テキスト属性のいくつかは拡大・縮小に応じません。
すべて日本語版だけの要素なので、日本語で失礼します。発生バージョン:これまでの全てのバージョン
検証手順:

3 1のテキストフレームをアウトライン作成
4 塗りカラーを変更
5 元の位置にペースト
6 すべてを選択
7 拡大・縮小添付画像A は 5あるいは6の状態、添付画像Bが7の結果です。

決して看過してよい仕様ではありません。改善を希望します。1 vote -
Issues with Indesign
I have experienced multiple stability issues with Adobe InDesign 2026.
The most serious issue has happened twice. While working normally on a document, multiple pages suddenly appear completely blank, as though all of their contents have disappeared. The pages become entirely white inside InDesign.
I first noticed the issue while exporting the document to PDF because the exported PDF also contained these blank pages.
I was not performing any unusual operations beforehand. I was simply editing the document, saving frequently, and exporting to PDF.
The linked images and assets were stored locally on my computer and were never moved, renamed,…

Ctrl+D (replace photo) causes InDesign to get hung every time
Using the simple Ctrl+D shortcut to replace a template photo causes my InDesign to get hung every single time. I have to use Task Manager to exit the program, losing all my previous work on the file. This is only ONE of MANY bugs that currently make InDesign unusable for me. Stop using AI code and fix this software!

variable devanagari fonts characters not composing correctly
Variable fonts in Devanagari & Gurmukhi no longer compose characters correctly. InDesign 21.3. Mac Sequoia 15.7.1.
They did work previously, and if I open an old file the fonts still appear correctly until I change something.

grab transparent frames
Product: Adobe InDesign 21.4.1
Platform: macOSSince updating to InDesign 21.4.1, transparent text frames are no longer draggable from their empty interior.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new document.
Draw a text frame.
Set the stroke to any visible color and weight.
Set the fill to None.
Try to drag the text frame by clicking anywhere inside the empty area.
Expected result:
The text frame should be selectable and draggable from anywhere inside the frame, as in previous versions of InDesign.
Actual result:
Only the frame border is clickable/draggable. Clicking or dragging inside the transparent area does nothing.

accented characters such as é, è, à, ê, ç, etc. are copied as periods (".") or incorrect characters;

Microsoft Surface Laptop vergrößert alle Bedienelemente von InDesign weil InDesign denkt, es wäre ein Tablet (wegen dem Touch Panel)
Ich benutze ein Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 mit Qualcomm Plus ARM-Prozessor und die BETA-Version von InDesign. Beim Starten geht InDesign sofort in eine Touch-Oberfläche, weil es das Surface Laptop, das auch ein Touch-Display hat, fälschlicherweise als Tablet interpretiert. Dadurch sind alle Elemente um den Faktor ca. 500 vergrößert, so dass man keine Bedienelemente mehr erreichen kann und das lässt sich auch nicht abschalten. Ich habe eine KI gefragt, wie man das lösen könnte, aber alle Versuche scheiterten leider. Aus diesem Grund kann ich InDesign auf meinem neuen Surface Laptop nicht nutzen, obwohl ich es mir genau dafür für unterwegs gekauft…

Export to interactive pdf option to view pdf greyed out in mac
I noticed yesterday 7/8/26 that the menu for export to interactive pdf has "view pdf after export" greyed out. It does work when I switch to the print pdf menu, so it's not a problem with acrobat or my Finder trying to use preview instead of acrobat.

InDesign 21.4.1 buffering indefinitely after a few edits and won't save (Windows 11)
I can make a few changes in non-corrupted files which are fine, but then I get the spinning wheel forever. My cursor still moves and can click things, but I can't undo (ctrl+z) or save. Then the app won't close, it has to be force closed through Task Manager. I have closed and reopened the app, checked for updates, updated restarted my computer, tried other files, nothing works. My other apps work fine and I have no other issues with buffering or freezing.

Bug: Shift + 1 = bold paragraph instead of an exclamation point. So there is no way to type an exclaimation point right now in InDesign
I have InDesign 21.3 x64. Currently, there is no way to type an exclamation point. When you use the Shift key + the number 1, it will bold the paragraph instead of giving you an exclamation point.

‘Rows and Columns’ function still not included under ‘Cell styles’
Why is the ‘Rows and Columns’ function still not included under ‘Cell styles’? You cannot set the cell height and have to enter it manually for each individual cell.

Linear B
Character “Linear B Syllable B008 A” (Unicode U+10000) doesn’t display properly, no matter which font is used.
I have tried using Noto Sans Linear B, Code 2001, and a few of the Kurinto fonts. Either nothing is displayed, or there is a rectangle meaning the glyph is not available. However, the glyph displays properly in the font list, but not in a text box.
Attached are two screenshots, one from InDesign where the glyph doesn’t display properly, and one from Illustrator where it does work fine.
I do realize I’m probably the only person using these glyphs! LOL!

Pasteboard color
Since the last update 2026, all documents with custom preview pasteboard colour (I prefer a dark gray) revert to the standard light gray pasteboard colour.
Also: when changing the custom pasteboard colour I get a long list of standard colors with the custom colour on the bottom of the list, why such a long list and why not put custom on top in pop-up menu?

Epub Export Via InDesign Images are Left Instead of Center Aligned
Since installing 21.4.1 a week ago, reproducible Indesign export to reflowable ePub:
all images align LEFT despite export settings align center and object export custom align center.
I rolled back to 21.4, same result.
Rolled back to 21.3, issue resolved.

Data Merge randomly exports identical vector document 10x larger (Content Streams duplicated)
I believe I have found a reproducible bug in the InDesign PDF export engine.
Environment
InDesign 21.4.1
PDF Compatibility: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)
Data Merge document
Approximately 200 records (400 pages)Expected behaviour
Exporting the same document repeatedly should always generate a PDF of approximately the same size.
Actual behaviour
The same document, exported multiple times using exactly the same PDF preset, randomly produces either:
a normal PDF (around 3–5 MB), or
a much larger PDF (30–50 MB).No document changes are made between exports.
Important observations
Both PDFs are fully vector.
No images are rasterized.

Instabilidade. InDesign trava sem parar. Começa processando e entra em loop de processamento, não deixa nem desligar
Faz cerca 20 dias que o InDesign trava sem parar. Começa processando e entra em loop de processamento, não deixa nem desligar. Está difícil. Já atualizei, mas não resolve.
