Resizing item using control bar value defaults to unlinked every time
The resizing tool in the control bar will not stay with linked proportions - I go to resize an object to a specific width for example, I want it to be proportionally linked so I click the link button. It works, but immediately defaults to unlinked. Previously this stayed on what you had selected for the next time you used it. This is causing multiple errors when I am expecting it to stay linked. Using Indesign 2025 v20.01 on Sequoia

New document size resetting to previous
Every time I go to set up a new document and put in a size in the preset details, the measurments snap back to the previous size, either immediately, when tabbing from width to height, or when adding margin or bleed details. Happens every time, repeatedly. Using Indesign 2025 v20.01, on iMac 2019 OS Sonoma 14.1, also happens using Sequoia

Les chiffres monétaire en millier d'Excel sont réduit sur InDesign
Lorsque j'importe une base de donnée (xlsx) sur InDesign(v20.0.1), les chiffres monétaire en millier sont réduit à leur unité de millier.
Par exemple, si j'importe 1000€ depuis Excel, ca devient 1 sur InDesign. Pour 2000€, 2.
Sur les versions précédente de 2020 je n'avais pas ce bug.
J'utilise la version 20.0.1 d'InDesign et le version d'Excel 16.91
J'ai également essayé de changer les paramètres de séparateur de millier d'Excel, sans succès.

Styles
To me it seems it would be logical to be able to apply a style across an entire piece of work in on action. Currently, if I set up a document and set the style from the jump and do not need to change it or anything it is fine. I had a situation where a publisher did not like some of the typesetting in the work and kicked it back. This was a 291 page document with 2-4 text boxes per page using multiple styles. I had to touch every box of text to update everything. Seems as if…

InDesign Mac not remembering window size on open, WITHOUT using Application Frame
For the life of me of me PLEASE fix InDesign so it remembers the window size when opening a file, without having to use the annoying and PC-like application frame (I'm on a Mac). Thank you.

InDesign crashes/freezes when closing the document
InDesign freezes when you close a document. We cannot open any documents, no action can be performed in InDesign. InDesign cannot be quit, it has to Forced Kill.
20 votesMany internal as well as external factors can cause the InDesign application to crash/freeze/hang. A few workarounds are listed at Fix crash issues with InDesign.
We completed the investigation and came up with the following: Either the issue has been resolved in the most recent release of InDesign (Refer to InDesign Release notes), the issue was intermittent at the time of reporting and is no longer reproducible, or the InDesign version mentioned in the report is no longer covered by Creative Cloud Support Policy.
We would recommend you upgrade to the latest version as it is more robust. If you are still facing this issue even after updating it, either submit the crash report(Refer to Submitting crash reports) to us or Contact Adobe support.

Grep function for deleting trailing whitespace deletes a paragraph mark before a table
A paragraph mark before a table should not be considered trailing whitespace. Not sure what else to say. Maybe it's an easy fix?

Data Merge to PDF ignoring text variables in tag line
First encountered issue: https://community.adobe.com/t5/InDesign/Data-Merge-to-PDF-ignoring-text-variables-in-tag-line/td-p/10606867
Data Merge to PDF ignoring text variables in tag line
I posted the previous in Communities over 5 years ago on Sep 13, 2019 and it still hasn't been addressed.
Is there any reason that a file merged directly to a PDF (rather than to an Indesign file, then saved as a PDF) would refuse to parse text variables set in InDesign?
Document has text variables selected so that final will have a tag line with date and page count.
When I merge my data to an InDesign file, then save as PDF, the tag line…

When Drawing Rectangles I Cannot Recolor Them In Any Manner
InDesign 20.0.1 and 19.0, Mac OS Sequioa 15.1.1, M1 Mac
When drawing a rectangle, I am unable to recolor it, edit its color, stroke, in any manner, etc. I am greeted with the "negative mac boop" noise when selecting a color.
I have restarted my device, Fully un and re-installed the entire Creative Cloud Suite and all of its apps. Did a VRAM reset, all of the usual tricks.

Minor issues under 20.0.X
Minor issues with Indesign 20.0
Problems I am experiencing are linking two text frames, when clicking on a frame to select, it shifts position, it is very difficult to change the colors via the color swatches tab, read as if I do not want to select them, after repeated clicking it sometimes works. .
When entering a new document, entering dimensions, they jump back before I have been able to confirm and everything has to be entered again, etc...
Update to 20.0.1 does not help everything under iOS 15.1.1 on MacBook Pro, but also on 14.X on iMac, same problems…1 vote -

Home Screen Displays Incorrect Last-Opened Dates
- v20.0
- During the beginning of a new month, navigate to the Home Screen where it will display thumbnail previews of recent projects with approximated last-opened dates.
- The approximated last-opened dates should match when the file was last accessed, regardless of the calendar date.
- That number is incorrectly showing all of my projects opened just days ago as showing "1 month ago," likely owing to it being a new month.
This issue is also present in Photoshop and I suspect all other Adobe apps.

Roboto protected
If you use a Preflight profile that enables the option for protected fonts, recent versions of Indesign report the version of Roboto loaded through CC fonts as being protected, which is surely incorrect. PDFs do seem to have the fonts embedded correctly though.

Font and color selection is not working
Hello.
I am using Indesign 2025 which was automatically updated on my computer on M1 Max MBP with Sequoia 15.1.1.When i try to change a swatch color on an object or a paragraph style on text, indesign will not allow me to make my selection. It will register the selection for a brief moment, and then the icon will deselect the option and my request was not taken into account. This bug is very frustrating as it is not allowing me to make any changes needed.
This is a relatively new bug that was not there in indesign 2024…2 votes -
Paragraph style not applying when selecting the wanted style
Indesign version 20.0.1
When highlighting the desired text that I wish to apply the paragraph style to and clicking on the preferred paragraph style. The click animation attempts to very briefly 'grab' the style rather than select it. This works on any paragraph style I try.
I have a similar issue when selecting a colour swatch to apply, the only option is to grab and drag the desired swatch to where it is needed.
I also cannot change the font when selecting the text I wish to change and selecting a font from the drop down.
This is only a…
