1. Undo ocassionally not available

   Please fix undo. Version 21.3.0.60 on Mac, Undo functionality is disabled from time to time when working on larger and very complex document. No warning, just grayed out Undo in the menu. As far as I remember, it is not possible to quit the app without crash after this happens (twice or three times a month in my case). It is extremely frustrating and annoying bug.

   It is perhaps the same bug reported as “[ID-4274243] InDesign clearing Undo stack frequently” and falsely claimed as FIXED.

3. Split Screen and Multi Window Screen Redraw Issues (diagonal slash)

   I have the same error occurring on two machines (different Adobe accounts) - both fresh (a month old) installations of InDesign 2026 (V21.3)

   Whenever viewing in Multi-Window (two documents side by side) or Split Screen (same document with two viewports side by side). Making minor edits often causes the top portion of one window or the other to go blank diagonally across the screen(see images). It gets filled in either white or the pasteboard color.

   Scrolling up/down will correctly redraw content that comes into view, but whatever was already in the frame buffer stays and the blank area just scrolls up/down until you completely scroll to all new content.

   This seems to happen whether either window is in "NORMAL" or "PREVIEW" mode and often when switching focus between windows, typically in the window losing focus. If the window receiving focus already has the blank diagonal area it briefly shows the full page then the diagonal comes back. In some cases both windows can have the diagonal slash across them.

   Please remove whatever moronic new AI tool got shoved into the software and broke this basic function that has worked fine for 20 years - I have actual work I need to do!

4. make guides

   I want to make angled guides but I can't find a solution? The only thing I could find online isn't available for some reason even though I have the most updated version of Indesign. The solution people posted was to right click and there should be an option to 'make guides' out of a shape but that option does not exist. super frustrating and this always seems to happen where there is this made up easy fix that I apparently don't have access to.

5. Flex Layout is unusable

   Flex Layout feature is unusable. Not once did it work like intended. Just as an example. I just tried it again with 40 images that were dropped arranged in a grid with the intent of just standardizing the gutters quickly. But it just scrambled the order randomly. It is mind bugling. This should be feature number one. Figma Auto Layout is way better.

8. critical error displaying page content

   By default, InDesign sets the display mode using the GPU. After updating the program, a critical error began to occur: when turning pages, part of the page content simply disappears. For example, if you have 30 objects on a spread, at some point 15 of them disappear (purely conditionally, let's call them even), while the odd ones are visible. If you press the display mode switch (the w button), now the even ones appear, and the odd ones disappear. Then, to display ALL objects, you have to switch the display to enhanced view. But on the next spread, everything can change to the opposite: now half of the objects are not displayed in enhanced view, and you need to switch to normal display mode. And then press W again, on the next page part of the object disappeared again And so on in a circle. It seems that the system needs to receive a SWITCH command to display, because one way or another the objects disappear anyway. The only radical solution to this problem: switch to display via the central processor. Then everything works correctly but extremely slowly. My operating system is Windows 10, video card is Nvidia Geforce 2070 with 8 GB of memory.

9. display glitch on zoom / scroll

   New glitchy display issues in all documents when zooming / scrolling. Switching off GPU Performance fixes the issue, but degrades overall performance. Have not had previous issues like this in prior releases.

   1. Indesign Version: 21.3 x64. (Graphics card: NVIDIA RTX A2000 Laptop GPU, current drivers)
   2. Steps to produce result: most scrolling/zooming (alt+scroll)
   3. Expected result: Smooth scrolling/display
   4. Actual result: display glitches and requires zoom/pan to reset or change display mode.
   5. Samples attached. Not dependent on specific files.

10. Critical workflow break: period in filename makes Save As unusable after Tahoe upgrade — no workaround

    Area: macOS 26 Tahoe – Save / Export Dialog with Indesign

    Summary:
    In macOS 26 Tahoe, the Save As filename field does not pre-populate when opening a Save As or Export dialog in Adobe InDesign. When manually retyping the filename, if the name contains a period followed by a space, the entire field is cleared the moment the space is typed. This does not happen with filenames that contain no period. No known workaround resolves this.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open a document in Adobe InDesign whose filename contains a period (e.g. "April 12.26Quarter Page HorSN.indd")
    2. Go to File > Export or File > Save As
    3. Observe that the Save As field is blank — the filename is not pre-populated
    4. Begin manually retyping the filename, including a period (e.g. type "April 12.26")
    5. Type a space after the period
    6. The entire contents of the Save As field are immediately erased

    Additional reproduction path (no workaround exists):
    Even when clicking directly on the original InDesign file in the Save As dialog to repopulate the filename field, the bug persists. As soon as any character is typed at the end of the pre-filled name (e.g. typing "" to append "Proof"), the entire filename is instantly wiped. Because every file in our workflow contains a period (we date all files using a month.year format, e.g. "4.26"), there is no way to avoid triggering this bug. Every save attempt is affected.

    Expected behavior:
    - The Save As field should pre-populate with the current document filename
    - A period followed by any character should be valid input in a filename field
    - Appending characters to a pre-filled filename should not clear the field
    - This worked correctly on macOS 15 Sequoia and earlier

    Actual behavior:
    - Save As field opens blank regardless of the current document name
    - Typing a period followed by a space clears the entire field
    - Clicking the file to repopulate the field and then typing any character also clears the field
    - This only occurs when the filename contains a period — filenames without a period are unaffected

    Additional observation:
    The bug appears to be isolated to filenames containing a period. This suggests macOS may be misinterpreting the period as a file extension delimiter and rejecting any character that follows as invalid, causing it to reset the entire field.

    Impact:
    This is a critical workflow disruption. All of our work files use a month.year date format (e.g. "4.26") in the filename, meaning 100% of saves are affected with no viable workaround. Tasks that previously took minutes are now taking three times longer. This issue began immediately after updating to macOS Tahoe two days ago and has been unresolvable since.

    Comparative note:
    Colleagues who received new Macs with Tahoe pre-installed are not experiencing this issue. It appears to affect Macs that were upgraded to Tahoe from a prior macOS version, suggesting the bug may be tied to the upgrade path rather than Tahoe itself.

    Environment:
    - macOS: 26 Tahoe (upgraded from macOS 15 Sequoia)
    - Hardware: MacBook Pro M3 Pro
    - App affected: Adobe InDesign 2026 (also reported in Illustrator and Acrobat)

    Notes:
    This has been widely reported in Adobe's community forums since Tahoe's release in September 2025 and remains unresolved as of April 2026. Because the issue occurs across multiple Adobe apps, it appears to be a macOS-level bug in the system Save dialog rather than an app-specific issue.

    I've included a screen recording of this example being exported. Note that I am NOT hitting the "delete" button. I'm hitting the space bar and then in the second attempt I'm trying to type an underscore to save another version of the file in the folder.

11. Pages panel not scrolling to allow all pages to be accessible

    InDesign v21.3 (Updated last week, no issues until today. Daily use)

    This morning when I opened InDesign, I discovered I was unable to scroll and select the last page of the document. The top half of the last page is visible through the bottom bar of the panel where the number of pages is displayed but unclickable. This prevents a change of parent page style, addition of pages in the correct parent style or the selection to override the parent page style.

    I have tried resetting my workspace, restarting Indesign and changing panel views. The bottom row remains elusive.

12. In InDesign 2025 (version 20.5.2) and InDesign 2026 (version 21.3), when packaging a document, composite fonts and Japanese-language fonts a

    OS: macOS 15.7.4
    Version: InDesign 2025 (20.5.2) and InDesign 2026 (21.3)

    In all versions up to and including InDesign 2024, only Latin (Western) fonts were subject to collection during packaging. However, from InDesign 2025 onwards through the current version, Japanese-language fonts and composite fonts are also being collected during the packaging process. This requires us to manually remove the relevant files from the package folder each time, resulting in a significant and recurring burden on our workflow.
    Furthermore, because composite fonts are being collected as font files, an alert indicating that the fonts cannot be found is displayed every time the packaged document is opened, further degrading operational efficiency.
    This issue is not merely a matter of human error; it carries potential legal implications concerning font licensing rights, and we strongly urge that it be addressed as a matter of urgency.
    If this represents an intentional change in product behavior, it was implemented without any prior notice or communication to users. Combined with recent incidents — including the unauthorized modification of the hosts file and the repositioning of the Save/Don't Save button — this pattern of changes reflects what we can only describe as a disregard for the user experience, and we cannot overlook it.

13. In v 21.3, shift and control shift don't work with arrow keys to nudge in larger or smaller increments

    In InDesign v 21.3, my arrow keys work to nudge elements in 1 px increments, but I'm not able to nudge in larger or smaller increments. When I hold the shift key and press the arrow to nudge 10px, nothing happens. When I hold the shift and control keys and press the arrows to nudge .01 px, nothing happens. This feature works fine in InDesign v 20 and Illustrator v 30.3. I'm surrently running v 20 to avoid this issue.

14. Slow and buggy when running of Dropbox or Pcloud

    When I use Indesign with Dropbox or Pcloud files, even really small files it lags and becomes unusable. I have raised this issue with adobe in the past a few times direclty and they have somehow managed to fix it but it seems like every 2nd or 3rd update it comes back. Now days people use cloud services as we need to work with global teams so we need to ensure that Indesign is always able to work with what ever links that we throw at it.

    I know there is a fix, because 1x a few years ago I spent hours with Tech Support troubleshooting and then they eventually pushed an update a few days later and the issue went away.

    I just wish you could make sure that the same fix you did back then was always just implemented by default, I know most cloud providers save file structures in diffferent ways and there are many different operating systems etc, but still I just feel like it should just work.

    Photoshop and illustrator are fine with working from links and files on Pcloud and dropbox its just indesign. I have a feeling its the way the autosave or file referencing system works.

    I know its not just my machine, becuase when I save the file on my local hard drive, then its normal and smooth.

15. InDesign for macOS clearing Undo stack

    1. Adobe InDesign 2026 v21.2.0.30 for macOS
    2. Restart macOS, Open document in InDesign, and work with document normally.
    3. Undo should remain available, with a long history of undo steps while working on a document.
    4. During the course of working with the document at some point the history will clear and undo will become unavailable via keyboard shortcut, menu, or the panel.

    This behavior is similar to the behavior described in ID-4274243 (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/50813147--id-4274243-indesign-clearing-undo-stack-frequent?linkId=100000398096855) but unlike that issue, this is affecting users on macOS and is present in v21.2.0.30.

17. InD closes itself 50% of time when I close my last open doc; very annoying

    I'm using InD 2026 recent release (today is 2/10/26). About 50 percent of the time, when I close my last open document, InD will close itself entirely. I have to go through the hassle of reopening it to get back to work. Then, upon reopen, it says that the last doc I closed may be damaged. This doesn't fly when you've just laid out and saved a 300-page text book. Can this be fixed soonest?

18. Severe UI Latency and Rendering Delays After Updating to Version 21.0 and Later (Windows 11 – Build 26200.7923)

    Description:
    After updating to Version 21.0 and all subsequent releases, the application exhibits significant UI latency and rendering delays. The user interface becomes intermittently unresponsive, with interactions (panel updates, tool changes, UI redraws, etc.) taking 30–40 seconds to visually update. This behavior occurs consistently across sessions.
    Environment:

    OS: Windows 11 Pro — Build 26200.7923
    Storage Tested: OneDrive-based project files and fully local NVMe SSD storage (no performance difference)
    Systems Tested: Issue reproduced on two separate PCs with different hardware configurations
    Application Versions Tested: 21.0 and all newer versions

    Observed Behavior:

    UI redraws and component updates are extremely slow (~30–40 seconds).
    General interface interaction becomes sluggish or temporarily unresponsive.
    No improvement when:

    Moving project files off OneDrive to a local NVMe drive
    Restarting the application or OS
    Clearing caches
    Testing on a second machine with clean installation

    Expected Behavior:

    Instant or near‑instant UI responsiveness similar to pre‑21.0 builds.
    No dependency on storage location for UI performance.

    Impact:
    This issue severely affects workflow efficiency—basic tasks become slow and cumbersome, significantly reducing productivity.
    Additional Notes:
    Based on testing, the problem appears to be directly related to changes introduced in Version 21.0 and later, and not environmental factors such as hardware, storage, or cloud syncing.
    Regards,
    Eberhard

19. I'm able to select objects and edit them even though they're on hidden layers

    The latest InDesign is very glitchy and unreliable, this is one of the main visible problems

20. Corrections only show when display is set to high quality

    We have encountered this problem some times but were now able to do a screen-grab of that:
    We have made some text corrections in a document. We usually work with the display set to "normal quality". But somehow those corrections were gone. Just by chance we changed the display setting to "high quality". Having changed that setting the corrections suddenly had shown right.
    Before making the attached video we had corrected the word "Colours" into "Colors". In the video you can see that this is only shown right after changing the display setting. When we save that file, restart InDesign, everything is fine also in normal quality mode.
    Once again I guess it is some kind of caching problem.
