review search
When sharing a review: On the review web page, there is no longer a possibility to search for text. This makes reviewing long documents with many pages nearly impossible. Reviewers have to manually go through all the pages to find the content that's relevant.
Until around mid-2024, it was possible to use the browser's search function (CTRL+F). This has been disabled. Even if enforced (entering search through the browser's menu), it does not work.
To me, having no possibility to search for text in a document that should be reviewed, sounds like a severe, obvious oversight and should be addressed…

Bug: mixed open type numbers
If a text is set in a paragraph format using medieval numbers and using character format with versal number for footnotes, sets the number with two digits wrong: the first will be versal, the second medieval (see image).

Copy and Paste from Share for Review Comments panel not working
You used to be able to copy/paste directly from the REVIEW panel COMMENT when you receive feedback. Now it won't allow you to copy what someone has reviewed and suggested as replacement text. This is very important as it makes it much more efficient to copy it from within InDesign rather than swapping between screens to do it from the browser. Please can you fix this! Thank you!

Error with InDesign (Beta): "Some files required for color management are missing"
Hi, when I start the just-released InDesign (Beta) on Windows ARM, I get the error "Some files required for color management are missing. Please re-install the application to ensure proper functioning".
I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and have used the Creative Cloud Cleaner, but it doesn't resolve the issue. InDesign seems to be running OK even after getting the error, so it's more of a nuisance than anything. I may run into some issues in future with color management though.

cross-reference
Bonjour,
Je travaille présentement sur un long document dans lequel j'ai intégré un lexique à la fin. J'utilise des cibles hyperliens pour afficher les entrées du lexique à partir du texte au moyen de références croisées.
Or, les cibles hyperliens disparaissent aléatoirement et fréquemment. Si j'essaie de réparer tous les liens brisés, je n'arrive pas à terminer toutes les réparations avant que des liens réparés soient à nouveau brisés.

Text and picture boxes flash white when selecting and moving
This is a problem I’ve been experiencing for some time and it’s still present in the latest version I’ve updated to.
Whenever I select any item on the page - a picture box or text box - and I drag to another position, the item flashes white for a frame as I move it. This occurs whether I move the item with or without holding down the Shift key. It is only the item that flashes, not the rest of the page, but if I am moving a large shape or the background image, it becomes uncomfortable to the eye.

Character style based running header text variable does not pick up character styles applied by nested line styles
As with Grep styles the text variable character style is not found when it is created using Nested Line Styles. This means I have to use normal nested styles and add end nested style markers into the text. Not ideal or as fully automatic as I would like.

Adding a word starting with the Danish letter æ makes InDesign crash
Add a word starting with the Danish letter æ to an index invariably crashes InDesign, both the small æ and the capital Æ, no matter which method we use. Words where this letter is not placed at the beginning, like “bæverfælde", are no problem, nor are the two other Danish characters ø and å.
We also tried to add the words from a list, using a script which places index markers on every instance in the document; this did not make InDesign crash, but no entries were added either :-(
Perhaps connected to the fact that it is no longer…1 voteWe have released InDesign 2025(v20.2.0.036) with many stability fixes. We recommend you upgrade to the latest version (if you’re not already on it) as it is more robust.

InCopy: Paragraph Panel Bugs When Placed in Top Menu Area
I’ve noticed an issue with the Paragraph panel when it's placed in the top menu area of InCopy. The Space After option disappears and only becomes visible when the panel is pulled out or moved to the right-side menu.
Additionally, the Drop Cap feature behaves oddly in the top menu. It restricts the character selection to a range of 6-150. However, once the panel is pulled out, I can select 1 character as expected.
Please ensure the Paragraph panel functions consistently in all locations, similar to how it works in InDesign, where I haven’t encountered these issues.
Also, I couldn’t…

If a user selects 'allow viewers to Search and Copy text in the published document' when publishing online, all the hyperlinks stop working
When publishing online, if a user checks the box, 'allow viewers to Search and Copy text in the published document', all the hyperlinks stop working properly. If you're lucky, a link may work the first time you click it, but then it won't work if you click it again (Latest version of INDD on a Mac).

[Variable fonts] Axis committal doesn't stick
When using a variable font, and changing an axis’s value via the text box, it doesn't stick when the menu is Escaped. However, the value does stick when it is escaped if it was committed via slider.
To reproduce:
- Set some text in a text box.
- Open the Character Panel.
- Choose a variable font.
- Go into the variable font value settings via the button to the bottom right.
- Change a value in the text box.
- Hit Enter to commit. (Shouldn't really be necessary and doesn't seem to have effect anyway).
- Hit Escape to get rid of the slider pop-up.

Missing library links cause repeating error message
When links are in an inaccessible CC Library, instead of "Missing" (red dot in status column) the links are "Waiting" (stopwatch icon in status column).
This also causes repeated errors "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 user closes it."
So far, the only path forward is to repeatedly dismiss the error and try to relink the artwork before the error re-appears. This has to be done for each "missing" link.4 votes -
Placed image is partially outside frame
When I place an image and drag a custom size for the placed image, the image is outside of the frame.
Note that this doesn't happen if you simply click when placing, but does happen if you click and drag when placing.
This has just started happening. Usually the image is within the frame.
Video attached.

Screenshot is attached with only the most obvious faces circled in green. There are many more.1 vote -
