4. Table controls are missing from Properties pane, and selection control lacks ToolTip

   I had mysterious, unselectable text in my document with multiple columns. It turned out to be a table, but this was not indicated anywhere in the UI. Not in the layer list or the Properties pane when the text frame was selected. Table properties are missing from the Properties pane even when you have the text-insertion point sitting in a table cell.

   A major contributor to the problem is that the tiny table-selection icon that appears on the left side of a table has no ToolTip, and does nothing when clicked or dragged. Only by guessing that you have to double-click it will you discover that this invokes row/column selection mode. And only then do table-related controls appear in the Properties pane.

   I would expect a ToolTip on the on-screen control, and I would expect table properties to appear in the Properties pane when you have the insertion point in the table.

5. [ID-4253057]Autonumbering in Hide Spreads is not working for Text Variables -> Insert Variable -> Last Page Number

   Text variable "Last page number" does not update with Hide Spread.

   With the newest update hiding spreads works automatically updates the pagination. This does not however change the "Last page number" variable. I often use this for screen presentations to display page X/X.

   This seems like a simple oversight in the update, but would be nice to have fixed.

   Hi,

   We have been able to reproduce the issue and it is currently under investigation.

6. 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?

7. 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)

8. 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!

9. 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.

11. 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.

12. "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。

13. 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.

17. 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?

18. 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.
