InDesign for macOS clearing Undo stack
- Adobe InDesign 2026 v21.2.0.30 for macOS
- Restart macOS, Open document in InDesign, and work with document normally.
- Undo should remain available, with a long history of undo steps while working on a document.
- During the course of working with the document at some point the history will clear and undo will become unavailable via keyboard shortcut, menu, or the panel.
This behavior is similar to the behavior described in ID-4274243 (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/50813147--id-4274243-indesign-clearing-undo-stack-frequent?linkId=100000398096855) but unlike that issue, this is affecting users on macOS and is present in v21.2.0.30.
Two users on our staff are affected, both are running macOS 26.3 on a 16" MacBook Pro w/ M1 Pro, connected to an Asus ProArt 4k monitor via USB-C.
