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. [ID-4256546]Bug when setting an even number as the start page number in a new document.

   Bug when setting an even number for the start page number when creating a new document

   1. Version of Adobe InDesign
      CC2025 (ver. 20.0) JP

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues
      Set any even number for the start page number on the Create New Document screen.

   3. Expected result
      An even page number will be displayed in Current Page Number as set.

   4. Actual resul
      The value set in the New Document screen will not be reflected, and “Current Page Number” will display “1”.

   As shown in the attached figure, when “Current Page Number” is inserted into a new document with the starting page number set to an even number, the document starts with “1”.
   (As long as the number set in the new document creation screen is an even number, any value will not be reflected and will become “1”).

   This phenomenon can be recovered by temporarily setting a different value in “Number & Section Option”.
   However, for users who are not aware of this behavior, it is sure to cause great confusion.
   It can also cause significant time loss in finding a solution.
   We have not been able to verify whether this bug is specific to the Japanese version, but we recognize that it is a very serious bug.
   We sincerely hope that the development team will fix it as soon as possible.

   <Japanese Comment>
   新規ドキュメント作成で開始ページ番号に偶数番号を設定すると発生する不具合

   InDesignのバージョン
   CC2025 (ver.20.0) JP

   問題の再現手順
   新規ドキュメント作成画面で、開始ページ番号に任意の偶数を設定する。

   予想される結果
   「現在のページ番号」に、設定通りの偶数ページ番号が表示される。

   実際の結果
   新規ドキュメント画面で設定した値は反映されず、「現在のページ番号」に「1」が表示される。

   添付画像のように、開始ページ番号を偶数番号に設定した新規ドキュメントに、「現在のページ番号」を挿入すると「1」から開始されます。
   （新規ドキュメント作成画面で設定した番号が偶数である限り、いかなる値であっても反映されず「1」となる）

   この現象は「ページ番号とセクションの設定」で、一時的に別の値を設定すれば回復します。
   しかしこの挙動を認識していないユーザーにとって、大きな混乱を招く原因となることは間違いありません。
   また、解決策を見つけるために大きな時間のロスを生む可能性があります。
   この不具合は日本語版固有の問題なのかは検証できていませんが、非常に深刻なバグであると認識しています。
   開発チームには早急に改善していただくよう切に希望します。

3. [ID-4257735]One Frame Grid Remains Unchanged When Modifying Multiple Selected Frame Grids

   InDesign CS4 (v6) and Later

   When changing the “Number of Characters per Line” or “Number of Lines” for multiple selected frame grids, one of the frame grids always fails to update. This bug, first observed in CS4 (v6), remains unresolved.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Select multiple frame grids.
   2. Go to the menu and choose “Object > Frame Grid Options...”
   3. Modify the “Number of Characters per Line” or “Number of Lines” settings.

   Result: Changes are not reflected in one of the frame grids. It appears that the frame grid with the smallest object ID does not get updated.

   Expected Result: All selected frame grids should reflect the changes.

4. Alert is shown on opening documents in InDesign(v19.4.0.63) - "This file is already open by another user or another application."

   After updating InDesign to V19.4, I'm now locked out of many of my previous design files. I'm receiving the error, "This file is already open by another user or another application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it."

   I reinstalled V19.3 and can now access these old files but I would prefer to use the most up to date version if possible. happy to provide a sample if needed.

5. QR-code color does not get updated with changed color swatch

   If I change a colour in the Swatches Panel that has been used in a QR-Code, the QR code does not automatically update. I have to open the “Edit QR-Code” options dialogue to validate the colour (select it again). As you can see in the screenshot, the changed colour is selected but not reflected in the QR-Code that it has been applied to.

   The expected result would be that that the QR-code color updates as soon as the color swatch has been changed.

6. Can't apply colour swatches in swatches pallette

   Indesign version 20.0.1
   Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1

   Steps:
   1. Create or open a document
   2. Create or select any text box or picture box
   3. Select any colour in the Swatches panel
   4. The colour swatch will hilite for a second when clicked, but then deselects and the colour is NOT applied to the object
   5. Same is true for text: Cannot apply any colour to text using the Swatches panel.
   6. Using the "Color" panel however does allow you to apply colours using CMYK or other spaces.

   Additional Notes:
   - Already tried manually deleting caches and preference files from user library
   - Already tried command-option-control-shift while starting Indesign to delete preferences
   - Rebooted Mac several times and also zapped PRAM
   - Only started happening today (I think Indesign was auto-updated by CC)

9. Lag in 20.0 and higher

   The lag in 20.0 and its updates is hard to stomach. We pay a lot for this app and it is VERY difficult to work with these issues. Evey time I click on something in a document - no matter how large a file - there is lag. Text boxes, images, color shapes/boxes. I have a brand new Mac Studio with Apple M2 Ultra and 128GB Memory - I have more than enough power to support your app. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE. I have tried all of the troubleshooting offered to no avail, and I shouldn't have to trouble shoot to make it function properly.

10. 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.

13. [ID-4257733]The amount of “Indent to Here” in a paragraph with a “Text Wrap” object at the beginning of the line is wider than usual.

14. [ID-4257736]InDesign hangs when placing CJK tagged text with ruby

    I'm currently using ID 2024, but I have tested other versions of ID, back to CS6, and they all have the same problem. I'm currently running Windows 11, but the problem also occurs in Windows 10.

    Steps:

    1. Install the Adobe font family, Source Han Sans TW, on your computer.
    2. Download TaggedText.zip and unzip it
    3. Open InDesign in the CJK version
    4. Create a new document with these grid attributes: Direction = Vertical; Font = Source Han Sans TW, Normal; Size = 16 pt; Vertical = Horizontal = 100%; Char Aki = 0 pt; Line Aki = 10 pt; Characters = 40; Lines = 15
    5. Go File > Place... > choose TaggedText.txt
    6. After TaggedText.txt is loaded into the "cursor" <shift-click> inside the frame

    It would be nice if InDesign would place the text and allow me to continue working with the data. Unfortunately, InDesign hangs and I have to kill it with the Task Manager.

    UserVoice does not allow uploading zip files so here is the link to TaggedText.zip:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pndkPDCXuja6eh3kv-Yipfzrq0UcsISd/view?usp=sharing
    (Contact me if you have problems downloading it.)

    I have a video showing how to reproduce the bug:
    https://www.loom.com/share/733195ba2f5a4b2abb6faae10835b4ad?sid=036cf1f2-a772-476c-a8ee-ab126ce0f2dd

    I'm pretty sure the problem is related to ruby in the tagged text. It is possible to place the text using the debug version of InDesign available through adobeprerelease.com which leads me to think that the tagged text is acceptable. My request is to fix the regular version of InDesign so that it can place this tagged text just like the debug version can.

    At this point InDesign is hung.

    I'm currently using ID 2024, but I have tested other versions of ID, back to CS6, and they all have the same problem. I'm currently running Windows 11, but the problem also occurs in Windows 10.

    Steps:

    1. Install the Adobe font family, Source Han Sans TW, on your computer.
    2. Download TaggedText.zip and unzip it
    3. Open InDesign in the CJK version
    4. Create a new document with these grid attributes: Direction = Vertical; Font = Source Han Sans TW, Normal; Size = 16 pt; Vertical = Horizontal = 100%; Char Aki = 0 pt; Line Aki = 10 pt; Characters = 40;… more

15. 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.

16. variable fonts

    In a TrueType based variable font, if some nodes have implied deltas at the edge of outline, that edge can jump around as seen in the attached video. The right stem of the "n" should stay on the baseline. And it does in all other environment that I tested (Illustrator, Photoshop, Chrome, Safari …).

    I tried to attach the font but get an error that .ttf and .zip files are not allowed. Here is a link to the file in dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/69ynar0ds0k44fhsuge2j/ImpliedDeltasVF.ttf?rlkey=zccl17cd67ru4oat5qlt2eb99&st=c469cifb&dl=0

17. InDesign crashes when updating review link

    InDesign Version: 20.1
    OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.1
    Device: MacBook Pro (14in 2021)
    Memory: 32G
    Chip: Apple M1 MAX

    I regularly update a large file. Any time I try to update the Share for Review link, InDesign crashes. In smaller files, I receive an error message saying, "There was an error updating the artifact." The link will successfully update, but not without crashing or errors.

18. [ID-4257194]page numbers on documents don't match page numbers in book window or pages pane

    Ever since InDesign updated from version 19.5 to version 20, the current page number marker on my master pages will not sync. Now, every document in my book just starts from page 1. So, in other words, every chapter starts over at page 1. Please help. I've included a screen grab of my problem. You'll see that the page numbers on the actual document don't match the page numbers indicated in the pages window or in the book window. I've redone the marker in the master pages and resynced, but no dice...

19. 2025 InDesign (v20.0) Frequent Crashing on MacOS 15.0.1 Sequoia

    Ever since the 2025 version of InDesign released earlier this month, I have had constant crashing issues while working on multiple files. I have been using MacOS 15 Sequoia since it released in September. At first it seemed to crash at random every 5-30 minutes while going between open indd tabs. I think I can more consistently trigger it now by trying to open/navigate around a .indt file. I have a screen recording attached of me clicking around with a 2025 .indt file, a 2025 .indd file, and a 2024 .indd file. Within this minute long recording, InDesign crashes twice, both times when going between/opening the .indt file to the regular 2025 .indd file.

20. Character style applied to Table of Contents header

    When creating a book's table of contents (TOC), if you apply a character style to the first chapter, that style is applied to the TOC entry but it's also wrongly applied to the TOC header as well. It seems to be taking whatever character style that's applied to the first letter in the first chapter.

    I have a sample file I can send.
    Tested in InDesign 2024 and 2022 for Mac.
    Discussed here:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/character-style-applied-to-table-of-contents-header/m-p/15256113#M619872
