  1. Unable to Move Objects

    After selecting and trying to move any object or text frame, the selected object will jump to the left and down from the cursor; making the usage of InDesign extremely difficult.

  2. Layers Panel Active Layer not active and not scrolled to in the panel when switching back to a document

    In Adobe InDesign, when switching between open documents, the Layers Panel Active Layer is not active (highlighted) and not on screen (due to the layers list scrolling all the way to the top) for my document which has many layers.
    Every time I switch back to the document (with many layers) I have to use the Layers Panel scroll bar to try and find the active layer again. This is very tedious.

  4. color menu at the top of the window doesn't stick

    When I try and click the colour selector at the top of the screen it doesn't do anything, or the palette flashes for a second and then disappears. InDesign version 20.1, MacOS Sonoma 14.7.2. Sometimes when I click it the computer jumps to a different app. Once or twice the app has crashed.

  6. Diacritic Positioning on English Fonts

    We currently need to use Diacritic positioning on english fonts and in the 2025 version this isn't supported. So you could technically set the Diacritic position, but it's not showing the result on the document. However, this still works only on middle eastern fonts like Hebrew.

    This worked perfectly fine in the 2020 version for english fonts as well as middle eastern fonts. After the update to the 2025 version, the Diacritic positioning support for english fonts isn't working.

    We attached two pictures from the 2020 version where this is working, and the same document from the 2025 version where…

  7. 20.1 won't open some files.. just spins.

    20.1 InDesign won't open some files. Also slow beachballs. v19.5.2 won't show images. I need to go back to 19.5.1 and stay there forever I guess.

    Edit: Update: Downgraded back to 19.5.1. Everything is working perfectly. Thanks Adobe for allowing very easy downgrades. EXCELLENT.

  8. [ID-4259367]Error handling dialog shown while placing some TIFF/EPS files

    Error encountered while reading TIFF image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again.

    After I upgraded InDesign 19.5.1 to 19.5.2. Linked images do not show on the page in high quality display settings. I have about 60 linked indesign files into my one file. And I was afraid to upgrade to 20.1 and from Sonoma to Sequoia. Any fixes for this? Perhaps get rid of some of the links.. too many links? 60? 2 page document. Newer M2 MacBook Air.

    Edit: Update: Downgraded back to 19.5.1. Everything is working perfectly. Thanks Adobe…

  10. Logitech mouse zoom in/out not working

    I am on a Mac (Sequoia) using Adobe InDesign (20.1) with a Logitech MX Master 3 (and Logi Options+ version 1.85.655119). For years, I've been able to use the thumb wheel of my mouse to zoom in and out (assigned in Logi Options+), but for some reason in the past month or so, this functionality stopped working. I've uninstalled/reinstalled Adobe + Logi apps, ensured firmware is current, etc. This is a major workflow efficiency killer — would love to see it resolved.

  12. Adobe Fonts: Garamond Premier Pro 'Regular' is buggy, keeps disappearing in Indesign

    Hi there,

    Adobe Fonts is already fairly buggy and annoying, but InDesign also keeps losing added fonts. (InDesign 20.0.1 x64)

    In the drop down font list in InDesign, it splits fonts in the same Add Family into different groups, without giving the groups any kind of unique name so that you can tell which is which, and at the same time, it won't add both groups to the top recently-used section, such that you have to scroll down to find the missing group (and the font you just used), while having to then guess which group is the missing one.…

  14. Application Frame Sticks to One External Monitor and Fails to Move Between Monitors (Windows 11)

    I am experiencing an issue with a user where the application frame is stuck on a specific external monitor. When I attempt to drag the window to another external monitor, it automatically reverts to its original position on the main monitor. I can minimize and drag the corners to adjust size of window but cannot move it over to other monitors. This behavior occurs across multiple workstations, and I have already attempted the following troubleshooting steps:

    Ensured that all software is fully updated.
    Restarted the device multiple times.
    Adjusted the resolution settings and reinstalled display drivers.
    Removed and reconnected external…

  15. CEP HTML Engine

    In Task Manager, "CEP HTML Engine" spawns a couple dozen instances--is that the cause of numerous crashes? We just installed InDesign (and CC) 2024 (v. 19.5.1) for testing on both Windows 10 and 11 Enterprise. InDesign is hanging when I do basic tasks: copy & paste, move a graphic frame, delete a paragraph. The only way to recover is by ending the task in Task Manager. These issues are happening on multiple PCs, and different files. Does Adobe do any testing with CC on Windows?

  17. no spellcheck

    there is no spellcheck which really bothers me, I had to manually type in the right spelling, wasting my time because English is not my first language i forget how to spell some words, it takes hours for me to type something without spellcheck. Please add this function to InDesign it really is necessary

  18. View menu failing to load

    When I roll over the Plug-Ins menu item, and then scoot over to the View menu item, the full View menu does not load. If I come off the menu header, and then hover directly over the View menu head, the full menu appears.

  20. Latency issue on Mac since version 20.0.1

    Every action, every time I switch back to InDesign after using another application, every event is preceded by a 1-2 second delay. When spending the whole day working on InDesign, this becomes unbearable. This is the first time I've experienced this, and it has been happening since the new version 20.

    See video. The Mac "spinning wheel" appears multiple times in one minute. Imagine this over several hours or days.

    Adobe, cold you please fix it asap?
