1. Change Format selection for "Change Case" disappears after altering Find Format

   Indesign 2025
   When searching for a style for which I want to perform a change case operation, it works fine. If I then want to change the style that I'm searching for, when I confirm that change and return to the main window of find/replace, the parameters for the "change format" window get wiped out...I believe this only happens with change case. I tested this by changing the case in the Basic formats to "all caps". I found that if I used any other parameter, or any other parameter in conjunction with the new "change case"...the "Change Format" parameters remained...but when only using the change case parameter, "Change Format" gets wiped out if you choose a different style or parameter in "Find Format".

   In short, the first time works. If you then try to change the Find Format selection, the Change Format selection for "Change Case" gets wiped out.

2. URGENT: Add an "Empty Output" Option for Text Variables

   Currently, InDesign text variables (e.g., Running Headers) always display the last non-empty value when the source is empty. While this behavior can be useful in some workflows, it causes major problems in others. In publishing and educational workflows, having an “empty” variable output display the previous value is unacceptable.

   We urgently need a way to explicitly tell InDesign: “If the source is empty, display nothing (truly empty).”

   Proposed Solutions:
   - Introduce a new special character (e.g., “Null Variable Marker”) that, when placed in the source text, forces the variable to render as empty.
   - Alternatively, provide an option in the variable definition: “Treat whitespace-only sources as empty.”

   This is an urgent request. It affects daily workflows in publishing, education, and large-scale editorial projects and needs to be prioritized.

3. Critical Request: Disable Mandatory “Save As New Document” Behavior in Latest InDesign Versions

   Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

   Since the introduction of the most recent InDesign update (version 19.x and onward), our team has experienced a disruptive new behavior: InDesign frequently requires us to save working documents under a new name, even when opening files that have not changed location, permissions, or ownership.

   This behavior appears arbitrary and is not user-configurable. It breaks a long-standing professional workflow and creates significant confusion due to the unnecessary proliferation of duplicate file versions. As a result, our team faces increased risk of:
   • Publishing or sending incorrect versions of documents to clients
   • Compromising file version control and internal quality checks
   • Reputation damage and even liability exposure due to avoidable errors

   We must emphasize that this behavior was not present in earlier versions of InDesign, and there has never been a need to “Save As” files repeatedly for the exact same document on the same workstation by the same user. While we understand that metadata integrity or compatibility might be the intended reason, Adobe must allow professionals to disable this mechanism.

   Please provide an option in Preferences that gives users control over whether InDesign enforces this “Save As New” behavior. This should be a user-side decision — not a forced system behavior.

   Until then, this issue undermines our ability to deliver reliable, efficient, and professional publishing services.

   Sincerely,

   Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

5. dialogs dont appear infront of main app window - appear behind it would seem

   The dialog boxes don't appear when expected, (I think they are behind the main viewing window of the app) until i do a 'mission control' on the trackpad and then release it - then the dialog box appears. It's not handy at all and I only found out by accident as the box can sometimes appear on the laptop screen and not the secondary bigger screen i use.

   indesign 20.4.1
   24th July 25

   happens when saving or adjusting, any time a dialog box should appear - including looking at the 'about indesign...' info!

6. Button Action 'Go back to previous VIEW' not working

   I use Adobe InDesign 20.3x64 2025 version

   I tried creating the interactive button in the Parent, in the normal pages, did all the troubleshoot tips I found, i.e. view the PDF file in Acrobat, ensured there is no special character in the file name, that I export correctly, deleted InDesign preferences.... I can't make the button work.

8. InDesign version 20.4.1: The Y coordinates for lines are the same with the top edge and the bottom.

   See attached video. I'm also having trouble updating Creative Cloud despite following every recommended fix, including repair. It won't let me delete it unless I also delete every Adobe product. VERY frustrating.

10. Feature request: Link text in body and footnote Please add a function to link a word or phrase in the main text to a word or phrase in a fo

    Dear Adobe InDesign team, I would like to request a new feature for Adobe InDesign: the ability to link a word or phrase in the main (body) text with a corresponding word or phrase in a footnote (or another text frame), so that if the main text moves to another page, the linked text in the footnote will also automatically move together. This feature is very important for professional publishing workflows, especially for complex academic, multilingual, and religious books. For example, in Islamic or scholarly works, it is critical that a term in the main text and its explanation in the footnote always stay together and do not end up on different pages. Currently, InDesign allows us to anchor objects (like images or frames) to text, but not to link text fragments in different frames or footnotes. Adding this feature

12. Restore Command + Resize and Command + Space Zoom Behavior in InDesign

    In recent versions of InDesign, two essential shortcuts have been broken or changed:

    Command + Drag on a frame no longer resizes the content inside the frame as it used to — or it behaves inconsistently.
    Command + Space no longer reliably brings up the zoom tool that allows click-dragging to zoom into a selected area.
    These shortcuts were core to efficient, professional workflows for years. Removing or altering them without an option to restore the original behavior is disruptive. Designers rely on muscle memory and speed — this feels like a step backward.

    Please restore the legacy behaviors or provide an option to re-enable them. These are not minor issues; they impact productivity and long-term users who’ve supported your platform for decades.

15. Bug: UXP plugin panels become unusable when pressing Alt+F4 on Windows

    InDesign 20.2 x64 on Windows 11

    Steps to reproduce:
    - Open any UXP based plugin panel on Windows OS (does not occur on Mac)
    - Click inside the panel to "focus" it
    - Press Alt+F4

    Expected result:
    - InDesign window/app is closed (Alt+F4 is the default Windows shortcut for closing a window)

    Actual result:
    - Plugin panel contents becomes blank.
    - Situation is unrecoverable in InDesign. Closing the panel and reopening it has no effect. InDesign restart is required.

    "Ironically" this issue also occurs for the built-in "Plugins" panel (likely also UXP based?)

16. quote mark position in RTL paragraph when Arabic and English text mixed and line break

    InDesign 20.2 (ME)

    In a paragraph where there is text contained within opening and closing quote marks and that text has a mixture of Arabic and English words, if that text happens to be at the end of a line and automatically flows to the next line then the positions of the quote marks reverses and are incorrect. If I force a line beak then it fixes itself, but it leaves me with text in one line that is shorter than it should be.

    This problem also appeared a few versions back, can't recall exactly when, a year or more I think, but then seemed to be resolved in a later update.

    PDF attached to show the problem (InDesign file can't be attached for some reason?)

17. recent files

    InDesign v20.2 x64

    Recent files is not working properly. I work on files stored on a network server. Recent files, both on home screen and file dropdown only show files that are stored locally on my computer. Files that I have recently accessed from the network don't show up. They show up briefly, but I think get forgotten when I disconnect from the network and reconnect. This is one of the main way's I open files because the network paths are long, and is a major inconvenience!

    Thanks,
    Olena

19. Skewed Images when opening saved file

    After I make an InDesign document, if I don't make a PDF copy before quitting out of InDesign, the entire document containing placed images and text is lost when I quit out of it. Having the PDF allows me to see what I had done in InDesign, but I can't of course update or alter the PDF.

    I tried tossing out the preferences (shift+control+opt+command (mac) while launching InDesign) and it didn't change anything, it's still giving me skewed images.

    Any idea why this is happening, and how to fix it? I don't even know what to call it. It's a rather new problem, and it's affecting even old InDesign Documents that were not having this issue when they were created.
