3. Duden-Hyphenation changes the language in preferences

   After setting Duden hyphenation in Preferences, the next time the menu is opened, it will change to "1996 Alte Rechtschreibung" instead of "2006 Neue Rechtschreibung". (only on WIN-machines?!?)

4. Pages/spread overlapping after changing page size

   InDesign 2018 CC 13.0.1

   Pages and spreads are doing weird things when I resize my document. It creates some odd margin after resize of pages. I start out with 2 pages, document shuffling allowed, facing pages turned off.

   Pagespread01112617 - shows the page spread I was working with; each page is 10”x12.25”.
   Pagespread02112617 - after I changed the size to 10.68”x11.239” for another ad spread, a weird margin showed up. The content boxes show how there is an odd overlap; each box is 10.68" wide.
   Pagespread03_112617 - If I move page 2 down in the Pages panel, and realign it with page 1, the margin disappears.

5. Unable to add Paragraph Styles to Creative Cloud Library, InDesign 2018

   Not sure how you can reproduce this as I haven't found anybody else with this problem, but hopefully you can figure out how to help me. I cannot add paragraph styles to the Library, and I have tried every way:"+" button on the panel with text selected, cloud button on the styles panel, dragging from the panel... nothing works. Everything else--including character styles--can be added normally.

   The issue is due to the Kerning being set as None, if one sets it as Optical or Metrics, it solves the issue. The issue is currently under review.

6. Numbered list gets corrupted when saved and opened as idml

   Version: Indesign CC 13.0 x64 Windows (and Indesign CC 2017)

   1. Create 2 paragraphstyles
   2. For ParagraphStyle 1 set bullets and numbering To List Type 'Numbers' and name it 'Multiple Choice' (or something else) and Level 1
   3. For ParagraphStyle 2 base it on ParagraphStyle 1 and change the text color
   4. Create some paragraphs with different combinations of these styles.
   5. Save as idml
   6. Open the idml
   7. Look at the paragraphs of the second paragraphstyle, you will notice that paragraphStyle 2 has a numbering of his own and no longer the mix with paragraphstyle 1.

   Expected result: Same as before the save to idml. A list with a. b. c. d. e.
   Actual result: list looks wrong like a. a. b. b. c.

   It only happens when the second paragraphstyle is based on the first style. But working with styles that are not based on eachother is going back in time.

   Attached you will find the correct indd that you can save as idml and see the result.
   Also I added 2 screenshots, 1 correct, 1 wrong after idml.

7. [ID-4261684] Hang when "How likely are you to recommend INDESIGN" dialog appears at startup

   Twice now, I have started InDesign, opened a book, opened a file from the book, and pressed command-F to open the Find dialog. The Find dialog opens, and I begin to type. Then, the "How likely are you to recommend INDESIGN" dialog appears over it, and the cursor (and my typing) goes to that dialog instead. The spinning beach-ball appears, and InDesign is unresponsive; to recover, I have to force-quit the application.

8. [ID-3806494] Text Wrap Woes: v20.2 Update Fails to Resolve Text Wrapped Object Error Spacing Issue in Adobe InDesign

   This is a follow-up on the original bug report [ID-4257733], which addresses the issue of the "Text Wrapped Object" spacing error. The problem remains unresolved in Adobe InDesign version 2025 v20.2. Please find attached a PNG image illustrating the persisting issue

   Version of Adobe InDesign: 2025 v20.2, Mac OS 15.3.1

   Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

   1. Insert an image or free-flowing table into the text.
   2. Anchor the image or table in-line or custom to maintain spatial proximity with other images on the same page and ensure it remains adjacent to specific text .

   Expected Result: The ability to freely move or reposition the table/image anywhere on the page within the text, without overlaying or obscuring the text. This is particularly important for maintaining the relevancy and visual flow of the content.

   Actual Result: The "text wrap" spacing option fails to work for the text above the table/image, and the spacing is inconsistent—it does not work for the text above the table/image but functions correctly for the text below.

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-4259937][Document Specific] InDesign and InDesign Server go into infinite recompose

    The attached IDML file is a minimized test case for an infinite recompose loop. To start the loop, open the document in an InDesign client and select the gray text frame and turn off its text wrap property. To stop the loop, select Undo or close the document.

    The test case is taken from a real-world IDS incident where this loop monopolized the IDS process for several minutes until our watchdog killed it.

    (Reproduced with Adobe Indesign CC 2025 v20.1.0.71 running on MacBook Pro M3 / macOS 15.2.)

13. object style override plus-sign when multiple elements selected

    Object style made. Works fine.
    Multiple items on page need same style. When applied to ONE item, styles menu looks "normal." When applied to multiple items, with items selected, the styles menu shows plus-sign after style name.
    All of "clear overrides" options tried. Does not fix. Cannot verify that use of style is correct if styles panel gives false feedback.
    In the past, earlier versions, I don't remember ever seeing this apparent conflict.

20. BUG: spell-checker not automatically applied after pasting text

    When pasting text into a new frame, the correct language (german 2006 in my case) for spellchecker is selected, but not applied to the new text. I need to select the the text and choose a different language for spell-check and then change back to the correct language, then it works.

    A pain in the a**, if you have to copy-n-paste many snippets from different documents to single frames.
