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-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.

4. [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.

5. [ID-4265787]InDesign 20.4.0 and above freezes when connected with Enterprise VPN

   Impossible to work with the latest version of InDesign 20.5. The screen freezes after a few second work. Only "end task" on Task manager is closing the program. (Working on PC under Windows 11 Enterprise)
   Only solution in the meantime is to switch to Version 19.5.5.

   Go to Keyboard Shortcuts, to View > GPU Preview toggle and delete the Default context shift-e shortcut (as it's already used in my set for Reveal in Bridge). Save, works fine for that session, forgets next restart.

7. [ID-4263189][CPU Mode][MAC]Selection of objects does not register immediately

   I am trying to use the new 2025 version of InDesign - but it is really unusable. Running latest version (20.3) on Macos (15.4). Mac Studio with M2 Max CPU and 32 GB memory.

   One major issue I am having is that when I select a text box, it will actually not select the box until I move the mouse again. I click the box and nothing happens. When I start moving the mouse - it suddenly gets selected. If I do not move the mouse - nothing is selected - until I move the mouse. This makes it impossible to use.

   I've seen some tip on Document Font folder or Contextual Task Bar or Magnet app - but none of those are relevant for me.

   InDesign 2024 version works fine and it does not have these issues.

   I did a test on my Macbook Pro (Apple Silicon) - and no issue there - even using the same mouse as on the Mac Studio.

   I see some posts that Adobe has fixed InDesign with latest update - but that is definitely not correct...

   I uploaded a video to YouTube showing the issue. In the video one can see the pointer icon changing to the selection symbol when I actually click, but as you can see, the text box is not actually selected until I move the pointer.

   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erPZA0_w7gM

   Workaround:
   - Switch to GPU mode
   - Downgrade InDesign to v20.0.1.032

8. [ID-4262670][ERROR(RSC-005) in EPUB Checker]InDesign 20.3 creates target attributes to every link in EPUB

   The latest InDesign version (20.3) creates target="_blank" attributes to every link when exported as EPUB. Doesn't matter if the link contains URL or it's a link from a text anchor. The latest EPUB Check version (5.2.1) gives an error with every link that doesn't have href attribute which means every text anchor is invalid.

   For example:
   <h1 id="_idParaDest-1" class="Header-1"><a id="_idTextAnchor000" target="_blank"></a>Foreword</h1>

   In EPUB Check this is an error:
   ERROR(RSC-005): Error while parsing file: element "a" missing required attribute "href"

9. [ID-4260027] “Change Case” option does not refresh when opening saved search

   “Change Case” option does not refresh when opening saved search
   When a “Change Case” option is set on the GREP tab of the Find/Change dialog, it remains active until it is manually cleared or InDesign is restarted. This is a problem since it means that saved searches are producing unexpected results. Other options in the “change format” refresh as expected, so this appears to be a bug. It is especially problematic when running a chain of GREP searches because incorrect capitalization can result in numerous errors.

10. [ID-4260022][ExtendScript] Folder.prototype.create fails on macOS/InDesign 20.1

    Something has broken in ExtendScript's Folder.prototype.create method on MacOS and Indesign 20.1.

    To test yourself, save the following script to your disk, and run it in Indesign.

    
    (function () {
    
        var scriptFolder = File($.fileName).parent;
        var deepFolder = Folder(scriptFolder + '/A/B/C/D');
    
        if (!deepFolder.exists)
            deepFolder.create();
    
        if (deepFolder.exists) {
            alert('Folder created successfully.');
        }
        else {
            alert('Failed to create folder "' + deepFolder.fsName + '".');
        }
    
    })();
    
    

    Expected Result:
    Prior to this bug, this script would successfully create the folder and subfolders, in the same folder as the script is saved.

    Actual Result:
    Each time the script is run, it creates only one more level of sub folder. So the first time run it creates folder "A", then the next time run it creates "B" etc.

    See also this thread on the forum.

13. [ID-4255870] Document Fonts available even if not active

    Working on an indesign document that has its own “Document Fonts” folder that contains fonts specific to that document (not activated anywhere else), then switching to a new document that does not have any “Document Fonts” folder, the fonts of the previous document are still available, but if I close indesign completely and then reopen the new document the fonts are no longer available.

    This is not correct, fonts that are not activated or not present in the “Document Fonts” folder specific to that document, should not be available for other documents that do not reside in the same folder.

    The old version of indesign (19.5) didn't do this.

    Furthermore, if you export a PDF of a document that contains a non-activated font, but which is displayed correctly due to the above, in the generated PDF the font will be replaced by a system font (Minion Pro, Times, etc.)

14. [ID-4258070]Disappearing Punctuation Marks in Hebrew RTL Justified Text in Exported PDF

    Severity Level: Critical
    Impact: Severe disruption to Hebrew text layout workflow and document integrity

    Bug Description

    Punctuation marks are randomly disappearing in justified Hebrew text blocks (RTL direction), specifically at:
    - Paragraph endings
    - Forced line breaks
    - Last lines of justified paragraphs

    Technical Context

    • Text Direction: Right-to-Left (RTL)
    • Language: Hebrew
    • Text Alignment: Justified

    Affected Punctuation Marks

    • Periods (.)
    • Semicolons (;)
    • Commas (,)
    • Colons (:)

    Specific Behavior in RTL Context

    1. When Hebrew text is set to justified alignment, punctuation marks vanish:
       • At the end of paragraphs
       • Before forced line breaks
    2. Exception: Punctuation marks remain visible if the last line is explicitly right-aligned
    3. The issue appears to be specific to RTL text direction and does not occur in LTR text

    Known Workarounds and Their Limitations

    1. Legacy Composition Engine Option:

       • While switching to the legacy composition engine in preferences resolves this specific issue
       • We strongly advise against this solution due to:
         • Previously reported bugs and limitations in the legacy engine (see bug reports #ID-4245219)
         • Performance issues documented in our earlier reports
         • Compatibility concerns with newer features
       • We require a proper fix in the current composition engine rather than reverting to legacy solutions

    2. Temporary Layout Workaround:

       • Right-align the last line of affected paragraphs
       • This is not viable for production as it:
         • Affects layout consistency
         • Requires constant manual intervention
         • Disrupts automated workflows

    Technical Impact

    • Compromises Hebrew document accuracy
    • Requires constant manual checking and fixes
    • Disrupts automated workflows for Hebrew text processing
    • May lead to incorrect final output in published Hebrew materials

    Priority Level

    Immediate attention required as this bug:
    - Affects core Hebrew typography functionality
    - Creates significant quality control issues in RTL text layouts
    - Requires time-consuming manual verification
    - May result in incorrect published content

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Set paragraph direction to RTL
    2. Create a Hebrew text block with justified alignment
    3. Type a paragraph ending with any punctuation mark
    4. Add forced line breaks within the paragraph
    5. Observe the disappearance of punctuation marks at:
       • Paragraph endings
       • Before forced line breaks

    Technical Investigation Request

    Please investigate:
    - RTL text rendering engine behavior
    - Interaction between justified alignment and RTL text direction
    - Potential conflicts between Hebrew text processing and punctuation handling
    - Implementation of punctuation handling in the current composition engine

    Request

    Immediate investigation and hotfix needed in the current composition engine. While we acknowledge the existence of a legacy engine workaround, we require a proper fix in the current engine to maintain workflow efficiency and compatibility with modern features.

    Severity Level: Critical
    Impact: Severe disruption to Hebrew text layout workflow and document integrity

    Bug Description

    Punctuation marks are randomly disappearing in justified Hebrew text blocks (RTL direction), specifically at:
    - Paragraph endings
    - Forced line breaks
    - Last lines of justified paragraphs

    Technical Context

    • Text Direction: Right-to-Left (RTL)
    • Language: Hebrew
    • Text Alignment: Justified

    Affected Punctuation Marks

    • Periods (.)
    • Semicolons (;)
    • Commas (,)
    • Colons (:)

    Specific Behavior in RTL Context

    1. When Hebrew text is set to justified alignment, punctuation marks vanish:
       • At the end of paragraphs
       • Before forced line breaks
    2. Exception: Punctuation marks remain visible if the last line is… more

16. [ID-4257175]Pages Panel: Buttons are hidden behind page number text when window is thin

    When the pages panel is as thin as possible, the buttons such as delete page are behind the text that says the number of pages. It is therefore not possible to click on the buttons. I always use this panel in a thin band, and it is now less practical.

    Version: InDesign 20.0.0

17. [ID-4256670]InDesign crashes while navigating through Parent Pages in Pages Panel

    InDesign 20.0

    Click on the first parent page in the panel and use option + page down to navigate. When you reach a parent page that is not used in the document, you can go no further.

    Click the last parent in the panel and use option + page up to navigate. Either the selection jumps to the first parent page in the panel or InDesign crashes.

18. [ID-4256547] InDesign 2025 Won't Lock "Constrain Proportions"

    When creating a frame, rectangle, any object, or selecting any other object, InDesign 2025 will not keep Constrain Proportions locked when the lock icon is clicked on the control bar.

    The user now has to click it while they select each object and want to scale an object by scaling either the width or height.

    I didn't notice this at first, but found out from a Reddit post.

19. [ID-4256546]Bug when setting an even number as the start page number in a new document.

    Bug when setting an even number for the start page number when creating a new document

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign
       CC2025 (ver. 20.0) JP

    2. Steps to reproduce the issues
       Set any even number for the start page number on the Create New Document screen.

    3. Expected result
       An even page number will be displayed in Current Page Number as set.

    4. Actual resul
       The value set in the New Document screen will not be reflected, and “Current Page Number” will display “1”.

    As shown in the attached figure, when “Current Page Number” is inserted into a new document with the starting page number set to an even number, the document starts with “1”.
    (As long as the number set in the new document creation screen is an even number, any value will not be reflected and will become “1”).

    This phenomenon can be recovered by temporarily setting a different value in “Number & Section Option”.
    However, for users who are not aware of this behavior, it is sure to cause great confusion.
    It can also cause significant time loss in finding a solution.
    We have not been able to verify whether this bug is specific to the Japanese version, but we recognize that it is a very serious bug.
    We sincerely hope that the development team will fix it as soon as possible.

    <Japanese Comment>
    新規ドキュメント作成で開始ページ番号に偶数番号を設定すると発生する不具合

    InDesignのバージョン
    CC2025 (ver.20.0) JP

    問題の再現手順
    新規ドキュメント作成画面で、開始ページ番号に任意の偶数を設定する。

    予想される結果
    「現在のページ番号」に、設定通りの偶数ページ番号が表示される。

    実際の結果
    新規ドキュメント画面で設定した値は反映されず、「現在のページ番号」に「1」が表示される。

    添付画像のように、開始ページ番号を偶数番号に設定した新規ドキュメントに、「現在のページ番号」を挿入すると「1」から開始されます。
    （新規ドキュメント作成画面で設定した番号が偶数である限り、いかなる値であっても反映されず「1」となる）

    この現象は「ページ番号とセクションの設定」で、一時的に別の値を設定すれば回復します。
    しかしこの挙動を認識していないユーザーにとって、大きな混乱を招く原因となることは間違いありません。
    また、解決策を見つけるために大きな時間のロスを生む可能性があります。
    この不具合は日本語版固有の問題なのかは検証できていませんが、非常に深刻なバグであると認識しています。
    開発チームには早急に改善していただくよう切に希望します。

20. [ID-4257184]InDesign 2025(v20.0) Performance issues: Delay or beach balls on basic operations

    Problem: 

    InDesign Performance issues: Delay or beach balls observed on basic operations on Macintosh

    Steps to Reproduce:

    • We have reproduced one scenario in which the existence of the Documents Font Folder and Contextual Task bar results in some slowness.
    • Other workflows causing slowness are being investigated - No reliable reproducible steps

    Impacted workflows:

    • Switching to InDesign
    • Open/Closing of Document
    • Edit/Scroll/Copy-paste/Highlight operation on Text
    • Text disappears, illustrations disappear
    • Imported or added text turns black until a style is applied.
    • Font menu highlight not following my mouse movement
    • Text will not change fonts until I click the mouse inside or outside the text box.
    • Resize a document window, the corner flies below the screen border
    • Click or Drag of the mouse
    • Switching between tools
    • "Waiting for UXP plugins to finish up remaining tasks."

    Workaround:

    • Disable Contextual Task Bar or remove Documents Font Folder
    • Close the MAGNET application
    • Revert to InDesign 19.5, No performance lag is observed.
    • Restarting the machine and trashing the preferences seems to resolve the issue temporarily
    • Disabling any font manager software seems to resolve the issue. One customer confirmed that disabling "Rightfont" resolved the issue.
    • Uninstall-Reinstall seems to resolve the issue temporarily
    • Turn off Preflight seems to resolve the issue temporarily

    Note:

    1. The issue seems to be specific to the MAC platform only. Impacted macOS (Sequoia, Sonoma, Ventura(maybe), Monterey)
    2. The issue seems to be specific to the MAC devices
       • Apple MacBook Pro M1/M2/M3
       • Apple MacBook Air M1/M2/M3
       • Apple Max Studio M1/M2/M3
       • Apple Mac mini M1/i7 Intel
    3. The issue exists for both old and new documents

    Additional information needed:

    1. Are you opening the indd documents from the folder containing the Documents Font Folder?
    2. Is the "Contextual Task bar" shown? If yes, Disable it from "Window->Contextual Task bar"
    3. Screenshot of Memory usage while the issue is observed
    4. Please follow the below steps for InDesign 20.0.1.32 and InDesign PR 20.1.066 on Macintosh
       • Open Terminal in full-screen mode
       • Drag the InDesign application on the terminal (e.g. "/Applications/Adobe\ InDesign\ 2025/Adobe\ InDesign\ 2025.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ InDesign\ 2025")
       • Copy the logs when you start facing the slowness in a text(.txt) file. Share the file with us at sharewithID@adobe.com.
