1. Disconnected from Share for Review link

   I'm unable to

   a) open the share for review link in Chrome (I get a Disconnected error) and
   b) I can't see any annotations (pins, highlights, and contextual markers) via InDesign review window. I can only see the comments attached to each spread

   AI tells me that: My Share for Review link is no longer synced to Adobe’s cloud review servers.

   Going to adobe.com/files (Creative Cloud > Home > Your Files) = also gives me a disconnected error.

   Going to account.adobe.com (in Desktop) = also gives me a preload screen
   Yes, the show annotations option is on in InDesign.

   I'm guessing Adobe is currently ******** itself – or there's a bug with Share for Review or perhaps its just with my account?

2. InDesign window opening between two monitors

   In InDesign 2026 (v 21.51), I'm having troubles opening files by right-clicking on them in my Microsoft File Explorer. I'll have InDesign running, but with the program window collapsed. Then when I try to right click an INDD file and select to open it with InDesign 2026, the program window pops up and opens the file, but the window is split between my two external monitors and the aspect ration is off. Then I end up having to shut InDesign down entirely to get it to revert back. This only happens so far when the program window is collapsed to my taskbar - but it's been happening for several months to no avail with prior updates.

3. [Data Merge] MacRoman special characters corrupted after updating data source in InDesign 21.5.1

   Product version: Adobe InDesign 21.5.1
   
   Operating system: macOS 26.5.2
   
   Last working version: Adobe InDesign 21.4.1

   Description:

   Since updating to InDesign 21.5/21.5.1, Data Merge incorrectly decodes special characters in legacy MacRoman tab-delimited TXT data sources.

   The same data sources and InDesign documents work correctly in InDesign 21.4.1. In InDesign 21.5.1, special characters such as German umlauts, ß and accented characters become corrupted when “Update Data Source” is used.

   Selecting the source with these import settings does not resolve the problem:

   • Delimiter: Tab
   • Encoding: ASCII
   • Platform: Macintosh

   Re-selecting the data source with the same options also does not reliably restore the characters.

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Create a tab-delimited TXT data source encoded as Western Mac OS Roman/MacRoman.
   2. Include values containing characters such as ä, ö, ü, Ä, Ö, Ü, ß and é.
   3. Connect the file through the Data Merge panel.
   4. Modify the data source without changing its encoding.
   5. Choose “Update Data Source” in InDesign 21.5.1.
   6. Check the merged-data preview.

   Expected result:

   The updated data is read using the original MacRoman import settings, and all special characters remain unchanged.

   Actual result:

   After updating the data source, special characters are decoded incorrectly and appear as unrelated characters.

   Regression:

   The identical documents and data sources work correctly in InDesign 21.4.1 on the same Mac. Rolling back from 21.5.1 to 21.4.1 resolves the problem immediately.

   This may be related to the new UTF-8 and multiline Data Merge implementation introduced in InDesign 21.5. Please ensure that updating a data source continues to respect legacy encoding and platform settings.

   Product version: Adobe InDesign 21.5.1
   
   Operating system: macOS 26.5.2
   
   Last working version: Adobe InDesign 21.4.1

5. collapsed palette panels on the right side don't open

   Collapsed palette panels on the right side don't always open when clicked on, it may work for a while but then stops until I reset my workspace, then it works for a while and then stops again. Clicking icons (sometimes) does not open the palette panels. Resetting the workspace fixes it. We are using Windows 11 Pro. Coworkers have the same issues.

7. Incorrect PDF Tagging for Tables Split Across Pages with Repeated Header Rows

   When exporting a tagged PDF from InDesign, tables that span multiple pages and use repeated header rows are tagged incorrectly.

   Instead of generating a single table structure, the exported PDF creates repeated <THead> and <TBody> elements within the same table:

   <Table>
   ├─ <THead>
   ├─ <TBody>
   ├─ <THead>
   └─ <TBody>

   This results in an invalid or semantically incorrect table structure for PDF accessibility.

   Expected Behavior:

   Option 1 (structurally correct, though not ideal semantically):
   Each table continuation on a new page should be exported as a separate table:

   <Table>
   ├─ <THead>
   └─ <TBody>
    
   <Table>
   ├─ <THead>
   └─ <TBody>

   Option 2 (preferred, semantically and structurally correct):
   The entire table should be exported as a single tagged table:

   <Table>
   ├─ <THead>
   └─ <TBody>

   In this case, the automatically repeated visual table header on subsequent pages should be marked as an Artifact and not be included as a second <THead> element in the tag structure.

   Impact:
   The current tagging can lead to accessibility issues, incorrect table semantics, and potential PDF/UA compliance problems for assistive technologies.

8. Adobe Fonts Font Family: Adobe Kannada (Bold Weight)

   Product: Adobe Fonts
   Font Family: Adobe Kannada (Bold Weight)
   Component: OpenType Ligature Rules / Complex Script Shaping
   Operating System / App: Adobe World-Ready Layout Engine (Photoshop / InDesign)

   Title: Broken OpenType Ligature Mapping for "cha ottu" (ಚ್ಚ) in Bold Weight

   Description:
   In the "Adobe Kannada" font family, complex text shaping for the ಚ (cha) ottu functions correctly in the Regular weight. However, when switched to the Bold weight, the OpenType ligature rules mapping is broken. Instead of rendering a bold cha ottu, it outputs a ಜ (ja) or ja ottu glyph.

   Steps to Replicate:
   1. Type a word requiring a cha ottu (e.g., ಚ್ಚ) using the Adobe World-Ready Layout in Photoshop or InDesign.
   2. Set the font weight to Regular (displays correctly).
   3. Change the font weight to Bold.

   Observed Result:
   The sub-script incorrectly transforms into a ja shape (ಜ) or ja ottu instead of maintaining the bolded cha ottu structure.

   Expected Result:
   The glyph should maintain a consistent cha ottu mapping across all weights, updating only the visual weight/thickness of the subscript.

   Additional Context:
   Filing this so that the Typekit cloud asset can be updated. This will ensure that the next time the font syncs across Creative Cloud, the ottu renders accurately for print and digital publishing.

10. UNDO doesn't work and/with cursor issue

    Several times a day, at random, my cursor suddenly gets stuck on a tool (while remaining usable). Then UNDO stops working. At that point I can save my document and close it, but I'm forced to quit InDesign via Task Manager and restart it for things to work again.

    I updated to version 21.5.1 yesterday, but the problem persists.

13. Box with gradient feather printing differently to a box with solid colour

    I have two boxes side-by-side, both the same process colour. When printing, the box with a gradient feather prints a different colour to the solid coloured box. It works on most colours, but if it's a lighter colour it prints incorrectly.
    If I 'Print as image' it works, but that doesn't solve the problem when sending to a commercial printer. This is happening on multiple printers, so not a printer issue. It's how InDesign is handling anything with transparency.

    The colour mix I'm using is C27 M11 Y17 K2

14. alt+scroll wheel messes with hotkeys because of sticky alt key

    Whenever I use the alt key with scroll to zoom, the top menu becomes underlined. That's a built in windows fetaure from the days before mice. The difficulty is, if I then press V for Selection, it instead opens the View menu. I have to be careful to hit escape after zooming this way, which is inconvenient.

15. indesign 21.5.1 / incopy 21.5.5 Spaltenbreiten in Tabellen

    mein Kunde und ich nutzen seit vielen Jahren den Incopy/Indesign-Austausch. Seit ein paar Tagen habe ich das Problem, dass sich die erste Spaltenbreite der vorhandenen Tabellen ändert, sobald die .icma-Datei in incopy geöffnet wird. Die Spaltenbreiten sind in Indesign fest definiert (erste Spalte 21,8 mm) - nach dem Öffnen in Incopy ist sie nur noch 14,111 mm breit. Manchmal (aber nicht immer) wird die falsche Spaltenbreite auch ins Indesign-Dokument übernommen, sobald die Aufgaben aktualisiert sind. Dadurch zerschießt sich unser komplettes Layout. Die Tabellen bestehen aus 4 Reihen und 3 Spalten, in der ersten Reihe sind die Spalten verbunden. Das Problem tritt in älteren Versionen nicht auf

16. Double-clicking one document in a Book can open every selected document and leave InDesign trapped in recovery

    InDesign version: 21.5.1 x64
    Operating system: Windows 11

    Steps to reproduce

    Open an InDesign Book containing many documents — in my case, approximately 80.
    Select all documents in the Book panel in order to export the complete book to PDF.
    After the export is finished, double-click one particular document in the Book panel because you want to open only that document.
    InDesign begins opening every document that remained selected after the PDF export.

    Expected result

    Double-clicking a particular document should open only the document that was double-clicked.

    If opening every selected document is considered intentional behaviour, InDesign should at least:

    warn the user that a large number of documents are about to be opened;
    ask for confirmation;
    provide a clear way to cancel the entire operation after it has started.

    Actual result

    InDesign starts opening every previously selected document without warning or confirmation. There is no practical way to cancel the overall operation.

    In my case, every document also displays a modal dialog asking whether the document’s hyphenation exceptions or the current user-dictionary settings should be used. However, this dialog is not a cancellation mechanism: both Yes and No continue opening the documents, and there is no Cancel button for the overall operation. The only apparent way to stop the process is to force-terminate InDesign.

    Paradoxically, without these dictionary-conflict dialogs, InDesign would silently open all approximately 80 documents without asking anything at all.

    Force-terminating InDesign can make the situation considerably worse. On the next launch, InDesign may attempt to recover or reopen the large number of documents that were open when the application was terminated. The application can therefore become trapped in another long and effectively uncontrollable sequence during startup. Restarting InDesign no longer provides an obvious way out.

    An experienced user may know that deleting or moving the contents of the InDesign Recovery folder can interrupt this cycle. An ordinary user cannot reasonably be expected to know where this hidden recovery data is stored or that it must be removed manually. From the user’s perspective, InDesign may appear permanently broken, leaving reinstallation as the only apparent remedy.

    The retained multiple selection is particularly easy to overlook because the row that was double-clicked is highlighted differently from the other selected rows. A user can therefore reasonably believe that the double-click applies only to that document.

    I use and pay for Adobe InDesign on behalf of the Szent Jeromos Katolikus Bibliatársulat (St Jerome Catholic Bible Society) for professional Bible publishing. This occurred immediately after successfully generating the complete PDF of a 1,504-page Bible. A professional publishing application should not allow one accidental double-click to launch an application-blocking operation involving approximately 80 documents, offer no usable cancellation mechanism, and then potentially prevent the application from starting normally after forced termination.

    InDesign version: 21.5.1 x64
    Operating system: Windows 11

    Steps to reproduce

    Open an InDesign Book containing many documents — in my case, approximately 80.
    Select all documents in the Book panel in order to export the complete book to PDF.
    After the export is finished, double-click one particular document in the Book panel because you want to open only that document.
    InDesign begins opening every document that remained selected after the PDF export.

17. Cursor flickering throughout InDesign 21.5.1 on macOS Tahoe

    Since updating InDesign from 21.5 to 21.5.1, the cursor flickers and repeatedly switches between different pointer shapes/icons while working in InDesign. This occurs throughout the application, including over text, tables, frames and the pasteboard.

    System:

    MacBook Pro (2021), Apple M1
    macOS Tahoe 26.5.2
    InDesign 21.5.1
    Apple Magic Mouse
    Normally using two external monitors (one HDMI, one USB-C)

    Troubleshooting performed:

    Restarted InDesign and macOS multiple times
    Reset InDesign preferences
    Disconnected both external monitors and tested using only the MacBook display — the flickering continued
    Tested Photoshop — no cursor flickering
    Tested InDesign 20.5.4 — no cursor flickering
    Reverted InDesign from 21.5.1 back to 21.5 — the cursor flickering stopped

    The problem therefore appears to have been introduced in InDesign 21.5.1. The same hardware, mouse and macOS configuration work normally with InDesign 21.5.

    Please investigate the cursor/UI rendering changes introduced in 21.5.1 on Apple Silicon Macs running macOS Tahoe.

18. InDesign 21.5 — kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss fails with error 29441 on Volumes network-mounted paths

    kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss returns error 29441 ("Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation") when placing image files located on SMB/WebDAV network volumes mounted under Volumes. The same file, same mount, and same plugin code succeed in InDesign 21.4.

    Steps to Reproduce
    1. Mount a network share via SMB/WebDAV so it appears as /Volumes/<servername>/
    2. Confirm the target image file exists on the mount (stat returns valid inode)
    3. From a plugin, call kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss with the file path pointing to the mounted volume
    4. Observe error 29441 after approximately 7 seconds (network I/O timeout)

    Expected Behavior
    Image is placed successfully, as it was in InDesign 21.4.

    Actual Behavior
    ProcessCommand(kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss) blocks for ~7 seconds then returns 29441. ErrorUtils::PMGetGlobalErrorString() returns:
    Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation.

    For log detail please check attachment.

19. 'Save As' doesn't clear the undo stack

    InDesign version: 21.5.1.73

    Saving a document using Save As should clear the undo stack, but InDesign stopped doing that. This is a problem because the over time, the undo stack increases a document's size enormously.

    To reproduce the problem:

    1. Open the attached document. It has three small text frames on page 1: one placed, two duplicates.
    2. Verify the document's undo stack: in the Edit menu you'll see Undo Duplicate. Press Ctrl+Z a few times and the frames are removed.
    3. Use Save As to save the document.

    Expected result: The undo stack should have been removed, Ctrl+Z should do nothing.

    Actual result: The undo stack is not deleted. Ctrl+Z does not remove the frames.

20. Adobe InDesign Freezes and Does Not Close

    Adobe InDesign frequently freezes while I am working. The application becomes completely unresponsive, and the mouse pointer changes to the blue spinning loading cursor. I cannot close the program normally and have to force it to close using Task Manager.

    This issue interrupts my work and may cause unsaved changes to be lost. Please investigate the cause and provide a solution.
