1. Latency issue on Mac since version 20.0.1

   Every action, every time I switch back to InDesign after using another application, every event is preceded by a 1-2 second delay. When spending the whole day working on InDesign, this becomes unbearable. This is the first time I've experienced this, and it has been happening since the new version 20.

   See video. The Mac "spinning wheel" appears multiple times in one minute. Imagine this over several hours or days.

   Adobe, cold you please fix it asap?

2. PNG export affected by "Display Performance" Settings

   Affected InDesign versions:

   I could reproduce it with InDesign 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and Prerelease 2025. From what I've found here so far, however, the problem has existed since at least 2020.

   ---

   Reproduce:

   • "Display Performance" set to "Typical"
   • place a PNG or PSD with semi-transparent areas in InDesign (image for testing: semitransparent.png)
   • export to PNG

   This also happens if the PNG export is triggered before the document has been fully rendered and the "Display Performance" settings are set to ‘High Quality’. This therefore also affects automated processes, e.g. on InDesign Server.

   ---

   Expected result:

   • high quality output with correctly rendered transparencies (see png-export-expected.png)

   ---

   Actual result:

   • Stripes in the semi-transparent areas (see png-export.png)

   ---

   Even worse:

   • set the "Display Performance" to "Fast"
   • only a gray box is in the exported PNG instead of the actual image (see png-export-fast.png)

3. Converting a text URL to a hyperlink removes the instances of the text variables!!!

   1. All InDesign versions
   2. Create a URL that includes Text Variable instance
   3. URL looks and prints correctly,
   4. but hyperlink is wrong: there are no text variables values in it.

   It is obvious that URLs are convenient to generate from text variables. Especially if there are thousands of them!
   This would be a phenomenal solution not only to our problem, but...

   Instead of substituting the values ​​of text variable instances, nothing is replaced (empty strings instead of text variable instances), and the hyperlink (which looks and prints correctly in the text) is generated as invalid!
   We need to create and maintain a script to fix incorrectly generated hyperlinks, but this drawback could be solved at the highest level - just add text variable processing to the hyperlink converter!

4. Preview on GPU disappears; restarting only resolution

   Problem: Workspace turns into a blank outline in Preview on GPU.

   Occurrence: When switching between windows or after returning to an open InDesign file after having a pause.

   Solutions: Restarting InDesign.

   Toggling between CPU and GPU does not work. Selecting and de-selecting GPU in preferences does not work.

6. Output to PDF removes bleed

   Summary: Output to PDF removed bleed

   Details:

   I laid out a book in Indesign using the 'Book' feature, with several similar sections or documents linked as a 'Book'. Each document based on the same original so all had same settings.

   I needed to output to PDF for the printer, Mixam UK. I downloaded the printer's settings, which include: output to single pages, bleed with no marks, with 'use document bleed' checked.

   I had set up the documents in Indesign in spreads with 3mm bleed as usual from the start. When looking at the output settings BEFORE output, I could see it still said 'use document settings' and showed 3mm bleed all round. See attached screenshot.

   I then output the book (Export Book to PDF) to single page PDF and uploaded to printer's website.

   I did not notice the document in fact had ZERO BLEED. The printer alerted me. I went back and output again. This time I looked more carefully and saw that 'use document bleed' was still ticked (checked), but it had reset to 0mm. I think it does it at the point of exporting the whole 'Book'.

   Workaround: I unticked 'use document bleed' and changed the bleed manually in that box to 3mm. Problem solved. 

   I see that a similar issue has been noted by Adobe but one suggested workaround is to export as single pages, link below. But I was using single pages so that is NOT the solution. Something is going wrong with 'use document settings', perhaps because it was a Book and not a single doc. (I did check each Indesign document is set up with 3mm bleed - yes they are.)

   https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/bleed-settings-incorrect-export-pdf.html?x-product

   I'm working on a Mac running OS 12.6 and Adobe Indesign 2023 on subscription.

   Anyway hope you can work on this and provide a fix or announcement so that other people don't send off their work without bleed.

   Of course the fact the printer demands a bleed without marks is making it harder for me as customer to check I've got bleed in my PDF! That bit is not your problem!

   Side note: this window for reporting bugs is too small! It's hard to see what I've already said or edit it.

   Thank you.

7. "GREP Load Find with selected text" is incomplete on macOS

   version: any OS: any macOS
   Edit menu > Keyboard Shortcuts > Text and Tables > “GREP Load Find with selected text” also “GREP Load Find and Find Next instance”

   If the selected text contains meta characters that are escaped with a backslash, such as "End of Paragraph" (\r) or tab characters (\t), they are all captured as ¥r and ¥t.
   I’m forced to retype the ¥ into a \ before starting the search.
   On Windows, it works without retyping.

   “Forced line break" (\n) is not a problem as a function, but the display is corrupted, which makes me uneasy.

   It is a pity because it is a very useful function.

   検索を開始する前に¥をバックスラッシュ\ に入力し直す必要に駆られている。
   Windowsでは再入力を必要とせず動作した。

   「強制改行」（\n）は機能としては問題ないが、表示が崩れており不安である。

   とても便利な機能なだけに残念でならない。

8. Literal ampersand (&) doesn't show in font's OpenType stylistic set menu

   Adobe InDesign version: 20.1

   Expected Results:
   1. Use a font in InDesign that contains an OpenType stylistic set option with a name containing an ampersand (&).
   2. Look for that stylistic set in Character > OpenType > Stylistic Sets.
   3. The ampersand should be visible in the name of the stylistic set.

   Actual Results:
   The ampersand does not appear in the stylistic set name.

9. Portuguese from Portugal

   The Portuguese language originated in Portugal.
   That being said, the Portuguese Dictionary from Portugal implemented in InDesign should align with the native language. In fact, there are numerous supposed errors detected by Dynamic Spelling.
   InDesign insists on not accepting words like "Económico" or "prémios," as it considers them to be mistakes, given that in Brazilian Portuguese, which is a variant of the Portuguese language, they are not written this way. It's about time they fix this issue.
   Thank you.

10. Vector graphics distorted and broken - Cause unkown

    I don't know what prior action or command let to this bug but almost all my Vector graphics were suddenly distorted and broken. Some Small circles changed size and I couldn't scale in down anymore. See pictures. Exportet pdf files show the same distorted graphics.

13. Inset spacing no longer working after re-installing InDesign 2025

    I re-installed InDesign 2025 because some windows were blank ('Text Wrap', 'Paragraph' & 'Colour'). It solved that issue but developed a new issue - it wouldn't save. So I re-installed again without keeping any settings/preferences, this time it developed a new issue - Inset spacing no longer works.
    What is going on?

14. Text wrap - select subject - cancelling progress causes crash

    Clicking an image/object, choosing wrap around object shape and then type: Select subject will bring up the progress bar whilst it thinks about it. If you choose to cancel the progress then indesign crashes without an error code or crash dialogue.

    Have tried on 2024/2025 windows 10 and 11 and bug persists.

17. Publish Online: if forbidden character in the document name, the name has to be filled in again

    To me it’s okay that “special characters” are not allowed in the title of a "publish Online" document.

    But if a user gets this message, his/her title is completely deleted and he/she has to fill out the title again. Although there’s maybe only one forbidden character in it.

    Annoying. Any chance to change this?

19. Missing character in CentSchbook CE font in InDesign2025

    Yesterday, while working in Indesign 2025, white spaces appeared in the imported text where the letter "r" should be - one character suddenly disappeared! Even in the font set there is a white space instead (see picture). I tried this set in Word and it continues to appear there. It also appears when I try it in the old version of Indesign CS4. Not here in ID2025. However, about two days ago I was already creating documents in ID2025 with this font set and there was no problem. This is a current problem that I need to resolve immediately. Thanks for the feedback.

20. Brush Strokes

    Strokes should be more variable, like in Illustrator. I miss brush strokes. I'd like to create some stroke styles myself. For some Corporate Designs it is crucial to have.
