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

Error en el Historial de Rehacer y Deshacer, esto me tiene estresado, cuando hago muchos pasos a los segundos se borra el historial automati o le das click y se borra el historial dejandote con 2 o 3 rehacer, no es memoria no es ran he hecho de todo y esto me ha creado un atraso enorme de tiempo porfavor ? o soy yo que estoy haciendo algo mal? recien hoy descargue el programa y ya anda con errores?

Liebes Adobe-Team!
Bitte kümmert euch um dieses Problem! Man kann so nicht arbeiten, das ist wie in den 80er-Jahren!

This is very frustrating for me as well! The most undos I can have right now is 5. Not acceptable as this is an imperative function of this software.

the latest update sucks! undo doesnt work, text disappears and indesign crashes for no reason

I have two PCs with Windows, and the one with 32GB of memory doesn’t have the problem, but the one with 16GB is having the problem.

It's already almost a month with this critical error!!! Any results for your investigation?

I am paying for Creative Cloud every month and this issue with only 1-3 undos is making my work much harder. I need this to be fixed as soon as possible!!!!!

It does seem to be a 16 GB RAM on Windows issue. I had this problem incessantly when my PC had 16 GB of RAM - really annoying. As soon as I increased the memory to 32 GB, the problem went away and undo functionality returned to normal. So I guess InDesign requires 32 GB RAM now.

This is somehow the most inconvenient bug I've experienced hahaha
