removing the msvcp140.dll, vcruntime140.dll and vcruntime140_1.dll from the C:\Windows\System32 directory

   Investigations currently by Microsoft

   The investigation is currently ongoing with both the Microsoft VC++ team and the MSI development team. Current findings indicate multiple contributing factors behind the reported VC runtime corruption and installation issues.

   Details requested by Microsoft to be collected by customer

   Capture additional logging via the [Introduction to TroubleShootingScript toolset (TSS) - Windows Client | Microsoft ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/windows-tss/introduction-to-troubleshootingscript-toolset-tss), to generate a DND_SetupReport and share it with sharewithID@adobe.com

   • Download and unzip toolset from:  https://aka.ms/getTSS
   • Launch an elevated Powershell prompt
   • Run the following to ensure the script can be executed: Set-ExecutionPolicy -scope Process -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force
   • Capture the installation data by running the tss script as follows: .\TSS.ps1 -Collectlog DND_SetupReport
   • Zip the resulting C:\MS_DATA folder containing the files, and upload to the File Transfer site.

6. 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.

7. [ID-4273456] Press the opt/alt key after dragging, it duplicated to the incorrect layer

   InDesign 2026 （and earlier, too）I was found out in CS6.

   Issue:
   When drag and duplicate any object, the duplicate destination will be the previous active layer under certain conditions.

   Reproduction procedure:
   1 Layer panel "Paste Remembers Layers" check off
   2 Unselect, and duplicate the object Activate layers other than the layers of the object
   3 Start dragging and add the option/alt key in the middle of dragging
   4 After dragging, the object is duplicated to the layer that was active in step 2

   Ideal result:
   The uplication by dragging will be duplicated to the same layer as the original regardless of any setting.

   I really hope to correct it.
   Regards.

8. (InDesign)Problem with metadata after conversion v15 to v20

   After converting some old .indd files to v20 from v15 I see that custom metadata is completely wrong. I’d assume that during conversion InDesign finds old metadata packets and set incorrect values
   Here is the cimpress:Id value we have before conversion which is correct(pic1)

   But after conversion to v20(v19 works correct) I got something like this(pic2):
   To convert the file you need to simply open BEFORE_CONVERSION.indd in v20 Indesign

   Expected result is cimpress:Id have same value as pic1.png
   Actual result is pic2.png
   Is it possible to fix conversion process somehow, because it breaks a lot of flows and makes migration to the new InDesign versions impossible?

9. [ID-4280504] AI Generated Alt Text overrode existing Alt Text

   Newly launched 'Automatic AI Generated Alt Text' overrode all my existing custom alt text, which is incredibly frustrating. Although it's an interesting feature it it should NOT change existing alt text. And now I have to redo it because I don't see any history of what I had.

10. spinning wheel effing up programme v21.3

    This just started randomly happening in the middle of a working day and now won't go away.

    The spinning wheel appears when working on a file (normally placing images). I can close the job, but I cannot save (unless I "save as" again), cannot undo anything, and other menu items are greyed out as well. The programme won't close, and I have to force quit. Making it impossible to get through a job.

    No background tasks are appearing.

    I have had two remote sessions with Adobe agents, and both times they did something different that was supposed to "fix" the problem. Still having the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1st fix (completely uninstalled everything Adobe related on my computer and reinstalled everything. All preferences and saved settings removed. DIDN'T WORK

    2nd fix - updating graphics card that was out of date. Worked for the rest of the day and then started the following day again.
    The jobs are not large, and the graphics are not complex.

    ADOBE FIX YOUR PROGRAMMES PROPERLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11. [BUG] Generative AI Alt Text setting will turn itself on when importing user settings

    ​
    Hello, 
     

    This is my 2nd day this week posting a very frustrating bug on InDesign and I consider this one far worse. In trying to figure out a bug with workspaces on Monday, I exported my current settings, reset InDesign preferences, and imported my settings back in. 

     

    I did not check the settings. I should have. The generate AI Alt-text box had been rechecked, and I had NEVER manually done that. I have recreated this issue more than 5+ in a row by:

     

    1. Resetting my InDesign preferences to the default and restarting.
    2. Reopening InDesign, checking off both Generative AI boxes in preferences
    3. Export those settings, reset preferences back to default on reset, and reopen InDesign
    4. When you reopen InDesign and import your preferences (they should be default with both Gen-AI boxes UNCHECKED), the “Auto-generate Alt Text when placing images” WILL BE TURNED ON EVERY TIME WITHOUT FAIL.

     
    I cannot explain how upset I am by this bug. I am nearly insisting this broken and destructive feature be pulled from the app because it has only been a nuisance for most users I have spoken to. If there is n feature that can automatically affect 100+ photos in a document, why is there not a feature to automatically remove any changes? Why on earth to I have to manually fix the AI’s mistake that I didn’t even ask for???

     

    I spent the past 3 days working on files that now have had AI Alt text generated for them without me knowing. I have had those settings off since they first came out. 

     

    I have absolutely no way to know which files have been affected because AFAIK there is no history log.

     

    BONUS TIME!!

     

    I would also love to point out that the Alt-text tag is affected by layers. If your photo bleeds behind an object, the alt text symbol will be hidden. Maybe this is not new, but almost feels like another step to further hide AI alt text generation from users. 

     

     

    This bug has pretty much broken me on this problem and made me furious. Are there even bug testers for these features? I am a designer, not a software engineer, yet this is my second InDesign bug found this week that has seriously impacted my workflow and made me take time out of my work day to address it. I am furious. At this point I feel I deserve compensation lmao.

    Need More Info  ·  AdminSanyam Talwar (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

    Thank you for contacting us and bringing the issue in the latest release of Adobe InDesign to our attention. We sincerely regret the inconvenience this has caused and fully understand how disruptive such interruptions can be to your workflow.

    Our preliminary analysis indicates that this issue may be an isolated scenario. We have identified a workaround that can help resolve the issue.

    Please rename the following folders:

    – Rename the CEP folder to CEP.old from:

    • macOS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe

    • Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe

    If that doesn't help, rename the UXP folder to UXP.old from:

    • macOS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe and ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe

    • Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe

    Once done, relaunch InDesign and check again.

13. InDesign 21.1 x64 on PC: panels not expanding when clicking on the icon

    Panels sometimes do not expand when clicking on an icon in the right-hand column of panels. It seems random. Sometimes the panel you choose expands when you click on the icon (as it should), but sometimes you have to click the two little chevrons pointing leftward at the top of the column of icons, which makes them all expand and it's a mess to work with. Only the one you click on should expand, but sometimes it doesn't.

    This isn't a new bug. There were previous submissions about this and the issue was supposedly resolved, but it is NOT. The comments are closed, so I couldn't comment on there that the issue is not resolved. This has been happening ever since the first upgrade at the beginning of the year. I'm on the latest update and still having this issue.

14. Tiny bug within the German UI: GREP style sub menu is missing "aus"

    Please add the German word " aus" (more correct: a space and the word aus) after "Mehrere Zeilen" in the GREP style sub menu within the German InDesign.

    This " aus" (= "off") is missing since at least v2016!

    Screenshot 1 shows the english version, srceenshot 2 how it should look like in German(of course not in red color).

    Since my update to v21.4 today, InDesign 2026 has been crashing on me every 5 minutes - once was under a minute of opening, while I was reading about a missing font.
    I want to roll back to previous version

16. [ID-4265002][ExtendScript] Folder.execute() no longer works in Indesign 20.4

    Folder.execute() no longer reveals the folder and activate the Finder. It does nothing. Tested on Indesign 20.4 on MacOS 15.5.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Run this ExtendScript:

    
        Folder.desktop.execute();
    
    

    Expected result: activating the Finder, revealing the Desktop folder.

    Actual result: nothing.

    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.

17. AI content labelling

    Hi, I just opened indesign to see my own work labelled as AI generated. I haven't used any AI tools to produce any of my data, yet it appears as such in many instances. Are these metadata stores upon export too? How is Adobe going to address this? This basically robs me of my copyrights. Would appreciate if this was only toggle on/off feature, and not the default.
    Cheers,
    Tomas

18. [ID-4270896] Workspace resets every time I open (InDesign 2026)

    On the new InDesign (v21.0) all of my workspaces have been reset and aren't saving properly every time I open a new document. I even set up my docked tabs and tab groups and saved them to a NEW workspace within a fresh 2026 file, and it reset to a default state next time it's opened. It seems to ignore all of the tools I've chosen to remove from their tab groups and opens with all of the default tools within those tab groups.

    The screenshot with all of the icons is what all of my workspaces revert to upon opening InDesign 2026, while the other screenshot is what I've saved my workspace to include.

19. 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

20. [ID-4281595] Share for Review Comment Emails Render Raw HTML Instead of Formatted Text

    Share for Review email notifications contain raw HTML code in the message body. Comment text is wrapped in visible <pre style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space:pre-line;"> tags that render as code rather than formatted text, making the emails difficult to read. The HTML should be rendered, not displayed as raw markup.
