1. Bizarre issue: footnote appearing in middle of text frame

   Never seen this one before! Changing some text to a style that uses split columns caused one of the footnotes in the text frame to jump to ABOVE the styled text. I can't even understand how this is possible given the logic of the software. See screenshot. I would like my footnotes to stay at the foot of the frame, please.

4. Subject: Why Did You Break the Zoom Tool in InDesign?

   Subject: Why Did You Break the Zoom Tool in InDesign?

   Dear Adobe Team,

   Can someone please explain why the Command + Space + drag-to-zoom behavior in InDesign was altered? This used to be a seamless, intuitive part of the workflow — one of those tiny things that made a big difference for power users.

   Now, depending on the version or OS, it either doesn’t work, lags, or flat-out refuses to cooperate unless I perform keyboard yoga. This is not an improvement. This is disruption disguised as innovation.

   I’m not asking for a new feature. I’m asking you to restore a basic function that worked perfectly well for decades. Was there truly a wave of users begging you to complicate the zoom tool?

   Please bring back the classic Command + Space + drag zoom behavior. Some of us have muscle memory older than your interns.

   Sincerely,

   Kim Fowler
   Longtime Adobe User & Disappointed Zoomer (the shortcut kind)

5. Writing in Arabic is not possible in the new version

   In the new version, it looks that writing in Arabic is not possible (the letters are not connected). Is this a bug? I tried to reinstall the new version and I already have my other Adobe products and account set to "English support Arabic" in languages

6. [ID-4272219]Text Threads disappear on adding text frames to Flex Layout

   Hello,
   I have noticed that when a file with text/frame threads is used in a Flex layout group, when exporting to idml these threads are broken.

9. Unable to select multiple objects

   Yesterday InDesign 21.0 was forced upon me and it is nothing but issues.
   This very annoying issue is that I can't select multiple objects. I click one, I hold shift to select another one - and it deselects the first one. I have tried every possible combination of keys, and multiple restarts. I can only select multiple objects by dragging across them, which does not work for all layouts, or by using CMD-A.

10. Properties panel will not go away

    Yesterday InDesign 21.0 was forced upon me and I've had nothing but troubles since.
    This specific bug is extremely annoying - I cannot get rid of the Properties panel. I have always used Essentials Classic layout, and I do not want the Properties panel. I close it. With each new file I open - the panel reopens. I cannot get it to go away.
    Make it go away, please.

11. Recurring connectivity issue with InDesign

    Hi Support Team,

    We are experiencing a recurring connectivity issue with Adobe InDesign. The same error message has appeared again, and I’m unable to open the program. My internet connection seems to be working properly, so I don’t believe that’s the cause of the problem.

    My Adobe membership/subscription is still active, and all other Adobe applications are functioning normally. This suggests that the issue isn’t related to the license itself.

    Could you please advise on what might be causing this and how to resolve it?

    First logout from your creative cloud client, reboot your computer (cold boot) and then login with your Adobe ID again.

    If this doesn't help try to reset the CC app by following the steps below:

    Bring the CC app in the foreground the press:

    • Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
    • Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

    If this doeswn't help try the steps below:

    • Sign out from the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application (Sign in and sign out to activate Creative Cloud apps)
    • Browse to the location: [System Drive]:\ProgramData\Adobe
    • Rename the 'SLStore' folder to 'SLStore_old'
    • Browse to the location: [System Drive]:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    • Rename the 'SLCache' folder to 'SLCache_old'
    • Sign in to the Adobe CC desktop app

    You may also try below steps:

    Close all Adobe apps and make sure no Adobe processes are running in Task Manager.

    1. Make sure that Hosts file does not contains Adobe URL entries with Loop back address 127.0.0.1 .
    2. Press Windows button (located between Ctrl and Alt buttons) along with R button together at a time , you will get a run command window.

    • Type in "Appdata" hit 'Enter' key.
    • It will open Appdata folder.
    • Then navigate to Local>Adobe>OOBE. Open OOBE folder and delete " Opm.db" file.

    Once you had deleted Opm.db file , Sign in to Adobe Creative Cloud app using Valid Email ID and check.

    If this fails the next step is to try a repair of the CC client. See here: Adobe app installation stuck

    If this also doesn't help the nest step is to uninstall/reinstall per linked document above.

    You can also check the following socuments. There are a lot of steps to check. Especially take a look into your HOSTS file.

12. Duplicate files opening from the Book utility

    InDesign CC2025 v20.5 / Mac Sequoia 15.6

    Opened all the documents from the Book utility then using the Book utility to navigate between them. Unlike previous versions, the CC2025 version is opening duplicates of the document instead of navigating to the one that is already open.

    I checked the same file in the older version of InDesign, CC2024. It worked correctly.

    I have been using InDesign for 17 years and have always opened or navigating to the documents from within the book utility. This is the first time in all these years that I've had this issue. I didn't realize this at first. You don't necessarily see it happening. But when I was closing the individual documents, I noticed that I had 4 times the number of documents open than I should have.

    Note: My files are on my laptop, not the network. And I am the only person working on them.

    Consulted the internet. It stated the following:
    This behavior of opening duplicates or files as read-only when working with InDesign book files, particularly in collaborative settings, has been reported as a bug in recent InDesign versions, including CC 2025.

    Here's a breakdown of the issue and potential workarounds:
    The problem
    InDesign book files are designed for collaborative work, allowing multiple users to access and edit different documents within the book. The software is supposed to show a lock icon next to a file if it's already open by another user, preventing others from opening it and making it read-only for them.

    However, in versions like InDesign CC 2025 (and potentially 19.4), this functionality is reportedly broken. The software allows multiple users to open and save changes to the same file simultaneously, leading to the creation of duplicate files.
    This issue also manifests as files opening as "unsaved" specifically when launched from the Book panel, even though they open correctly from other locations, according to the Adobe Community.

13. Lag in 20.0 and higher

    The lag in 20.0 and its updates is hard to stomach. We pay a lot for this app and it is VERY difficult to work with these issues. Evey time I click on something in a document - no matter how large a file - there is lag. Text boxes, images, color shapes/boxes. I have a brand new Mac Studio with Apple M2 Ultra and 128GB Memory - I have more than enough power to support your app. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE. I have tried all of the troubleshooting offered to no avail, and I shouldn't have to trouble shoot to make it function properly.

15. Share for review suddenly aligned left

    Since a few weeks ago (maybe longer) I've noticed that when viewing documents in Share for Review (I think this happens in Illustrator as well as InDesign) everything is aligned to the left of the screen. I'm pretty sure it used to be centered. I don't think this is a browser-specific issue - I first noticed it in Microsoft Edge but saw the same thing when I opened in Firefox.

17. Can't open or place files from Windows Explorer

    Updated to most recent version of InDesign (Beta) and Photoshop (Beta), and still can't open files by double-clicking in Windows Explorer. I also cannot drag-and-drop files from Explorer to either Adobe program. If I have a document open in InDesign, I can't drag-and-drop to place. The ONLY way I can open files in either InDesign or Photoshop is to use Open from the file menu. This is VERY annoying and time consuming.

19. Object Style defined to ignore Nonprinting changes Nonprinting status when applied to grouped frames

    Object Style defined to ignore Text Wrap & Other, when applied to a group of two frames where one has Nonprinting applied and the other does not, changes the Nonprinting status.

    Expected result: attributes in a category that is greyed out will be ignored, including Nonprinting.

    Actual result: Nonprinting turned off and frame prints and is visible in Overprint Preview.

    Pictured: The only intended purpose of the object style is to change position of frame. 1: The two frames are grouped. Large frame is live, small frame is note for designer. 2: The object style as defined. (By the way, the Text Wrap attributes are not listed in the style definition summary in the Object Style Options panel.) 3: After invoking the object style, the Nonprinting attribute of the small frame is now unchecked.
