InDesign in Windows ALWAYS forgets app size and position!
This has been a persistent pain for many YEARS. Everyone knows that an app should open to the last position and size. That's what the double-box icon is for in the upper right corner of the window border. Every single application in WIndows honors this "requirement" for Windows conformance.
InDesign forces Windows users to reposition and resize the program every single time it is opened. This becomes a tremendous nuisance, and in any other program would be considered incomplete and unprofessional. PLEASE, for all the users who don't know how to report this bug, and for those of us who have manually resized and repositioned the "always full screen" startup settings, IMPLEMENT THIS!
It's not hard, and all the other Adobe apps do it correctly. It makes the InDesign product manager look foolish.

stuck on type tool
I'm stuck on the Type tool. It won't let me select or change my tools at all. I've had to shut down and restart three times now. Whenever I get into the type tool, it stays and I can't get out or click anywhere else. Keyboard shortcuts do not work
21 votesHello All,
Thank you for your patience all this while.
We had launched our investigation into the matter to get to the root cause of the problem. As the part of our investigation, we had reached out to many of you personally over email.
We have concluded our investigation and have come up with few findings.1. For many of the users the issue got fixed after updating InDesign to a newer version.
2. For few, the issue was intermittent and is no longer reproducible.
4. For majority of the users, the underlying cause of the performance issue was identified to be related to switching between tools, or other lagsOver the time this thread has become too generic to serve its purpose effectively. As per your feedback and the outcome of our investigation we have created multiple threads to address each root cause separately and effectively.
If you are facing any slowness in InDesign or seeing any other performance issue, we request you vote for the relevant thread or create a new thread specifying the action/workflow which is slowing you down.
We seek your support in our continuous effort to improve InDesign.

[ID-4256546]Bug when setting an even number as the start page number in a new document.
Bug when setting an even number for the start page number when creating a new document
Version of Adobe InDesign
CC2025 (ver. 20.0) JPSteps to reproduce the issues
Set any even number for the start page number on the Create New Document screen.Expected result
An even page number will be displayed in Current Page Number as set.Actual resul
The value set in the New Document screen will not be reflected, and “Current Page Number” will display “1”.
As shown in the attached figure, when “Current Page Number” is inserted into a new document with the starting page number set to an even number, the document starts with “1”.
(As long as the number set in the new document creation screen is an even number, any value will not be reflected and will become “1”).This phenomenon can be recovered by temporarily setting a different value in “Number & Section Option”.
However, for users who are not aware of this behavior, it is sure to cause great confusion.
It can also cause significant time loss in finding a solution.
We have not been able to verify whether this bug is specific to the Japanese version, but we recognize that it is a very serious bug.
We sincerely hope that the development team will fix it as soon as possible.<Japanese Comment>
新規ドキュメント作成で開始ページ番号に偶数番号を設定すると発生する不具合InDesignのバージョン
CC2025 (ver.20.0) JP問題の再現手順
新規ドキュメント作成画面で、開始ページ番号に任意の偶数を設定する。予想される結果
「現在のページ番号」に、設定通りの偶数ページ番号が表示される。実際の結果
新規ドキュメント画面で設定した値は反映されず、「現在のページ番号」に「1」が表示される。添付画像のように、開始ページ番号を偶数番号に設定した新規ドキュメントに、「現在のページ番号」を挿入すると「1」から開始されます。
（新規ドキュメント作成画面で設定した番号が偶数である限り、いかなる値であっても反映されず「1」となる）この現象は「ページ番号とセクションの設定」で、一時的に別の値を設定すれば回復します。
しかしこの挙動を認識していないユーザーにとって、大きな混乱を招く原因となることは間違いありません。
また、解決策を見つけるために大きな時間のロスを生む可能性があります。
この不具合は日本語版固有の問題なのかは検証できていませんが、非常に深刻なバグであると認識しています。

[ID-4218828]InDesign, InCopy: linked copy and image files randomly broken
We are a group of 16 graphic designers working on Macs. Our OS are varied between Sierra, High Sierra and Mojave. We work in InDesign 14.03 and 15.02 (with linked InCopy assets), Bridge 9.1 and 10.03, Photoshop 20.0.8 and 21.1, and Illustrator 23.1.1 and 24.1. We work on Box Drive and store our layout files and absolute-linked image assets there. It is critical that we are able to work on each others’ files in a high-volume, high-production environment. We don’t believe this is an issue related to our connection speeds.
Looking for a resolution to these issues:
InDesign: Not all image and InCopy files are automatically updating / relinking to original assets on Box. This occurs when both original and different users open the InDesign file to edit it.
Box Drive: Writers cannot always see ICML and Assignments files on Box Drive (in the Finder) after an Art Director has exported them for the writer to work on. This typically occurs shortly after exporting the assets.
Bridge: time to load image previews can take up to 15 minutes for some designers.

ID 2020 - Indent in combination with wrap text around an image not working
In Indesign 2020, whenever I want to wrap text next to an image, but the text also has an indent the text jumps from the supposed position.
In Indesign 2019 this did not happen. The text was wrapped nicely next to the image, the way you should expect.My guess what happens here, is that the indent specs are applied not the the edge of the frame, but to the edge of the text. Which corrupts the spacing between the image and the text.
I'm working with the latest 2020 version on iMac with Catalina
20 votesThis issue is addressed with a new option "Honor Text Indents in addition to Text Wrap" in Preferences > Composition dialog. This option is ON for new docs created in ID2023 and needs to be turned ON for docs created in older versions of InDesign when opened in ID2023.

Please change one word in the German Indesign
The German Word "Abstände" is used two times in the paragraph style panel but with two completely different meanings.
First use "Einzüge und Abstände" is in English "Indents and Spacing".
Second use "Abstände" is in English "Justification".
Please change the second one to "Blocksatz" or "Blocksatzeinstellungen" so that the German users will not be confused anymore.
Or contact a German speaking InDesign pro user for a better translation.
Just a small change to make a lot of (German speaking) people happy!

InDesign makes incorrect QR code words and we can't decode QR codes correctly.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Object->Make QR Code...
2. Input strings "問題は日本語を正常に扱えるかどうか。".
3. Result QR Code is incorrect.Actual Result:
Sometimes, we got the wrong code in Japanese locale.Any Workarounds:
Here is Japanese character strings "問題は日本語を正常に扱えるかどうか。".
This was coded into the InDesign try and get "image1.png".
Then, we try to decode it at ZXING decoder. Here is a decoded result (image2.png)42 1e 59 58 fe 9a 18 ce 38 1a fe 69 7a 5e 69 ca
ce 8a a9 ee 38 29 2e 6a da 3e 5b 8b 8e 38 1a be
68 9b 1 8 0a ce 09 78 c2 17 9c 14 11 81 a7 38 24
63 02 5e 70 10 06 08 00 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11The top has been encoded in the beginning have you because of 8-bit byte mode from the head with a "0x4". Then, the character codes are used here is UTF-8. Until "... 正常に扱" it has been encoded successfully. But it can not be decoded completely normal the next "え"(12th character) or later.
In fact, this string is a mode change in a 35 byte. And, now, the used is "0x8" So KANJI Mode. Subsequent bytes will be the number of characters. "0xa" So 10 characters. And compressed into one character 13bit in this mode. Actual rest of the string is "えるかどうか。" 7 is the letter does not match the number of fundamental places because. The code itself will be inferred from the simple result of decoding.A byte sequence that has been obtained is decoded as SJIS but UTF-8 has over encoded as it is. The character code must perform the encoding by converting to SJIS from KANJI Mode. 7 is why this in a letter 21 bytes because it is each of the three-byte count of and 10 characters to compress the two-byte set to 13bit come out.
A decoder is handled by SJIS because of KANJI Mode. So characters are garbled.KANJI Mode makes incorrect code words in InDesign and why mode change in a 35 byte?
In case of "問題は日本語を正常に扱えるかどうか。" all characters are non-Ascii code range and all characters in SJIS code range. It must be encoded KANJI Mode if using KANJI Mod.
However, I think it is better to encode 8bit byte mode with UTF-8 all characters.Please reference below:
81 28 31 32 a0 29 ae 3a 7f da 3a 82 e0 bb 35 96
85 24 b6 a1 26 0b 48 4a 42 8e 12 40 94 80 08 00
ec 11It is correct code words in KANJI Mode with "問題は日本語を正常に扱えるかどうか。"(image3.png/Made by QR Code Maker Pro in Adobe AddOns)
And below codes encoded in 8bit byte mode with UTF-843 6e 59 58 fe 9a 18 ce 38 1a fe 69 7a 5e 69 ca
ce 8a a9 ee 38 29 2e 6a da 3e 5b 8b 8e 38 1a be
68 9b 1e 38 18 8e 38 28 be 38 18 be 38 1a 9e 38
18 6e 38 18 be 38 08 20 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11
ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11I recommend discarding KANJI MODE. I think all characters to be encoded 8bit byte mode with UTF-8 characters is the better way.

Thank you for patience while we were investigating into the root cause of the issue.
During our investigation we identified that the issue manifests due to Symentec DLP antivirus software.Please find below steps to whitelist the application:
1. From the Enforce console select System > Agents >Application Monitoring.
2. Select the application to white list. If it is not listed, click on “add application” and provide at least one of the required application binaries.(Refer to Symentec DLP_Console.png for reference)
Note: DLP attempts to validate every field populated. We recommend using as few as fields as needed. If the whitelist seems to fail, try changing which required field is populated or removing one of the other fields.
3. Uncheck all of the detection channels under the “Application Monitoring Configuration.”
4. Click on save and verify the application in the list of monitoring activities is unchecked.
5. After making these changes, test the whitelisted application to see if the issue is resolved.Regards,

mouse lag in indesign when photoshop window open
Experiencing terrible mouse lag in indesign, the cursor flickers constantly and it feels like the mouse is swimming through mud. Nearly enough to make the program unusable. Reinstall fixes the problem temporarily but it returns within 30mins.
I have identified that this only happens when a photoshop window is open behind or next to the indesign window.

Rollover images "stick" in Interactive PDF
Hi, I am working on the document that contains multiple rollovers. All of them "stick" at one point or another, the images will change to "rollover" state but not to the normal state when hovering off. This is very confusing for the end-users. Please see attached pdf. I am using InDesign CC 2018.

We have concluded our investigation into the issue. As per our findings, the bug belongs to Acrobat and there is little that can be done at InDesign’s end.We have already notified the concerned team, internally and they would be working on the same.
For now we are closing this thread for InDesign.

InDesign 2023 (18.0) Screen not refreshing
Half the time or more, page down/up and zoom do not refresh the screen. Attempting to select something just draws the rectangle around nothing. Finally through a variety of erratic body movements, thrashing and random gestures, ID wakes up. This is a huge step backward from v17. Productivity severely hampered.

Hyperlink alt text is ignored in the latest version of Indesign
When creating or editing a hyperlink there is an option to add alt text. If you add alt text to your link and export an accessible PDF the alt text is ignored. I have a document with a ton of hyperlinks that all need alt text which we have added but don't come through because of this bug. Now I'm forced to add them again to the PDF.
19 votesAccording to the ISO-32000, the Hyperlinks are NOT supposed to be populated into the Alt-Text field. They should be entered into the Contents Key (see attachment) instead.
InDesign currently does place them in the correct place [see screenshot attached].
While someone using Acrobat can also add them to the Alt-text field, this is technically less correct than entering into the Contents key but either will pass an Accessibility checker.InDesign implemented this correctly based on the above information (provided by Accessibility experts, like Dax Castro, thanks Dax).
Closing this issue.
