2. Updated version 21.0.2 features not working

   Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server: 21.0.2, updated 12.01.2025
   Steps to reproduce the issues: There are multiple issues occurring.
   1. Open existing file, last saved on 11.03.2025.
   2. App freezes when trying to use any function, e.g. copy/paste, duplicate page. Takes up a few minutes for any function to complete.
   3. When trying to save the file, I have to save as a new file.
   4. When exporting to PDF, does not Use InDesign Document Name as the Output File Name despite being selected. If selecting Range, only allows All Pages in dropdown. Does not export accessibility tags despite having both Create Tagged PDF and Use Structure for Tab Order are selected.

   Expected result: for the file to use the document name as the PDF file name, for it to be able to export only a range, and to have accessibility tags preserved in PDF.

   Actual result:
   1. Freeze and lag with each step of the process.
   2. File will not export to PDF. Sometimes getting a Failure pop up but cannot identify any issue.
   3. Have to choose option to open file with, but it does not save the file in the location I selected. I have to resave it in order to run Accessibility Checker.
   4. No tags export with file even though everything is properly mapped in InDesign and exports made 11.3.25 retained the tags.

   Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)

3. 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.

4. 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 a document. The only way to avoid it, is to resize the canvas window as the first step after opening. Still opening a second file ruins that work around.
   It's annoying, as InDesign was actually for me the only Adobe program that was made with usability in mind. Using and loving it (mostly ;)) since version 1.5. And now I'm spending more time closing and opening files than actually working on them.
   Thanks for helping me with the problem.

5. 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?

6. 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 horribly broken feature right now and im losing my mind over it.

8. MathML Rendering Error

   In InDesign v21.0, the updated Maths Expressions Panel automatically inserts mathvariant="normal" into the root <math> element after I edit an equation using the new panel. This behaviour does not occur until the equation is edited in version 21.0, but once it happens, the MathML rendering is altered incorrectly.

   Issue Details
   When I open and edit an existing MathML equation in the new Maths Expressions Panel (v21.0), InDesign injects mathvariant="normal" into the <math> tag upon saving.
   This overrides the default MathML behaviour and forces all <mi> elements to render upright (normal) instead of italic.

   • Manually deleting the attribute does not help—InDesign re-adds it every time I save or update the equation.
   • Choosing Italic under Typefaces Properties → Font Style further breaks MathML rules by causing <mn> and <mo> elements to become italic, which is incorrect.
   • The issue appears to originate from the new Font Style feature introduced in v21.0.

   Impact
   Once an equation is edited in version 21.0, its typography becomes incorrect. This affects mathematical accuracy, consistency, and the overall quality of my project’s typesetting.

   Requested Fix
   Please correct or remove the automatic insertion of mathvariant="normal" so MathML equations retain proper default styling—particularly the italicisation of <mi> tags—after editing.

9. copy something with a shadow from one document moves the shadows randomly

   in the version 21.0 of Indesign when you copy something with a shadow from one document into another and moves it the shadows move to random positions. Workaround: You need to select them manually deactivate and activate them to get them back at the right position.

10. palettes stay closed

    Our entire department recently did the newest update to Adobe InDesign (21.0)
    Steps to reproduce the issues: Close document and open another one

    Every single time I open a new file (which is many times per day) the pallets do not pop open. The workspace still looks like it should and when I click on a pallet to use it, it highlights like it would if it was popped open for use but nothing happens.

    Expected result: Pallets pop open so I can make changes on my file
    Actual result: Pallets highlight like they will open but actually stay closed and do nothing

    The only way I have found to make this work is to reset the workspace (whether it's one you have saved as your own or just using a default). EVERY. SINGLE. TIMEEE PLEASE FIX THIS

11. Adobe InDesign 2026 doesn't play well with 2025

    It's absolutely ridiculous to me that the 2025 version and 2026 version are incompatible with each other. I can't open old files easily with the new software. I can't drag and drop items from an older file to a new file. The functionality is absolutely awful. Do better.

12. Clicking icons (sometimes) does not open the palette

    Version: Indesign 21.0
    Expected result: clicking the icon opens the palette
    Actual result: the palette does not open, even though the icon has a "clicked" appearance
    Steps to reproduce: I haven't figured out, it seems to happen randomly... but restarting the program fixes it

    Note:
    The problem affects the entire column of icons shown in the screenshot, not just the clicked one.

15. When importing tables through tagged text, formatting inexplicably and erratically lost; extra hard returns inserted

    1. Adobe InDesign 20.5
    2. Flow the attached .txt files (tagged text) into an InDesign file. you'll need paragraph styles "TABC", "TABH1", "TABTX", and "TAB" (the paragraph for the table). You'll also need table style "TAB" and a cell style "tabtx".
    3. The last cell in table 19.2 should be empty—no hard return. The the text in row 2, column 3 of table 19.4, "katab" should be italic.
    4. There's a hard return in the last cell of table 19.2; any text in cell R2C3 in table 19.4 is not ital (but note that the text in table 19.2 at R2C3 is italic as expected.
    5. See the attached tagged text and Word files as well as the attached screen shot.

    When importing tagged text, I am seeing some formatting—like italic—dropped, and I'm also seeing extra hard returns inserted in the last cell of the table. These problems seem to be intermittent and unpredictable. For example, in a cell with this text

    <CellStart:><ParaStyle:TAB_TX><cTypeface:Italic>katab<cTypeface:><CellEnd:>

    "katab" is not being italicized, but in a cell with this text

    <CellStart:><ParaStyle:TAB_TX><cTypeface:Italic>qəṭál<cTypeface:><CellEnd:>

    "qəṭál" is italicized just fine.

    If I copy and paste the "qəṭál" cell into the first file replacing the "katab" cell, "qəṭál" is not italicized. I've attached the tagged text and Word files for each.

    The other weird thing I'm seeing is a hard return inserted in an otherwise empty last cell in the table. You can see it in the table 19.4 file.

    If it helps, I can upload the InDesign template as well.

    1. Adobe InDesign 20.5
    2. Flow the attached .txt files (tagged text) into an InDesign file. you'll need paragraph styles "TABC", "TABH1", "TABTX", and "TAB" (the paragraph for the table). You'll also need table style "TAB" and a cell style "tabtx".

17. InDesign 20.5 nonresponsive in paragraph/character styles after Windows update KB5065789

    After a Windows 11 update to "September 29, 2025—KB5065789 (OS Builds 26200.6725 and 26100.6725) Preview" InDesign is nonresponsive hanging for minutes at a time trying to navigate menu options in Paragraph Styles and Character Styles.
    The same happens with prior versions of InDesign with this Windows Update.
    Confirmed the problem occurred on two different users/machines, with a new blank document.

18. InDesign process dies after 3 minutes

    I'm facing the following problem. I'm on a new Windows 11 (24H2) and have Creative Cloud and various apps like Photoshop (26,11), Illustrator (29.8.2) or InDesign (20.5) installed. Every app works fine except InDesign. No matter what INDD file I work on, what menu I'm in or if I just leave the app open showing the start page, after 3 minutes the InDesign.exe dies. I've checked that I have the latest updates, reinstalled it, removed all presettings of previous versions, tried to run as admin and in compatibilty mode. Nothing changes. It runs 3 minutes and then suddenly dies. In Windows event logs is nothing reported around that moment so I have no clues, what's the reason.

19. Share for Review PDF link: asset not found

    When uploading the share for review file, the upload hung up for a long time. It finally went through, but once I followed the link I get an Error 404: Asset not found in safari.

    Have refreshed the link multiple times with no change.

    Indesign 20.5
    Safari 26.0.1

20. ".pdf" added to packaged files

    Since InDesign 2025 launch, when packaging files InDesign adds ".pdf" file name to created packaged folders. It is annoying and incorrect.
