InDesign "Dynamic Spelling" is no good in Turkish
I've been using InDesign for like a decade. In all that time "Dynamic Spelling" function has always been terrible for Turkish language. It underlines some words which are correct in every way bu then again skips some words which are totally wrong. Besides, it makes horrible suggestions for underlined words.
Take a look at the screenshot, for example. The word "kuruyemiş" is a combined word which is written without a space. However, it not only underlines the word but also suggest a list of variations which are ALL WRONG.
It seems like all the misspelled versions of this word has…

Please add a “Left and Right Spacing” measurement to the “Underline” box. CC 2026 21.1
Please add a "Left and Right Spacing" measurement to the "Underline" box. There are issues with hyphens. With unhyphens, pressing the Enter key and spacebar takes a long time. The problem also occurs when making corrections to the text.

Highlighting or Changing Text
I’m experiencing an issue when highlighting text to delete it, changing the case, or switching fonts. The entire text, including the text above (on the same page), disappears. If I scroll up and then back down, I can make it reappear.

Preflight not showing all results
I have a custom profile set up for preflight checks and although 614 problems are reported, in 2 categories, I can only see about the first 100 of each category. For example, the color space issues are shown only up to page 15, while my document has 180 pages. I am using InDesign 21.0.2.

My InDesign is 'behaving'
My Indesign is "behaving." I don't know if some kind of AI has been installed, but it keeps trying to anticipate what I want it to do rather than doing what I want it to do. And it defaults to other functions when I use a different function (i.e. defaulting to text when I am using move to move a text box). Or it'll expand or contract a box when I select it to manipulate it. How do I make it stop? Or, at the very least, how do I turn off the AI?

fit spread in window
I want Fit Spread in Window to work, all the time, every time!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using version 21.0.1 on macOS 26.2. This defect has been around for a long time, and many people have complained about it. My office colleagues all have the same issue. It works today, and then not tomorrow. It works for 5 minutes in one file, and then suddenly stops working. A Page layout program should be able to display pages! I want to use Fit Spread in Window every single day, and I am so disappointed that this defect goes on and on and on…

PDF Kommentare und Share for Review angleichen
Ansich ist das ja eine gute Sache, aber warum unterscheiden sich die Kommentarfunktionen zu denen im Adobe Acrobat.
wenn ich PDF Kommentare aus einen PDF importiere, kann ich die per Mausklick übernehmen. Bei der überprüfen Funktion geht das nicht.
Bitte die Kommentarfunktionen aus Acrobat genau so auch im Share for Review übernehmen.-

Data merge icc
InDesign 21.0.2
During a data merge I exported to PDF and chose single pages. Associated PDF ICC profile is a v4, so I received this dialog 100 times -- 1 for each individual page. Probably not necessary.1 vote -

Object Menu, Arrange for Text blocks not working
InDesign version 21.0.2 x64
I have used Adobe InDesign since 1997 (first introduced to me at school while I was learning Quark), more full-time since 2002 (worked at a newspaper). I have always been able to use the Object menu to either move objects in front of or in back of others. This still seems to work in 2025 with actual objects, i.e., rectangles, ovals, etc. It no longer works as of today with text blocks. In my remote conversation with Manoj, the only workaround is to either type my text into a color block and reposition it, or perhaps…

Find/Change saved queries lose numeric precision for indent values
Version:
Adobe InDesign 21.0.2

Issue also observed in much earlier versions (since CS5.5).
Steps to reproduce:
Create a document with paragraph units set to millimeters.
Create a paragraph with a left indent of exactly 5 mm.
Open Find/Change.
In Find Text, set Left Indent to 5 mm by typing it manually.
Run Find – the paragraph is found.
Save this Find/Change query.
Reload the saved query.
Run Find again.
Expected result:
The saved query should find the same paragraphs as when the value is entered manually.
Actual result:
After reloading the saved query, the paragraph is not found.…4 votes -
pannels
sometimes panels like Links, Layer are not opening by command or clicking in Window menu, then I got a solution for this issue i.e. change the workspace to another and comeback to your old one, it will help you. But it'll be an issue for everyone else. So please solve this issue in next update.

When opening a new file, I cannot enter custom width and height numbers.
I'm using Windows 11, version 25H2, and InDesign version 21.0.2.
I find it very strange and inconvenient that, while I can enter custom width and height in Adobe Illustrator (version 30.0), I can't do so in InDesign.
My keyboard is working fine.1 vote -

I was finished with a project and after trying to download it, the app shut down and deleted all the work I had done in multiple projects. I hate you.
