1. idlm

   I worked on a catalogue for a festival and finished my project, then exported a package as requested by the printer.
   Of course, the package included fonts, images, and also an IDML file.

   The problem is that the export to IDML introduced some errors that ended up in the printed version. My original InDesign file looked perfectly fine, but in the IDML, some objects appeared that were not in the InDesign file at all.

   This has created a serious issue for me, as it now seems like the mistake is mine. However, I never opened the IDML to double-check everything, since this has never happened before and the IDML is usually generated automatically just for compatibility purposes.

   What should I do now? And what happens if the client holds me responsible for sending something incorrect to print?

4. When I launching InDesign

   Lately, when I launch InDesign, a dialog box immediately appears that reads: "You cannot reverse this change with the Edit>Unod command. Do you want to continue anyway?" (see screenshot) and you only have two choices: Cancel or OKAY. Being forced to choose OKAY, I'll open a Recent file of some sort, and the stupid dialog box follows me there as well, and sure enough, if I make a change and go to Command Z (I'm on a Mac), the Undo command is ignored and in fact Edit>Undo is greyed out in the menu bar. This has GOT to be a bug, right? I have figured out an annoying way of going around the problem. I'll make some tiny change — like adding an extra period at the end of a sentence and then deleting it — and then choose REVERT, after which time the issue seem to resolve itself. Again, it only seems to appear upon the initial launching of the program.

5. properties>fill panel expands off page

   Indesign Version 20.5 on OSX Tahoe

   When inDesign is at the top of the screen (i.e maximum screen size), opening the properties panel and then clicking on fill extends the fill sub menu up the screen, rendering half of the sub menu not visible unless you drag the whole application down. I don't think this is intended UI behaviour (hope not), and it's really frustrating to work with.

6. Add colour values to swatch list when placing file from Illustrator

   It would be beneficial if, when placing a file in an InDesign document from illustrator, that the colour value information of that file be added to the Swatches menu. Strangely, the colour values do import into my Swatches when I copy and paste an object I’ve created in Illustrator onto my artboard but not when I place/import that object within a picture box.

   Another minor gripe - when pasting an object it does not retain the name of the colour if it has a custom name - it only brings the swatch in as the colour values.

8. Character style applied to Table of Contents header

   When creating a book's table of contents (TOC), if you apply a character style to the first chapter, that style is applied to the TOC entry but it's also wrongly applied to the TOC header as well. It seems to be taking whatever character style that's applied to the first letter in the first chapter.

   I have a sample file I can send.
   Tested in InDesign 2024 and 2022 for Mac.
   Discussed here:
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/character-style-applied-to-table-of-contents-header/m-p/15256113#M619872

9. notes tool deactivates midway through typing note

   Every time I try to add a new note, the window to type the note briefly activates, but midway through typing my note it deactivates and greys out, deselecting both the note and the whole text thread it is part of. To continue typing the note, I need to click back into the text frame and use the arrows to get to the previous or next note to reactivate it. Then it deactivates again a second or two later. Why is it doing this? I am using 20.4.1 x64.

10. Segoe UI Emoji font visual issue in Indesign Export PDF

    I have used some smiley glyphs in my InDesign layout with the "Segoe UI Emoji" font. The smiley glyphs appear in black and white in both the InDesign Glyphs panel and my layout. However, in the exported PDF, they appear in yellow.

    Since I am working on a black-and-white layout, this is causing an issue. I am using the latest versions of InDesign 2024 and 2025. I suspect this could be an application bug. Could someone please check and confirm?

11. Objekte markieren und verschieben Sichtbarkeit

    Das Verschieben eines markierten Objektes wird erst angezeigt, wenn ich den Cursor aus dem Objekt herausbewege bzw. nach der Aktion wieder hineinbewege. (The moving of a marked object is only displayed when I move the cursor out of the object. The same backwards: I have to move the cursor back into the object and just then the movement is visible).

12. Documents appear blank after waking computer from sleep

    Anytime I leave documents open, and my computer goes to sleep (even display sleep), nothing is viewable until I close the file and reopen it. I had this problem previously, and in typical Adobe fashion it stopped and has recently come back. Incredibly annoying, and happens every time when documents are left open and the laptop goes to sleep. Seems to mostly happen when connected to a 2nd monitor.

    Indesign 20.5, Apple M1 Max, MacBook Pro, Sequoia 15.6.1

14. InDesign. 20.4.1 x64 . PNG Not Transparent

    PNG's created on up to date PSD or historical PSD versions, not showing up as Transparent for InDesign version in subject.

    Still works in 2024 version of InDesign.

    Tried reset in 2025 version; along with 3 hours of assistance with chat team. Lost reference number as chat window closed before I could copy transcript.

    Please note, not a PSD problem; tied directly to the version of ID quoted.

    Chat occuRred with Adobe team from approximately 5pm-7pm, Friday July 25, 2025, PST.

    I'm removing the 2025 version for the older version.

18. High GPU usage by WindowServer on Mac mini M4 Pro (MacOS 26 Tahoe) when running the latest version Adobe InDesign 20.5

    High GPU usage by WindowServer on Mac mini M4 Pro (MacOS 26 Tahoe) when running the latest version Adobe InDesign 20.5

    WindowServer process consistently shows 60-80% GPU utilization in Activity Monitor when running Adobe InDesign
    The problem began specifically after updating from macOS Sequoia to macOS Tahoe. WindowServer should maintain low GPU usage (3-5%) when applications are idle or performing basic tasks, as it did in macOS Sequoia 15.x..

    When InDesign is opened WindowServer consistently uses 60-80% GPU, leading to:
    - Increased power consumption
    - Potential thermal throttling
    - Reduced performance for other applications

    The problem occurs when:
    - InDesign is running in the foreground (active app)
    - InDesign is running in the background (with a document open)
    - InDesign is running in the background (without a document open)

    Temporary workaround:
    Only when the InDesign startup window and all other InDesign windows and documents are closed does the GPU usage drop to 0%.

19. variable fonts

    In a TrueType based variable font, if some nodes have implied deltas at the edge of outline, that edge can jump around as seen in the attached video. The right stem of the "n" should stay on the baseline. And it does in all other environment that I tested (Illustrator, Photoshop, Chrome, Safari …).

    I tried to attach the font but get an error that .ttf and .zip files are not allowed. Here is a link to the file in dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/69ynar0ds0k44fhsuge2j/ImpliedDeltasVF.ttf?rlkey=zccl17cd67ru4oat5qlt2eb99&st=c469cifb&dl=0

20. [ID-4263189][CPU Mode][MAC]Selection of objects does not register immediately

    I am trying to use the new 2025 version of InDesign - but it is really unusable. Running latest version (20.3) on Macos (15.4). Mac Studio with M2 Max CPU and 32 GB memory.

    One major issue I am having is that when I select a text box, it will actually not select the box until I move the mouse again. I click the box and nothing happens. When I start moving the mouse - it suddenly gets selected. If I do not move the mouse - nothing is selected - until I move the mouse. This makes it impossible to use.

    I've seen some tip on Document Font folder or Contextual Task Bar or Magnet app - but none of those are relevant for me.

    InDesign 2024 version works fine and it does not have these issues.

    I did a test on my Macbook Pro (Apple Silicon) - and no issue there - even using the same mouse as on the Mac Studio.

    I see some posts that Adobe has fixed InDesign with latest update - but that is definitely not correct...

    I uploaded a video to YouTube showing the issue. In the video one can see the pointer icon changing to the selection symbol when I actually click, but as you can see, the text box is not actually selected until I move the pointer.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erPZA0_w7gM

    Workaround:
    - Switch to GPU mode
    - Downgrade InDesign to v20.0.1.032
