1. Bug: UXP plugin panels become unusable when pressing Alt+F4 on Windows

   InDesign 20.2 x64 on Windows 11

   Steps to reproduce:
   - Open any UXP based plugin panel on Windows OS (does not occur on Mac)
   - Click inside the panel to "focus" it
   - Press Alt+F4

   Expected result:
   - InDesign window/app is closed (Alt+F4 is the default Windows shortcut for closing a window)

   Actual result:
   - Plugin panel contents becomes blank.
   - Situation is unrecoverable in InDesign. Closing the panel and reopening it has no effect. InDesign restart is required.

   "Ironically" this issue also occurs for the built-in "Plugins" panel (likely also UXP based?)

2. variable weight font issues - STILL with 20.1

   Re-posting this issue with more screen shots. Variable weight fonts will work 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time, they do not and give you incorrect output or unusable output, with no error warnings. This example had the first PDF output substitute the blocky serif font Bitter with another font, without any warnings or errors. The second PDF output has the correct font, but the letter forms have issues at the vertices, which make them untrappable. Converting them to outlines and then merging the path objects is the only way to get correct outlines of the charcters.

4. Lists ignore alignment when story is subject to object wrapping

   InDesign v20.1.

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. In a blank document, create a new story. Add a few blank lines, then a new paragraph with list settings (either bullets or numbers). Align it to center or right.
   2. Create an ellipsis and set its wrapping options to contour wrapping.
   3. Move the ellipsis so that it intersects the story above the actual list (the list doesn't have to be in range of the wrapping countour).

   Expected result:
   Nothing should happen to the list, since it's far from the wrapping area.

   Actual result:
   The numbers/bullets get aligned the left, no matter what alignment is set.

   Attached are a screenshot of a test file (aligned to the right) and another found in production (aligned center).

5. pasteboard color will not change at all

   pasteboard color will not change -- it stays dark gray. I want it light gray but it will not change to any color, much less light gray.

   Overprint preview is OFF.

   this bug exists in both indesign 2022 and indesign 2025 on Mac OS Sonoma 14.7.5 / dark mode
   5K intel iMac 24GB RAM.

   I don't use ID2025 because it is totally unusable on sonoma on intel iMac -- but tested it to see if the pasteboard color bug is there too and it is.

   definitely exists since recent sonoma and ID updates late 2024/2025.

6. Multiple Issues

   I've noticed three glitches very recently in Adobe InDesign 2025. #1 - Seems like every other time I open the print dialog box to select the printer I want to use, the printers are in a different order in the list. #2 - Often times, when I open a document, my keyboard shortcuts won't work. I have to close the document and then re-open it to get them to work. #3 - Most frustrating is, I start to create a new document. I enter the document size into the New Document window and when I hit the Create button and it opens, the document is a completely different size than what I entered.

7. Library text frame auto-size error

   Product: Adobe InDesign
   Version: 20.2
   Platform: macOS
   Issue type: Bug
   Severity: Moderate
   Reproducible: Always

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. Create a text frame with a single character (e.g. “X”).
   2. Enable Auto-Size (Height only).
   3. Save the text frame to the Library.
   4. Place the frame into a layout from the Library.

   Expected result:
   Text frame should retain Auto-Size setting and adjust to the content’s height.

   Actual result:
   Auto-Size is disabled, and the frame stretches from the insertion point to the bottom of the text frame area / margin, even though there’s only one character inside.

   Workaround:
   If the text frame is grouped with another object (even an invisible one), and saved to the Library as a group, the bug does not occur. The frame is then saved as a Graphic object in the Library, and Auto-Size works as expected.

   Suggested fix:
   Ensure that Auto-Size metadata is preserved when saving standalone text frames to the Library, as with grouped objects.

8. Modifications on PDF export profile are incoherent

   Windows 11, Indesign 20.1
   Steps to reproduce:
   1. With at least one PDF export profile present, export an INDD to PDF
   2. In the export dialog, change something on the settings, like checkmarking "Create Acrobat layers", given it's not marked already. The export profile would then become marked as "(modified)".
   3. Select the unmodified profile again, to remove the previously set checkmark.
   4. Now change the settings "Pages" from "All" to "Range". The export profile is now NOT marked as modified.

   Conclusion: if you want to reset the export from Range to All, you cannot do that by simply selecting any profile, you have to do it manually. Thats illogical.

9. indesign crashed

   I am currently using Zoho's virtual space.
   For the past two weeks, I have been experiencing a problem where Adobe InDesign crashes whenever I attempt to use the "Save As" function. This issue did not occur previously, but it has become a persistent problem. I kindly request assistance in resolving this matter.

12. Table controls are missing from Properties pane, and selection control lacks ToolTip

    I had mysterious, unselectable text in my document with multiple columns. It turned out to be a table, but this was not indicated anywhere in the UI. Not in the layer list or the Properties pane when the text frame was selected. Table properties are missing from the Properties pane even when you have the text-insertion point sitting in a table cell.

    A major contributor to the problem is that the tiny table-selection icon that appears on the left side of a table has no ToolTip, and does nothing when clicked or dragged. Only by guessing that you have to double-click it will you discover that this invokes row/column selection mode. And only then do table-related controls appear in the Properties pane.

    I would expect a ToolTip on the on-screen control, and I would expect table properties to appear in the Properties pane when you have the insertion point in the table.

13. PNG export affected by "Display Performance" Settings

    Affected InDesign versions:

    I could reproduce it with InDesign 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and Prerelease 2025. From what I've found here so far, however, the problem has existed since at least 2020.

    ---

    Reproduce:

    • "Display Performance" set to "Typical"
    • place a PNG or PSD with semi-transparent areas in InDesign (image for testing: semitransparent.png)
    • export to PNG

    This also happens if the PNG export is triggered before the document has been fully rendered and the "Display Performance" settings are set to ‘High Quality’. This therefore also affects automated processes, e.g. on InDesign Server.

    ---

    Expected result:

    • high quality output with correctly rendered transparencies (see png-export-expected.png)

    ---

    Actual result:

    • Stripes in the semi-transparent areas (see png-export.png)

    ---

    Even worse:

    • set the "Display Performance" to "Fast"
    • only a gray box is in the exported PNG instead of the actual image (see png-export-fast.png)

    Affected InDesign versions:

    I could reproduce it with InDesign 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and Prerelease 2025. From what I've found here so far, however, the problem has existed since at least 2020.

14. Converting a text URL to a hyperlink removes the instances of the text variables!!!

    1. All InDesign versions
    2. Create a URL that includes Text Variable instance
    3. URL looks and prints correctly,
    4. but hyperlink is wrong: there are no text variables values in it.

    It is obvious that URLs are convenient to generate from text variables. Especially if there are thousands of them!
    This would be a phenomenal solution not only to our problem, but...

    Instead of substituting the values ​​of text variable instances, nothing is replaced (empty strings instead of text variable instances), and the hyperlink (which looks and prints correctly in the text) is generated as invalid!
    We need to create and maintain a script to fix incorrectly generated hyperlinks, but this drawback could be solved at the highest level - just add text variable processing to the hyperlink converter!

15. Preview on GPU disappears; restarting only resolution

    Problem: Workspace turns into a blank outline in Preview on GPU.

    Occurrence: When switching between windows or after returning to an open InDesign file after having a pause.

16. Portuguese from Portugal

    The Portuguese language originated in Portugal.
    That being said, the Portuguese Dictionary from Portugal implemented in InDesign should align with the native language. In fact, there are numerous supposed errors detected by Dynamic Spelling.
    InDesign insists on not accepting words like "Económico" or "prémios," as it considers them to be mistakes, given that in Brazilian Portuguese, which is a variant of the Portuguese language, they are not written this way. It's about time they fix this issue.
    Thank you.

17. Vector graphics distorted and broken - Cause unkown

    I don't know what prior action or command let to this bug but almost all my Vector graphics were suddenly distorted and broken. Some Small circles changed size and I couldn't scale in down anymore. See pictures. Exportet pdf files show the same distorted graphics.

18. Paragraph shading randomly disappears in some places when working in Indesign

    Expected result: the shading is always displayed as it is applied in the settings.

    Actual result: after making an adjustment, the shading disappears in some places and the shading edges that are displayed are not the actual edges, which makes it impossible to make accurate changes in the shading. When a pdf is made, the shading looks how it should look, so no issues there. It is merely when working in Indesign that the display of the shading is faulty. At first, when opening the Indesign file, the shading is displayed correctly, but when a change is made in the (shading of) the area, the shading breaks up, so you can't see what you are actually doing.

    Reproduce: make an adjustment in the shaded area. Text in columns, anchored objects in text, placed images, shading merged. The more anchored objects are inserted, the more the paragraph shading breaks up. (The line and paragraph numbering in the text in the attached example are anchored objects.)

20. Inset spacing no longer working after re-installing InDesign 2025

    I re-installed InDesign 2025 because some windows were blank ('Text Wrap', 'Paragraph' & 'Colour'). It solved that issue but developed a new issue - it wouldn't save.
