1. InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom

   InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom. Typically, the mouse pointer should change to a drag icon to indicate this functionality, but this does not happen with InDesign, while it works normally with other applications.

2. Indesign 2025 slowness

   This InDesign 2025 version is ridiculously slow. Change of Type tool to Selection tools it is taking 5 seconds or any other tool. Any single letter for correction 5 seconds. Selection of any item, 5 seconds. Anything one does is not less than 5-7 seconds in all. This is nonsense problems. The cursor should move FREELY and instantly.

3. [ID-4255870] Document Fonts available even if not active

   Working on an indesign document that has its own “Document Fonts” folder that contains fonts specific to that document (not activated anywhere else), then switching to a new document that does not have any “Document Fonts” folder, the fonts of the previous document are still available, but if I close indesign completely and then reopen the new document the fonts are no longer available.

   This is not correct, fonts that are not activated or not present in the “Document Fonts” folder specific to that document, should not be available for other documents that do not reside in the same folder.

   The old version of indesign (19.5) didn't do this.

   Furthermore, if you export a PDF of a document that contains a non-activated font, but which is displayed correctly due to the above, in the generated PDF the font will be replaced by a system font (Minion Pro, Times, etc.)

4. ID 20.0.1 locks up when resizing a table cell, either expanding the column or expanding the row width downward.

   Mac Sonoma, M2 silicon.

   I have an academic text chapter with numerous tables; Hebrew is scattered through the text, and some tables have Hebrew columns. Many times working on the file, the slightest change to resize a table cell, or resize a column, or who knows what, ID will go into rainbow wheel of death mode and must be killed.

   I just now found a repeatable lockup. A table had no header row, but crosses pages, so I created a header row to be present on each page for that table.

   Copying the single line text from a cell into that column's header cell works. Copying a four text line table cell into the one line table header cell for that column expands the header cell (and row) downward, and then ID locks up and must be killed. That has happened twice on one table..

   I now recognize that the same lockup has happened on other similar tables on exactly that same column; when copying a four line text from a cell into a one line header cell that must expand downward, ID locks up.

   For what it is worth, the tables are on pages that are rotated 90º CCW, as the table is too wide for a 6x9 horizontal page.

   In this instance the header row and the row below it are the last elements on a page; when pasting the text into the header cell the header row expands and pushes the first table cell to the next page.

   Other tables have locked up ID when pasting into a header cell that was the first row on a page, but it may have pushed a lower row to the next page; I am not sure of that.

   In another instance, in the top-of-page table panel for that same problematic column, I could click the column width box one point at a time to widen it to its desired width, roughly 66pt to 108pt, but if I entered 108pt in the column width and tabbed out to expand it at once, ID locked up and had to be killed.

   I tried falling back to 19.5.1, but it also locks up and must be killed.

   If you want the file to duplicate the problems, you must provide a private way to transfer it to you.

   Why do you use a fixed size text box on the bug report page, when that makes it difficult to provide sufficiently long problem descriptions?

   If you want more information I will try to provide it. Thank you.

5. InDesign 2025 Crashing Constantly

   Indesign 2025 has been crashing consistently since I updated it. The main trigger seems to be when you Option-drag any element. Text, image, shape. It immediately crashes. Any designer knows option-drag is a standard move for design work. This is very problematic. I have restarted, reinstalled, updated OS but still the same thing happens. Sometimes it now crashes when you PDF anything. Update has some serious glitches. Needs fixing asap.

7. Stop screwing with my workspace settings

   How about app settings like Preferences and Workspace Settings live in the CC profile and it just lives in the cloud? Because you guys can't seem to do the "Retain current settings" thing ever, you have the option and the option never works. Not ONCE, ever.

   NOBODY WANTS THE ESSENTIALS WORKSPACE.

8. Constantly forgetting Workspace setting

   InDesign 20.1, as well as pretty much every version since 2019 continually forget my WorkSpace setting, so that when I boot ID, it randomly thinks I'm new, and so it loads the annoying popups and product tours and the almost ubiquitous blue alert at the bottom helping me with saving my settings.

   Fix this.

9. Bug: Cannot cancel or requeue background tasks, ID keeps activating fonts for good

   Indesign 2024, Windows 10.
   Problem 1: even with Adobe Fonts being activated, ID 2024 starts to activate fonts it finds in \Fonts folder, doing that for good and the tasks cannot be canceled.
   Problem 2: other tasks, like PDF export, are then queued and cannot be processed at all unless you could move them up the queue, which doesn't work.

10. Some glyphs in ai files appear as other glyphs in PDFs (created from InDesign)

    DE: Einige Glyphen in ai-Dateien kommen in (aus InDesign erzeugten) PDFs als andere Glyphen an.

    InDesign 19.5.1.114 | Windows 11

    The ohm sign Ω - U+02126 is placed several times in an InDesign document:
    2x in an Illustrator graphic
    1x in another Illustrator graphic created additionally for test purposes
    1x placed directly in InDesign

    If a PDF is created from the InDesign document, only the Ohm characters present in both Illustrator graphics are written to the PDF as different Unicode characters - and also as different other Unicode characters: U+0001F and U+00016.
    (See AI-Glyph-Test.pdf)

    The problem was noticed by checking the PDF with 'PDF Accessibility Checker' from axes4: The error ‘Text object with characters without Unicode mapping’ is reported for the Ohm characters in the Illustrator graphics.
    (See PAC-Report_AI-Glyph-Test.png)

    The PAC error is not reported for the Ohm character set directly in the InDesign document. But: the glyph Ω - U+02126 set in the InDesign document was replaced by the glyph Ω - U+003A9 during PDF export.

11. Alert is shown on opening documents in InDesign(v20.0.1) - "This file is already open by another user or another application."

    Yesterday I edited a file in Indesign V19.5.1. Now I can no longer open this and many of my previous design files. I get the error message: ‘This file is already open by another user or application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it.

    I have updated to V20.0.1 and reinstalled V19.0. Both did not help. This bug has been around for a long time in different versions and it occurs regularly.

12. Placed TIF files export as grey boxes when exported to PNG format

    3. Choose File > Export, and select PNG for the export format.

    The TIF image will export as a gray box. It should export as the actual image. Even if you choose View > Display Performance > High Quality Display and export again, the TIF image will still export as a gray PNG.

    If you close the file, change the InDesign default display to High Quality, and then reopen the InDesign file containing the TIF image, the image exports properly to PNG format.

13. Adobe Fonts: Garamond Premier Pro 'Regular' is buggy, keeps disappearing in Indesign

    Hi there,

    Adobe Fonts is already fairly buggy and annoying, but InDesign also keeps losing added fonts. (InDesign 20.0.1 x64)

    In the drop down font list in InDesign, it splits fonts in the same Add Family into different groups, without giving the groups any kind of unique name so that you can tell which is which, and at the same time, it won't add both groups to the top recently-used section, such that you have to scroll down to find the missing group (and the font you just used), while having to then guess which group is the missing one. If you guess wrong, you're jumped back to the top and have to go scrolling again (or type in the font name, but the menu formatting becomes illegible then, in the sense that names are cut off and there's no longer any hierarchy, such that now you're squinting through a very long, cut-off menu, trying to find your font. It'd be helpful if the drop-down list still had some hierarchy while typing the font name, like it does when you're just scrolling through it)

    Even worse, it's having trouble finding certain added fonts, even though the whole Add Family was installed from Adobe Fonts.

    Garamond Premier Pro 'Regular' keeps disappearing in InDesign, even though the other fonts work. Medium is fine, it's the Regular that it's unhappy about. Perhaps should have been called Roman?

    (Garamond Premier gets split into a group of 22 fonts and a group of 11 Display fonts. So for example, the (22) group gets added to the recently-used fonts, but the (11) group does not, even though Display fonts are also being used. The 'Regular' font has gone pink repeatedly, even though Adobe Fonts thought it was installed. Tried removing and adding back, and InDesign has still been unable to find it)

    Thank you!

19. Cannot move spreads

    InDesign has started glitching; not allowing me to shuffle pages, and whilst attempting to move objects – they jump un-aligned to the cursor.

    I have tried simply re-starting the machine, and I have uninstalled and re-installed the program, but the issue is persisting. Do you know if there is something else that I could attempt to try and fix the issue please?

20. [ID-4260022][ExtendScript] Folder.prototype.create fails on macOS/InDesign 20.1

    Something has broken in ExtendScript's Folder.prototype.create method on MacOS and Indesign 20.1.

    To test yourself, save the following script to your disk, and run it in Indesign.

    
    (function () {
    
        var scriptFolder = File($.fileName).parent;
        var deepFolder = Folder(scriptFolder + '/A/B/C/D');
    
        if (!deepFolder.exists)
            deepFolder.create();
    
        if (deepFolder.exists) {
            alert('Folder created successfully.');
        }
        else {
            alert('Failed to create folder "' + deepFolder.fsName + '".');
        }
    
    })();
    
    

    Expected Result:
    Prior to this bug, this script would successfully create the folder and subfolders, in the same folder as the script is saved.

    Actual Result:
    Each time the script is run, it creates only one more level of sub folder. So the first time run it creates folder "A", then the next time run it creates "B" etc.
