2. 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)

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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 😞

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.)

12. [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。

14. [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.

    Workaround:
    - Switch to GPU mode
    - Downgrade InDesign to v20.0.1.032

15. Placing Images mac photos cant access album structure

    Hi All,

    when placing images into indesign (commmand d) then selecting images in the finder like window (technically speaking this might be the ilifemdiabrowser plugin from apple) , i cannot access the photos library album strucutre anymore. When going to movies (filme) i get the menu where i can choose the subfolders, with images (bilder) it does not work. Further, when trying to choose media (top menu on placing window) it cant access it. I suppose it is some kind of issue with adobe not getting access to the os photos system. I tried solving it in the mac settings, but it is not possible to grant indesign access to the photos library. When installing indesign i got a message asking if indesign could access downloads and desktop, but it didnt ask for other folders or places.
     
    Same issue with photoshop. Other software on the mac (pages, word) are able to access it correctly, therefore showing the album strucutre from photos.
     
    This used to work on Mac osx 12.7 and Indesign 2023
    Just updated to OSX 15.4.1 and the problem occured (tried both indesign 2023 and indesign 2025)
     
    Any ideas are much appreciated.

16. InDesign crashes when trying to cut, and/or copy, a table from the paragraph level

    Different versions of InDesign have this problem including 2023, 2024, and 2025 - on Mac Monteray.

    If I attempt to highlight tables from the paragraph level and copy or cut, either with menus or key commands, InDesign will either immediately crash, or beach ball a bit and then crash.

    Upon reopening InDesign, the menus will not appear. I have to use the keyboard commands to quit InDesign again. Upon reopening, it will work properly again... that is unless I attempt to copy or cut another table.

    Please fix! I'm constantly working with complicated tables and the only way to get them to remain consistant is to copy and paste them!!

    In the attached screenshot you can see how I am highlighting the tables.

    NOTE: These tables include form fields. I noticed I am able to copy/cut tables that do not include them - so maybe that's an issue?

    NOTE 2: Also, I'm able to delete (without cutting) so clipboard issue??

    Also, a friend working on a PC was able to copy/cut - so looks like a Mac problem.

    EDIT: Form fields are the problem - deleting them solves it. I need the form fields - anything you can do to help?

17. Using Arrow Keys in Transform Panel/Control Panel no longer works properly - ID 20.0.

    Using Arrow Keys in Transform Panel/Control Panel no longer works properly - ID 20.0.

    Since upgrading to ID 2025 (20.0) using the arrow keys in Transform Panel or Control Panel no longer works properly. Previously I would scale something larger/smaller using the arrow (or Shift+Arrow): 110%, 120%, 130% ... .
    Now with Shift+ArrowUp it will first scale 110%, then the cursor is no longer in the Scale Percentage Field. Second Shift+Arrow click and instead the Object will Flip Vertical. Third Shift+Arrow and it will start moving up the page.

    Now to scale up another 10% I have to replace the cursor in the Scale Percentage Field. Quite annoying when wanting to quickly scale something to size.

    This problem is not just with the Percent Scale Field but all the Input fields seen to react this way. Width/Height, skew by degrees, rotate ....

    This seems to happen only with placed images. Objects or Text Boxes created in the Document still continue scaling larger.

    Windows 10, ID 20.0, recently reinstalled Wacom Intuos but that was working okay before so doubt that is the issue.

    Thanks!

18. Moves with arrow keys do not apply to objects if cursor is hovering over a link

    1. Place an image or a PDF in an InDesign file
    2. Create a text frame/shape/any object
    3. Select the object you just created with direct select tool (keep it selected)
    4. Move your mouse to hover over the link so that the center circle link highlight shows. Do not select the linked image, just hover over it.
    5. Press and hold an arrow key to try and move object.

    In CC2024 19.3: If I hover over a link with my mouse, the selected object moves as expected with the arrow keys.

    In CC2025 20.2: If I hover over a link with my mouse, the selected object does not move with the arrow keys. Only when I move my cursor off the link will the selected object move (or jump to catch up to my previous use of the arrow keys)

    This is a very annoying bug as when I'm trying to adjust objects, I'm not consciously picking where I "park" my mouse in my layout as I adjust objects. This slows down work considerably and might unintentionally create errors.

19. blank screen when switching displays

    When I have a file open in InDesign 2025 on my MacBook Pro (14-inch, Nov 2023, 15.3.1) and switch between using the built-in display and an external monitor, the document view becomes completely black/blank, though all toolbars remain visible and functional.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Open a file in InDesign on a MacBook Pro.
    2. Close the MacBook lid, connect to an external monitor, and wake the computer.
    3. The InDesign window stays open, toolbars are visible, but the artwork area is completely blank.
    4. Selecting all (Cmd + A) reveals bounding boxes, but no image or text is visible.

    This also happens in reverse:
    • If I’m working on an external monitor, then unplug it and open the MacBook to work, the same issue occurs.
    • My MacBook is always closed when connected to an external display, and I use an external keyboard and trackpad.

    Expected Result:
    • The document area should remain visible and fully functional when switching between the MacBook’s display and an external monitor without needing to restart InDesign.

    Actual Result:
    • The document area turns black/blank, preventing any interaction with the artwork.
    • Toolbars, menus, and selection boxes remain functional, but the contents of the document are completely invisible.

    Temporary Workaround:
    • Saving the file, quitting InDesign, and reopening fixes the issue temporarily.

    Additional Info:
    • OS, external display firmware, and InDesign are all up to date and have been happening for over a year.
    • Issue persists across different external monitors.
    • Unclear if this is an Adobe or macOS issue.

    There is a thread here with other people having the same exact issue:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-blank-window-when-switching-displays/td-p/14394779

20. Error message is seen while opening InDesign after Photoshop 26.5 update

    Problem Description

    After the PhotoShop 26.5 update this morning, when opening InDesign, I got an error popup regarding a missing startup script in PhotoShop. The same thing does not happen in other CC apps.

    Workaround 1:

    1. Uninstall Photoshop 26.5 (make sure to remove preferences).
    2. Reinstall Photoshop 26.5. This will install the correct “photoshop_v2025.jsx”.

    Workaround 2:

    1. Open jsx, which is available at "/Library/application support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CC/Adobe Photoshop/" mentioned in the alert in the Text Editor
    2. Add } in the last line
