1. Find/Change saved queries lose numeric precision for indent values

   Version:
   Adobe InDesign 21.0.2
   macOS 26.2
   Issue also observed in much earlier versions (since CS5.5).
   Steps to reproduce:
   Create a document with paragraph units set to millimeters.
   Create a paragraph with a left indent of exactly 5 mm.
   Open Find/Change.
   In Find Text, set Left Indent to 5 mm by typing it manually.
   Run Find – the paragraph is found.
   Save this Find/Change query.
   Reload the saved query.
   Run Find again.
   Expected result:
   The saved query should find the same paragraphs as when the value is entered manually.
   Actual result:
   After reloading the saved query, the paragraph is not found.
   Additional details:
   Via the scripting API the difference can be observed.
   Manual entry via UI:
   app.findTextPreferences.leftIndent = 14.1732283464567
   After reloading saved query:
   app.findTextPreferences.leftIndent = 14.17322834
   The reduced numeric precision causes the query to fail.
   This appears to be a precision loss when persisting Find/Change query settings.
   The issue affects both UI and scripting workflows.
   Using paragraph or character styles does not prevent this issue, as it is related to how numeric values are stored and restored in saved queries.

2. Critical workflow break: period in filename makes Save As unusable after Tahoe upgrade — no workaround

   Area: macOS 26 Tahoe – Save / Export Dialog with Indesign

   Summary:
   In macOS 26 Tahoe, the Save As filename field does not pre-populate when opening a Save As or Export dialog in Adobe InDesign. When manually retyping the filename, if the name contains a period followed by a space, the entire field is cleared the moment the space is typed. This does not happen with filenames that contain no period. No known workaround resolves this.

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. Open a document in Adobe InDesign whose filename contains a period (e.g. "April 12.26Quarter Page HorSN.indd")
   2. Go to File > Export or File > Save As
   3. Observe that the Save As field is blank — the filename is not pre-populated
   4. Begin manually retyping the filename, including a period (e.g. type "April 12.26")
   5. Type a space after the period
   6. The entire contents of the Save As field are immediately erased

   Additional reproduction path (no workaround exists):
   Even when clicking directly on the original InDesign file in the Save As dialog to repopulate the filename field, the bug persists. As soon as any character is typed at the end of the pre-filled name (e.g. typing "" to append "Proof"), the entire filename is instantly wiped. Because every file in our workflow contains a period (we date all files using a month.year format, e.g. "4.26"), there is no way to avoid triggering this bug. Every save attempt is affected.

   Expected behavior:
   - The Save As field should pre-populate with the current document filename
   - A period followed by any character should be valid input in a filename field
   - Appending characters to a pre-filled filename should not clear the field
   - This worked correctly on macOS 15 Sequoia and earlier

   Actual behavior:
   - Save As field opens blank regardless of the current document name
   - Typing a period followed by a space clears the entire field
   - Clicking the file to repopulate the field and then typing any character also clears the field
   - This only occurs when the filename contains a period — filenames without a period are unaffected

   Additional observation:
   The bug appears to be isolated to filenames containing a period. This suggests macOS may be misinterpreting the period as a file extension delimiter and rejecting any character that follows as invalid, causing it to reset the entire field.

   Impact:
   This is a critical workflow disruption. All of our work files use a month.year date format (e.g. "4.26") in the filename, meaning 100% of saves are affected with no viable workaround. Tasks that previously took minutes are now taking three times longer. This issue began immediately after updating to macOS Tahoe two days ago and has been unresolvable since.

   Comparative note:
   Colleagues who received new Macs with Tahoe pre-installed are not experiencing this issue. It appears to affect Macs that were upgraded to Tahoe from a prior macOS version, suggesting the bug may be tied to the upgrade path rather than Tahoe itself.

   Environment:
   - macOS: 26 Tahoe (upgraded from macOS 15 Sequoia)
   - Hardware: MacBook Pro M3 Pro
   - App affected: Adobe InDesign 2026 (also reported in Illustrator and Acrobat)

   Notes:
   This has been widely reported in Adobe's community forums since Tahoe's release in September 2025 and remains unresolved as of April 2026. Because the issue occurs across multiple Adobe apps, it appears to be a macOS-level bug in the system Save dialog rather than an app-specific issue.

   I've included a screen recording of this example being exported. Note that I am NOT hitting the "delete" button. I'm hitting the space bar and then in the second attempt I'm trying to type an underscore to save another version of the file in the folder.

3. Pages panel not scrolling to allow all pages to be accessible

   InDesign v21.3 (Updated last week, no issues until today. Daily use)

   This morning when I opened InDesign, I discovered I was unable to scroll and select the last page of the document. The top half of the last page is visible through the bottom bar of the panel where the number of pages is displayed but unclickable. This prevents a change of parent page style, addition of pages in the correct parent style or the selection to override the parent page style.

   I have tried resetting my workspace, restarting Indesign and changing panel views. The bottom row remains elusive.

5. Hyphenation zone settings override discretionary hyphen exclusivity

   Adobe InDesign Hyphenation Bug Report

   Summary

   Conflict between discretionary hyphen behavior and "After First / Before Last" hyphenation zone settings, where InDesign ignores discretionary hyphens that fall within the prohibited hyphenation zone.

   Product Information

   • Product: Adobe InDesign
   • Component: Text Composition / Hyphenation Engine
   • Feature Area: Automatic Hyphenation and Discretionary Hyphens

   Problem Description

   Expected Behavior

   According to Adobe's documentation, discretionary hyphens should have absolute priority over automatic hyphenation rules. Specifically:

   "Entering a discretionary hyphen in a word does guarantee that the word can be broken only where the discretionary hyphen appears."

   When a word contains a discretionary hyphen that falls within the "After First X Letters" or "Before Last X Letters" prohibited zone, InDesign should:
   1. Respect the discretionary hyphen's exclusivity (only break where discretionary hyphen appears)
   2. Refuse to break the word at all since the only allowed break point falls within the prohibited zone
   3. Not apply automatic hyphenation anywhere else in the word

   Actual Behavior

   InDesign ignores the discretionary hyphen when it falls within the prohibited hyphenation zone and applies automatic hyphenation rules instead, breaking the word at algorithmically-determined positions that fall outside the prohibited zone.

   Conflicting Features

   Feature 1: Document Hyphenation Preferences

   • Location: Paragraph Panel Menu > Hyphenation Settings
   • Setting: "After First [X] Letters / Before Last [X] Letters"
   • Purpose: Defines minimum character zones at word beginnings/endings where hyphenation should not occur
   • Example: With "After First 3 Letters / Before Last 3 Letters", the word "aromatic" may hyphenate as "aro-matic" but not "ar-omatic" or "aromat-ic"

   Feature 2: Discretionary Hyphens

   • Location: Type > Insert Special Character > Hyphens And Dashes > Discretionary Hyphen
   • Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+- (Windows) or Command+Shift+- (macOS)
   • Purpose: Manually specify the only allowable break point in a word
   • Expected Behavior: Word can only break at the discretionary hyphen location, regardless of other settings

   Steps to Reproduce

   1. Create a new InDesign document
   2. Set up hyphenation preferences:
      • Go to Paragraph Panel Menu > Hyphenation Settings
      • Enable "Hyphenate"
      • Set "After First [3] Letters"
      • Set "Before Last [3] Letters"
   3. Create a text frame with justified text
   4. Insert a word where a discretionary hyphen would fall within the 3-letter prohibited zones
      • Example: Insert discretionary hyphen in "example" as "ex•ample" (where • represents the discretionary hyphen)
      • This discretionary hyphen falls in the "Before Last 3 Letters" zone
   5. Force line break to require hyphenation of this word

   Expected Result

   Word should not hyphenate at all, since the only allowed break point (discretionary hyphen) falls within the prohibited zone.

   Actual Result

   InDesign ignores the discretionary hyphen and hyphenates the word using automatic rules at a different location (e.g., "exam-ple").

   Impact

   Severity: Medium to High

   • Typography Quality: Undermines precise typographic control
   • Workflow Disruption: Manual intervention required to fix each occurrence
   • Consistency Issues: Unpredictable behavior between discretionary and automatic hyphenation
   • Professional Publishing: Affects quality of professional publications where precise hyphenation control is critical

   User Groups Affected

   • Professional typesetters and designers
   • Book and magazine publishers
   • Technical documentation teams
   • Any users requiring precise hyphenation control

   Technical Analysis

   Root Cause

   The hyphenation engine appears to process the "After/Before Letters" rules after or independently of discretionary hyphen evaluation, rather than respecting the documented hierarchy where discretionary hyphens should override all other hyphenation rules.

   Proposed Solution

   Modify the hyphenation algorithm to:
   1. First check for discretionary hyphens in the word
   2. If discretionary hyphen found: Evaluate if it falls within prohibited zones
   3. If in prohibited zone: Do not hyphenate the word at all
   4. If outside prohibited zone: Use only the discretionary hyphen break point
   5. Only if no discretionary hyphen: Apply automatic hyphenation rules with zone restrictions

   Workarounds

   Current Workarounds (Inefficient)

   1. Manual intervention: Individually edit each problematic word break inserting discretiona hyphen at start of word to prevent it from breaking.
   2. Character Style with No Break: Apply No Break character formatting to words with problematic discretionary hyphens
   3. Adjust zone settings: Reduce "After/Before Letters" values (compromises typography for other words)
   4. Remove discretionary hyphens: Use only automatic hyphenation (loses manual control)

   Limitation of Workarounds

   All workarounds require manual identification and correction of each instance, making them impractical for large documents or automated workflows.

   Documentation References

   Adobe InDesign Help: Text Composition

   • URL: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/text-composition.html
   • Relevant Quote: "Entering a discretionary hyphen in a word does guarantee that the word can be broken only where the discretionary hyphen appears."

   Hyphenation Settings Documentation

   • After First / Before Last Letters: "Specify the minimum number of characters at the beginning or end of a word that can be broken by a hyphen."

   Additional Information

   Related Features That Work Correctly

   • Discretionary hyphens function properly when they fall outside the prohibited zones
   • "After/Before Letters" settings work correctly with automatic hyphenation
   • No Break character formatting consistently prevents hyphenation

   Test Case Suggestions

   Adobe should test various combinations of:
   - Different "After/Before Letters" values (2, 3, 4, 5 characters)
   - Discretionary hyphens at different positions within words
   - Various word lengths and compositions
   - Different paragraph composers (Adobe Paragraph Composer vs. Single-line Composer)

   ---

   Request: Please prioritize this bug fix as it affects fundamental typographic control and contradicts documented behavior. The fix should ensure discretionary hyphens always take absolute precedence over automatic hyphenation rules, including zone restrictions.

   Adobe InDesign Hyphenation Bug Report

6. Linked image within illustrator file not appearing when placed in indesign

   Using:
   InDesign 21.1
   Link created in Illustrator 30.2.1

   I have a map created in Illustrator with a background (flattened) tiff which displays fine in Illustrator. Once placed into InDD, the tiff won't appear (layer is ON and printing) and doesn't get included in exports (thus eliminating a rendering issue of any kind).
   This has happened on 2 separate files but is fine in others with the same set-up.
   On occasion the tiff will reappear...
   This is a recent 'development' in past 2 weeks.

7. InDesign 2026 cursor scaling problem

   Subject: Cursor remains extremely small on 27-inch 4K monitor despite all available scaling settings

   I would like to report a HiDPI scaling issue in Adobe InDesign 2026 that affects usability on professional 4K monitors.

   My setup consists of two displays connected to the same Windows PC:

   • ASUS ProArt PA279CRV – 27-inch, 3840 × 2160 (4K)
   • KOORUI 27-inch – 1920 × 1080 (Full HD)

   When InDesign is displayed on the KOORUI Full HD monitor, the text cursor (insertion point) appears at a normal and comfortable size. However, when I move the exact same InDesign window to the ASUS ProArt PA279CRV 4K monitor, the cursor becomes extremely small and difficult to see.

   I have already tested all available scaling-related options without success:

   • Windows display scaling at multiple values, including 100%, 125%, 150%, 175%, 200%, and higher available settings.
   • InDesign Preferences → User Interface Scaling → UI Sizing set to Large.

   • Windows Compatibility settings:

     • Application
     • System
     • System (Enhanced)

   • Restarting InDesign after each change.

   None of these settings significantly improve the cursor size on the 4K display.

   It is important to note that the Windows cursor itself scales correctly and remains clearly visible throughout the operating system. The issue appears to be specific to InDesign’s text insertion cursor. The behavior can be reproduced instantly by simply moving the InDesign window from the Full HD monitor to the 4K monitor, without changing any other settings. This indicates that the problem is related to how InDesign handles HiDPI scaling on 4K displays.

   Because both monitors are 27 inches, the physical size difference is not caused by screen size but by the much higher pixel density of the 4K display. As a result, the insertion cursor becomes disproportionately small compared to the rest of the interface.

   I would also like to emphasize that reducing the monitor resolution is not an acceptable workaround. I specifically purchased the ASUS ProArt PA279CRV for professional graphic design, catalog production, image editing, and color-critical work at its native 3840 × 2160 resolution. Lowering the resolution defeats the purpose of using a professional 4K monitor.

   I kindly request that Adobe review and improve the scaling behavior of the text insertion cursor in InDesign on HiDPI and 4K displays, or provide a dedicated option to independently adjust cursor thickness and visibility.

   Thank you for your time and consideration.

   This option was updated in InDesign 20.0 version to match industry standards and stay consistent. We standardized this behavior to make workflows more predictable across products. 

   We know that changes can take some adjustment, and we appreciate the feedback we received. Over time, users have adapted to this new behavior, which helps us maintain consistency and avoid confusion in future workflows.

   We appreciate everyone’s input and your help in making InDesign better!

9. Screen does not refresh in all cases

   Every now and then, InDesign shows things in a previous state, which is very confusing.
   E..g. when adding a page break, the break is added, but the text remains, until the document is scrolled. The screen does not seem to refresh after this action.

   I am on a Mac Studio M3 Ultra, InDesign 21.4

10. Cursore cambia in clessidra

    Versone 21.4 x 64
    Il cursore si trasforma in clessidra e resta così per tutto il tempo rendendo impossibile comprendere ad esempio i punti di input del testo.
    Ho provato ad installare nuovamente il software ma il problema è sempre lì.
    Credo anche che sia correlato alla presenza di immagini nel documento poichè mi pare che a volte inizi da quando si inseriscono immagini.

    Per favore aiuto perché non si riesce a lavorare così.

11. HEIC file usability

    I just embedded twenty HEIC files in an INDD file and the file rapidly became extremely sluggish. The color wheel of death spun regularly for almost every 5th action step. Even simple adjustments into the file, caused the color wheel to spin. Its time to get this bug fixed from Indesign.

12. FX Blending Modes not working

    I'm running InDesign on an Intel iMac Pro OS X 15.7.7. It has just updated to 21.4 and the FX pane doesn't appear to be working. I select the frame I want to apply the FX blending mode to (multiply in this case) and nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I assign the blending mode by going to the main menu Object > Effects > Transparency,

    Is anyone else having this issue?

13. Linked Illustrator Files Not Displaying Correctly in InDesign

    We are experiencing an issue where Illustrator (.ai) files with linked assets are not displayed correctly when placed in InDesign.

    InDesign does not properly render or recognize the linked content inside the Illustrator file, which affects preview and output accuracy. Currently, the only workaround is to embed all links in Illustrator before placing the file, which increases file size and slows down the workflow.

    Please advise if there is a fix or recommended workflow for handling linked assets between Illustrator and InDesign.

14. In v 21.3, shift and control shift don't work with arrow keys to nudge in larger or smaller increments

    In InDesign v 21.3, my arrow keys work to nudge elements in 1 px increments, but I'm not able to nudge in larger or smaller increments. When I hold the shift key and press the arrow to nudge 10px, nothing happens. When I hold the shift and control keys and press the arrows to nudge .01 px, nothing happens. This feature works fine in InDesign v 20 and Illustrator v 30.3. I'm surrently running v 20 to avoid this issue.

15. Upon migration to a version 21.4 pasteboard size is not carried on

    Upon migration to a version 21.4 pasteboard size is not carried on. I always set my defaults to 256 x 128 or 512 x 128 mm but upon migration of my preferences to a new InDesign these has been reset to defaults.

16. When trying to make a new doc does not allow me to because margins were set to big on last doc

    On last doc I made I needed big margins, so
    - previous doc I made 350mm margins
    - went to make new file
    - new doc
    - made dims of page smaller like 150mm x 1000mm
    - error warning saying not allowing me to make doc due to big margins
    - try to change margins its not letting me make doc.

    In old versions of indesign it would just make massive margins that would meet in the middle like a tiny pink square in middel of page, then let you make the doc without any warning and then you would just reset you margins if you wanted them.

    This blocking of making new doc is not expected or fluid, I had to try about 10-15x to make the doc, eventually I switched to auto page layout and reduced margins there and it let me, but the warning is not clear.

    This is just wrong, coming from some one who used Quark from 1993-1999, Page maker 1994-96, Indesign 1999-2026 almost everyday.

    Really its just wrong and a massive bug. I should not be blocked from making a file just for having margins on my last doc too big.

    Users will not be able to launch InDesign via Rosette. Apple has started to notify customers. Reference link: https://support.apple.com/en-in/102527

18. Type Pipette

    Type Pipette does not work. No specific steps necessary to reproduce. When using it tints the text in a random color instead of applying font styles such as size, leading and color. I am using a MacBook Pro, 2023 MacOS Tahoe 26.0.1, Indesign 21.3. Already tried to de- and re-install. Shut down computer and even deleting settings manually form Library. Then in worked for like a day and after stopped working again.

19. links

    In InDesign 2026 21.2, when opening an .indd document in a package folder, the links cannot be found in the Links folder, even though it is in the correct location.
    Opening the .idml file in InDesign 2026 21.2 works.
    Opening the .idml file in InDesign 2025 20.5.2 works normaly, and saving the document as .indd from InDesign 2025 and then opening it in InDesign 2026 works again.
    This is therefore a serious bug in InDesign 2026.

20. Varningsruta

    Får en varningsruta så fort jag ska använda InDesign, kommer upp ofta.
    Version 21.4 x64
    Fungerade bra innan uppgraderingen.

    Vad kan ha hänt?
