1. Variable font sliders are laggy

   Variable font sliders are much less smooth in InDesign, compared to Illustrator. They are much laggier.

   Attached is a screen recording of the Acumin variable font being used in Illustrator (top) and InDesign (bottom).

3. screen redraw

   InDesign 18.x through 19.5. Mac, Apple Silicon, M1 Max w/ 96 GB RAM and at least 1 TB free storage, M3 Max w/128 GB Ram and at least 1 TB free storage.

   Basically, sometimes the screen becomes “corrupted” and weirdly glitched. Closing the file and reopening fixes it, but that is not acceptable when it is super frequent. Which it is.

   This has been a problem for over a year, across multiple full InDesign versions. It happened on my M1 MacBook Pro, and still happening on my M3.

   Typically these documents involved a placed PDF page that itself is a scanned document, usually at something like 300 dpi. I am trying to do a typed text block on top of and/or adjacent to it.

   (This has been a huge source of grief, makes me think about switching to another app for these kind of layout needs. Given that I have been using InDesign since before it first shipped, that would make me sad.)

4. Certain dialogue boxes appear partially off screen and can't be moved back on screen

   Certain dialogue boxes appear partially off screen and can't be moved back on screen. For example, the Find/Change dialogue box and the Export dialogue box [specifically export to PDF (Print)] have both become almost unusable for me because important sections of those two boxes are located off screen. See attached screenshots. Dialogue boxes that allow you to expand them by clicking and dragging the edges/corners of the box are less of an issue - they often appear partially off screen, but once they're expanded at all, the whole dialogue box pops back into view. The Find/Change and Export dialogues do not allow this kind of expansion so that trick does not work for them. I've tried all the fixes that I've seen suggested for this issue online, including restarting my computer and changing the resolution of my displays, but none have worked. I've even updated to Windows 11 and that didn't fix it. I am using InDesign 2024 version 19.5 on Creative Cloud Desktop. There are currently no updates available for InDesign.

5. Arabic shadda and out of position when it comes between ain and lam, and it prevents the ain and lam from connecting

   Using the Google font Cairo Variable, in this sequence, "فَعَّل," the medial ain will not connect to the lam. The shade (0651 + 0643) intervenes and sets in the wrong position.

   To Reproduce
   In InDesign (perhaps other programs as well), key or copy/paste the sequence with Cairo variable loaded and applied. Then Unload Cairo variable and load Cairo Regular static to see what the corrected sequence.

   Expected behavior
   The shadda should be centered above the ain.

   I have contacted the font manufacturer, and the font behaves as expected in their tests. I also tested the font myself in Illustrator, and the sequence is correct with both the variable and static fonts.

6. 2025 out of memory

   When I am exporting an interactive pdf from indesign 2025, i get an out of memory error. Closing and reopening indesign helps this problem. I have made this kind of pdf many times and this has never happened as often as it does now, maybe a handful of times over the past few years.

8. TOC Generation or Update Crashes InDesign 2025

   macOS 15.2, InDesign 20.0.1

   When I generate or update a TOC there is a roughly 7 in 10 chance InDesign 2025 will crash. This happens with multiple documents and has been happening consistently with every document since the release of 20.0 in October.

   • I initially thought it was because I was using ID '25 on macOS Ventura, but it's still happening with existing and new documents since updating my Mac to Sequoia.
   • Additionally, the same files moved to other computers (Windows 10, for example) also crash there when generating, updating TOCs.
   • Happens whether the documents in question are standalone or booked, with or without other TOCs in same document, with and without other documents opened.
   • No problems with ID '22, '23, or '24 on the same computer, with the same content in new documents or with the pre-existing documents that had pre-25 file versions.
   • Happens with vanilla, plain text headings (no GREP styles, no Xrefs, no text variables).

   I had hoped that all those literally more than 100 automatic bug reports would have had Adobe fix the problem or reach out to me for info, but no. My own troubleshooting hasn't turned up the culprit, so I'm asking the community for help.

   It literally took me a (work) week to generate the table of contents for InDesign Masterclass: Type & Tables: 2025 Edition (and actually delayed the publication of that book by more than a week) because InDesign crashed every single time, hour after hour, of trying to generate  the TOC for the INDB book of 12 INDDs. If I hadn't needed to teach MathML in the book, I wouldn't have used InDesign 2025 at all, and would have reverted to '24.

   For InDesign Masterclass: Text Techniques book I lost ALMOST a week with the same crashing. In the end, I built the table of contents by hand, line by line, hyperlink by hyperlink, instead of using InDesign's built-in TOC feature.

9. Selected text does not highlight

   Selected text does not highlight on some spreads only: when I double-click inside a text frame in InDesign, the usual highlight that indicates the selection does not appear on some spreads in the document, in other it does work.
   This makes the work very challenging.

10. CEP HTML Engine

    In Task Manager, "CEP HTML Engine" spawns a couple dozen instances--is that the cause of numerous crashes? We just installed InDesign (and CC) 2024 (v. 19.5.1) for testing on both Windows 10 and 11 Enterprise. InDesign is hanging when I do basic tasks: copy & paste, move a graphic frame, delete a paragraph. The only way to recover is by ending the task in Task Manager. These issues are happening on multiple PCs, and different files. Does Adobe do any testing with CC on Windows?

11. Bug: blank lines between footnotes when aligned to baseline grid

    Found a serious bug in which aligning footnotes to the baseline grid adds blank lines between footnotes, even if the paragraph style has no space before/after, the leading is smaller than the baseline grid increment, and the footnote options specify no space before or between notes. This is breaking my workflow and I can't find a way around it without deselecting "align to baseline grid," which causes other problems.

12. Custome page size rotation

    If I go to the parent pages to adjust an existing master (I had portrait tabloid parent pages), and I adjust the second page to be a letter-sized page, even if I select landscape for the new page size it defaults to portrait.

13. Cursor clicking and dragging when only clicking.

    When just clicking somewhere on-screen (e.g. clicking a different swatch colour or clicking on a text box), sometimes the cursor will click and drag the item as well. I have tried multiple mice (3) and still have the same issue with each one, making me assume it may be a software issue.

15. embeded Illustrator documents in InDesign looses page information, after being used in library

    We have following situation:
    InDesign library with an embeded Illustrator document. this document has pages (used for different icons). I have placed page 3 of the Illustrator file in as InDesign document. I place the element in an library in InDesign.
    I place the same object from the library in the document. The Element looses the pageinformation. the preview is still correct, but when i export an PDF it collects the information from the illustrator file again and it has an other icon in its place…

    So it is a massive problem of missmanaging elements and creates Errors in production! Please fix ASAP!

    Setup:
    MACOS 14.6.1
    INDD 19.5
    Illustrator 29.0 (created in an earlier version)

16. InDesign resets window position set by Magnet utility on macOS

    In the current v19.4 (2024), when I use the common utility Magnet to resize the InDesign window (i.e. the Application Frame) to full screen, InDesign itself will reset the window position as soon as I ⌘-tab out of InDesign and return to it. No other app on my Mac does this, and it's very frustrating. Manual window size changes are honoured.

    There are other inconcistencies about InDesign's window positioning on macOS too — if it opens on my laptop screen, the application bar (above the control panel) appears under the menu bar and is almost invisible.

    Please fix.

17. InDesign 2024 starts with "CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2023")" in an environment where 2023 and 2024 coexist.

    Reproduction steps
    1. InDesign 2023 (18.x) is installed on Windows
    2. Install InDesign 2024 (19.0) there.
    3. Run the following code in VBScript.
    Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2023")

    Expected result
    InDesign 2024 (19.0) will start.

    Actual result
    InDesign 2023 (18.0) will start.

    cause
    InDesign 2024 installer is overwriting the 2023 registry.
    \HKCR\CLSID{231441AB-8969-4F6D-8CD1-B596C4047898}
    is the registry for InDesign 2023, but the InDesign 2024 installer has rewritten the contents to InDesign 2024. The same goes for related registries.

18. Duplicated characters ONLY IN PDF EXPORT!

    The following process creates a bug,
    which only appears when exporting to PDF:

    1) Write a few words (in Hebrew) and add 2 footnotes
    2) Set 'No break' to one of the characters between the 2 footnote references
    Bingo!
    Only it the PDF will the bug appear -
    The character (comma\colon\letter) after the first comment - is doubled!!!

    In InDesign everything looks normal!
    You only discover the mistake in the PDF/after printing!!

20. Add a Back Button to Navigate Recently Changed Items in Find/Change

    I frequently use the Find/Change feature in InDesign for text and style replacements. However, it would be very helpful to have a "Back" button or feature to navigate to the last changed instance, especially when working on long documents.

    Currently, the only workaround is manually using Undo (Ctrl+Z/Cmd+Z), but this isn't ideal for reviewing multiple changes. A "Go Back" option would enhance productivity and reduce errors by allowing users to quickly review recent changes.

    Thank you for considering this request!
