Still having this really annoying problem with the undos, a project that once took me about an hour to sort is now taking me multiple it's driving me crazy

The same issue. ID 21.0.2 x64, Windows 11

Also experiencing this exact issue.

I must report two critical issues we are experiencing with Adobe InDesign:

Undo (Ctrl+Z) is extremely limited, working only for about three actions before becoming unavailable.

Text randomly disappears after mouse clicks, without any clear or reproducible user action that should cause it.

Both issues started immediately after installing the latest version of InDesign.
Because of this, we uninstalled the updated version and reverted to InDesign 20.5.1, however the problems persist even on this version.

System information:

Operating System: Windows 11 Pro

RAM: 16 GB

Location: Italy

It is important to note that these issues affect the entire team, not just a single workstation or user, which strongly suggests a software-related problem rather than an isolated setup issue.

These bugs are significantly impacting our daily workflow and productivity.
We would appreciate guidance on how to resolve them or confirmation if these are known issues currently under investigation.

Thank you for your support.

Version: Adobe InDesign 21.1 (Windows)

Undo and History stops working after a few seconds and it is driving everyone insane. Reverting back to previous versions of InDesign does not help. The problem persists.

the undo issue is a weirdly inconsistent issue with my team. some people have the problem and others don't. but for those that do, it's really made their daily work significantly more difficult. this and the disappearing text have affected about half of our team. and considering how long it's been going on, this really needs to be a priority fix at this point.

I've followed steps in other community threads for possible solutions, like this one:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-undo-history-clears-itself-without-user-action/m-p/15654540/page/12#M646265

but it's clear that this is a software issue that needs to be fixed by adobe. This is a very difficult problem to work around, and I struggle to understand why this problem hasn't been fixed sooner.

Reverting to previous versions of InDesign should be THE solution for problems like this, only it doesn't seem to be fixing it this time. I'm hearing that InDesign 19.0 may be free of this issue, but I can only go back to version 20.0.

Like many people here, I'm a professional with deadlines. This directly impacts my ability to effectively complete my work. While I adore this software, it's incredibly frustrating to see this seemingly preventable problem happen at a company of this scale. Please either fix this issue or make older versions of InDesign available!

Same problem here, unable to do multiple undo (3 max) and the texte disappear sometimes...

Same problem!
I am unable to do multiple undos.

Fix???????

Absolutely ridiculous this issue is even occuring, and still isn't fixed. I constantly work on large projects, and to only be able to step back a few times in a program we pay a dear subscription for, is abysmal.

It is extremely difficult to work like this – urgently awaiting an update.

OMG, when will you release a fix? It's been an entire month dealing with this HUGE problem!

Hi, i'm having the same problem. It's very annoying because it makes my work much more difficult and I urgently need to be able to submit my work.

UNDO feature is bugged and doesn't work properly. Need it fixed asap as it's affecting daily workflow. It allows only 2-3 UNDOs and sometimes only one.

There are really two issues, from my standpoint:
Ctrl-Z is limited to three or so tries and mouse clicks cause disappearing text.
Neither problem shows up in my ID 2023 on same computer.
I am using InDesign 2025 20.5.1 x64
SYSTEM: DESKTOP Win 11 Home 24H2 - Up to date. Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900KF (3.20 GHz). Installed RAM: v16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)] Microsoft Defender. Malwarebytes Pro. BackBlaze on continuous backup (on demand backup does not make any difference)
When I use a mouse (any mouse---keyboard does not cause a problem) to click on a word or phrase to edit it, text disappears, and feels as if there is a momentary hanging. The Ctrl-Z works to bring the text back (but only for three tries in recovering edits) and it also reverts the edit I was trying to make.
I have to use SAVE AS frequently and that slows the problem of disappearing text but only briefly.
Sounds like Adobe is closing in on a possible solution. (Meanwhile, I am staying far, far away from ID 2026)

Just for your information:

My regular Dell desktop XPS8700 RAM configuration is 16GB.

This morning I added 1 extra 8GB stick (from a pair that was lost in the drawer, they used to give me Win10 blue screen errors in the past) summing up to 24GB.

And...

InDesign problems are GONE! Undo is working perfectly again! *No more disappearing history states!* Infine CTRL+Z is back!

So, it seems the problem is related somehow to the 16GB of RAM setups.

This is happening to me after the 2026 InDesign update. Sometimes I will change some text and can't even undo that more than two steps. I'm on a remote cloud computer so there's little I can do to improve RAM or anything so your extremely delayed solution better not involve anything with that.

Same here, waiting for update with solution

All our office PCs have 16 GB of RAM. After reading some comments below, we tried adding an 8 GB stick to one of them, and for now this seems to have solved the problem.

We're still waiting for a fix, though...
A forced system update is not an acceptable solution.

...and really annoying that you have to register and log in another place (this site) in order to state that this is super critical. Look at all the comments here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-undo-history-clears-itself-without-user-action/td-p/15631507
