  2. Text boxes with rounded or beveled edges should have square (or controllable padding edges)

    I want to add text to a text frame with beveled edges without have to worry about the text being pushed by the bevel. Can we fix this?

  3. Linked images are not loading after Mac OS upgrade to Tahoe 26.2

    Linked images are coming up distorted/warped after upgrading my Mac's OS to Tahoe 26.2. Can be corrected by manually relinking all the images, but what a pain. Screenshot example included.

  4. Have more Title Case formatting options

    Please add more Title Case formatting options like AMA AP APA, Bluebook, Chicago, MLA;etc.
    The default one people often have to edit, making words like "of", "and";etc not start with a capital letter

  5. Have ALL Case Options under Paragraph Styles

    The text case options in the top menu should also be in paragraph styles, but instead we have limit options in paragraph styles.
    If I want Title Case for a paragraph style, there should be an option for it

  6. CC Libraries freeze when closing and opening InDesign again

    The CC Libraries windows works fine, until you close the project & the InDesign app with the red X in the left top corner. (MacOS) It doesn't fully close and that is okay. But when you try to open any project again or create a new one, the CC Libraries freeze. You can still take out things from the window, but cannot scroll. The only option to fix that is to restart the whole app.

    Version of Adobe InDesign: 21.1

    Steps to reproduce the issues:
    1. Create new file
    2. Use CC Libraries
    3. Close the window with red X…

  9. Please add a “Left and Right Spacing” measurement to the “Underline” box. CC 2026 21.1

    Please add a "Left and Right Spacing" measurement to the "Underline" box. There are issues with hyphens. With unhyphens, pressing the Enter key and spacebar takes a long time. The problem also occurs when making corrections to the text.

  11. Object Menu, Arrange for Text blocks not working

    InDesign version 21.0.2 x64

    I have used Adobe InDesign since 1997 (first introduced to me at school while I was learning Quark), more full-time since 2002 (worked at a newspaper). I have always been able to use the Object menu to either move objects in front of or in back of others. This still seems to work in 2025 with actual objects, i.e., rectangles, ovals, etc. It no longer works as of today with text blocks. In my remote conversation with Manoj, the only workaround is to either type my text into a color block and reposition it, or perhaps…

  15. incorrect shadow from a group of objects

    If you add a shadow to a group consisting of several graphic objects and at least one text object, the shadow behaves unpredictably when you move the group. Despite the values ​​set in the corresponding settings window, it may change direction, density, blur distance, etc.

  16. resizing

    I'm unfortunately using InDesign 2026.0.2. One of my coworkers had the brilliant idea to update on day 1 ...
    I'm on Apple Silicon M1, with 2 monitors. Now, when I open up any document (I don't use application frame) it opens normal, as in any version before, size of 1 monitor, between upper task bar and macOS (26.1) dock. But as soon as you do anything, including opening a second file, the canvas expands way beyond the lower end and the right side of the monitor, making it impossible to work on the lower part of the last page of…

  17. Bug Report: “Find/Change” Story Option Not Appearing

    Hi Adobe Support Team,

    I would like to report a bug in Adobe InDesign. When using the Find/Change command, even though I select Story in the selection area, the Story option does not appear in the Find section.

    Currently, the only workaround I’ve found is to close and reopen InDesign, but the issue recurs every time. I can provide a screenshot to illustrate the problem if needed.

    Please let me know how I can assist in resolving this issue.

    Thank you.

  18. Drop Cap kerning and tweaking

    Can the team look at users being able to kern and make further edits to Drop Caps, to fit better with body text rather than having to manually paste in an anchored object to get it to look the way we want?

  19. share for review completely broken in ID and online

    Share for review is completely useless and does not work in the latest release on osX Tahoe. I can see the comments from clients listed in the panel, however they are not marked in the document and when clicked on them it does not show you where. So i have to open the comments in a browser (and its buggy even there!!!) and locate the reviews manuall.y. Also, when i update documents (also in AI), i always get a red popup saying that the file update has failed (although it does not fail and the changes are updated). Anyway, a…
