Resizing object with 'Auto-Fit' enabled now broken in 15.1
In version 15.0.3 and earlier, if you enabled the 'Auto-Fit' option and then resized an object by entering values in the Width or Height fields the content would resize along with the frame (as expected).
With 15.1 this no longer works. The frame resizes but the content doesn't. Only way for 'Auto-Fit' to behave as expected is to drag the frame handles.

Numpad bug with paragraph styles
Loading an old Indesign file (version 2016 or older) in the new Version Indesign CC2020 causes a new bug.
1.) I use Indesign CC 15.0.1 (2020)
2) Open an old file of Indesign with many defined paragraph styles (from 2016 or older) --> try to edit some texts use text cursor klick in a textbox and type a 1, a 3 or a 4 on the numpad.
3) I expect that the numbers 1, 3 or 4 to be typed.
4) The paragraph style changes to another style without any shortcut set in the file or the paragraph style.

[ Versions 14 and 15 ] Adjust Layout | Liquid Page Rule "Scale" is affecting the result
Hi together,
as it seems feature Adjust Layout is actually affected by Liquid Page Rule.Two identical pages will scale type differently if Liquid Page Rule is set to "Based on Master" on one page and "Scale" on the other page.
This seems to be a bug. Liquid Page Rule should not affect the result of Adjust Layout. Applied my test documents from my German InDesign 2020 15.0.2.310 on Windows 10:
200206-1-Wrong-Text-Size-with-LayoutAdjustment-INDD-2020.zipNOTE: I renamed the zip file to .zip.txt because this site will NOT allow to attach zip files.
Also see into this thread at Adobe InDesign Forum where…

Adjust Layout cuts off images
When using adjust layout, no matter what setting are used and even when images all have "auto-fit" checked, the adjust layout function cuts off many images instead of resizing them with the frame.

RotatedTable-BaseLineGrid-NOT-WORKING.PNG
( InDesign 2020 version 15.0.0.155 on Windows 10 ).
The custom baseline grid is not working at all if a table's text frame is rotated.
It is working with text outside a table if the frame is rotated.

JavaScript appliedMaster override causes textFrame to move on X axis
When overriding via JavaScript, the same elements (textFrames) move 0.75" to the right on the x axis!
This does not happen when overriding master elements on a page manually - everything works as expected i.e. the textFrames don't move.
I'm using InDesign 14.0.2 x64 on Windows 10.

Import incorrect frame size
When importing images into indesign I am experiencing a random bug on several different documents - when importing the image normally fits to the frame but in this bug it creates a random sized frame that is bigger than the image which stops me placing things the size I want them.

There's no way to save or load custom workspaces from a file.
I have three computers (two Windows and one Mac) that I work on. I've created a custom workspace and saved it, but there's no apparent way to save it to or load it from a drive. So copying the workspace to the other computers is a PITA that involves doing a Web search to find where InDesign squirrels the relevant file(s) away on each platform, finding it on one computer and copying it to a drive, and then dragging & dropping the file into the proper places on the other computers.
How is this considered a production-ready feature? What is…

grab transparent frames
Product: Adobe InDesign 21.4.1
Platform: macOSSince updating to InDesign 21.4.1, transparent text frames are no longer draggable from their empty interior.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new document.
Draw a text frame.
Set the stroke to any visible color and weight.
Set the fill to None.
Try to drag the text frame by clicking anywhere inside the empty area.
Expected result:
The text frame should be selectable and draggable from anywhere inside the frame, as in previous versions of InDesign.
Actual result:
Only the frame border is clickable/draggable. Clicking or dragging inside the transparent area does nothing.

Linked Illustrator Files Not Displaying Correctly in InDesign
We are experiencing an issue where Illustrator (.ai) files with linked assets are not displayed correctly when placed in InDesign.
InDesign does not properly render or recognize the linked content inside the Illustrator file, which affects preview and output accuracy. Currently, the only workaround is to embed all links in Illustrator before placing the file, which increases file size and slows down the workflow.
Please advise if there is a fix or recommended workflow for handling linked assets between Illustrator and InDesign.

Create Alternate Layout is buggy
I wanted to create one alternative Layout so that I can export my DIN A3 file also as DIN A4 sized file.
I created an alternate Layout as usual.
I expected having all 12 pages twice in 2 different Sizes, (one in A3 and one in A4)
What InDesign did was it created 4 different Alternate Layouts and distributed the 12 pages among the 4 layouts.
Meaning I have 2 Layout I did not create and I cannot move the pages back to the original layout.
Also it did not resize the design, styles and texts as usual, instead they…1 vote -
Change language
Hi
I have installed InDesign version 21.1 x64 for Windows with norwegian menus. I try to change menus from norwegian to english, but it does not work. I uninstalled InDesign and went to Creative Cloud Desktop -Apps. - Preferences - and changed the language to english and reinstalled InDesign. The menus are still in Norwegian. Why does that happen? Will you please give me an answer.

Hi All,
I am using Indesign 2025 and 2026; I would like to enable the "Adjust Layout" option in my documents through the Indesign scripting by using "AdjustLayoutPreferences" object properties as in InDesign ExtendScript API Model, but Indesign throwed error is "Eval Error (#55): "Object does not support the property or method 'adjustLayoutPreferences'".
below is my code:
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
try {
myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.enableLayoutAdjustment=true;
myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.allowGraphicsToResize=false;
myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.allowRulerGuidesToMove=false;
myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.ignoreObjectOrLayerLocks=true;
myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.ignoreRulerGuideAlignments=true;
myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.snapZone = 0;
} catch (error) {
myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAutoAdjustMargins=true;
myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAdjustLayout=true;
myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.allowLockedObjectsToAdjust=true;
myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAdjustLayout=true;
}Could someone please check and suggest, how to resolve this issue?

text box resizing causes document to shift in window
I have an issue now that has never come up before I updated to 20.5.1. When I try to resize a text box or image box, the document shifts down and the content box is shifted up. The video shows it better. I then discovered that if I create a new text box, delete it, then create another new text box and delete that one, the issue goes away. I closed and re-opened the document, and the issue was still gone. Have not had it happen enough to know if it will recur at a later time.
