1. Puntero de mouse queda trabado con icono de reloj y permite trabajar a medias

   Apenas se abre el programa y selecciono una herramienta, el puntero queda trabado con ese icono, permite seleccionar menues pero no puedo hacer nada mas y es mucho peor cuando inserto una imagen, se crashea todo y es imposible tener un flujo de trabajo, no se soluciona incluso al reiniciar el programa. La unica forma de salir es a través de el finalizardor de tareas.
   No puedo deshacer ninguna accion y los menues que se abren estas en blanco.

2. Tables are causing a crash every time I attempt to split or merge a cell in a table.

   In Adobe InDesign 2026 (21.5.1) I am unable to work in tables. Any time I attempt to merge two cells or split a cell vertically or horizontally I experience a crash. I had to downgrade to 20.5.5 to get tables to work correctly. MacOS Tahoe Version 26.2.2.

3. Adobe InDesign Freezes and Does Not Close

   Adobe InDesign frequently freezes while I am working. The application becomes completely unresponsive, and the mouse pointer changes to the blue spinning loading cursor. I cannot close the program normally and have to force it to close using Task Manager.

   This issue interrupts my work and may cause unsaved changes to be lost. Please investigate the cause and provide a solution.

4. Issues with running GREP formula more than once

   InDesign Version: 21.4.1

   I am formatting an Author Index. Some of the authors in the book that I am working on come in with multiple authors per paragraph with the corresponding page number listed once at the end. I use GREP to separate the authors onto their own lines with the page number.

   GREP formula:
   Find: ^(.+?), (.+)\t(\d+)$
   Change To : $1\t$3\r$2\t$3

   The format I start with:
   Coby Morvinski, Yaniv Shani 1086

   The format I finish with:
   Coby Morvinski 1086
   Yaniv Shani 1086

   I have to run this formula multiple times so that it separates the larger groups (there can be up to 12 authors per paragraph). It does just fine for the first 3-4 times, and then will start causing InDesign to crash. The only fix I have found is to copy the authors out of InDesign, run the GREP formula through an outside app like Sublime Text and then copy it back into InDesign.

   Things that I have tried:
   -Computer Restart
   -Clearing preferences,
   -Saving the file as a .idml
   -Copying out a smaller portion of text into a new document and just running the GREP on that.
   -Working through the document by selecting “Change/Find” instead of “Change All”

   I can run a new GREP formula and it will work fine. It is only when I go back to re-running the formula that originally caused the crash that it will start crashing again. This is not the only GREP formula that I have trouble with when I try to run it multiple times.

5. Color Issue on Appearance Panel

   When trying to change the color on the appearance panel, there is an audible sound on my MacBook, like I can't select it.
   I have an example, a regular rectangle, I tried to change the color under the appearance panel and it makes that sound and it won't let me change the color. Ive deleted and reinstalled inDesign, cleared settings, restarted the computer, and the issue persists. I've also opened different files, and new files for testing it and it still does the same thing. I'm on the lates version 21.4.1, not on a beta of macOS either.

7. InDesign Save, Save As and Close become disabled on macOS 27 beta while document remains modified; false background-task lock and data-loss

   Product information

   • Product: Adobe InDesign
   • Primary affected version: InDesign 2026 21.4.1
   • Other affected versions: [add versions tested]
   • Operating system: macOS 27 beta [exact version/build]
   • Platform: Apple silicon
   • Severity: Critical / potential data loss
   • Reproducibility: Frequent but intermittent

   Report text

   Problem description

   InDesign repeatedly enters a save-locked state during ordinary editing on the macOS 27 beta.

   After several successful saves, an open and modified .indd document suddenly can no longer be saved. The document tab continues to display the modified-document asterisk, but the following commands are disabled:

   • Save
   • Save As
   • Save a Copy
   • Revert

   Closing the document is also unavailable or unsuccessful.

   When quitting InDesign, the application reports:

   InDesign cannot quit because one or more tasks are running in the background.

   The Window → Utilities → Background Tasks panel is empty. There is no task to cancel, no progress indicator, and no visible alert explaining the failure.

   Waiting does not restore saving. InDesign must eventually be force-quit, creating a substantial risk of losing work.

   Expected behavior

   A modified document should permit Save or Save As.

   If a save or other background task is active, InDesign should:

   • Show it in the Background Tasks panel.
   • Complete it or return an actionable error.
   • Re-enable document commands after completion or failure.
   • Allow the user to cancel the operation where supported.
   • Never remain permanently locked with unsaved changes and no recovery path.

   Actual behavior

   • InDesign recognizes the document as modified.
   • All native save commands are disabled.
   • The Background Tasks panel is empty.
   • The application incorrectly claims that a background task prevents quitting.
   • No recovery occurs.
   • Force Quit is required.
   • The only consistently successful rescue method has been IDML export followed by reopening and resaving the document.
   • The failure later recurs.

   Steps to reproduce

   1. Run InDesign on macOS 27 beta.
   2. Open an ordinary .indd file.
   3. Make text or layout changes.
   4. Save normally.
   5. Continue editing and saving several times.
   6. At an unpredictable point, make another edit.
   7. Observe the asterisk in the document tab.
   8. Open the File menu.
   9. Observe that Save, Save As and Save a Copy are disabled.
   10. Attempt to quit InDesign.
   11. Observe the warning that background tasks are running.
   12. Open the Background Tasks panel.
   13. Observe that it is empty.

   Frequency and scope

   The failure occurs frequently and has been observed:

   • In multiple documents.
   • In multiple InDesign versions.
   • With documents belonging to an .indb Book.
   • With individual documents opened without relying on a cloud or network path.
   • After IDML reconstruction.
   • In relatively lightweight files.
   • Without third-party plug-ins.

   It may affect more than one open document during the same InDesign session.

   Troubleshooting performed

   The following have already been tested without resolving the issue:

   • Deleted/reset InDesign preferences.
   • Moved files to the local Desktop/internal SSD.
   • Disabled Preflight.
   • Confirmed the Background Tasks panel is empty.
   • Exported files to IDML and recreated .indd files.
   • Tested multiple InDesign files.
   • Tested multiple InDesign versions.
   • Confirmed no third-party plug-ins are installed.
   • Confirmed the documents are relatively light.
   • Tested outside cloud/network storage.

   Book-file context

   Several affected documents are components of an InDesign Book (.indb). However:

   • The component files are independent native .indd files.
   • The issue affects multiple files.
   • Rebuilding the component documents through IDML does not permanently resolve it.
   • The same behavior appears in more than one InDesign release.

   The .indb context may be a trigger, particularly if numbering, synchronization or other book operations invoke an internal asynchronous task, but the visible Background Tasks queue remains empty.

   Technical interpretation

   The UI state suggests that InDesign internally believes a save or asynchronous operation is still active:

   • The document dirty flag remains set.
   • Save commands are disabled.
   • Quit is blocked.
   • No task is exposed in Background Tasks.
   • No error is returned to the user.

   This could involve:

   • A leaked or unresolved background-task state.
   • A save-operation flag that is never cleared.
   • File coordination or atomic-save behavior under the macOS beta.
   • An AppKit menu-validation incompatibility.
   • A document/book synchronization callback that never completes.
   • A macOS 27 compatibility regression affecting several InDesign releases.

   Because it reproduces across InDesign versions on the same beta operating system, macOS is likely an important factor. Nevertheless, InDesign should fail safely and provide a recoverable error rather than disabling every save mechanism.

   Production impact

   This is a critical data-integrity problem.

   Users may unknowingly continue working while the application is already incapable of saving. There is no warning when the failure state begins. The problem becomes visible only when the user attempts a save or quit.

   Force Quit can discard all work since the last successful save. IDML export is only an emergency workaround and is not an acceptable replacement for reliable .indd saving.

   System details

   Requested action

   Please:

   1. Reproduce the issue using InDesign 21.4.1 on the current macOS 27 beta.
   2. Test both individual documents and documents included in an .indb.
   3. Investigate save-state flags and hidden background operations.
   4. Coordinate with Apple if the regression originates in macOS.
   5. Provide a workaround that restores native saving without restarting or rebuilding through IDML.
   6. Treat this as a high-priority data-loss issue.

9. Ctrl+D (replace photo) causes InDesign to get hung every time

   Using the simple Ctrl+D shortcut to replace a template photo causes my InDesign to get hung every single time. I have to use Task Manager to exit the program, losing all my previous work on the file. This is only ONE of MANY bugs that currently make InDesign unusable for me. Stop using AI code and fix this software!

10. Large Hourglass and frozen file:

    I used Gemini to generate an image using a separate device, then imported it to InDesign then Indesign reacted weird. The new Alt Text recognized the image was Gemini and there was a weird link icon and then an Alt Design icon and a 1" hourglass appeared and I could not do anything. Now my whole file is gone and wont open.

    Home Welcome Screen Blank After Update on all Apps
    After the recent set of updates, Indesign does not show the welcome screen. When i try to create a new document (CNTRL+N, File>New>Document) the app hangs and i have to restart the app. I am able to open existing files, but not create new ones. Worked around the problem by selecting "Use Legacy New Document Dialog", but i would like to get my home/Welcome screen back.

13. CC Library window appears distorted and stretched

    I noticed that the CC Library window is sometimes stretched or distorted up to a point where it's not readable. Especially when combined with other tools or re-arranged in own workspace this happens.

14. "Schrift wird hinzugefügt..." Adobe Font automatic updates crash the whole process while packing Data. ("Daten verpacken")

    Version 21.2

    While trying to pack up files /export the whole package indesign crashes and doesnt continue due to background activities:
    it tries to activate fonts i have already licensed via adobe fonts. the process is absolutely critical, while my customers are waiting for the data, there is time consuming workarounds I have to step through. Switching back and forth between deactivating and activating fonts, closing all my open files I am working at is a time consuming hustle. These errors ocurred in previous versions and I hoped they had been fixed. Unfortunately the hustle still occurs.

15. Freezing when working via network drive

    When working with a file directly from a shared network drive (or p: drive) Adobe InDesign will intermittently freeze/hang up and require a forced shutdown/task manager or a full computer restart.

    There is no crash log generated until the application is force closed so event viewer does not show anything relevant until after I've closed the program. There is nothing to suggest that there was a process running that caused the error (per event viewer logs).

    I can work on that same file when it's saved locally.

    I am currently on the latest version of Adobe InDesign, and I did not have issues with working on files off p: drive/network drive for many versions of InDesign until Adobe 2026 specifically 21.2+

17. Indesign 21.2 - font or some other background task is running but not shown in the upper task bar

    INdesign 21.2 - Windows 11 - some font or other background task runs in the background (nice swirling circle) and I can't change any fonts or adjust boxes or anything. The actual background task indicator is not even showing so I have to save file file and "crash out" indesign because it won't close otherwise (get the background task error) when I start it up again it's fine - extremely frustrating! Does this on BOTH of my computers. How can I stop this????

    for more than 7 years this problem is known to Adobe. Excel, Open source office suits etc. export CSV with BOM. it's against standard. one can import to textedit and save. Why is adobe not able to clean out that BOM?? I mean 25 years ago I was able to do a data merge. InDesign these days can not handle an excel exported CSV file. Really? Please guys. make the stuff work, that have worked 30 years ago. yes, shame on microsoft. shame on you both. users have to do a research to solve a problem, that has not existed 30 years ago because microsoft had the brilliant idea to once again add something to a standard and by that not sticking to the standard anymore. brilliant. thank you. Please fix microsoft's bug. I know, I ask for much. but it's not that big of a deal to fix that for you and make data merge in InDesign work without us users to need to use a 3rd tool to convert

20. Continuous issues with 21.1 on Windows 11 - Won't Open/Crashing

    Since updating to 21.1 (2026), I have to repair the Visual C++ Redistributables, restart, and then reset preferences with Shift+Ctrl+Alt just to get InDesign to open. Error OXC0000142. I have done this numerous times, and each week, I have to do it again.

    It also has crashed my (and others on our team) computers which makes them boot into the BIOS to a Support Repair screen.

    21.1 is near unusable at this point.
