1. Moving pages not working because of "locked" content?

   In 2025 I have a file where I am trying to copy pages into another file and I get a pop up message saying "Cannot modify elements that contain locked content, or are contained by locked content. Please unlock or check out the content and try again." This makes no sense, I have never seen this before. There is NO reason for (as it turns out) having a locked object on a page to preclude me from moving/copying that page, this is isnane.

2. [ID-4259937][Document Specific] InDesign and InDesign Server go into infinite recompose

   The attached IDML file is a minimized test case for an infinite recompose loop. To start the loop, open the document in an InDesign client and select the gray text frame and turn off its text wrap property. To stop the loop, select Undo or close the document.

   The test case is taken from a real-world IDS incident where this loop monopolized the IDS process for several minutes until our watchdog killed it.

   (Reproduced with Adobe Indesign CC 2025 v20.1.0.71 running on MacBook Pro M3 / macOS 15.2.)

3. Paragraph shading disappears randomly when working in Indesign

   Expected result: the shading is displayed as it is applied in the settings, also when making an adjustment.

   Actual result: When opening the Indesign file, the shading is displayed correctly. But when a change is made in the area with paragraph shading, the shading randomly disappears in some places and the edges of the shading are not displayed correctly, which makes it impossible to make accurate changes in the shading. In the pdf, the shading is displayed correctly, as it is applied in the settings. So no problem there. It is merely when working in Indesign that the display of the shading is faulty.

   Reproduce: make an adjustment in the shaded area. Text in colums, anchored objects in text, placed images, shading merged

4. Searching and finding overset text no longer changes to the page this text is on

   In InDesign 2024, you can search for text that happens to be overset (outside a text box). When you press find next, the page changes to the location of this text box with the matching overset text.

   In InDesign 2025 version 20.01, you can search for overset text (outside the text box). The page will not change if the matching text is overset.

   Being able to search for text that is inside an overset text box, and knowing what page it is on, is an important function. Can we get this back? Seems like a simple fix.

5. App window resizes after presentation mode

   InDesign 2025 (v 20.0) on Mac OS 14.6.1

   When opening presentation mode (Shift + W or View > Screen Mode > Presentation …) and going back to default/preview mode the application window resizes.
   When having the app window to its full size after presentation mode it changes back to its smaller size that you can toggle by using the green plus icon on the top left (Mac Version).

   When setting both window states manually to full size and toggling between the two (without effective size change) once it works afterwards the window stays in the same size when escaping presentation mode. But this does not work all the time an is a quite annoying work around.

   I also got help via the support chat and tried to quit and reopen. This does not help. I reinstalled the previous version (Indesign 2024 v 19.5) and there it works fine.

6. Multiple Issues

   I've noticed three glitches very recently in Adobe InDesign 2025. #1 - Seems like every other time I open the print dialog box to select the printer I want to use, the printers are in a different order in the list. #2 - Often times, when I open a document, my keyboard shortcuts won't work. I have to close the document and then re-open it to get them to work. #3 - Most frustrating is, I start to create a new document. I enter the document size into the New Document window and when I hit the Create button and it opens, the document is a completely different size than what I entered.

7. Selecting text on black background doesn't highlight selection

   Version: Adobe Indesign 2025 (20.0)
   The probled occured in a file that works perfectly in Indesign 19.5. However, when I open the same file in 20.0, the error occurs.

   Problem: When I try to edit text on a black background, the selected words aren't highlighted. It happens on some pages but not all. The layers aren't locked.

   How to reproduce:
   - create a master page with a black background
   - create several pages
   - add text boxes with white text in it
   - try to select the text inside the box

   Expected result:
   - selected text is highlighted in white

   Actual result:
   - on some pages, the text highlight isn't visible (although it is actually selected)

8. the first letter of the heading does not appear in the result.

   Adobe Indesign (19.0 : 20.0) 2024-2025 / Mac os Sequoia 15.0.1

   open indesign and Type the fully diacritized Arabic text, Assign paragraph sytle, go to Text variable - Define - New - Running Header «Paragraph Style» - Assign.
   The text is expected to display correctly without errors; however, contrary to this, the first letter of the fully diacritized text does not appear. This issue arises when exporting to PDF.

9. InDesign Buttons in Interactive PDF Not Receiving Visible Focus When Tabbing

   Product and Version: Adobe InDesign 20.3 (2025) & Acrobat Pro 2025.001

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Create a Button in InDesign using Buttons and Forms panel.
   2. Assign an action like "Go to Next Page" with event "On Release or Tap."
   3. Export as Interactive PDF with "Create Tagged PDF" and "Use Structure for Tab Order" enabled.
   4. Open in Acrobat.
   5. Tab through the document.

   Expected result: Button should show visible focus indicator when selected by keyboard tabbing, to meet WCAG 2.4.7 Focus Visible.

   Actual result: Button can be activated by Enter but shows no visible focus indicator. Rollover and Click states do not activate on tabbing. Hyperlinks, and other form fields like Checkboxes show proper focus highlighting, but not Buttons. This causes accessibility failure for keyboard users.

10. How to Fix Panels Opening Half Off-Screen on the Right?

    Adobe InDesign 2025 (v20.0) running on an Apple iMac, Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019 with MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1

    When I have my panels-window set close to the right side of my screen and I click for example on the links-panel, it will open on the left side of the panels-window.
    When I have my panels-window set locked to the right side of my screen (or however it is called) and I click on the links-pnale, it will open on the right side of the panels-window and disapear by half.

    When I go to Scale of UsersInterface (see screenshot) and I slide the bullit to small (klein) then the problem is solved. BUT, then everything in the panels is (to) small 😞

12. leave User Workspaces ALONE

    Leave User Workspaces ALONE!! Updates should automatically grab the current workspaces and copy them in, STOP trying to shove three versions of "essentials" down our throats. Not all of us have admin access, so deleting after every update isnt an option. It also stops non-admin users from migrating manually. To say this is frustrating would be an understatement.

    "Essentials" is TRASH, but every **** update removes any custom ones I have (YES even if I choose migrate, it doesnt do anything so I stopped bothering) and force it into "Essentials". Just STOP. You DO NOT know our workspaces better than us. This shouldnt be difficult, but Adobe has been doing this for years, and now InDesign 2025 has THREE different Essentials? Thats missing the point entirely and then congratulating yourself for it.

13. InDesign stops at "Fetching Service Registry" on launch every time — only resolves when disabling fonts

    Hello Adobe team,

    I have been using InDesign regularly, but for the past year, I have been encountering a very annoying and recurring issue.
    Every time I try to launch InDesign, it gets stuck on the screen saying "Fetching Service Registry" and never completes the startup process.

    After troubleshooting, I found out that temporarily disabling some OS fonts allows InDesign to launch properly.
    However, this is extremely inconvenient as I have to do this every single time before starting my work.

    This issue is highly reproducible and happens almost every launch.

    I would kindly request that the team look into this issue and address it in a future update.

    【Environment】

    OS: Windows 10

    InDesign version: 20.3.1 ×64 (example: InDesign 2025)

    Creative Cloud: Always up to date

    Thank you very much for your attention and support.

14. Guides aligned with cursor and not object

    Just updated to InDesign 2025 (v 20.0) and had to switch back to the previous version due to the smart guides functioning strangely. The guides should show up in the center or edge of the object so that I can align it properly on the page and in relation to other objects. Instead, it's producing the guidelines from wherever my cursor is when I click and drag the object. This has made it much more difficult to do simple things like center objects, since it's just centering my cursor instead. I've never had any desire to align things based on where my cursor is. I don't see an option to turn this off.

    I restarted the program and checked for updates, and there were none. I also turned off and on smart guides, which didn't help. InDesign 2024 is still functioning correctly.

15. Some dielines converting to filled shapes

    Environment:
    CS 2025 (InDesign 20.0.1, Illustrator 29.1)
    Mac Studio (M2 Ultra, 192gb, Sonoma 14.7.1)

    We receive dielines as .dxf files from engineering. We open these files in Illustrator and create a layered file (dieline and art), export the individual layers as dieline and art, then impose the project using InDesign. Some dielines are changing from a stroke to a filled shape (think Minus Front) once the .pdf file is written from InDesign. (line verified as line in Illustrator in both the Illustrator document and the pdf generated of the dieline to use for imposition. InDesign generated (imposed) pdf file is different from the files used to create the pdf. Attempted to resolve problem by placing Illustrator file and using "Object Layer Options" to control desired art. No effect.

    Occurs mostly on interior cuts, not perimeter cuts.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks for looking this over.

16. scrolling text frame

    When publishing my file online, a gap appears in the text within the scrolling text frame. (see attachment) The gap seems to be aligned to the place where the text hits the bottom of the container frame. There are no extra characters causing this gap in the text. I had the same issue with a document a year ago, but it looks like this bug is still there.

    Version: Indesign 2025

    Steps to reproduce issues:
    •Paste longer text box into container box.
    •Align content to top left.
    •Use overlays panel, choose "Scrollable frame," Scroll direction: vertical, Initial content position: Upper left, Export Format : Vector
    •Publish Online > Publish

    Expected result: text scrolls and appearance remains same as text in original large content box

    Actual result: text scrolls but a gap appears - in approximately the same location as where the text hits the bottom of the container frame.

17. [ID-4256546]Bug when setting an even number as the start page number in a new document.

    Bug when setting an even number for the start page number when creating a new document

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign
       CC2025 (ver. 20.0) JP

    2. Steps to reproduce the issues
       Set any even number for the start page number on the Create New Document screen.

    3. Expected result
       An even page number will be displayed in Current Page Number as set.

    4. Actual resul
       The value set in the New Document screen will not be reflected, and “Current Page Number” will display “1”.

    As shown in the attached figure, when “Current Page Number” is inserted into a new document with the starting page number set to an even number, the document starts with “1”.
    (As long as the number set in the new document creation screen is an even number, any value will not be reflected and will become “1”).

    This phenomenon can be recovered by temporarily setting a different value in “Number & Section Option”.
    However, for users who are not aware of this behavior, it is sure to cause great confusion.
    It can also cause significant time loss in finding a solution.
    We have not been able to verify whether this bug is specific to the Japanese version, but we recognize that it is a very serious bug.
    We sincerely hope that the development team will fix it as soon as possible.

    新規ドキュメント作成で開始ページ番号に偶数番号を設定すると発生する不具合

    InDesignのバージョン
    CC2025 (ver.20.0) JP

    問題の再現手順
    新規ドキュメント作成画面で、開始ページ番号に任意の偶数を設定する。

    予想される結果
    「現在のページ番号」に、設定通りの偶数ページ番号が表示される。

    実際の結果
    新規ドキュメント画面で設定した値は反映されず、「現在のページ番号」に「1」が表示される。

    添付画像のように、開始ページ番号を偶数番号に設定した新規ドキュメントに、「現在のページ番号」を挿入すると「1」から開始されます。
    （新規ドキュメント作成画面で設定した番号が偶数である限り、いかなる値であっても反映されず「1」となる）

    この現象は「ページ番号とセクションの設定」で、一時的に別の値を設定すれば回復します。
    しかしこの挙動を認識していないユーザーにとって、大きな混乱を招く原因となることは間違いありません。
    また、解決策を見つけるために大きな時間のロスを生む可能性があります。
    この不具合は日本語版固有の問題なのかは検証できていませんが、非常に深刻なバグであると認識しています。
    開発チームには早急に改善していただくよう切に希望します。

19. Paragraph shading randomly disappears in some places when working in Indesign

    Expected result: the shading is always displayed as it is applied in the settings.

    Actual result: after making an adjustment, the shading disappears in some places and the shading edges that are displayed are not the actual edges, which makes it impossible to make accurate changes in the shading. When a pdf is made, the shading looks how it should look, so no issues there. It is merely when working in Indesign that the display of the shading is faulty. At first, when opening the Indesign file, the shading is displayed correctly, but when a change is made in the (shading of) the area, the shading breaks up, so you can't see what you are actually doing.

    Reproduce: make an adjustment in the shaded area. Text in columns, anchored objects in text, placed images, shading merged. The more anchored objects are inserted, the more the paragraph shading breaks up. (The line and paragraph numbering in the text in the attached example are anchored objects.)

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
