live gaussian blur
There is a feature that I have been missing in InDesign for years, but which is/was realised in Adobe XD, for example: Live Gaussian Blur (see screenshot). There you could assign this to an object as a property: ‘Blur background’, set parameters and you're done! In InDesign, this can only be achieved by tedious workarounds ...

[ID-4259937][Document Specific] InDesign and InDesign Server go into infinite recompose
The attached IDML file is a minimized test case for an infinite recompose loop. To start the loop, open the document in an InDesign client and select the gray text frame and turn off its text wrap property. To stop the loop, select Undo or close the document.
The test case is taken from a real-world IDS incident where this loop monopolized the IDS process for several minutes until our watchdog killed it.
(Reproduced with Adobe Indesign CC 2025 v20.1.0.71 running on MacBook Pro M3 / macOS 15.2.)

Share for Review, Review links in
The Review feature is incredibly buggy. When I open up my .indd to edit from the clients edits, I have the REVIEW window open on the right as I edit on the left. 1. the minute I delete within the highlighted area, the comment/edit immediately zooms away. This is so frustrating. Spelling errors cannot be corrected if the yellow highlight is on...you have to choose a letter replacement from a dropdown. So bizarre. And this is the MOST irritating...Why can't I just see a list of Unresolved comments with NOTHING ELSE? The screen is constantly over-populated with vintage comments that…

Rounded corners on rectangle get rounder every time the rectangle is clicked into
Sometimes when I click into and out of a rectangle, or click and move the rectangle, the rounded corner value goes up from 0.0625 to .1667. I am using about 30 identically sized rectangles on the page, and I would like them to have identically rounded corners.

Data merge problem - InDesign does not load CSV file with accented symbols
If in InDesign 19.0 I use the CSV format with the East Europe character set in the data merge, then I can merge data with Czech accents without any problems. However, in Version 19.4 and above, I cannot do this. I have not been able to solve the problem and the data loaded has missing symbols. The only solution I have found so far is to install InDesign version 19.0, where the data merge works correctly.

Multi-Lingual Data Handling
This is a suggestion for a new feature for people using InDesign for multilingual purposes.
In India, we may need to use 3 languages at the same time, for example, in addition to English, we may need to use the national language Hindi and the regional language Malayalam, Tamil or some other language. In other countries, sometimes even more.
When we try to make changes to a paragraph or chapter using different fonts in different languages, we often have to select and change even one letter to change the font in each language. This greatly reduces the joy of using…

It's not possible to look for tables using the GREP tab
In the Text tab you can look for <0017> and find the tables in the active document (or selected story).
But it's not possible to look for tables using the GREP tab. Looking for \x{0017} or \x17 doesn't match anything.
Step to reproduce:
1. Create a new document, place a text frame, and add a table.
2. Open the Find/Change window, activate the GREP tab.
3. Run this GREP query: \x{0017}
4. Then try this one: \x17Expected result: both queries found the table.
Actual result: InDesign reports that nothing was found.

The GREP character . (dot) does not match after footnote markers
The GREP character . (dot) does not match after footnote markers. In this text (where [1] is a footnote marker):
Footnotes are so called[1] because they are at the foot of the page.
The GREP expression to match a whole paragraph matches up to and including the footnote marker, but not after.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run this GREP query (I can't attach .indd, .idml, or .zip files, so you'll have to create your own document):
^.+
Actual result:
The fragment "Footnotes are so called[1]" is matched.
Expected result:
The whole paragraph should be matched.

[ID-4256174]InDesign crashes while searching any font/word, etc., which is in overset text.
We have simple scripts that operate on script labels to Find and Replace Text, adjust Text Size, things like that. We've been using them for three years with no problems prior to v2025. They crash and bring up the option to send an error report. We're rolling back to 2024 now, we can't operate efficiently without these scripts.
2 votesThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2025(v20.0.1.032). 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.

Wrong position of autocorrect
Sometimes when a pdf markup is for a space between two words, the autocorrect creates the space in the wrong place, one character ahead of where it should be, so for example, if the markup was to the words removespace, the result would be removes pace.

Grep function for deleting trailing whitespace deletes a paragraph mark before a table
A paragraph mark before a table should not be considered trailing whitespace. Not sure what else to say. Maybe it's an easy fix?

Guides aligned with cursor and not object
Just updated to InDesign 2025 (v 20.0) and had to switch back to the previous version due to the smart guides functioning strangely. The guides should show up in the center or edge of the object so that I can align it properly on the page and in relation to other objects. Instead, it's producing the guidelines from wherever my cursor is when I click and drag the object. This has made it much more difficult to do simple things like center objects, since it's just centering my cursor instead. I've never had any desire to align things based on…
