Rulers units change from mm to point spontaneously
Very odd: my units of millimeters suddenly turn to points - without me even touching the rulers. Problem is that scripts I made, go haywire now that InDesign seems to go back to its native points? This must be a bug, as the scripts worked fine up till very recently. But it's not just in the scripts. When I look e.g. at corner options, all millimeters have been replaced by points as well.

Although the ruler units are in pixels, the layer height and Y position still appear in millimeters.

Bug: Wrong centered text justification in round text frames
Center-aligned text in round text frames is misaligned, i.e. too far to the left. Please see screenshots for all details.
As soon as you convert the frame to a rectangular one, text is aligned to center correctly.
This is simply a calculation bug which should be fixed now finally - it persists for years already.2 votes -

Indesign rimane incastrato negli angoli
all'apertura del software, come si può notare in foto allegata, indesign rimane bloccato nell'angolo senza la possibilità di poterlo muovere in nessun modo, questo problema è presente ormai da diversi giorni e non riesco a capire come sistemare la situazione. Io uso il software per lavorare e facendo così non mi è permesso di continuare il mio lavoro. Ho provato ad disintallare e reinstallare, ma nulla.

PDF comments import issues
PDF comments are imported in wrong places in the InDesign. If a text contains more than once in a frame, the comments are imported in improper position in the file. Samples files are uploaded for reference. Can you check and update.

bug
"In the 'Advanced' workspace ('Geavanceerd'), the 'Swatches' panel ('Stalen') does not open; instead, the 'Links' panel ('Koppelingen') always opens. In the 'Essentials Classic' workspace ('Essentiële werkruimte – Klassiek') it works correctly. This issue occurs in the Dutch-language version of InDesign and seems to be a bug in the workspace configuration."

[ID-4263586] Adobe InDesign 2025 text justify buttons issue
In the latest update of InDesign 2025 (as of writing this), there is a problem with the text justification buttons in the toolbar.
Previously, you could click these buttons and then just keep typing into your currently active text frame, which is what one would expect from previous versions of InDesign.
With the latest update, keyboard focus instead shifts over to these buttons, taking focus away from the text frame and your current text cursor position.
This is completely useless, and makes it more difficult than it should be to, say, change the justification at a certain line of text…2 votesWe're reviewing this issue.

Eyedropper tool should not copy content fill by default.
I don't think I have ever needed to copy the content fill settings from one image frame to another, but by default the eyedropper tool copies how the photo fills the frame, which is pretty annoying.
Requested Feature: Please add a checkbox specifically for content fill. Please have it unchecked by default.
Right now you can only disable content fill from being apply by unchecking "color and tint," which doesn't make sense and is not intuitive.
Expectation 1: eyedrop a frame to copy it's color/stoke/ other attributes, but not content fill which changes the size/position of the image within the…

Creative Suite apps are INSANELY slow
All Creative Cloud programs are insanely slow and lagging. It's nearly impossible to use 2 or 3 of them at the same time, and I need to restart my computer every hour to even be able to do some very basic tasks. The problem is happening in all programs, Indesign, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro ertc.
This is happening on ALL computers I used in past years, and everything was up to date. It's not about 3rd party add-ons or resetting preferences, or any advice you offer.
Some weeks ago I killed off all Adobe/CC background processes and everything worked perfect until…2 votes -

CRASH
I downloaded the last version of adobe indesign. I also updated my Mac software. when I open indesign it opens normally, I can see the home page and even try opening a new file, choosing sizes and stuff. Once I click on create a little bar appears (its a floating bar that's always there when a file is open) but the rest of the page looks like the menu still. Im 100 sure its only indesign because illustrator works well

slow reaction
20.3.1 the version I just updated too (my bad! I should know by now not to update anything). Now, it takes a few seconds to recognize I've clicked on anything. I expect it would immediately acknowledge the click as it did before the update.

Data merge not working for absolute paths on macOS
With the latest update of 19.4, image paths no longer work for merge documents. I installed the latest update, which went back to 19.3, and have had no issues; therefore, I have isolated the issue with the update. I currently usean Excell file with an image field and the path to the image associated with each record. I have not changed anything in the file but with the new update I get the error message indicating the file is missing.
18 votesThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2024(v19.5.0.084). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
Kindly update the data source file with the POSIX style path in Macintosh to work with data merge functionality smoothly. Please refer to the helpx https://helpx.adobe.com/in/indesign/using/data-merge.html to know more about the difference between HFS and Posix style paths.
You can get the actual POSIX path of a file by right-click it in the Finder while holding Option (or right-click, then press Option) > Copy as pathname menu. This can help you explore the correct POSIX paths to ensure you're using them correctly.
Note: Relative path as such /<foldername>/<filename> is no longer supported after the fix, as it considers the starting “/” as an absolute path. Instead, the recommendation is to omit the starting “/” and use <foldername>/<filename> instead or any of the other existing ways to access the…
