Type Pipette
Type Pipette does not work. No specific steps necessary to reproduce. When using it tints the text in a random color instead of applying font styles such as size, leading and color. I am using a MacBook Pro, 2023 MacOS Tahoe 26.0.1, Indesign 21.3. Already tried to de- and re-install. Shut down computer and even deleting settings manually form Library. Then in worked for like a day and after stopped working again.

Export to Flat psd --- not flat
Export As..., option 'Flat image' does not result in an actual flat image. the result is a layer in Photoshop, instead of a Background / flat image.
Why is this important? Because in InDesign, only really flat grayscales can be given a color. Unfortunately, the result of the Ai export has to be flattened in Photoshop before it can be used to color it in InDesign.1 vote -
Can't edit page elements when updated from 2024 to 2026 versions of inDesign
My book that is roughly 200+ pages was created in 2023 and was editable in all versions until I got to 2026. My computer's processing power is not in question, but I can no longer edit elements that were created on previous versions. If I make new pics, text blocks, or anything, those are editable, but nothing else. If I try and revert the file, it warns me that I may LOSE my material if trying to go back.. This is unacceptable. In ever instance I don't want to open the file in the newest version and each time it…

Keep setting of PDF export when cancalling the export
Please make InDesign remember file name and other settings when user interrupts process of exporting PDF.
Typical scenario: you start exporting PDF, you select the right folder, file name. InDesign the displays warning, some files are missing. So I cancel the export, fix the links. Unfortunately the time I spend looking for right folder, setting the right file name is not respected, I have to start the whole process again. It is annoying if you have a complex structure of folders located on a server share.

Colour swatch in Effects panel previews as RGB instead of CMYK
My working document is CMYK. When I open my Effects panel to change a swatch colour in the Blending section, it previews the colour as RGB, not CMYK. When you click on the swatch to bring up the Effect Colour panel, the swatch shows as the CMYK breakdown. The initial Blending option panel is incorrectly previewing as RGB and the swatches do not correlate. This occurs on all colours and all FX.

Split Screen and Multi Window Screen Redraw Issues (diagonal slash)
I have the same error occurring on two machines (different Adobe accounts) - both fresh (a month old) installations of InDesign 2026 (V21.3)
Whenever viewing in Multi-Window (two documents side by side) or Split Screen (same document with two viewports side by side). Making minor edits often causes the top portion of one window or the other to go blank diagonally across the screen(see images). It gets filled in either white or the pasteboard color.
Scrolling up/down will correctly redraw content that comes into view, but whatever was already in the frame buffer stays and the blank area just scrolls…
