2. Minimised panels not expanding when file opened via Windows Explorer

   Using Indesign 21.6 x64, and when InDesign is already running - when double clicking an indd file in Windows Explorer (to open the file in InDesign), the minimized panel icons I have as part of my custom workspace do not open when clicked.

   I need to close InDesign and restart, then open the file from within InDesign and then these minimized panels will expand when clicked as expected. Even if all is working as expected (panels expanding on click because I opened file via InDesign), and then if I open a file from Windows Explorer all panels stop opening on any and all indd files already open.

3. InDesign 21.6 freezes for 5 seconds when placing images ONLY when offline on macOS

   A severe 4-to-5 second application hang/freeze occurs every time a user attempts to place an image file while the Mac is disconnected from the internet. If the Mac is online, the lag disappears completely. This is a regression bug introduced in recent 21.x builds.Steps to Reproduce:Open Adobe InDesign v21.6 on macOS.Disconnect the computer from the internet (turn off Wi-Fi and unplug ethernet).Create a new, blank document.Press Cmd + D to place any standard image file (e.g., JPEG, PNG) stored on the local hard drive.Click on the document layout to place the graphic asset.

   Expected Result:The image should place instantly onto the layout canvas without hesitation.

   Actual Result:InDesign freezes entirely, displaying a spinning wait cursor or locking up the mouse pointer for roughly 4 to 5 seconds before the image finally drops onto the page.Crucial Diagnostic Variables (Verified):Network Status: The bug only triggers when the Mac is offline. If the computer is connected to the internet, images place instantly without any lag.Regression: Rolling back three versions prior entirely fixes the problem. The issue does not exist in older builds, pointing directly to a telemetry, asset verification, or cloud-feature timeout loop introduced in recent 21.x code.

   Tested: Verified on local files (not cloud-synced folders or network servers).

   Third-party utilities have been ruled out.
   System Specs:App Version: InDesign v21.6 (and recent 21.x builds)OS: macOS

4. text missing

   Hi,

   System:
   MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) Apple M1 Pro 16 GB RAM macOS Sonoma 14.6.1
   
   InDesign 2026

   When I open this file in InDesign 2026, the document opens, but the text and graphics are not visible on several pages.

   I don’t know when exactly this happened. I didn’t notice any crash, error message, or problem while saving the file.

   What I have tried:

   • Switched between GPU and CPU Preview — no change.
   • Changed the display settings — no change.
   • Opened the file in InDesign 2025. After conversion, some of the text and graphics become visible, but a lot of the content is still missing.

   I still have the original INDD file and have not overwritten it.

5. Open PDF in InDesign not properly working when a vector image is present (.ai or .eps)

   When we export a PDF from InDesign with the box "Preserve InDesign Editing Capabilities" checked, if we open the resulting PDF in InDesign, it is perfect, styles are preserved, guidelines, tables, Layers, Parent Pages... All is ok. (just as if a idml was included in the PDF)

   However, as soon as we include a .ai or .eps anywhere in the InDesign file, the exported PDF can no longer be imported back in InDesign with all format. Styles are lost or are named "Paragraph1", "Paragraph2", no more guidelines, no more Parent Pages, tables are not like before...

   We're trying again every time a new version of InDesign is out. This morning, it was InDesign 21.6 (Windows). Still the same problem.

6. split layout view doesn't work anymore

   This morning, InDesign was updated (version 21.6), and the split layout view no longer works—or rather, it works only partially: the open document remains visible only on the left side, while the right side of the window is blank. I checked the zoom and page alignment, but nothing is visible.
   I’m working on Windows 11. I have already tried the basic troubleshooting steps, including deleting the cache and preferences. I even uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign, but the issue still persists.

8. Remove All AI (Artificial Intelligence) from Programs

   To remove all AI features whether totally or at the very least the ability to manually turn off these settings. AI is a threat to everyone who pays for your services and it is a slap in the face you are forcing it upon us. True creativity is human and your attempts to recreate are an abomination.

9. freeze

   InDesign freezes when clicking a menu item before it becomes highlighted

   I have encountered a reproducible UI bug in the latest version of Adobe InDesign on macOS Sequoia.

   The issue occurs when using the application menus:

   1. Open a menu (for example Layout).
   2. Move the mouse to a menu item, but click very quickly, before the item has had time to become highlighted/active.
   3. If the click lands in the area of the menu item while it is still not highlighted, InDesign may immediately become completely unresponsive.
   4. The application cannot be interacted with anymore and has to be force-quit (killall InDesign / Force Quit).

   The problem is not document-specific and can be reproduced with a new, empty document.

   It seems to be related to the menu's mouse hit-testing or hover/highlight state: essentially, clicking a menu item faster than the UI can update its highlighted state can cause the entire application to freeze.

   This is particularly easy to trigger for users who work quickly and are accustomed to clicking menu items immediately after opening a menu.

   Keyboard shortcuts work normally, so I currently avoid using the menus whenever possible.

   Expected behavior:
   If the user clicks a menu item before its visual highlight has updated, InDesign should either activate the item normally or simply ignore the click. It should not freeze the entire application.

   Actual behavior:
   InDesign becomes completely unresponsive and requires a force quit.

10. Undo completely greyed out and Command-Z will not work

    As described^ even force quit the application and opened holding command+option+control+shift. This only allowed me to undo once before greying out the Undo button under Edit and failing to do anything when I clicked Command-Z. Is this part of the new software update?

12. Bug: Span footnotes across columns does not print correctly via direct printing, only works via PDF export

    InDesign 21.5.1

    INFORME DE ERROR TÉCNICO (BUG REPORT) — ADOBE INDESIGN

    Dirigido a: Adobe Systems Incorporated (InDesign Engineering & Development Team)
    
    Asunto: Fallo crítico en el renderizado de impresión directa de notas al pie expandidas entre columnas (Span Footnotes Across Columns)
    
    Estado: Error reproducible en entornos de producción

    ---

    1. RESUMEN DEL PROBLEMA (SUMMARY)

    Existe un fallo grave en el motor de impresión directa (Direct Print Engine) de Adobe InDesign al procesar marcos de texto multicolumna con la opción "Expandir notas al pie entre columnas" (Span Footnotes Across Columns) activada.

    Al enviar el documento directamente a una impresora física o un controlador de impresión digital desde la interfaz de InDesign, el sistema no renderiza ni imprime la sección de la nota al pie que se extiende hacia las columnas de la derecha, omitiendo todo el texto que sobrepasa el ancho de la primera columna (columna izquierda). El diseño se visualiza de forma impecable en la pantalla de edición, pero la salida física resulta defectuosa e incompleta.

    El error se circunscribe exclusivamente al flujo de impresión directa; se ha comprobado que el renderizado es correcto si el documento se exporta previamente como un archivo cerrado en formato estándar Adobe PDF (PDF/X-4).

    ---

    2. DETALLES DEL ENTORNO DE PRUEBAS (ENVIRONMENT)

    • Software: Adobe InDesign (Versiones con soporte nativo para expansión de notas en marcos multicolumna).
    • Configuración del documento: Maquetación literaria de alta densidad (estilo clásico/académico) dispuesta a dos columnas.
    • Configuración de notas: Menú Texto > Opciones de nota al pie de página del documento > Diseño, con la casilla "Expandir notas al pie entre columnas" habilitada de forma global.
    • Comportamiento en pantalla: Corrección absoluta. El flujo de las notas rompe las dos columnas y cruza la página de lado a lado en la vista normal y en el modo de previsualización.

    ---

    3. PASOS PARA REPRODUCIR EL ERROR (STEPS TO REPRODUCE)

    1. Crear un documento en InDesign y configurar un marco de texto maestro con dos o más columnas.
    2. Insertar texto continuo en el cuerpo principal y añadir múltiples notas al pie de página de gran extensión.
    3. Acceder a Texto > Opciones de nota al pie de página del documento y activar la opción "Expandir notas al pie entre columnas" para que las notas crucen horizontalmente todo el ancho de la caja.
    4. Confirmar que en el lienzo de InDesign las notas se muestran correctamente distribuidas de lado a lado.
    5. Ir a Archivo > Imprimir, configurar una impresora física o un controlador de PDF virtual (PostScript/PCL) y ejecutar la orden de impresión.

    ---

    4. RESULTADO ESPERADO VS. RESULTADO REAL

    • Resultado Esperado: La página impresa debe ser un fiel reflejo de la previsualización en pantalla, mostrando las notas al pie expandidas ocupando todo el ancho horizontal asignado bajo el texto en columnas.
    • Resultado Real (FALLO): La impresora solo plasma sobre el papel la porción de texto de la nota que coincide geométricamente con el ancho de la columna izquierda. Todo el texto subsiguiente de la nota que fluye hacia el espacio de la columna derecha se corta por completo y desaparece de la impresión, dejando un espacio en blanco y arruinando la maquetación.

    ---

    5. DIAGNÓSTICO TÉCNICO PRELIMINAR

    El origen del problema radica en una falta de comunicación entre el gestor de composición de pantalla de InDesign y su intérprete de comandos de impresión (Print Spooler / controlador PostScript/PCL interno).

    Cuando la opción "Expandir notas al pie" está activa, InDesign aplica un cálculo dinámico de coordenadas en pantalla para anular el límite de la columna. Sin embargo, al enviar los datos brutos a la cola de impresión directa, el programa calcula el área de recorte (Bounding Box) de la nota basándose erróneamente en el ancho de origen de la columna donde se inserta el superíndice (la primera columna), ignorando la instrucción de expansión horizontal.

    ---

    6. SOLUCIÓN TEMPORAL HALLADA (WORKAROUND)

    La única manera de circunvalar este error crítico es forzar un aplanamiento previo de la estructura de objetos:
    1. Exportar el libro mediante Archivo > Exportar > Adobe PDF (Impresión) utilizando los estándares de preimpresión [PDF/X-4:2010] o [PDF/X-1a:2001].
    2. Abrir el archivo consolidado en Adobe Acrobat e imprimir desde dicha plataforma. En este escenario, la impresión se realiza al 100% de fidelidad, demostrando que el fallo reside estrictamente en el submódulo de impresión directa desde la suite de InDesign.

    ---

    7. IMPACTO Y PETICIÓN DE CORRECCIÓN

    Este fallo supone un perjuicio importante para el flujo de trabajo editorial y de preimpresión, forzando pasos adicionales obligatorios para verificar pruebas físicas elementales. Se solicita al equipo de ingeniería de InDesign que revise los algoritmos del motor de impresión para que interpreten adecuadamente las directrices de diseño de las notas extendidas en marcos multicolumna sin necesidad de recurrir a pasarelas de exportación externas.

14. InDesign 2026: CMYK objects on the pasteboard display darker with Overprint Preview or Separations Preview Body I am experiencing a displa

    I am experiencing a display issue in InDesign 2026 when using Overprint Preview or Separations Preview.

    CMYK objects placed on the pasteboard (outside the page) become significantly darker, while the same objects displayed inside the page remain correct.

    The same document does not show this issue in InDesign 2025.

    I have tested this issue in multiple versions of InDesign 2026:

    Version 21.4.1.4
    Version 21.5.1

    The same issue occurs in both versions.

    Environment
    Adobe InDesign 2026
    Versions tested: 21.4.1.4 and 21.5.1
    Mac mini M4 Pro
    macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 (25G83)
    Monitor: EIZO ColorEdge CX240
    Connection: USB-C to DisplayPort
    Issue

    I have CMYK text and graphic objects positioned so that they extend from the page area onto the pasteboard.

    In Normal Preview, everything displays correctly both inside the page and on the pasteboard.

    However, when print simulation preview modes are enabled, the objects on the pasteboard display incorrectly.

    When Overprint Preview is enabled

    When I enable:

    View > Overprint Preview

    the display changes as follows:

    CMYK objects inside the page → display correctly
    The same CMYK objects on the pasteboard → become significantly darker
    Placed photos on the pasteboard → may disappear

    The CMYK values of the objects are the same.

    The appearance changes specifically when the object crosses from the page area onto the pasteboard.

    Separations Preview test

    I also tested:

    Window > Output > Separations Preview

    Preview: Off
    Inside page → Correct
    Pasteboard → Correct
    Preview: Separations
    Inside page → Correct
    Pasteboard → CMYK objects become significantly darker
    The same issue occurs as with Overprint Preview

    Therefore, the problem also occurs when Separations Preview is set to Separations.

    Both Overprint Preview and Separations Preview produce the same incorrect display behavior on the pasteboard.

    Summary of test results
    Preview mode Inside page Pasteboard
    Normal Preview Correct Correct
    Separations Preview: Off Correct Correct
    Overprint Preview Correct CMYK becomes darker / images may display incorrectly
    Separations Preview: Separations Correct CMYK becomes darker / same issue
    Comparison with InDesign 2025

    I tested the same document in InDesign 2025.

    With Overprint Preview enabled, objects display correctly both inside the page and on the pasteboard.

    However, the issue occurs in InDesign 2026.

    I tested:

    Version 21.4.1.4
    Version 21.5.1

    and the same issue occurs in both versions.

    This appears to be a possible display regression or rendering issue introduced in InDesign 2026.

    Steps to reproduce
    Create a new document
    Create a text or graphic object with a CMYK fill
    Position the object so that it extends from the page onto the pasteboard

    Enable either:

    View > Overprint Preview

    or

    Window > Output > Separations Preview > Preview: Separations
    Compare the appearance of the object inside the page and on the pasteboard

    The CMYK object displays correctly inside the page but significantly darker on the pasteboard.

    Expected result

    The same CMYK object should display consistently and correctly both inside the page and on the pasteboard when Overprint Preview or Separations Preview is enabled.

    At minimum, I would expect the same behavior as InDesign 2025.

    I would appreciate it if others could test whether this issue can be reproduced on other systems, or confirm whether there has been an intentional change to pasteboard rendering in InDesign 2026.

    Screenshots are attached.

    CMYK objects placed on the pasteboard (outside the page) become significantly darker, while the same objects displayed inside the page remain correct.

    The same document does not show this issue in InDesign 2025.

    I have tested this issue in multiple versions of InDesign 2026:

    Version 21.4.1.4
    Version 21.5.1

    The same issue occurs in both versions.

    Environment
    Adobe InDesign 2026
    Versions tested: 21.4.1.4 and 21.5.1
    Mac mini M4 Pro
    macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 (25G83)
    Monitor: EIZO ColorEdge CX240
    Connection: USB-C to DisplayPort

15. Display

    New release of Indesign does not allow for proper viewing of JPGs regardless of display mode, files are all properly linked. It's impossible to work without seeing any image imports.

17. Text moves or disappears when moving text frames

    I am experiencing a serious issue with text frames in Adobe InDesign on Windows.

    When I move a text frame on the page, the text inside the frame sometimes moves by itself, even though I am only moving the text frame and I am not modifying or resizing it.

    Sometimes, the text completely disappears from the frame and InDesign displays the red “+” overset text indicator, as if the frame had suddenly become too small to contain the text, even though I did not resize the frame.

    When this happens, I can use Ctrl + Alt + C (Fit Frame to Content) and the text becomes visible again. However, the frame does not always fit the text correctly, and the same problem happens again when I move the text frame.

    The issue is not limited to one document. I tested it in a completely new InDesign document and the exact same problem occurs, so it does not appear to be caused by a corrupted InDesign file.

    I have already tried:

    Updating InDesign to the latest available version
    Resetting InDesign preferences
    Changing the Dynamic Screen Redraw setting
    Testing the issue in a completely new document

    None of these solutions fixed the problem.

    This bug is severely affecting my workflow because I cannot reliably move or position text frames without the text moving, disappearing or becoming overset.

    I have a screen recording showing the bug happening in real time and can attach it to this report.

    System information:
    Operating system: Windows
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU
    InDesign: Latest available version

18. InDesign freezes when I insert an image.

    Everytime I insert an image on InDesign, the system freezes and starts buffering endlessly. Return to work involves shutting InDesing and restarting the computer. It is a nightmare.

19. In Design bleibt immer hängen

    Ich kann keine Dokumente mehr bearbeiten. Der Curser der Maus dreht immer blau im Kreis. Ich kann keine Texte mehr abändern. Habe InDesign Version 21.5.1. Es geht so seit 2 Wochen, habe ganze Installation deinstalliert und jetzt wieder installiert. Es nützt nichts.
