2. [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

3. InDesign 2025 changes frame size while applying object style

   If you apply an object style with only height set in size/position tab, and inset spacing, the width of the frame changes adding the inset spacing to the width. For example: 100mm width frame (no style applied) and an object style with height set to 25mm and 5mm of inset spacing in both sides (left/right). The frame with applied style will result in 110mm width.

4. InDesign 2025 (v20.3.1) freezes when interacting with modal dialog panels on macOS 15.5 (Sequoia)

   Hi Adobe team,

   I’m experiencing repeated, non-reproducible hangs in InDesign 2025 (v20.3.1) when interacting with certain modal dialog panels — such as Panel Options, Color Panel settings, and similar. This occurs on macOS 15.5 (Sequoia). After clicking inside one of these dialogs, InDesign sporadically becomes unresponsive (beachball), requiring a force quit via “Force Quit Applications.”

   The issue existed before a complete clean install of macOS and continues to occur even after the fresh system setup with no migration or prior settings carried over.

   Here are the key system details:
   • macOS version: 15.5 (24F74) – Developer Beta (Sequoia)
   • Mac model: MacBook Pro 16” M1 Max, 64 GB RAM
   • Displays: Dual Apple Studio Displays
   • InDesign version: 20.3.1 (latest Creative Cloud release as of June 2025)
   • No plugins installed
   • Font manager: RightFont (fonts synced via Dropbox folder, no Adobe plugin)
   • User environment: Freshly created custom workspaces
   • Documents: Problem occurs even with new, blank files
   • macOS was clean-installed from scratch before testing

   The hangs are unpredictable and extremely disruptive — multiple times a day — making productive work almost impossible. It’s incredibly frustrating to deal with such instability in basic UI operations like opening panel dialogs.

   Attached is a .hang report from macOS, which shows the InDesign main thread stalling in:
   UI::ModalDialogManager::RunModalLoop()
   BscModalDialog::DoModal()
   ControlPanel::ShowOptionsDialog()

   Other threads remain idle, indicating a UI-level deadlock — likely caused by a modal dialog waiting on OS-level window interaction that never completes.

   This seems related to changes in macOS 15’s window or dialog behavior, potentially affecting how InDesign renders or processes modal components.

   I understand Sequoia is still in beta, but since the issue exists in InDesign’s current public release (20.3.1) and is severe enough to disrupt daily work, I wanted to report it early.

   Please let me know if you’d like additional crash/hang logs or screen recordings — happy to assist further.

   Thanks,
   Marc

   PS: This technical explanation and hang report interpretation were created with the help of ChatGPT, since I’m not a developer myself — just a professional user trying to get work done with InDesign.

5. spell check window opening partially off-screen InDesign 2025

   When I try to launch spell check it launches partially off-screen. I cannot use the spell check, resize it or even close it.
   
   I can close indesign and re-open and it closes the window. I have tried restarting the machine and opening it on an extended window but it still opens in the top left corner of my primary screen with the top half of the window off-screen.

11. 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.

12. [ID-4257732]CMYK color specified in MathML does not match the set value

    InDesign 20.0 (2025)
    Windows /macOS

    When I apply a preset or a newly created CMYK swatch to MathML, the color does not match the value.
    It appears to be CMYK via RGB color.

    Original text (Japanese):
    MathMLに対し、プリセットや新規作成したCMYKスウォッチを適用しても、その数値どおりのカラーになりません。
    RGBカラーを経由してCMYKになっているように見えます。

    Under Review  ·  AdminVineet (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

    Thank you for trying out the MathML feature in InDesign! The math objects created using this feature are placed as SVGs, and hence they exclusively support RGB colours.If you try to apply a non RGB colour (CMYK/LAB/HSV-based), then by design it is converted to RGB before it is applied to the math object. This conversion is designed to enable users to continue using document colours that are not RGB-based for the math object SVGs.

13. [ID-4246352]NIKKUD (accents/diacritics) selection has become invisible

    InDesign version: v20 (both Mac & PC)

    Hebrew letters can use NIKKUD - vocalization diacritical marks (function like Vowels) under/above the letter.

    • In previous versions (-2023) it was possible to select only the NIKKUD (attached image) of the letter. (in order to specify the position of the NIKKUD using the Diacritic Positioning panel or to change color, etc.)
    • In the current version (2024-2025) the selection is on the entire letter, and there is no visual indication whether the letter or the NIKKUD is selected (attached image).

    Note: Sometimes there are two NIKKUD characters and even in such a case in the past it was possible to choose each separately (attached image)

15. Find/Replace text (date) after using Convert Date to Text function

    I am trying to replace text in multiple stories throughout the document. Each story is formatted with text and tabs (not a table). The find/change uses the FIND/CHANGE>TEXT option. I am searching for "28 May 2025" to change it to "2 July 2025". When I search, find, find/change, and change all, the results append the page number in triplicate in front of the leading date digit. For example, page 9 (attached) is "0909092 July 2025" and page 42 is "4242422 July 2025". When I copied the text to include in this report (see attached), only date date is captured in the clipboard (2 July 20v25).

    The reason I was doing this is I wanted to change the date to a output date Text Variable. I had hoped text variables were part of find change: the find is available in GREP, but not in the Change To options.

    So, just prior to producing the error above, I added the Output Date in the position I wanted. I could not copy the variable and use it in the Change To field, so I used the Covert Variable to Text that one instance of the output date. I copied the text '2 July 2025", and used the basic Find/Change>Text intending to change "28 May 2025" to change it to "2 July 2025". That's when ID appends the six digits that are three pairs of the page number.

    Everything works as planned if I duplicate the original document, and repeating the process leaving out the Convert to Text option.

17. Indesign opens on wrong screen with multiple monitors (Mac OS)

    This issue has been going on for years now. I recently updated to inDesign 2025, but it's still not solved for me:

    Expected result: I've assigned InDesign to open on my external monitor, just like all my other Adobe apps.
    Actual result: It completely ignores this, and just opens on my Macbook screen. The window resize buttons will be hidden behind my menu bar, so I have to alt+drag the window to make the buttons appear again. Then I can drag inDesign to my external monitor.

19. We use a template for our papers with layout/margins & columns are changing

    We set up our pages then drag the parent page onto the actual page. The parent pages are all 3 or 4 columns. When the parent page is on the actual page, checking Layout/Margins & Columns, now has 5 columns instead of its 3 or 4.

    InDesign 2025, 20.5.0.48. Intel iMac 2019. Sequoia 15.5.

    I can replicate this on my Mac Studio M2, InDesign 2025, 20.5.0.48. Sequoia 15.5
