1. 'Save As' doesn't clear the undo stack

   InDesign version: 21.5.1.73

   Saving a document using Save As should clear the undo stack, but InDesign stopped doing that. This is a problem because the over time, the undo stack increases a document's size enormously.

   To reproduce the problem:

   1. Open the attached document. It has three small text frames on page 1: one placed, two duplicates.
   2. Verify the document's undo stack: in the Edit menu you'll see Undo Duplicate. Press Ctrl+Z a few times and the frames are removed.
   3. Use Save As to save the document.

   Expected result: The undo stack should have been removed, Ctrl+Z should do nothing.

   Actual result: The undo stack is not deleted. Ctrl+Z does not remove the frames.

   The version that occurred: InDesign 18.3 or later,
   and the previous version is likely to have a similar problem.
   macOS 15.7.8

   Steps to reproduce the issues:
   *Preferences > Enlarge/Reduce UI > Set the UI size to as the minimum
   *Create a text frame
   *Scroll and adjust the document so that the text insertion point comes near the right/bottom of the panel
   *Enter text

   Expected result:
   Text is entered, but inadvertent scrolling does not occur.

   Actual result:
   When you enter text in a position covered by the panel, the function of forcing scrolling works. Due to the influence of the UI scale, there is a shift in the panel area from the upper left corner of the document.
   When the UI size is the maximum, about twice the coordinate area is the area where forced scrolling occurs.
   The same is true for the icon panel.

3. If “Proportional-width half-width” is set as the automatic numbering format for “Bulleted and numbered lists,” the indent values will be mis

   Note: This issue occurs only in CJK environments.

   1 Create a character style that uses only “Proportional-width half-width”.
   2 In “Bullets and Numbering,” apply automatic numbering, use a tab to advance the text after the number, and set the character style to “Proportional-width half-width”.
   3 The indent value shifts backward, causing it to no longer align with the start of the second line.
   Workaround: Move the indent position slightly forward and align it visually; then use the “Indent to Here” feature to align the second line.

   注意：この現象はCJK環境下でのみ発生する。
   1 「等幅半角字形」のみを設定した文字スタイルを作る。
   2 「箇条書きと段落番号」で、自動番号を与え、自動番号の後はタブで送り、文字スタイルで半角等幅を設定する。自動番号の前後には全角丸カッコを与える。
   3 インデント値が後方へずれ、2行目の先頭と合わなくなる。
   回避策：インデント位置を少し前方に来るようにして目視で位置を合わせ、2行目は「ここまでインデント」で合わせる。

4. [ID-4277365][macOS][Intermittent] InDesign 21.3 – Undo/Redo Functionality Disabled and History Panel Appears Blank

   1. Adobe InDesign 2026 v21.2.0.30 for macOS
   2. Restart macOS, Open document in InDesign, and work with document normally.
   3. Undo should remain available, with a long history of undo steps while working on a document.
   4. During the course of working with the document at some point the history will clear and undo will become unavailable via keyboard shortcut, menu, or the panel.

   This behavior is similar to the behavior described in ID-4274243 (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/50813147--id-4274243-indesign-clearing-undo-stack-frequent?linkId=100000398096855) but unlike that issue, this is affecting users on macOS and is present in v21.2.0.30.

   Two users on our staff are affected, both are running macOS 26.3 on a 16" MacBook Pro w/ M1 Pro, connected to an Asus ProArt 4k monitor via USB-C.

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

   I attempted to reproduce the issue using InDesign 2026 (v21.6.0.057) on both Windows and macOS, but I was unable to reproduce it.

   Could you please check whether the issue is reproducible in the following builds?

   • InDesign 2026: v21.6.0.057
   • InDesign PreRelease: v22.0.0.094

   Additionally, it would be helpful if you could share the following information:

   1. Steps to reproduce: Detailed steps describing the actions performed when the issue occurs.
   2. Screen recording: A video demonstrating the issue.
   3. Platform-specific behavior: Most customers have reported this issue on macOS, while Windows appears to be unaffected. Could you please confirm whether this matches your observations?
   4. Automatic Alt Text generation: Some users have reported that the issue disappears when Automatic Alt Text Generation is Turned OFF. Could you please confirm whether disabling this feature affects the issue in your environment?

   These details will help us narrow down the root cause and investigate further.

5. Right-click context menu disappears intermittently with Apple Magic Mouse on macOS 27.0.1 — InDesign 21.6

   Application version: Adobe InDesign 21.6
   Operating system: macOS Golden Gate 27.0.1
   Hardware: Apple Magic Mouse

   Bug description

   The standard right-click context menu in InDesign disappears immediately when I release the mouse button.

   Steps to reproduce

   Open InDesign 21.6 on macOS 27.0.1.

   Open any document and right-click an object using an Apple Magic Mouse.

   Release the mouse button.

   Observe that the context menu usually disappears immediately, before I can select a command.

   Expected result

   The context menu should remain open after releasing the mouse button, allowing me to select a command.

   Actual result

   The context menu closes immediately in most attempts. Occasionally it behaves normally, making the issue intermittent.

   Troubleshooting already performed

   Tested two different Apple Magic Mouse devices. Both exhibit the same issue on my Mac.

   The second Magic Mouse works correctly on my colleague's Mac.

   Tested a wired mouse on my Mac; the issue does not occur with the wired mouse.

   The issue occurs only in InDesign. Other applications, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Finder and Safari, work normally.

   Resetting InDesign preferences and changing the macOS secondary-click settings did not resolve the issue.

   The issue started after updating macOS. This suggests a possible interaction between InDesign 21.6, macOS 27.0.1 and Apple Magic Mouse input handling.

   Please investigate this intermittent context-menu issue and advise whether a fix or workaround is available.

6. Accessible PDF: Linked Figures mistagging

   Linking an image in 2026 and exporting it as a tagged PDF generates an unpleasant Tag structure.
   The structure now is:
   <Figure>
   --<Link>
   ----OBJR
   --Content

   Tags inside of <Figure> will normally ignored by any assistive technology. So the Link will not be present to the end user.

   This is a change to InDesign 2025 and before, where the tagging was properly:
   < Link>
   --OBJR
   --<Figure>
   ----Content

   Please change toe behavior back to the way of InDesign 2025 an earlier.

7. [ID-4275927, ID-4271158] Drop shadow changing position and shape on rotated objects and exporting incorrectly to PNG

   Drop shadows move unexpectedly on rotated objects. It creates a visual glitch that can be seen toggling Overprint Preview On/Off.

   Incorrect drop shadow can be seen in PNG export.
   Correct drop shadow can be seen in PDF.

   To recreate the bug:

   1) Draw a shape or a create a text frame
   2) Apply a drop shadow to the object (any setting, video is with Adobe default)
   3) Rotate the object
   4) Move the object around the live page until the drop shadow starts moving unexpectedly (offset varies).
   5) Export to PNG.

   InDesign 21.2
   Sequoia 15.7.3

9. Completely incorrect alt text for white logotypes on a dark colored background

   I got an Illustrator file with a white colored logotype. I place this in InDesign on a dark background.

   Now I use Adobes in-build alt text generator, and the text is absolutely dumb.

   In my example (I tried it with several logotypes):

   "Zwei Erwachsene sitzen an einem Tisch und spielen ein Brettspiel mit bunten Spielfiguren in einem gemütlichen Raum mit Pflanzen und Bücherregalen."

   which means in English
   "Two adults are sitting at a table playing a board game with colorful game pieces in a cozy room with plants and bookshelves."

   No issues if the logotype is black on a white background.

   Black on white = correct alt-text
   White on color = totally wrong alt-text

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

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.

12. Changed Spot Colors from Illustrator won't update in InDesign color swatches

    If you place an Illustrator file in InDesign which includes spot colors, and change the color values in Illustrator, the changed values will not show up in InDesign's color swatches panel.

    Tested with InDesign 25 and 26.
    On a Mac.

    You can see on the screenshot:

    I first made a frame with the spot color "STANZE Magenta" in Illustrator and placed in in InDesign.
    Then I changed the color values in Illustrator so that the color is green.

    In InDesign the places image is updated and shows the correct green color.
    But in the swatch panel it is still magenta.

13. [ID-4273763] Indesign 21.0.2 packaging not compatible on macOS 26 Tahoe

    • Indesign 21.0.2 packaging fails on machines updated to macOS 26 Tahoe.

    • When a file is packaged an error message is returned, indicating an error when copying links.
      This error does not appear when the same file is packaged on a system using an older mac OS. (Sonoma 14.6.1)

    • Our team has checked all linked files for corrupt files, errors in naming, missing links - there are none of these errors across our files.

    • This is a recurring error for any Indesign version 21.02.2 and older on machines updated to macOS 26 Tahoe. We have tried various files on various computers, recieving the same error each time.

14. Remove All AI (Artificial Intelligence) from Programs

    To remove all AI features whether totally or at the very least the ability to manually turn off these settings. AI is a threat to everyone who pays for your services and it is a slap in the face you are forcing it upon us. True creativity is human and your attempts to recreate are an abomination.

16. [ID-4272089]Grouped objects does not go back to original layers when ungrouped if 'Ungroup Remembers Layer' is enabled

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign is v21.0
    2. Create several layers, put an object on each layer, make sure that 'Ungroup Remembers Layers' is checked, group all objects, and ungroup.
    3. Expected result: all objects remain on the layer they were on before they were grouped.
    4. Actual results: all objects are on the top layer or the highest layer on which there was an object that was within the group

    In my opinion this should be treated as a hotfix. This is ruining the workflow and messes up the files that then need to either be fixed or rolled back to previous versions. I cannot state how urgent this is, it is absurd that a basic option such as this one is suddenly broken.

    FIXED  ·  AdminSanyam Talwar (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

    The fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2026(v21.0.1.006). 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. indesign is not working at all

    Honestly mostly is wrong with InDesign at the moment, it won't write text in text boxes, I can delete text but I can't add text, I have an eternal spinning wheel as a cursor but I can still do stuff with the cursor. Pictures keep disappearing from the visual field. Oh, and a weird black box appearing at the bottom screen. Completely useless at the moment, can't believe I locked all my files into this outrageously expensive **** product. Version 21.6 on windows, so it is updated.

18. PDF security permissions password

    With the new macOS Golden Gate 27.0 (and via the most up to date ID 21.6) when exporting to PDF from InDesign, there appears to be a bug which prevents you keying in a Permissions Password. The cursor is present in the box, but you are unable to type.

    This is imperative in our industry, when generating printing proofs. Please fix :-)

20. Open PDF in InDesign not properly working when a vector image is present (.ai or .eps)

    When we export a PDF from InDesign with the box "Preserve InDesign Editing Capabilities" checked, if we open the resulting PDF in InDesign, it is perfect, styles are preserved, guidelines, tables, Layers, Parent Pages... All is ok. (just as if a idml was included in the PDF)

    However, as soon as we include a .ai or .eps anywhere in the InDesign file, the exported PDF can no longer be imported back in InDesign with all format. Styles are lost or are named "Paragraph1", "Paragraph2", no more guidelines, no more Parent Pages, tables are not like before...

    We're trying again every time a new version of InDesign is out. This morning, it was InDesign 21.6 (Windows). Still the same problem.
