2. [ID-4271100]With Application Frame "OFF", Green Maximize Button Doesn't Zoom to Fit Anymore

   ID 21.0
   OSX 15.7.1

   Just updated ID and all the previous docs I've been working on today, are opening in huge windows. It takes a few resizes to scale down the window, then grabbing the bottom right corner to resize the window finally, it's jumping away from the cursor.

   Resizing windows when tiling still does that (as per the previous version/bug), which is also super annoying. Please fix all these bugs!! It's like no one at Adobe uses these products

3. [ID-4272869] InDesign adds Blank space to top during PNG export for converted documents

   I booted up 2026 (version 21.0) and opened a file that I was working on literally yesterday. I have a text box over a solid fill background shape. When I exported them both together yesterday, it worked as expected. Today, it exports with an obnoxious blank space (or filled space if I uncheck "Transparent Background") at the top.

   Absolutely nothing changed with the file, it's just happening in 2026 and not in 2025. Comparison attached.

   Workaround: Export the document to IDML

   Thank you for contacting us and bringing the issue in the latest release of Adobe InDesign to our attention. We sincerely regret the inconvenience this has caused and fully understand how disruptive such interruptions can be to your workflow.

   – Rename the CEP folder to CEP.old from:

   • macOS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe

   • Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe

   If that doesn't help, rename the UXP folder to UXP.old from:

   • macOS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe and ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe

   • Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe

   Once done, relaunch InDesign and check again.

5. Unable to select multiple objects

   Yesterday InDesign 21.0 was forced upon me and it is nothing but issues.
   This very annoying issue is that I can't select multiple objects. I click one, I hold shift to select another one - and it deselects the first one. I have tried every possible combination of keys, and multiple restarts. I can only select multiple objects by dragging across them, which does not work for all layouts, or by using CMD-A.

6. Properties panel will not go away

   Yesterday InDesign 21.0 was forced upon me and I've had nothing but troubles since.
   This specific bug is extremely annoying - I cannot get rid of the Properties panel. I have always used Essentials Classic layout, and I do not want the Properties panel. I close it. With each new file I open - the panel reopens. I cannot get it to go away.
   Make it go away, please.

7. Recurring connectivity issue with InDesign

   Hi Support Team,

   We are experiencing a recurring connectivity issue with Adobe InDesign. The same error message has appeared again, and I’m unable to open the program. My internet connection seems to be working properly, so I don’t believe that’s the cause of the problem.

   My Adobe membership/subscription is still active, and all other Adobe applications are functioning normally. This suggests that the issue isn’t related to the license itself.

   Could you please advise on what might be causing this and how to resolve it?

   Bring the CC app in the foreground the press:

   • Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
   • Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

   If this doeswn't help try the steps below:

   • Sign out from the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application (Sign in and sign out to activate Creative Cloud apps)
   • Browse to the location: [System Drive]:\ProgramData\Adobe
   • Rename the 'SLStore' folder to 'SLStore_old'
   • Browse to the location: [System Drive]:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
   • Rename the 'SLCache' folder to 'SLCache_old'
   • Sign in to the Adobe CC desktop app

   You may also try below steps:

   Close all Adobe apps and make sure no Adobe processes are running in Task Manager.

   1. Make sure that Hosts file does not contains Adobe URL entries with Loop back address 127.0.0.1 .
   2. Press Windows button (located between Ctrl and Alt buttons) along with R button together at a time , you will get a run command window.

   • Type in "Appdata" hit 'Enter' key.
   • It will open Appdata folder.
   • Then navigate to Local>Adobe>OOBE. Open OOBE folder and delete " Opm.db" file.

   Once you had deleted Opm.db file , Sign in to Adobe Creative Cloud app using Valid Email ID and check.

   If this fails the next step is to try a repair of the CC client. See here: Adobe app installation stuck

   If this also doesn't help the nest step is to uninstall/reinstall per linked document above.

   You can also check the following socuments. There are a lot of steps to check. Especially take a look into your HOSTS file.

9. [ID-4272089]Grouped objects does not go back to original layers when ungrouped if 'Ungroup Remembers Layer' is enabled

   1. Version of Adobe InDesign is v21.0
   2. Create several layers, put an object on each layer, make sure that 'Ungroup Remembers Layers' is checked, group all objects, and ungroup.
   3. Expected result: all objects remain on the layer they were on before they were grouped.
   4. Actual results: all objects are on the top layer or the highest layer on which there was an object that was within the group

   In my opinion this should be treated as a hotfix. This is ruining the workflow and messes up the files that then need to either be fixed or rolled back to previous versions. I cannot state how urgent this is, it is absurd that a basic option such as this one is suddenly broken.

10. [ID-4272086]TAB indents are getting removed on dragging the left side

    Good morning, I updated InDesign to version 21 and I'm having problems with the tab stops on both PCs. In the tab settings, if I set three tab stops, for example, the first at 10 cm, the second at 20 cm, and the third at 30 cm, if I move the first one, the other two disappear.
    With the beta version, there were no problems. I tried resetting the preferences, but nothing. A technician connected and checked the problem. He said to report the bug.

11. When importing tables through tagged text, formatting inexplicably and erratically lost; extra hard returns inserted

    1. Adobe InDesign 20.5
    2. Flow the attached .txt files (tagged text) into an InDesign file. you'll need paragraph styles "TABC", "TABH1", "TABTX", and "TAB" (the paragraph for the table). You'll also need table style "TAB" and a cell style "tabtx".
    3. The last cell in table 19.2 should be empty—no hard return. The the text in row 2, column 3 of table 19.4, "katab" should be italic.
    4. There's a hard return in the last cell of table 19.2; any text in cell R2C3 in table 19.4 is not ital (but note that the text in table 19.2 at R2C3 is italic as expected.
    5. See the attached tagged text and Word files as well as the attached screen shot.

    When importing tagged text, I am seeing some formatting—like italic—dropped, and I'm also seeing extra hard returns inserted in the last cell of the table. These problems seem to be intermittent and unpredictable. For example, in a cell with this text

    <CellStart:><ParaStyle:TAB_TX><cTypeface:Italic>katab<cTypeface:><CellEnd:>

    "katab" is not being italicized, but in a cell with this text

    <CellStart:><ParaStyle:TAB_TX><cTypeface:Italic>qəṭál<cTypeface:><CellEnd:>

    "qəṭál" is italicized just fine.

    If I copy and paste the "qəṭál" cell into the first file replacing the "katab" cell, "qəṭál" is not italicized. I've attached the tagged text and Word files for each.

    The other weird thing I'm seeing is a hard return inserted in an otherwise empty last cell in the table. You can see it in the table 19.4 file.

    If it helps, I can upload the InDesign template as well.

    2. Flow the attached .txt files (tagged text) into an InDesign file. you'll need paragraph styles "TABC", "TABH1", "TABTX", and "TAB" (the paragraph for the table). You'll also need table style "TAB" and a cell style "tabtx".

12. Tiny bug within the German UI: GREP style sub menu is missing "aus"

    Please add the German word " aus" (more correct: a space and the word aus) after "Mehrere Zeilen" in the GREP style sub menu within the German InDesign.

    This " aus" (= "off") is missing since at least v2016!

    Screenshot 1 shows the english version, srceenshot 2 how it should look like in German(of course not in red color).

14. Share for review suddenly aligned left

    Since a few weeks ago (maybe longer) I've noticed that when viewing documents in Share for Review (I think this happens in Illustrator as well as InDesign) everything is aligned to the left of the screen. I'm pretty sure it used to be centered. I don't think this is a browser-specific issue - I first noticed it in Microsoft Edge but saw the same thing when I opened in Firefox.

16. Object Style defined to ignore Nonprinting changes Nonprinting status when applied to grouped frames

    Object Style defined to ignore Text Wrap & Other, when applied to a group of two frames where one has Nonprinting applied and the other does not, changes the Nonprinting status.

    Expected result: attributes in a category that is greyed out will be ignored, including Nonprinting.

    Actual result: Nonprinting turned off and frame prints and is visible in Overprint Preview.

    Pictured: The only intended purpose of the object style is to change position of frame. 1: The two frames are grouped. Large frame is live, small frame is note for designer. 2: The object style as defined. (By the way, the Text Wrap attributes are not listed in the style definition summary in the Object Style Options panel.) 3: After invoking the object style, the Nonprinting attribute of the small frame is now unchecked.

17. mathml

    The MathML module does not support Polish characters in formulas. Polish characters are displayed in a different font than the rest of the formula, which makes the entire expression visually inconsistent.

19. InDesign exporting old QR code after editing URL

    InDesign is exporting an old QR code after editing the URL.

    In InDesign I can scan the QR code and it is correct. When I export to PDF, the old (incorrect) QR code is on the PDF. I can literally see the difference ,and when scanned, it goes to the OLD URL.

20. Custom .joboptions presets break all PDF exports in InDesign 20 (macOS 15.6.1)

    ⚠️ Critical Bug: Custom .joboptions presets instantly disable all PDF export in InDesign 20 on macOS 15 — exports appear to finish but no PDF is produced. Removing the preset restores functionality. Confirmed reproducible across multiple systems.

    InDesign 20.0 on macOS 15.6.1 silently fails to export PDFs after a custom PDF preset (.joboptions) is created or added. The export appears to complete, but no file is generated and no error message appears. Removing the custom .joboptions file immediately restores export functionality.

    This occurs even when the preset is a clean derivative of “Press Quality” or “High Quality Print,” suggesting a parsing or sandbox issue with the Adobe PDF Library in InDesign 20/macOS 15.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    Open InDesign 20.0.
    Export a document to PDF successfully using High Quality Print.
    Go to File → Adobe PDF Presets → Define → New and create a custom preset (any name).
    Export again.

    Result:
    Export appears to succeed but no PDF is produced.
    No error dialog or warning appears.

    Additional Notes:
    Reproducible on multiple Macs (Intel and Apple Silicon).
    Default .joboptions files work normally.
    Custom .joboptions files immediately break exports, including valid PostScript syntax.
    Suggests regression in sandbox access or preset parsing introduced in InDesign 20/macOS 15.

    If you’re seeing this issue, please click “Vote” and comment “Same here” so Adobe can prioritize the fix.
