1. imported mp4 showing as lines and not allowing poster frame

   When importing an MP4 the frame no longer shows the first frame image, it shows diagonal blue lines. A poster frame can also no longer be set.

   I've tried opening an old Indesign file that had an MP4 with a poster frame set and reimport the exact same MP4 next to it and it seems that the original MP4 works as expected, however the newly imported version of the same file doesn't show an image of the video and a poster frame cannot be set.

   Please find an example screenshot of this uploaded, showing the original MP4 working as expected (on the right, imported before the current version of InDesign), and the same file imported in the same way showing only a box with diagonal lines and no ability to set a poster frame (on the left of the uploaded screenshot).

   The version of InDesign is 21.0.

2. InDesign v 21.0 packaging bug hung up on idml file

   I created a document in the previous version of InDesign (v 20.5.1) and recently converted it to the new version to test things out. I was unable to package the design files from this file, it always seemed to get stuck on creating pdf and idml file and would completely freeze the program. It's definitely creating the files because the folder is there, but the idml file is only 1kb in size, so it's not being created properly. I converted the file back to the previous version and packaged and it did it with zero issues. Something different is happening with this new version.

3. Can no longer expand palettes to full window screen height

   After upgrading to ID 2026, I can no longer expand my palettes to the full height of my screen. In the attached screen shot, the palette is as tall as I can make it. This seems to be the case for all palettes, not just layers. My screen resolution is 2560 x 1440.

4. Writing in Arabic is not possible in the new version

   In the new version, it looks that writing in Arabic is not possible (the letters are not connected). Is this a bug? I tried to reinstall the new version and I already have my other Adobe products and account set to "English support Arabic" in languages

5. publish online

   Last night I received an update to version 21.0 of Indesign 2026. Since then, Publish Online has a glitch where it shows certain file types (pngs, jpgs) as gray boxes, even when they are displaying correctly in InDesign. Illustrator, eps, and pdf files seem to work fine. I also notice that previously published documents seem to be fine still. Do I really need to go save all my images as these other file types and replace them, or is a fix coming soon for this?

7. InDesign 20.4 Windows 11 Bug. UXP Plugin Panel and Dialog have incorrect behavior of html SELECT tag

   InDesign 20.4 Windows 11: After updating from version 20.3.1 to 20.4 UXP, the plugin, which worked fine in the previous version, now has problems with displaying dialogs and panels, namely:
   all SELECT tags on a panel are stopped responding to modification.
   Version 20.3.1 does not exhibit these problems; dialogs and panels display SELECT tags correctly and respond to user modifications.
   In version 20.4, SELECT tags respond only by changing the border color to blue; the list is not displayed at all. It is impossible to change the selected list item. In the dialog, this behavior is observed in all elements.
   Reinstalling version 20.4 did not solve the problem. The incorrect behavior of the application persists.
   Beta and release version 20.3.1: The plugin behaves normally.

9. exporting to pdf crashes ID

   I think my company just updated our licences and suddenly ID crashes when trying to export to pdf. I tried saving as a new file and exporting, it worked a couple of times, but at no point would it export over an existing (closed) pdf.

   Added to the above, my keyboard suddenly decided not to respond. I put in new batteries, but it did not work until I did a restart.

   I have tested exporting from indd, idml, both did not work. I'm re exporting as I fix errors I see in the pdf that were missed in ID.

   I tried another restart.

   No attributes have been changed.

   And still it crashes, EVERY TIME

13. CMYK Black is shifting to gray upon export after updating InDesign 19.5.2

    I'm working on some files that have tone on tone colors, and last night when I exported my PDF everything was fine. Today I updated my software to version 19.5.2 and suddenly my black is shifting to gray upon export. I've checked output, removed everything from the surrounding artboard, removed all RGB colors from the swatches. When I export PNG everything is as it should be, so this is solely a PDF export issue. All other colors seem to be normal as well, only Black is shifting.

    InDesign (20.1) is laggy and constantly crashes at the slightest thing.

    Edit some text - crashes

15. Crashing on Windows 11 when putting laptop into Tablet Mode

    When InDesign is open with the laptop in desktop mode it works fine. As I have a 2 in 1, I put it into tablet mode but this leads to InDesign to crash, this works vice versa if you boot it up in tablet mode and go to desktop mode.. This is really easy to replicate and all that is required is a 2in1 laptop on Windows 11.

    1. Open InDesign
    2. Flip the Screen over to force laptop into tablet mode
    3. Crash box appears

17. not opening files

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server - Version 20 (beta), running on Windows 11

    Steps to reproduce the issues - In Windows file explorer, I double click on an .indd file

    Expected result - InDesign would then open the file

    Actual result - InDesign opens, but will not open the file. The only ways I can open an .indd file in InDesign is by using the Open command or by dragging and dropping an .indd file into it.

18. InDesign crashes when trying to cut, and/or copy, a table from the paragraph level

    Different versions of InDesign have this problem including 2023, 2024, and 2025 - on Mac Monteray.

    If I attempt to highlight tables from the paragraph level and copy or cut, either with menus or key commands, InDesign will either immediately crash, or beach ball a bit and then crash.

    Upon reopening InDesign, the menus will not appear. I have to use the keyboard commands to quit InDesign again. Upon reopening, it will work properly again... that is unless I attempt to copy or cut another table.

    Please fix! I'm constantly working with complicated tables and the only way to get them to remain consistant is to copy and paste them!!

    In the attached screenshot you can see how I am highlighting the tables.

    NOTE: These tables include form fields. I noticed I am able to copy/cut tables that do not include them - so maybe that's an issue?

    NOTE 2: Also, I'm able to delete (without cutting) so clipboard issue??

    Also, a friend working on a PC was able to copy/cut - so looks like a Mac problem.

    EDIT: Form fields are the problem - deleting them solves it. I need the form fields - anything you can do to help?

19. ID 20.0.1 locks up when resizing a table cell, either expanding the column or expanding the row width downward.

    Mac Sonoma, M2 silicon.

    I have an academic text chapter with numerous tables; Hebrew is scattered through the text, and some tables have Hebrew columns. Many times working on the file, the slightest change to resize a table cell, or resize a column, or who knows what, ID will go into rainbow wheel of death mode and must be killed.

    I just now found a repeatable lockup. A table had no header row, but crosses pages, so I created a header row to be present on each page for that table.

    Copying the single line text from a cell into that column's header cell works. Copying a four text line table cell into the one line table header cell for that column expands the header cell (and row) downward, and then ID locks up and must be killed. That has happened twice on one table..

    I now recognize that the same lockup has happened on other similar tables on exactly that same column; when copying a four line text from a cell into a one line header cell that must expand downward, ID locks up.

    For what it is worth, the tables are on pages that are rotated 90º CCW, as the table is too wide for a 6x9 horizontal page.

    In this instance the header row and the row below it are the last elements on a page; when pasting the text into the header cell the header row expands and pushes the first table cell to the next page.

    Other tables have locked up ID when pasting into a header cell that was the first row on a page, but it may have pushed a lower row to the next page; I am not sure of that.

    In another instance, in the top-of-page table panel for that same problematic column, I could click the column width box one point at a time to widen it to its desired width, roughly 66pt to 108pt, but if I entered 108pt in the column width and tabbed out to expand it at once, ID locked up and had to be killed.

    I tried falling back to 19.5.1, but it also locks up and must be killed.

    If you want the file to duplicate the problems, you must provide a private way to transfer it to you.

    Why do you use a fixed size text box on the bug report page, when that makes it difficult to provide sufficiently long problem descriptions?

    If you want more information I will try to provide it. Thank you.

    Mac Sonoma, M2 silicon.

20. Indesign 20.0.01 freezes when updating fonts

    It happens erratically, however, when Indesign needs to update or scan fonts, it freezes -- even if the document uses fonts that are open and available. Only work around is to click on any other app and then click back on Indesign document. This happens on just about any type of Indesign file (blank pages, or pages with lots of texts and font usage).
