1. Text Frame Otpion

   Text hops around in text box from top to bottom when moving text frame. I have seen a lot people online having the same issue. Only work around, and it's just that a work around not a fix, every time you place text you have to go to Object>Text Frame Options>Baseline Option and click "Use Custom Baseline Grid". Doing this every single time I place text is getting rather tedious. Just encountered bug today, restarted both indesign and imac, the bug stayed. About to re-install indesign all together.

2. Shortcuts messed up after update to CC

   InDesign CC 12.1.0.56 (2017.1)
   MacOS Sierra 10.12.5

   (1) The default super- and subscript shortcuts (cmd+shift+= and ctrl+cmd+shift+=) do not work on mac num keyboard. Had to change shortcuts.
   (2) When using the default shortcut for italics (cmd+shift+I) the text is changed to "Heavy Italic" instead of "Italic" with the (legal) Avenir Next font family.

3. Locked objects get selected

   Not sure why adobe changed the lock of an item. It used to work perfect to lock my background objects. Now, it I have background objects; they still get selected even if they are locked; it's such a huge inconvenience and waste of time to sort selected objects. Please fix or put back the lock object.

   Please update InDesign to the latest version, InDesign CC 2018 (13.0) for the fix of the issue.

5. Change to gap tool made it useless for measurement

   PRior to the latest update I could use the gap tool to hover between items and see in a moment the distance between them. Now the text color is so pale I can barely see it when hovering. Probably not an intentional change.

   We have made improvements to the readability aspect in the Control panel fields when using the Gap Tool in InDesign CC 2018. You will see a marked change as compared to InDesign CC 2017.
   Closing this thread as we are no more hearing from users about this issue.

6. Running Header Removes ZWNJ (Zero-width non-joiner) Character (U+200C)

   I want to use Running Header to have the section name at the top of the pages.
   The section title has Zwnj character (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_non-joiner) but running header removes this character (U+200C).

7. InDesign interface has issues after exiting touch mode

   To replicate the bug, have at least two documents open.
   After using touch mode and then switching to normal (essentials), the status bar at the end of the current document (contains pages, etc.) will look a little rough. In the document that was not focused, the entire status bar background is missing. In addition, on that document the scrollbars disappear and flash while you scroll, which is a little disturbing for your eyes.

8. Indesign still incredibly LAGGY and SLOW! - But may be fixed in v20.0.1

   NOTE: I just downloaded the latest InDesign update V. 20.0.1 and it seems to be fixed. But I am leaving this rant here until it works correctly for like a week. LOL!
   .
   Previous Rant:
   How the heck can I get my work done when InDesign is sooo SLOW!
   I am on a production schedule and simply cannot believe how incredibly slow and laggy the program has become.

   I have an 18 page illustrated book layout that I am trying to add text to and it takes a full 4 - 6 seconds when I try to copy a line of text from MS word and then place it into ID. Also if I try to click and drag a copy of a text box within Indesign the response time is awful. Switching between the text and selection tools is also a 3 - 6 second lag. I have to be able to nudge things around quickly in my layout work. Waiting on a 3 second lag just to nudge text and center stuff is truly terrible.

   I am using v. 19.5.1 (Had to downgrade from v. 20.01 which is worse)
   It is the only program open except for Acrobat reader and MS Word. My computer is fine. it's the program.

   I pay monthly for these programs- it would be nice if they worked as expected.

   Please Please FIX the awful lag.

   So many of us use these programs to earn a living. .

   I have used Adobe Creative Suite and CC for over 30 years as a graphic designer and this is just ridiculous.

10. ID version: 20.0.1 & MacOS Sequoia: 15.1.1 horrendeously sluggish

    I recently had my 2019 Mac Pro go down, and IT ended up wiping and reinstalling everything, including updating my OS to Sequoia 15.1.1. After that, I updated Creative Cloud to InDesign 20.0.1—and wow, what a nightmare. It’s incredibly sluggish. Opening the app? Wait. Opening a file? Wait. Moving a window? Nothing happens at first, then a bit of movement, followed by the spinning beach ball... and more waiting. I tried merging a file, and what used to take seconds now feels like an eternity. Basic, insert type bar to type text, i have to wait, and wait. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

11. Alert is shown on opening documents in InDesign(v20.0.1) - "This file is already open by another user or another application."

    Yesterday I edited a file in Indesign V19.5.1. Now I can no longer open this and many of my previous design files. I get the error message: ‘This file is already open by another user or application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it.

    I have updated to V20.0.1 and reinstalled V19.0. Both did not help. This bug has been around for a long time in different versions and it occurs regularly.

14. Command-S shortcut activates DON'T SAVE

    Command-S shortcut activates DON'T SAVE

    InDesign 20.0
    MacOS 15.1
    Swedish language

    I noticed that Command-S activates the Don't Save button in the dialog shown in the image.

    1. Command-W to close the document
    2. The dialog shows Cancel, Don't Save and Save
    3. Command-S will activate the Don't Save button!

    I tried it on two Macs with the same setup.

    This is a serious bug and it's much worse than a crash.

    After a crash the changes will be kept by the crash restore feature. If someone use the Command-S shortcut in the scenario described here they will erase all changes with no way to get them back.

    Command-S will do a Save in the same dialog in Apples apps.

    Other users said this bug is not showing up with English language.

15. Indesign opens on wrong screen with multiple monitors (Mac OS)

    This issue has been going on for years now. I recently updated to inDesign 2025, but it's still not solved for me:

    Expected result: I've assigned InDesign to open on my external monitor, just like all my other Adobe apps.
    Actual result: It completely ignores this, and just opens on my Macbook screen. The window resize buttons will be hidden behind my menu bar, so I have to alt+drag the window to make the buttons appear again. Then I can drag inDesign to my external monitor.
    I've seen posts going back to 2019 about this issue

16. Document made in InDesign 2024 no longer loads in InDesign 2025

    InDesign 2025 (v20.0)

    is unable to open a document (a 400 page book in one single file) that I finished a few days before updating InDesign. It was made using version 19.5. I've tried several versions of the book: both the last work file and a finished packaged version on a separate drive. I have also tried opening an older version before the latest changes with no luck.

    There are no error messages. It just starts loading it and then after a while, doesn't anymore. The book doesn't appear in the Open Recent list either even after several attempts and restarts. This is on an iMac Pro 2017.

    Reverting to version 19.5 and the book opens just fine.

    Fortunately the book is already being printed. So I guess I won't get fired. :)

    Need More Info  ·  AdminPradeep Verma (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

    We would require more information for the same. Are you not able to open any InDesign document created from ID19.x version in ID20.0 or is it specifically happening with only a specific document?

17. ePub 2.0.1 export creates invalid ePub files

    InDesign creates incorrect ePub in latest version (19.5) when exporting reflowable ePub 2.0.1.

    This is the result of any ePub generated with InDesign from the Draft2Digital Epub validator:

    1. ERROR(RSC-005): /OEBPS/content.opf(2,105): Error while parsing file: attribute "xml:lang" not allowed here; expected attribute "id"

    The "xml-lang=" attribute should not be removed from the "package" tag, as it is not in the ePub 2.0.1 standard.

    1. ERROR(RSC-005): /OEBPS/cover.xhtml(8,38): Error while parsing file: element "figure" not allowed anywhere; expected element "address", "blockquote", "del", "div", "dl", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "hr", "ins", "noscript", "ns:svg", "ol", "p", "pre", "script", "table" or "ul" (with xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg")

    In previous versions of InDesign this was a "<div>". "<figure" is not part of the ePub 2.0.1. standard. This should be reverted to a "<div>"

    1. ERROR(RSC-005): /OEBPS/cover.xhtml(9,110): Error while parsing file: attribute "role" not allowed here; expected attribute "class", "dir", "height", "id", "ismap", "lang", "longdesc", "title", "usemap", "width" or "xml:lang"

    In previous versions of InDesign the "role=" tag was not present. It is also not part of the ePub 2.0.1. standard, so it should be removed.

    These bugs prevent upload of ePubs to all major platforms (CB in The Netherlands, Draft2Digital, IngramSpark, etc).
