  2. Highlighting text in a table does not highlight the corresponding text in the story editor

    CC2020

    When I highlight text in a table, I would expect the same text to appear highlighted in the story editor. Instead, the story editor jumps to the beginning of the document.

    Kind regards

  4. Library text frame auto-size error

    Product: Adobe InDesign
    Version: 20.2
    Platform: macOS
    Issue type: Bug
    Severity: Moderate
    Reproducible: Always

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create a text frame with a single character (e.g. “X”).
    2. Enable Auto-Size (Height only).
    3. Save the text frame to the Library.
    4. Place the frame into a layout from the Library.

    Expected result:
    Text frame should retain Auto-Size setting and adjust to the content’s height.

    Actual result:
    Auto-Size is disabled, and the frame stretches from the insertion point to the bottom of the text frame area / margin, even though there’s only one character inside.

    Workaround:
    If the text frame…

  5. [ID-4257733]The amount of “Indent to Here” in a paragraph with a “Text Wrap” object at the beginning of the line is wider than usual.

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign Windows CC2023-2024
    2. Steps to reproduce the issues Place an object with "Text Wrap" at the beginning of the line and insert "Indent to Here" in the paragraph.
    3. Expected result Wrap at "Indent to Here"
    4. Actual result A gap is created where the "Text Wrap" is added to the wrap of "Indent to Here".

    I suspect that the issue mentioned in the post below may be related to it being fixed in 2023 (18.0).

  6. Thaana text properly composed in 14.0.3 messed after converting to 15.0

    Weird changes in the text after converting file to 15.0. (Upon opening a file with Thaana text) see attached images.

    Diacritics completely messed up AFTER recomposing (change alignment or reapply World-Ready composer) See attached images.

    Cannot use double/triple-clicking to select text composed in the new composer. (can select paragraphs already composed in the previous version, if no changes are made to that paragraph.)

    To see it in a new document: create a new document, copy and paste Thaana text (ex: Dhivehi Wikipedia), apply World-Ready composer.

  7. Pasting Word tracked changes text keeps the old text as well as changes

    When 'Text Only' is selected in Preferences/Clipboard Handling, pasting from a Word doc that has tracked changes results in the old edits (such as deletions) being retained in the pasted text in InDesign.

    If this isn't a bug, perhaps there's a way to make these ramifications more obvious to the user.

  8. InDesign 2020: crashing, undo doesn't work, missing fonts, text wrap is broken, so many bugs

    The Undo bug is back. I tried to undo some text (in a table) and it reverted the document back to the previous save and then crashed.

    On re-opening, ID complains that it can't find my installed fonts that I used in the document. They show up in the document, it just complains that they are not there. These are fonts that I bought and installed, so I know they are available.

    I have also been having problems with text wrap not working half the time. I set a box (I've tried both image and text boxes) to text wrap…

    Resolved For User  ·  amaarora responded

    As per the customer, the issue got resolved by uninstall and re installation of InDesign 2020.

  9. Can't type letter "n" in text boxes

    For some reason I can't type the letter "n" in text boxes in indesign v 17.3 on Windows 10.

    In some text boxes, typing "n" does not generate the letter. In tables, typing "n" can sometimes change the cell style or paragraph style, and does not generate the letter.

    I don't have caps lock or a stuck control / alt key ... Everything else is working fine.

  10. Smart Text Reflow next page - Add Pages Automatically

    The Smart Text Reflow to the next page is not performed if there is an empty text frame on the page. Please use the sample file and perform the following steps:
    - Assign ParagraphStyles 3 to the "paragraph 3" -> Paragraphs 3 and four go into the overset (undo action)
    - Delete the text “paragraph 4,” not the text frame, assign ParagraphStyles 3 -> Paragraph three goes into the next page (undo action)

  11. Import Word file - cannot set 'Import as Static Text' as Default Preset

    When I import a Word document I want the option 'Import as Static Text' ticked all the time.

    The problem is that if I tick 'Import as Static Text' and make it a new Default Preset, InDesign remembers this until I quit InDesign and then relaunch it. The relaunched InDesign doesn't remember it - it remembers the Preset name, but it doesn't remember to tick 'Import as Static Text'.

    This happens in CC2019 and CC2020. Could you please fix it so that the Preset you make remembers to keep 'Import as Static Text' ticked all the…

  12. Message about pasting text with endnotes shows up one paste later

    Pasting text with endnote(s) does not show a message. You instead get that message the next time you paste an object, even if that object is not a text box containing endnote(s).

    There is also a grammar error in the message, where the word "and" should be ", which" — and there is no period at the end of the sentence.

    This has been in the last few versions of InDesign. I am using 15.0.1 now.

    Reproduce:
    - Copy text with endnote(s) to the clipboard
    - Paste text into a new thread
    - Text pastes properly; a new page is…

  13. InDesign CC2019 - faux bold text issue when exporting pdf.

    Only the pages with text+jpg are exported properly.
    The pages with any other image type with some transparency, i.e. psd, ai, even png, have bold text after exporting to pdf.

    It's an old issue, coming back every now and then in many InDesign editions in the past. So we all should know how to deal with it, shouldn't we? Well, here is the rub. The trick with the text placed on a separate layer on the top doesn't work anymore. Nothing works, actually. It's a major bug. A reason to downgrade to the last correct version. I needed to…

  14. "Suppress Text Wrap When Layer Is Hidden" not working

    InDesign CC most current version 18.5
    1. Add text frame
    2. Add overlapping object
    3. Add text wrap to object
    4. Set layer option to "Suppress Text Wrap When Layer Is Hidden"
    - Expect that text wrap will be suppressed when I hide the object layer that has text wrap applied
    - Text wrap is still applied when the object layer is hidden, whether applying the layer option first or last, creating a new document and starting over, or trying each text wrap option

  15. Text Anchors For Hyperlinking Keep Changing To Different Anchors

    After manually changing every single text anchor back to the proper destination and saving, the text anchors have now changed to different locations or have been removed completely. This is a huge bug that has caused me to waste a week of time.

  17. Text to Image (Beta) pop-up comes up CONSTANTLY

    This won't go away. He keeps popping up and then dominates the mouse/command prompts. The 'got it" button is hidden below the my icon dock and it disappears before I can hit it and if I do hit it, it keeps popping up anyways.

  18. Copying text frames results in pasted PDF

    Copying text frames from older versions of InDesign (example 2022 to 2025 – v.20.1) results in a pdf frame, meaning the text is uneditable. The only workaround I have discovered is to copy the text itself, paste it into the new document, and reformat the frame. I believe the discussion posted here - https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-locking-text-frames-with-old-id-files/m-p/15147987 – is referring to the same issue.

  20. Scroll bar disappears in Pages panel, swatches panel,Layers panel and background task panel loses its boxes on the right.

    2017.1 Release, 12.1.0.56 x64 build

    The pages panel loses its scroll bar and doesn't display all pages. Panel needs to be opened wide to display anything. This cuts off easy access to document's later pages.
