3. PDF comments UI bug

   In the panel for "pdf comments" you can set a filter to show only some types of comments. If you open this panel, all "comment type fields" are unselected – although they can all be seen in the document (screenshot 1). This is a mistake. All the fields should be selected at this point.

   If you click on one or more types, only these types will be displayed in the InDesign document. Correct behavior now. (Screenshot 2)

   Tested with InDesign 2026 21.1 and 2026 Prerelease 21.2

4. [ID-4277180]InDesign v21.2.0.030 crashes on quit in SubProcess

   Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
   Adobe InDesign 2026, Version 21.2.0.30 (Build 21200)
   Running on macOS 26.2 (25C56) on Apple Silicon (Mac14,2, 16 GB RAM)
   Steps to reproduce the issue
   1. Launch Adobe InDesign 2026.
   2. Open any document (or create a new blank document).
   3. Work normally for a while, or even do nothing.
   4. Choose “InDesign > Quit InDesign” or press Cmd+Q.
   5. Confirm quitting if prompted.
   Expected result
   InDesign quits cleanly without any error message and returns to the macOS desktop.
   Actual result
   • InDesign crashes on quit every time.
   • macOS shows a crash dialog stating that “Adobe InDesign 2026 quit unexpectedly” (or similar wording).
   • The macOS crash report shows:
   • Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
   • Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 6, “Abort trap: 6”
   • Crash is triggered in Thread 10.
   • This happens even after:
   • Resetting InDesign preferences on launch.
   • Deleting InDesign caches and preference folders in the user Library.
   • Completely uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign via Creative Cloud.
   • Testing in a brand-new macOS user account.
   Additional context
   • The same InDesign version (21.2.0.30) on my previous Mac and macOS version did not show this problem; the issue started only after migrating to the new Mac (same InDesign version, newer macOS).
   • No third‑party plug‑ins are installed (or all third‑party plug‑ins have been removed for testing).
   • The crash occurs regardless of which document is open; even a new, empty document triggers the crash on quit.

   Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
   Adobe InDesign 2026, Version 21.2.0.30 (Build 21200)
   Running on macOS 26.2 (25C56) on Apple Silicon (Mac14,2, 16 GB RAM)
   Steps to reproduce the issue
   1. Launch Adobe InDesign 2026.
   2. Open any document (or create a new blank document).
   3. Work normally for a while, or even do nothing.
   4. Choose “InDesign > Quit InDesign” or press Cmd+Q.

5. Font family names containing "&" display incorrectly in font menu

   Adobe InDesign v21.3

   Steps to reproduce the issue

   1. Install two test fonts with the following family names:
      • “A & B - Test 1”
      • “A&B - Test 2”
   2. Launch InDesign.
   3. Open the Character panel.
   4. Type “A & B”
   5. Observe the displayed family names in the dropdown results.

   Expected result

   Both family names should display exactly as defined in the font name table:

   • “A & B”
   • “A&B”

   Actual result

   The family name containing spaces around the ampersand displays correctly:

   • “A & B”

   The family name with the ampersand between adjacent characters does not display correctly in the dropdown:

   • “AB”

   The ampersand is removed from the dropdown display only when positioned between non-space characters.

   Additional notes

   • The full family name displays correctly elsewhere in the UI after selection.
   • This appears to be specific to ampersands between adjacent characters, though it could potentially affect other special characters as well.
   • The OpenType name table values are spec-compliant. Please see name ID 6 in the OpenType name table specification.
   • Name IDs 1, 4, 6, and 16 all preserve the ampersand correctly.

   Attachments

   • Screenshot showing the font search results and incorrect dropdown rendering.
   • Two minimal test fonts demonstrating the issue.

   Dropbox link to test fonts: test_fonts.zip

   Adobe InDesign v21.3

   Steps to reproduce the issue

   1. Install two test fonts with the following family names:
      • “A & B - Test 1”
      • “A&B - Test 2”
   2. Launch InDesign.
   3. Open the Character panel.
   4. Type “A & B”

8. Drag/Drop Link Causes Loading (Spinny) Wheel - Must Force Quit InDesign and Restart on Windows

   Occasionally, mostly when placing photos of PDF's via drag/drop, and at other random times, InDesign will be stuck, and the mouse cursor will be stuck on the loading/spinning wheel. I will have to open the Task Manager, force quit InDesign, and re-open. When I re-open, it will typically load the document exactly where I left off. Sometimes it's saved my work and other times it had not.

9. 21.2 Acting Strange

   I updated to 21.2 and ever since then, I have had these things happen:
   1. Freezes (beach ball spinning)
   2. Unable to "undo" (the undo is greyed out and Indesign seems to have no memory of the last event
   3. Icons get stuck. When I change tools, it still is showing the magnifying glass tool not the selection or type tool. But I acts like that tool is active (so can type text, but shows magnifying glass icon)
   4. Is crashing A LOT! And it has been years since I have had any issues with Indeisgn crashing.

   Anyone know what is goin on? I updated my OS and also tried numerous restarts and reboots. I am on a MacBook Pro running Taho 26.4

10. InDesign 21.3 (2026) Share for Review Comments Unmapped on Desktop

    This is an ongoing, years-long problem. When people comment via an Indesign Share for review link, the list of comments appears on the desktop app as unmapped/no pins. However, if you view the link online, you can see the same comments with pins where the commenters dropped them. It's a much more cumbersome workflow having to go to a different window to see all of the feedback. I don't know why this continues to be a problem.

11. home

    Home Welcome Screen Blank After Update on all Apps
    After the recent set of updates, Indesign does not show the welcome screen. When i try to create a new document (CNTRL+N, File>New>Document) the app hangs and i have to restart the app. I am able to open existing files, but not create new ones. Worked around the problem by selecting "Use Legacy New Document Dialog", but i would like to get my home/Welcome screen back.

12. [ID-4264855] Issue with Animated Zoom in GPU

    New PC GPU zoom doesn't seem to centre the zoom on the cursor leading to not super useful behaviour (you have to zoom and then drag with the hand tool to get back to what you were originally trying to zoom into). It's very disorientating.

13. [ID-4272075] Interactive PDF Buttons: Button bounding area expands after file conversion from older version to 21.0

    1. InDesign 2026 v21.0.1

    2. I've just verified and reproduced this interactive PDF button display bug by first confirming that several archived versions of the interactive PDF (created from archived InDesign Source files), all function perfectly and as expected. It is ONLY by opening one of those older, archived InDesign source file in the current 2026 v21.0.1 and exporting a new copy of that same Interactive PDF that the buttons all appear differently when clicked.

    3. The expected result is to have interactive buttons that look clean and functional when clicked.

    4. The actual result (only when exporting the Interactive PDF from the current version of InDesign, never before from previous versions), is that all the interactive buttons now show a black bounding box that surrounds and extends up above and beyond the boundaries of the buttons themselves. It's visual display bug specifically on buttons. This remains true even when the buttons DO NOT have any hover or click states assigned. It's a button element issue, not a visual state issue. (Although the Hover state has always been glitchy or "sticky" which is annoying, but not as bad as the black bounding box described here.

    5. Screenshot examples from the exported interactive PDF have been provided.

    Workaround:
    1. Export the test document to IDML and use the IDML to export to Interactive PDF
    2. Recreating the button entirely in InDesign 21.0 restores the correct clickable area. However, this is not ideal for users working with older templates containing many pre-existing buttons.

14. "Repair file" Pops up when trying to 'Save' a file... InDesign closes without saving

    When opening an InDesing file with the new 2026 version, the file opens without any issues at all.
    No missing links, no missing fonts. Opens OK.

    When trying to save that file, which was created by previous InDesign version (2025), InDesign encounters an issue while saving. A pop-up asks if I want to "Repair the file". I hit the "Repair" button. InDesign app closes abruptly.

    So, I used another way to save the file without 'Saving As', nor replacing the file.

    I opened the exact same file made with a previous version of InDesign, hit 'Save as', select IDML, and the app didn't crash. I close the InDesing file. I erase the InDesign file from my folder.

    Then:

    Opened the IDML file, hit 'Save As > InDesign 2026'.
    The file saves as InDesign.
    No pop-up.

    I close the IDML file.
    Open the recently saved InDesign (2026).

    No more issues.

    When opening an InDesing file with the new 2026 version, the file opens without any issues at all.

16. Use of Paragraph Rules results in untagged PDF path elements

    InDesign 21.1

    Action: Apply Paragraph Rule

    Expected Result: Rules are tagged as artifacts when exporting to PDF

    Actual Result: The resulting path gets included in tagging, but is not tagged as an artifact. This results in errors when auditing for WCAG 2.1 compliance.

17. Paste Into don't respect the frame boundaries

    I’m having an issue in InDesign with graphics using the 'Paste Into' command. When I export the file to PDF, the graphics occasionally don't respect the frame boundaries. If I duplicate the frames, the problem persists, but it appears inconsistently in different places. However, when I export as a PNG or print the page directly to a printer, the issue does not occur.

    macOS Sonoma 14.8.4
    Indesign 2026 21.3

    Attached pdf, png and indd files.

18. Hyphenation settings see note references as a character

    Hypenation settings consider a note reference as a character, so if you have a footnote callout at the end of a word and hyphenation settings are set to "before last 3" it will make 2-letter hyphenation.
