1. 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.

3. Document dissapearing from view after screenlock

   Every time my screen goes to sleep or autolocks, when I open it back up the document I am working on disappears from view. I can see it is still there as there are a few frame outlines visible, and I am able to save it close it and reopen, then all is fine again but it is a very annoying issue as I have to do this multiple times per day.

4. ID 20.0.1 locks up when resizing a table cell, either expanding the column or expanding the row width downward.

   Mac Sonoma, M2 silicon.

   I have an academic text chapter with numerous tables; Hebrew is scattered through the text, and some tables have Hebrew columns. Many times working on the file, the slightest change to resize a table cell, or resize a column, or who knows what, ID will go into rainbow wheel of death mode and must be killed.

   I just now found a repeatable lockup. A table had no header row, but crosses pages, so I created a header row to be present on each page for that table.

   Copying the single line text from a cell into that column's header cell works. Copying a four text line table cell into the one line table header cell for that column expands the header cell (and row) downward, and then ID locks up and must be killed. That has happened twice on one table..

   I now recognize that the same lockup has happened on other similar tables on exactly that same column; when copying a four line text from a cell into a one line header cell that must expand downward, ID locks up.

   For what it is worth, the tables are on pages that are rotated 90º CCW, as the table is too wide for a 6x9 horizontal page.

   In this instance the header row and the row below it are the last elements on a page; when pasting the text into the header cell the header row expands and pushes the first table cell to the next page.

   Other tables have locked up ID when pasting into a header cell that was the first row on a page, but it may have pushed a lower row to the next page; I am not sure of that.

   In another instance, in the top-of-page table panel for that same problematic column, I could click the column width box one point at a time to widen it to its desired width, roughly 66pt to 108pt, but if I entered 108pt in the column width and tabbed out to expand it at once, ID locked up and had to be killed.

   I tried falling back to 19.5.1, but it also locks up and must be killed.

   If you want the file to duplicate the problems, you must provide a private way to transfer it to you.

   Why do you use a fixed size text box on the bug report page, when that makes it difficult to provide sufficiently long problem descriptions?

   If you want more information I will try to provide it. Thank you.

5. Overset text

   Hi team, I am having issues with overset text. When I drag my text frame outside of the bleed line into the workspace the icon doesn't appear. As soon as I drag it onto my page the icon shows and if I increase the text frame additional text space appears above the word. There is no text wrap on the text frame and is on a completely different layer so arrangement isn't an issue. Can you please help me fix this issue.

6. Indesign 20.0.01 freezes when updating fonts

   It happens erratically, however, when Indesign needs to update or scan fonts, it freezes -- even if the document uses fonts that are open and available. Only work around is to click on any other app and then click back on Indesign document. This happens on just about any type of Indesign file (blank pages, or pages with lots of texts and font usage).

7. open type numbers

   in a workaround for another bug in Indesign (Bug: mixed open type numbers) I use a character style for the optentype numbers variety porportional medaevial. Sometimes (!) applying the style to two numbers does not have any effect, it is necessary to apply to a character before and after the numbers to change the style of the numbers.

11. Index type range bugs

    I specifically have my problems with "To Next Use Of Style" and "For Next # Of Paragraphs"

    1. To Next Use Of Style
       The adobe guide specifically says that the range is until the NEXT use of the specific para style but if the paragraph that contains the index marker is the same as the intended end of range, it only recognizes the first page. It counts the current para style aswell.
       So if I want to i.e. make an index marker on a bridgehead with a range until the next bridgehead, I have to put the marker to the beginning of the following paragraph instead of on the bridgehead as the author intended.

    2. For Next # Of Paragraphs
       Here the range is always only to the beginning of the paragraphs, not till the end. So if I have an index marker on a paragraph and the range should end at the end of the first paragraph which exceeds to the following page, I have to type "2" instead of "1" since the latter only counts the beginning of the paragraph (or in this case the point of the index marker) and thus only the first page is shown in the index output.
       But Using the n+1 method is buggy if there are later corrections and the sentence flow shifts in a way that this paragraph that was previously splitted to two pages now is placed on one and ends on the bottom of the page, whereas the next paragraph begins on the following page. In this case the previously page rage will still be set until the beginning of the second paragraph and thus include the second page wrongfully.

    TL;DR
    Please make the page-range type function "For Next # Of Paragraphs" disregard the style of the paragraph with the index maker.
    Please edit the function of "For Next # Of Paragraphs" in a way that the range ends at the end of the paragraph, not the beginning.

12. Embedded graphics from Word-doc have comma-extension instead of dot-extension in Links-list

    On a Mac: when I place a Word-file with embedded graphics, they all appear in the links panel as embedded graphics. But they have a file extension with a comma. So image, jpg instead of image.jpg. The same goes for other extensions. When you need to unembed them in order to improve the image, the comma is preventing my computer from opening the file. When I change it to a dot, then I can open the image. But then InDesign has lost track of the image and I need to re-link it.
    Iit doesn't occur when I change InDesign to English. This error has been there for a few years already, but since you've solved this in the English version I expect this to be just a small task for Adobe.

14. Indesign 2024 keeps opening!

    I use both Indesign 2023 and Indesign 2024 on MacOS Monterey. I already changed the Indesign files option to "open with Indesign 2023". But whenever I try to open an Indesign file both Indesign 2023 and 2024 open. I want to open the file with Indesign 2023. Even if 2023 is already opened it still opens Indesign cc2024 too. How do I stop 2024 doing that?

15. Indesign 20.0.1: Imported ai files suddenly have a white background

    I want to put a logo on a photo and Indesign automatically fills the background of the object frame with white. The imported logo (in .ai format) is not isolated and you cannot change the background color of the box. The error only occurs in Indesign 20.0.1. I reinstalled version 20.0 and the problem is gone.

    Expected result: Opened file shows guides
    Actual result: Opened file does not show guides

    Opening any new or existing file in InDesign 2025 opens the file with guides turned off. Opening the same existing files in InDesign 2024 opens the file with guides turned on.

17. images move

    I have a large InDesign file for a product catalogue, and when opening it yesterday, for the first time ever since I started working on it many years ago, I realized that some images have shifted position. It almost seems like the kind of problems we get in Microsoft Word when moving images.

    My images are anchored objects in text. They should not be moving position randomly. They should stay at the place I have assigned to them, even with text reflowing following text changes.

    Why does it do this?

    Windows, InDesign 20.0.1 x64.

19. 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?

20. Alert is shown on opening documents in InDesign(v20.0.1) - "This file is already open by another user or another application."

    Yesterday I edited a file in Indesign V19.5.1. Now I can no longer open this and many of my previous design files. I get the error message: ‘This file is already open by another user or application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it.

    I have updated to V20.0.1 and reinstalled V19.0. Both did not help. This bug has been around for a long time in different versions and it occurs regularly.
