Using Text Wrap causes InDesign to crash!
When I use the text wrap or copy/paste an object with text wrap applied, the program crashes.
I noticed this is only happening when I attempt to add them to a page that includes a table in it.

Copying multiple objects and switching documents causes InDesign to crash every single time.
Copying multiple objects and switching documents causes InDesign to crash every single time. Copying text from inside of a box or copying a single object doesn't seem to cause the crash to happen.

Index Entry Crash
Working in InDesign CC 2018. Revising a single chapter of 1300+ page book. InDesign CC 2018 crashes every time I try to create a new index entry. I've installed the BugFxes for Mac, deleted preferences, restarted machine, etc. Trying to create new index entry crashes each chapter even when working in each chapter individually. InDesign CC 2017 did not have this problem. Any assistance or suggestions are appreciated.

InDesign 2017 file on file server with High Sierra
We have Panzura file servers here and anytime we try to open an InDesign file with CC 2017 it completely crashes any mac that tries to open it, immediate kernel panic with both InDesign and Finder being the cause. So we tried to copy the files to the desktop and open them from there, no dice.
How on earth did Adobe not catch this bug? You guys had 3 months access at least to the dev prereleases like the rest of the software vendors, this is pretty unacceptable.

Data Merge causes crash/lock-up when displaying panels on second screen
When displaying my panels on a second monitor using InDesign and then trying to begin a data merge the application crashes and becomes unresponsive.
If I change the layout of the panels to one screen (the default layout) it works fine.
I've uninstalled InDesign and reinstalled, also deleting my preferences folders/files.
I can select the data source and insert one field, but then clicking on anything else after the first field has been inserted causes the application to stop responding.
I've attached a screenshot of the panels on the second screen for your reference - there are no panels on…

Persistent Cursor and Functionality Issues in Adobe InDesign After macOS Sequoia 15.1.1 Update
Description of the Issue:
I’m experiencing multiple issues with Adobe InDesign across different versions (including the latest and earlier releases) after updating to macOS Sequoia 15.1.1. These problems occur consistently across various files and significantly disrupt workflow.
Issues encountered:
Unable to apply colors from the swatch palette – clicking on a swatch does not work for either text or objects.
Styles (both text and object) cannot be applied by clicking; I must use right-click and "Apply Style" instead.
Frames on the page shift a few millimeters upon clicking, seemingly on their own.
Stroke color for objects cannot be selected or…2 votes -
Mouse click doesn't register properly
On MacOS IdDesign 20.0.1 and 19.5.1 improperly register mouse clicks.
As this misbehaviour started recently I suspect that some Apple patch broken something.
But I do not experience any issues in other applications! Everything seems to work normally but InDesign.If you click a frame, InD registers a click-and-hold while I just clicked it with trackpad and lifted the finder up (see video).
Second, if I put editing mark into the text and go to Paragraph style to apply it, the palette doesn’t register the click properly—it seems it registers a drag, not a click! I can only try to…

program freezes after Save As
InDesign v.19.4 freezes after Save As is used. The program is inaccessible and has to be force quit and restarted. It will reopen the document when it starts up again with no data lost. An annoyance, but at least no work is forfeited.

InDesign 2024 19.4 crashes if you apply a Style Pack to multiple selected unthreaded text frames. In previous versions this worked just fine
InDesign 2024 19.4 (Mac M2 Max chip, macOS Ventura 13.6.7) crashes if you apply a Style Pack to multiple selected unthreaded text frames. In previous versions this worked just fine.
2 votesThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2024(v19.5.0.084). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application and click on the context menu on the top right and click on Check for App Updates.

Version 19.4 Persistent error dialog "RM: error creating temporary record definition sheet"
On iOS 13.6.6. Problem began after updating to 19.4.
As soon as I create a new document or open an existing doc, the error dialog above appears, and reappears immediately when dismissed, preventing any further work.
Version 18.5.2 on same machine still functions as normal, but is not not an acceptable long term workaround due to lack of current plugins.
I've already tried deleting /Users/{me}/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version 19.0 folder. Folder was recreated at application launch, as expected, but did not resolve the error.

Text selecting freeses program
Today I updated InDesing to 19.4 It is no longer possible to work - every time you mark the text block, the clock starts spinning and everything hangs. ****, why publish an update without testing it well and thus hinder our work. I was forced to install version 19.3 back.

Apple M2 max GPU not detected

Crashes when changing font, copying text and saving as another file type
I have been tryin to open one of my 'old' Indesign files (2017). At the time I used Cross-References plugin DTP tools. I no longer use it. It keeps populating a notification that the plugin is missing, but it still opens the INDD document. I have tried saving the document—
1) as an IDML document and that does not work.
2) I have also tried saving as a new document but the issue remains the same.
3) I have tried copying the text from it to a new INDD document, it crashes every time and I have sent crash reports.…2 votes
