1. 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.

3. [ID-4273762] Critical bug — Dropdown / <select> / sp-picker not working in UXP plugin under InDesign 2025 (Win & Mac)

   I'm contacting you about a recurring bug I've encountered—and that several other developers have reported—since the Adobe InDesign 2025 update (versions 20.4, 20.4.1, 20.5).

   🔹 Problem Description

   • In a plugin using Adobe UXP (UI HTML or Spectrum), the dropdown elements <select>—or <sp-picker>—no longer respond to clicks: the border may change color, but the list doesn't open, and it's impossible to select an item.

   • Even when using minimal HTML code or testing from UXP Developer Tools (Playground), the problem persists.

   • This bug seems to affect several environments (Windows 11, different versions of InDesign, and possibly macOS as well, according to community feedback).

   • In some cases, events (click, change, keydown, etc.) are no longer emitted for form controls.
     Adobe Creative Cloud Developer Forums

   🔹 Impact

   Existing plugins become unusable — users are unable to enter or select options, thus blocking normal operation.

   Production usage is severely disrupted.

   Loss of confidence in the stability of the UXP runtime.

   🔹 Step to reproduce

   1 - Create starter package
   2 - Add select with options tags
   3 - Use UXP Developer tools or package it
   4 - Open panel in Indesign 2025
   - under 20.4 version, it works fine. We can open option in select
   - upper 20.3 version, select tags, checkbox,... doesn't work

   🔹 What I'm asking

   Can you confirm that this bug has been identified internally?

   Is there a planned fix (future version or update) to restore the behavior of dropdown lists/sp-picker/select in UXP under InDesign 2025?

   If not, is it possible to obtain an official workaround (patch, beta build, directive) for our plugins in production?

   Thank you in advance for your help—this bug seriously compromises the reliability of UXP plugins. I am available to provide code examples, reproductions, or logs if that would be helpful.

   Sincerely,
   Stéphane Senocq

4. Deleting an odd number of pages causes the text frame derived from the primary text frame to double

   1. specify a primary text frame for both the left and right pages on the parent page. (figure1)
   2. Delete an odd number of pages. At this time, the parent page is reapplied.
   3. The text frame will be doubled. (figure2)

   Deleting (or adding) an even number of pages will not result in this behavior.
   Deletion/addition of an odd number of pages should not cause doubling.
   Specifically, we would like the text chain of the text frame for which the primary text frame is specified to be retained. (figure3)

   Reference:
   I believe the primary text chain is a feature that was added with the automatic text chain that was in QuarkXPress in mind, but the automatic text chain in QX did not cause duplication when odd number of pages were increased or decreased.

   ページを奇数枚削除した場合、プライマリーテキストフレーム由来のテキストフレームが二重化する

   1.　親ページで、左右ページともにプライマリーテキストフレームを指定しておく。（figure1)
   2.　ページを奇数枚削除する。このとき、親ページの再適用が行われる。
   3.　テキストフレームが二重化する。（figure2）

   偶数枚のページの削除（もしくは追加）では、この挙動にはならない。
   奇数枚のページの削除／追加でも、二重化しないようにしてほしい。
   具体的には、プライマリーテキストフレームが指定されているテキストフレームのテキストチェーンが保持されるようにしてほしい。（figure3）

   参考：
   プライマリテキストチェーンは、QuarkXPressにあった自動テキストチェーンを意識して追加された機能だと思っているが、QXの自動テキストチェーンでは、奇数枚のページの増減で二重化が起きることはなかった。

6. Show Import Options no longer stays checked

   The "show import options" box will not stay checked in the "Place" window. Sometimes it does stay checked for one or two items but if you are importing more than that it will not stay checked.

   Previously it stayed checked until the next time that inDesign was restarted. This may seem minor but is an extreme inconvenience and severely hindering workflow.

   Version: 20.5

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. While working in document, Control+D (or "File>Place")
   2. Sees "Show Import Options" is unchecked, check box
   3. Place object
   4. Control+D to place new object
   5. Sees "Show Import Options" is unchecked AGAIN, re-check box
   6. Place new object
   7. Repeat ad nauseam

   Expected result: When "Show Import Options" is checked after first use, it will stay checked until the program is shut down and re-opened.

   Actual result: Not that.

7. PDF Not updating on export

   Adobe InDesign 21.2
   I've been noticing when I export a pdf and override my last version that the changes do not update the new pdf version. I have to change the file name completely. I even deleted the file, re-exported, with the same name and it pulls the old PDF up!
   I've used this process for awhile and it's suddenly not working.

8. Myriad VF has a taller Ascent Baseline than Myriad Pro

   Myriad VF is supposed to be a variable version of Myriad Pro, so I was trying to use it in tandem/to replace Myriad Pro in the document I am working on. The huge problem is, for some reason the Ascent Baseline on Myriad VF is much taller than it should be, which then when I try to replace the font, it completely messes up everything. 

   I also have Myriad Variable Concept on my computer, (which is apparently supposed to only show up in Illustrator, or something? But it shows up in InDesign for me.) And it properly matches the Ascent baseline of Myriad Pro. 

   All 3 of them match on every baseline except Ascent too, so I’m thinking this is a bug. It only seems to effect things in InDesign, I’m not getting any misalignment in Photoshop or Illustrator, but I’m also not seeing all the same text box options in those programs that InDesign gives.

11. Highlighting or Changing Text

    I’m experiencing an issue when highlighting text to delete it, changing the case, or switching fonts. The entire text, including the text above (on the same page), disappears. If I scroll up and then back down, I can make it reappear.

12. [ID-4273263]With application frame "OFF", and multiple documents open InDesign 26 will resize them when switching between

    Before upgrading, I used to be able to have multipe .indd docs open next to a spreadsheet on my screen, now they automatically change size when I switch between them, seemingly "remembering" the state they were last resized to.

13. Ongoing performance issues with large InDesign files

    We’re running into frequent slowdowns and crashes when working with large InDesign documents (lots of pages, linked assets, complex styles, long text flows). It’s happening across multiple machines, not just one setup.
    At Tech Formation, we support teams that depend on InDesign for real production work, and these issues are starting to affect delivery timelines and workflows.
    It would be great to know whether this is a known issue and whether there’s any workaround or logging we can enable to help diagnose it.

16. [ID-4262670][ERROR(RSC-005) in EPUB Checker]InDesign 20.3 creates target attributes to every link in EPUB

    The latest InDesign version (20.3) creates target="_blank" attributes to every link when exported as EPUB. Doesn't matter if the link contains URL or it's a link from a text anchor. The latest EPUB Check version (5.2.1) gives an error with every link that doesn't have href attribute which means every text anchor is invalid.

    For example:
    <h1 id="_idParaDest-1" class="Header-1"><a id="_idTextAnchor000" target="_blank"></a>Foreword</h1>

    In EPUB Check this is an error:
    ERROR(RSC-005): Error while parsing file: element "a" missing required attribute "href"

18. Continuous issues with 21.1 on Windows 11 - Won't Open/Crashing

    Since updating to 21.1 (2026), I have to repair the Visual C++ Redistributables, restart, and then reset preferences with Shift+Ctrl+Alt just to get InDesign to open. Error OXC0000142. I have done this numerous times, and each week, I have to do it again.

    It also has crashed my (and others on our team) computers which makes them boot into the BIOS to a Support Repair screen.

    21.1 is near unusable at this point.

19. Severe InDesign Performance Issues

    I’m reporting severe and ongoing performance problems with InDesign that are significantly affecting day-to-day work.

    The application has become consistently slow and laggy during normal use — including delays when clicking, saving, zooming, switching pages, placing assets, and general UI responsiveness. At times, even simple actions take several seconds and the software feels almost unusable.

    While performance is worse when working from Dropbox-synced folders, the same lag and delays also occur when working with files stored fully locally. This suggests the issue is not limited to cloud storage and may be a broader performance problem within InDesign itself.

    This behavior is happening across regular production files and is causing major productivity loss for our workflow.

    Please investigate and prioritize improvements to overall performance and stability. InDesign is currently much slower than other Adobe applications and has become difficult to use efficiently.

    Thank you for your assistance.
