2. History panel logs issues

   The history panel does not allow some actions to be undone. One is the act of stepping back several steps. As long as no new actions are done, you can step forward again, but as soon as you complete a new action, the inbetween steps disappear. The undo/redo history is also cleared; only new actions completed after that point can be undone. This is a problem because is makes it impossible to test various options and then quickly return to the original option, as I have often done in the past. Instead, the desired option must be set up again from scratch. (tested in v. 20.1, but also caused issues in older versions)

   • Actions logged appear to update/condense/disappear when switching to and from the Type tool. For example, if I create a text frame, enter some text, and then apply a stroke, the “Create text frame” option is no longer visible in the history panel, nor can it be undone with undo. If I create a 2nd text frame, all the previous steps for the first text frame disappear. Because “open” remains as the first action, it appears as if no other new actions were completed, but this is entirely false. Losing the ability to undo one’s actions is a serious hindrance. Undo history should not be cleared until the document is closed. I have also noticed there is sometimes a significant lag when switching to and from the text tool, and I suspect it has something to do with this. (tested in v. 20.1, did not notice before)

   • Many actions logged are too vague to identify, especially when multiple instances of the same action occur. It would be ideal if, instead of “Typing,” one would see “Typing 123…” Link updates could include a right click option to jump to the affected link. Alternately, selecting a step could select the affected text or object, or a page number could be made visible in the panel. It would also be helpful to save a thumbnail at certain points. (in all versions I have used, current version is 20.1)

3. Cannot move spreads

   InDesign has started glitching; not allowing me to shuffle pages, and whilst attempting to move objects – they jump un-aligned to the cursor.

   I have tried simply re-starting the machine, and I have uninstalled and re-installed the program, but the issue is persisting. Do you know if there is something else that I could attempt to try and fix the issue please?

4. Cannot drag objects in second monitor

   Ever since updating, I cannot drag objects with my mouse if I am displaying InDesign on my second monitor. On my laptop screen it's fine, but if I move the program to another display, I get the red "unable to move" circle. I checked my preferences, made sure all layers and objects were unlocked, restarted my computer, and still nothing was able to move if InDesign was being displayed in another monitor.

5. Error in cursor position when dragging items

   Hello, InDesign is not letting me move objects (or any items at all) correctly. As soon as I click and drag anything, the position drasticaly changes to about 50px upper-right. Beyond annoying, this is getting in the way of my work. Besides moving objects on the page, I can't drag and drop between layers, or reorder pages easily. It does not happen when selecting text or dragging to create new objects.

   Anyone know how to correct this? It started last week, out of the blue. I have read some similar issues on the forum, from Mac users, but I'm running on Windows 11, INDD version 19.5 x64. Have already restored the preferences, will try reinstalling the program.

6. Cursor not accurate when moving objects

   Cursor not accurate when moving objects. Clicking and dragging on an object to move it (text window or image) transports it away - to the left and down the page - from where I am trying to place it.

8. bug déplacement des objets dans In Design version 20.1

   Je ne peux plus déplacer aucun bloc avec la souris ou le trackpad., qu'ils soient graphic ou texte.

   Ni la fleche noir ni la fleche blanche, seulement avec les fleches du clavier

   J'ai désactivé le "contenu vérouiller ajustement" dans le menu fichier et j'ai réinitaliser les préférences In Design mais cela ne marche pas mieux pour autant.

   J'ai essayer dans Photoshop et je peux déplacer mes objets normalement

9. Crash/Error Reporting & (non)Solutions

   I have been using Adobe products since the beginning. After a crash, I have not ever once had the Error Report that 'searches for a solution or workaround' come back with any solution—working or not. Has anyone ever had a useful solution or workaround come back? Just me?? I am guessing it is still valuable to send the reports, although not sure about that either.

12. Literal ampersand (&) doesn't show in font's OpenType stylistic set menu

    Adobe InDesign version: 20.1

    Expected Results:
    1. Use a font in InDesign that contains an OpenType stylistic set option with a name containing an ampersand (&).
    2. Look for that stylistic set in Character > OpenType > Stylistic Sets.
    3. The ampersand should be visible in the name of the stylistic set.

    Actual Results:
    The ampersand does not appear in the stylistic set name.

13. Bug: Cannot cancel or requeue background tasks, ID keeps activating fonts for good

    Indesign 2024, Windows 10.
    Problem 1: even with Adobe Fonts being activated, ID 2024 starts to activate fonts it finds in \Fonts folder, doing that for good and the tasks cannot be canceled.
    Problem 2: other tasks, like PDF export, are then queued and cannot be processed at all unless you could move them up the queue, which doesn't work.

14. Adobe Fonts: Garamond Premier Pro 'Regular' is buggy, keeps disappearing in Indesign

    Hi there,

    Adobe Fonts is already fairly buggy and annoying, but InDesign also keeps losing added fonts. (InDesign 20.0.1 x64)

    In the drop down font list in InDesign, it splits fonts in the same Add Family into different groups, without giving the groups any kind of unique name so that you can tell which is which, and at the same time, it won't add both groups to the top recently-used section, such that you have to scroll down to find the missing group (and the font you just used), while having to then guess which group is the missing one. If you guess wrong, you're jumped back to the top and have to go scrolling again (or type in the font name, but the menu formatting becomes illegible then, in the sense that names are cut off and there's no longer any hierarchy, such that now you're squinting through a very long, cut-off menu, trying to find your font. It'd be helpful if the drop-down list still had some hierarchy while typing the font name, like it does when you're just scrolling through it)

    Even worse, it's having trouble finding certain added fonts, even though the whole Add Family was installed from Adobe Fonts.

    Garamond Premier Pro 'Regular' keeps disappearing in InDesign, even though the other fonts work. Medium is fine, it's the Regular that it's unhappy about. Perhaps should have been called Roman?

    (Garamond Premier gets split into a group of 22 fonts and a group of 11 Display fonts. So for example, the (22) group gets added to the recently-used fonts, but the (11) group does not, even though Display fonts are also being used. The 'Regular' font has gone pink repeatedly, even though Adobe Fonts thought it was installed. Tried removing and adding back, and InDesign has still been unable to find it)

    Thank you!

15. InDesign spacebar hand/zoom doesn't work when Brave browser is open on Mac

    I couldn't get the spacebar toggle to hand to work in InDesign - rebooted a few times and realized that it works fine as long as Brave browser is not open. Adobe updated a few days ago, and up until now it was working fine with the browser open. Any chance of a fix?

17. Text Variables using Running Headers don't show up in Table Header Rows when table is threaded across multiple pages

    I have a table running across multiple pages. In the Header row I want to have a Text Variable using Running Header to pull the text using a particular paragraph style. The text variable doesn't show up. If I unthread the table so it's just a single frame, it appears.

    My workaround is to unthread to one frame, convert the text variable to text, then rethread. It works if I do this at the end, but defeats the purpose of using them if customer wants last minute edits.
