2. Bug Report and Feature Request for IME Input on macOS When Inline Input Is Disabled

   I would like to report an issue with IME (Input Method Editor) input and request improvements to the way InDesign handles non-Latin text input, such as Japanese.

   1. InDesign Version
      InDesign 21.5.1
      The same issue also occurs in earlier versions.
      Confirmed on macOS 15.7.9, but the issue also occurs on other versions of macOS.

   2. Steps to Reproduce
      a. disable Preferences > Advanced Type > Input Method Options > Use &Inline Input for Non-Latin Text
      b. Using the Type tool, place the text cursor in a story and enter CJK text while text is selected.
      c. Undo the text input.

   3. Expected Result
      The document should return to the state it was in before the text was entered.

   4. Actual Result
      The document does not return to the state it was in before the text was entered.
      The Undo command must be performed three times.

   Additional Information
   1. Performance when Inline Input is enabled
   When a story contains a large amount of text, Apply Inline Input to Non-Latin Text causes input and display updates to become extremely slow.
   For this reason, there are cases where I need to work with this option disabled.

   1. IME window position
      As shown in the attached screenshots, the position of the IME window differs between InDesign 2023 and earlier versions and InDesign 2024 and later versions.
      In both cases, however, the IME window cannot be moved away from the edge of the screen.
      For example, I may place the text cursor in the center of the screen, but the IME window appears at the edge of the screen while I am entering and converting text. This forces me to look back and forth between the cursor position and the edge of the screen, which significantly disrupts the input workflow and is very tiring.

   2. Customizable IME window size and position
      I would like the IME window to be freely resizable and movable by the user.
      Its size and position should also be preserved and restored the next time InDesign is launched.

   <にほんご>
   インライン入力不使用時の不具合報告と改善要望

   日本語などCJK環境
   で、入力-変換-確定 を行うためのIME（Input Method Editor）に関する不満があり、改善を希望します。

   1. InDesignのバージョン

   InDesign 21.5.1 およびそれ以前のバージョンも同様
   macOS15.7.9 で確認　しかし他のmacOSでも発生

   1. 再現手順

   a. 環境設定 > 高度なテキスト > 入力オプション「ラテン文字以外にインライン入力を適用」のチェックをオフにする
   b. 文字ツールでストーリー内のテキストを選択したまま、和字を入力
   c. 手順bを取り消す

   1. 期待される結果

   ドキュメントはテキストを入力する前の状態に戻ること。

   1. 実際の結果

   ドキュメントはテキストを入力する前の状態に戻らない。
   取り消しが3回必要である。

   その他の情報

   1. インライン入力を有効にした際のパフォーマンス低下
      ストーリーが大量のテキストを含む場合「ラテン文字以外にインライン入力を適用」では入力と表示の更新があまりにも遅くなるため、オフで作業をしたい場合があります。

   2. IMEウィンドウの位置
      添付画像の通り、2023以前と2024以降でIMEウィンドウの出現位置が異なりますが、いずれも画面の端から動かせません。画面の中央にカーソルを立てて、画面の端で文字を入力・変換するため、視点の移動が激しく入力作業が滞ってしまい、とても疲れます。

   3. IMEウィンドウのサイズと位置をカスタマイズ可能にしてほしい
      IMEウィンドウのサイズと位置をユーザーが任意に変形・移動、またそれを次回アプリ起動時にも保持されてほしいです。

3. Stops working after 10-15 minutes

   Version 21.5.1
   When using InDesign after about 10-15 minutes, I can still see my file but I cannot do anything: I can't change anything, can't add anything, it's completely frozen. The pointer still works and can move about the page. I can click on buttons but the drop down menus don't come down, and I cannot close the file even with shortcuts or close down InDesign. I have to End Task in order for it to close down. This continues to happen repeatedly.

   Expected Result: InDesign should not be hanging up and forcing me to Force Quit in order to try to hobble along.

   Actual Result: InDesign is hanging up after 10-15 minutes where I cannot proceed to do anything in the software.

4. InDesign 21.5.1 hangs after adding images

   InDesign 21.5.1 hangs sometimes right after adding images to the frame. It doesn't happen every time but maybe with every fifth image. It then gets stuck in 'checking' state where editing text is unresponsive and just waiting doesn't resolve it. Simply restarting the program isn't enough so it requires bringing up task manager, ending the process and restarting computer. This happens to me and my coworker 1-2 times per day.

5. Bug: PDF export, replacing text with blank pages mid-document

   This bug has been around for many years now, over many versions of InDesign, at least since 2020, and I think best detailed in the link below, but it seems others have reported issues of the same nature too, to which there are just no replies from Adobe.

   We work on hundreds of books a year, mostly straight text - novels etc - and have found that for no discernible reason, perhaps one time in a thousand, a book will be exported containing blank pages where there should be text, though retaining the book's cropmarks, just deleting the actual text itself. I can share files with any Adobe people who contact me but can't post them publicly for copyright reasons. It's not reproducible, and seems to fix itself even if the file is totally unaltered just by doing a second export. The problem is that it's hard to spot and extremely dangerous to have software that randomly blanks out a few pages for no reason whatsoever. I would expect either a warning or a failure to export if this was the case, but it's just silently generated, with the text blanked out here and there, which makes it completely unreliable and a critical and very expensive failure. Currently running on MacOS Tahoe 26.6.2, InDesign 20.5.2, but this is a bug going back at least 6 years and multiple OSs.

   For earlier details on this supposedly fixed issue see this, marked as closed:

6. Image placing issue

   Hi,

   Whenever I place two or three images, the software becomes unresponsive and gets stuck. I have to force-close the application and restart it to continue working.

7. function stops working

   More and more often in InDesign, the "Edit > Undo Move" (or "Undo") function stops working—it’s greyed out. It’s really frustrating!
   Thanks, everyone.

8. ID crashes inserting pictures

   ID crashes inserting multiple pictures, one by one.

   When the crash occurs, I can't do anything—neither save nor go back.

   Little bit annoying because it's crashing every twenty minutes.

9. SVG arrows point the wrong direction, so fix that

   We rely on SVG for our technical diagrams, but InDesign renders them incorrectly. For some reason, all arrowheads point due east in InDesign, regardless of the alignment of the line they reside on.

   Every browser I tried renders the attached SVG correctly. Let's get this fixed, guys. Thanks...

   Wait, you can't attach an SVG here? That's brilliant, Adobe. It's a fundamental format in the domain of these applications. So let me spend my time zipping files up...

   OK, no Zip files either? WTF? I can't wait to banish Adobe from our firm. Absolutely disrespectful, customer-robbing trash.

11. InDesign 2026 (macOS): every open CEP panel costs ~20–25% CPU continuously

    InDesign 2026 (macOS): every open CEP panel costs ~20–25% CPU continuously — the host redraws the panel at display refresh rate even when the panel is completely static

    Summary

    With any CEP (HTML) extension panel open, the InDesign process burns roughly
    20–25% CPU permanently on a 120 Hz display, with no user interaction and no
    activity in the panel. Each additional open panel adds the same again (three
    panels ≈ 75%). Closing the panel, or collapsing it to a dock icon, returns
    InDesign to its ~5% idle baseline immediately.

    Call-stack sampling shows InDesign's main thread spending ~67% of its time in
    -[MTKView draw] → PlugPlugOwl.framework, which on EVERY display-link tick
    allocates a new MTLTexture, runs a CPU pixel-conversion pass over the whole
    panel bitmap, and uploads the full bitmap with
    -[MTLTexture replaceRegion:mipmapLevel:withBytes:bytesPerRow:] — even though
    the panel's renderer (CEPHtmlEngine) is idle and has produced no new frame.
    The MTKView appears to be in continuous-draw mode at the display's native
    refresh rate rather than paused-and-drawn-on-demand.

    Illustrator 2026 on the same machine, with the same PlugPlugOwl 12.1.0.5
    build, does NOT show this: opening a CEP panel there adds no CPU at all. So
    the issue is in InDesign's hosting of the CEP view, not in CEP/CEF itself.

    Environment

    • Adobe InDesign 2026, version 21.5.1.73 (build 21510)
    • macOS 26.6.2 (25G83), Apple M1 (8-core), 16 GB
    • Display: DELL U2725QE, 3840×2160 at 120 Hz, UI scaled to 1920×1080 (2×)
    • CEP 12.1.0 (CSXS 12); PlugPlugOwl.framework 12.1.0.5 inside the InDesign app bundle; CEPHtmlEngine Chrome/99.0.4844.84
    • CEP PlayerDebugMode = 1 (unsigned development panels), but the panels used are ordinary HTML panels with no special CEF command-line flags
    • For comparison: Adobe Illustrator 2026 (30.8.0) — same machine, same PlugPlugOwl build — is unaffected
    • Persists after a full restart of InDesign: [ ] yes / [ ] no ← fill in

    Steps to reproduce

    1. Launch InDesign, let it settle, watch the InDesign process in Activity Monitor: ~5% CPU at idle.
    2. Open any CEP HTML panel. (Reproduced with three different in-house panels; the one used for the measurements below is a fully static page — no timers, no requestAnimationFrame, no CSS animations, no polling.)
    3. Do nothing. InDesign's CPU rises by ~20–25% and stays there for as long as the panel is open.
    4. Open a second and third panel: each adds ~20–25% more (≈75% with three).
    5. Close a panel: CPU drops by the same amount immediately. Collapse a panel to a dock icon: same — cost goes to zero.

    Expected

    An idle panel should cost ~0%. The host should redraw the panel's view only
    when CEF delivers a new frame.

    Actual

    The host redraws — and re-uploads the full panel bitmap to a NEW Metal
    texture — on every vblank, regardless of whether the panel content changed.

    Evidence

    1. It is the InDesign process, not the panel's renderer. With one static
    panel open (Activity Monitor): InDesign 50–58% (with sample running
    concurrently; ~30% without), the panel's CEPHtmlEngine process 0.8%. A Chrome
    DevTools Protocol CPU profile of the panel page over the same period was
    99.7% idle, and document.getAnimations() returned an empty list — the page
    produced no new frames.

    2. Call-stack sample (attached: indesign-sample-one-panel-open.txt,
    sample <pid> 5 at 1 ms). Of 3465 main-thread samples, 2310 (67%) are:

    -[NSApplication run] … __CFRunLoopRun → _dispatch_main_queue_drain
      → __23-[MTKView __initCommon]_block_invoke (MetalKit)
        → -[MTKView draw]
          → PlugPlugOwl +0xf0ea8 → +0xf03ec → +0xf07ec           (2302 samples)
              ├─ PlugPlugOwl +0xf0da4 → +0xf5b20/+0xf5b64/…   (1216 samples — a per-pixel CPU loop over the panel bitmap)
              ├─ PlugPlugOwl +0xf0874 → -[IOGPUMetalTexture replaceRegion:mipmapLevel:withBytes:bytesPerRow:]
              │     → AGX::Texture::writeRegion / processCompressedRegion2D   (342 samples — full-bitmap upload)
              ├─ PlugPlugOwl +0xf0744 → -[AGXTexture initWithDevice:desc:…] → IOGPUResourceCreate   (35 samples — a NEW texture every frame)
              └─ PlugPlugOwl +0xf087c → _xzm_free_large_huge   (freeing a large buffer every frame)
    

    The CEP CVDisplayLink thread in the same sample shows MetalKit's
    DisplayLinkCallback → dispatch_source_merge_data → _dispatch_runloop_queue_poke
    on every vblank — i.e. the MTKView is running with isPaused = NO /
    enableSetNeedsDisplay = NO at the display's refresh rate.

    For comparison, indesign-sample-panels-closed.txt is the same sample with
    all panels closed: the main thread is ~96% blocked in mach_msg and there
    are no PlugPlugOwl frames at all.

    3. The cost tracks the display refresh rate. Switching the display from
    120 Hz to 60 Hz (nothing else changed) roughly halved InDesign's CPU with the
    panel open (one measurement: 58% → 24%).

    4. The cost tracks the panel's pixel area. Resizing the panel larger /
    smaller moves InDesign's CPU up / down accordingly.

    5. A collapsed (icon-docked) panel costs nothing — consistent with the
    per-frame work being proportional to the view's size.

    6. Illustrator is unaffected. Same machine, same session, Illustrator
    2026 with a CEP panel open stays at ~2% CPU.

    Impact

    Every CEP extension — third-party and Adobe's own — costs a sustained ~20–25%
    of a CPU core per open panel on any 120 Hz display, which includes every
    MacBook Pro since 2021 (ProMotion). Users who keep two or three panels open
    have InDesign sitting at 50–75% CPU all day: lag, fans, battery drain, and the
    effect compounds with other work. Users are unlikely to attribute it to the
    panels since the panels themselves look idle and their renderer processes
    show ~0%.

    Related reports

    • InDesign 2022 17.3 – HIGH CPU when idle
      (community forum, Jul 2022 – Jan 2024, unresolved). Very likely this same
      bug seen from the outside: 30–40% idle CPU in the InDesign process itself
      (the reporter ruled out CEPHtmlEngine when staff pointed at it) on a 16"
      M1 Max MacBook Pro — a 120 Hz ProMotion display — persisting from 17.0
      through the 2024 release. The default workspace includes the CC Libraries
      panel, which is a CEP panel, so a user needs no third-party extension to
      hit it. Quick check for that thread's reporters: collapse the Libraries
      panel to an icon and watch the CPU drop.

    • High GPU load on macOS 26 Tahoe
      (Illustrator UserVoice, also reported for InDesign; status "Started",
      3 Aug 2026: "platform-level compositing issue … flagged with Apple",
      workaround in Illustrator beta 30.8.0.72). Adjacent but NOT the same
      issue — that one is WindowServer GPU with the app's CPU low, whereas this
      is CPU inside the InDesign process in its own MTKView draw. Please don't
      merge them; note that Illustrator 30.8.0, which carries that workaround,
      is the app that does NOT show this problem.

    Suggested fix

    In the InDesign side of the CEP view hosting (PlugPlugOwl's MTKView usage):

    • Run the MTKView paused (isPaused = YES, enableSetNeedsDisplay = YES) and call setNeedsDisplay only when CEF delivers a new frame (OnPaint), the way Illustrator's hosting evidently already behaves.
    • Reuse one MTLTexture per view rather than allocating and freeing one per frame, and skip the CPU conversion + upload when the frame is unchanged.

    Workarounds for affected users

    • Set the display refresh rate to 60 Hz (halves the cost).
    • Collapse panels to dock icons when not in use (cost goes to zero).
    • Keep panels closed rather than open-but-idle.

12. Unable to deselect image in latest update

    When selected multiple boxes (image, text, graphic etc.) In the latest update (21.4) I am unable to deselect the image box using shift if there is an image placed which I used to be able to do. I am currently selecting what I need manually which is a pain when dealing with lots of elements.

13. ID very slow in scrolling with many tables

    When a document has many tables, even if small ones, scrolling is abysmally slow. You can't work on it, since you can't even stop scrolling when expected, since ID continue scrolling to previous or following pages as it likes.

    I had this same document in CS6 on a Mac mini Quad-Core 2012. It was faster than with the latest ID on a Mac mini M4 Pro.

14. Puntero de mouse queda trabado con icono de reloj y permite trabajar a medias

    Apenas se abre el programa y selecciono una herramienta, el puntero queda trabado con ese icono, permite seleccionar menues pero no puedo hacer nada mas y es mucho peor cuando inserto una imagen, se crashea todo y es imposible tener un flujo de trabajo, no se soluciona incluso al reiniciar el programa. La unica forma de salir es a través de el finalizardor de tareas.
    No puedo deshacer ninguna accion y los menues que se abren estas en blanco.

15. Pointer disappears / shows unrelated shape after ~10–15 min of use — requires force quit

    Environment:
    InDesign 21.5.1
    macOS Tahoe 26.6.2
    Mac Studio, Apple M1 Max

    Description:
    After roughly 10–15 minutes of normal use, the pointer stops behaving correctly. No specific action seems to trigger it — it just starts happening during regular work. The pointer either disappears completely or displays a random shape unrelated to the current tool or action. Once this occurs, InDesign becomes unresponsive and the only way to recover is to force quit and relaunch the app.

    Steps to reproduce:

    Open InDesign and work as usual.
    Continue working for approximately 10–15 minutes (no specific trigger identified).
    Observe the pointer.

    Expected behavior: Pointer reflects the active tool/action as normal.

    Actual behavior: Pointer disappears or shows a random, unrelated shape. InDesign then stops responding and must be force quit.

    Workaround: None. Force quit and restart InDesign to restore normal function.

    Frequency: Consistent, occurs after ~10–15 minutes of use.

    Environment:
    InDesign 21.5.1

16. InDesign 2026 21.5.1.73 : Concatenation of "Font Style" in the "Font Family" field: "Character Styles" functions

    InDesign 2026 21.5.1.73
    Concatenation of "Font Style" in the "Font Family" field:
    "Character Styles" functions
    If I apply only a "Font Style" without specifying the "Font Family" part, when I apply the style to text, it adds "Font Style" next to "Font Family" (not normal) and also within "Font Style" (normal).

    Example with "Futura std" in "Paragraph Styles" + "Bold Condensed" in "Character Styles"

18. Tables are causing a crash every time I attempt to split or merge a cell in a table.

    In Adobe InDesign 2026 (21.5.1) I am unable to work in tables. Any time I attempt to merge two cells or split a cell vertically or horizontally I experience a crash. I had to downgrade to 20.5.5 to get tables to work correctly. MacOS Tahoe Version 26.2.2.

19. copy paste illustrator zu indesign (und andersrum)

    Wieso kann nicht einfach, wie von allen anderen Programmen, zwischen Illustrator und Indesign copy/paste verwendet werden (und von Indesign zu Illustrator) ?
    Ich will nicht zig mal herumprobieren welche Voreinstellungen jetzt die richtigen sind damit ein Teil des Kopierten ankommt und der Rest nicht oder wieder ein PDF eingefügt wird ohne dass ich weiter am Text arbeiten kann.

    Und wieso stürzt das neue Indesing so oft ab bei copy/paste?

20. Mp4 export – create animated posts for social media directly in Indesign

    In Indesign hat man alles um sinnvoll layouten zu können und sogar die Möglichkeit einfache Animationen einzubauen. Wieso wird der professionelle Workflow nicht verbessert und ein Mp4 Export direkt in Indesign integriert?
    Wieso soll ich auf Adobe Express oder Canva ausweichen oder Dritthersteller Workaround-Plugins verwenden, um einfache animierte Social Media Posts zu erstelllen. Animate und After Effects sind viel zu kompliziert um z.B. ein Balkendiagramm schnell zu animieren. Indesign kann es ja bereits nur der Export fehlt.
