  4. 検索と置換で置換文字列のテキストボックスに入力した文字が勝手に変わる

    「検索と置換」で正規表現の検索テキストボックスに入力し、置換テキストボックスに検索テキストボックスからコピーした文字をペーストして、置き換えたい文字に修正する。
    マウスをテキストボックス外でクリックすると修正前の文字列に戻てしまう。
    <行った操作操作>
    1.検索「Taro: 」と入力
    2.「Taro: 」をコピーして置換のテキストボックスにペースト
    3.置換で「Taro: 」を「taro:\t~(」に修正
    4.ポインターをテキストボックスから外し、クリックすると「Taro: 」に戻る。
    文字列が戻るだけで、実行結果は指定した通りになります。
    この現象が発生する確率は10%程度です。

  5. "Reverse on Roll Off" doesn't work

    The feature "Reverse on Roll Off" does not appear to work.

    I have a simple button set up with an On Roll Over event to Play an Animation. The button works as intended.
    However, I have the "Reverse on Roll Off" checkbox ticked, presuming it would automatically apply a "Reverse" command to the Animation when the mouse cursor Rolls Off the button.

    It does not.

    Due to the nature of my button and animation design, setting up separate "On Roll Over" and "On Roll Off" Events on the same button is not an option, because the various combinations of the…

  7. (Ver. 20.5) When measuring with the Gap Tool, the measurement remains grayed out

    (Ver. 20.5) When measuring with the Gap Tool, the measurement remains grayed out and is very difficult to read, especially in dark mode. When measuring with another tool, e.g. the Measure Tool, the boxes with coordinates and measurements activate.

  8. InDesign process dies after 3 minutes

    I'm facing the following problem. I'm on a new Windows 11 (24H2) and have Creative Cloud and various apps like Photoshop (26,11), Illustrator (29.8.2) or InDesign (20.5) installed. Every app works fine except InDesign. No matter what INDD file I work on, what menu I'm in or if I just leave the app open showing the start page, after 3 minutes the InDesign.exe dies. I've checked that I have the latest updates, reinstalled it, removed all presettings of previous versions, tried to run as admin and in compatibilty mode. Nothing changes. It runs 3 minutes and then suddenly dies. In…

  10. idlm

    I worked on a catalogue for a festival and finished my project, then exported a package as requested by the printer.
    Of course, the package included fonts, images, and also an IDML file.

    The problem is that the export to IDML introduced some errors that ended up in the printed version. My original InDesign file looked perfectly fine, but in the IDML, some objects appeared that were not in the InDesign file at all.

    This has created a serious issue for me, as it now seems like the mistake is mine. However, I never opened the IDML to double-check everything,…

  13. When I launching InDesign

    Lately, when I launch InDesign, a dialog box immediately appears that reads: "You cannot reverse this change with the Edit>Unod command. Do you want to continue anyway?" (see screenshot) and you only have two choices: Cancel or OKAY. Being forced to choose OKAY, I'll open a Recent file of some sort, and the stupid dialog box follows me there as well, and sure enough, if I make a change and go to Command Z (I'm on a Mac), the Undo command is ignored and in fact Edit>Undo is greyed out in the menu bar. This has GOT to be a…

  14. properties>fill panel expands off page

    Indesign Version 20.5 on OSX Tahoe

    When inDesign is at the top of the screen (i.e maximum screen size), opening the properties panel and then clicking on fill extends the fill sub menu up the screen, rendering half of the sub menu not visible unless you drag the whole application down. I don't think this is intended UI behaviour (hope not), and it's really frustrating to work with.

  15. notes tool deactivates midway through typing note

    Every time I try to add a new note, the window to type the note briefly activates, but midway through typing my note it deactivates and greys out, deselecting both the note and the whole text thread it is part of. To continue typing the note, I need to click back into the text frame and use the arrows to get to the previous or next note to reactivate it. Then it deactivates again a second or two later. Why is it doing this? I am using 20.4.1 x64.

  16. Segoe UI Emoji font visual issue in Indesign Export PDF

    I have used some smiley glyphs in my InDesign layout with the "Segoe UI Emoji" font. The smiley glyphs appear in black and white in both the InDesign Glyphs panel and my layout. However, in the exported PDF, they appear in yellow.

    Since I am working on a black-and-white layout, this is causing an issue. I am using the latest versions of InDesign 2024 and 2025. I suspect this could be an application bug. Could someone please check and confirm?

  17. Documents appear blank after waking computer from sleep

    Anytime I leave documents open, and my computer goes to sleep (even display sleep), nothing is viewable until I close the file and reopen it. I had this problem previously, and in typical Adobe fashion it stopped and has recently come back. Incredibly annoying, and happens every time when documents are left open and the laptop goes to sleep. Seems to mostly happen when connected to a 2nd monitor.
