Sur la version Mac 2025 (20,0) de indesign Je suis obligé pour voir les boites de sélection de faire une manœuvre pour les voir.
les boites sont affichées en arrière de la fenêtre principale. elles n'apparaissent devant que lorsque j'ai fait une manœuvre (voir toutes les fenêtres de l'écran). C'est gênant.

InDesign 2025 changes frame size while applying object style
If you apply an object style with only height set in size/position tab, and inset spacing, the width of the frame changes adding the inset spacing to the width. For example: 100mm width frame (no style applied) and an object style with height set to 25mm and 5mm of inset spacing in both sides (left/right). The frame with applied style will result in 110mm width.

Adobe Indesign (19.0 : 20.0) 2024-2025 / Mac os Sequoia 15.0.1
When using a Text Variable (Running Header ‹Paragraph Style›) and applying it to fully diacritized Arabic text, the first letter of the heading does not appear in the result. This issue arises when exporting to PDF.
open indesign and Type the fully diacritized Arabic text, Assign paragraph sytle, go to Text variable - Define - New - Running Header «Paragraph Style» - Assign.
The text is expected to display correctly without errors; however, contrary to this, the first letter of the fully diacritized text does not appear. This issue…1 vote -
Ouvrir un fichier en glissant l'icône dans la fenêtre ne fonctionne plus
Depuis la version 20.0 x64 sur PC, je ne peux plus ouvrir un fichier InDesign en glissant l'icône sur la fenêtre de l'application. Cela m'est très utile vu qu'à cause d'un CMS installé, mon PC ne reconnaît plus l'icône du programme et que le double-clique ne fonctionne pas non plus.

InDesign 2025 (v20.0) is allowing me to open the same file more than once
InDesign 2025 (v20.0) is allowing me to open 2024 v19.5 files more than once. It doesn't seem to be an issue once the file is converted from 19.5 to 20.0 but it's concerning as I edit files made previously.

Data merge problem - InDesign does not load CSV file with accented symbols
If in InDesign 19.0 I use the CSV format with the East Europe character set in the data merge, then I can merge data with Czech accents without any problems. However, in Version 19.4 and above, I cannot do this. I have not been able to solve the problem and the data loaded has missing symbols. The only solution I have found so far is to install InDesign version 19.0, where the data merge works correctly.

Moving pages not working because of "locked" content?
In 2025 I have a file where I am trying to copy pages into another file and I get a pop up message saying "Cannot modify elements that contain locked content, or are contained by locked content. Please unlock or check out the content and try again." This makes no sense, I have never seen this before. There is NO reason for (as it turns out) having a locked object on a page to preclude me from moving/copying that page, this is isnane.

Problems with punctuation when exporting Hebrew files to epub
Using Indesign V.19.5 on a Mac OS Sequoia V15.0.1
When exporting a Hebrew document the punctuations move to the beginning of the sentences. I am unable to upload this book to an online shop. Had been in touch with Adobe support in the past but the issue remains.

interactive rollovers
The Latest version of Indesign (20.0) has some bugs with rollover buttons in the EPUB Interactivity preview.
Some rollover buttons work (buttons with basic changes made in the rollover state ie font/colour).
Some rollover buttons do not work (buttons with different images placed in each rollover state) THE ROLLOVER STATE ALWAYS SHOWS, THE NORMAL STATE NEVER SHOWS.
The 'publish online' documents work fine, this bug ONLY occurs with the EPUB interactivity preview in Indesign.

Text not active after clicking on pdf markup comment panel
After clicking on the comment in the pdf comments panel, and applying the comment (or selecting the comment after auto-applying), sometimes I have to click again in the actual text frame to start typing any adjustments i need to make. It would be great if I could just type in the text frame after clicking on the comment, without having to again click in the text frame.

Wrong position of autocorrect
Sometimes when a pdf markup is for a space between two words, the autocorrect creates the space in the wrong place, one character ahead of where it should be, so for example, if the markup was to the words removespace, the result would be removes pace.

Sharing InDesign Library files (*.indl)
Sharing InDesign Library files (*.indl) with others on my team.
I spoke with InDesign "folks" at the recent Adobe MAX conference in Miami, FL, and they suggested using the CC Library to share these files, but they are not allowed to be posted. This was the suggestion given to me at the conference/convention.
I need to be able to share access to these files (I have several libraries), but if I'm using InDesign, others can't even open them, much less get the content within.

Guides aligned with cursor and not object
Just updated to InDesign 2025 (v 20.0) and had to switch back to the previous version due to the smart guides functioning strangely. The guides should show up in the center or edge of the object so that I can align it properly on the page and in relation to other objects. Instead, it's producing the guidelines from wherever my cursor is when I click and drag the object. This has made it much more difficult to do simple things like center objects, since it's just centering my cursor instead. I've never had any desire to align things based on…

App window resizes after presentation mode
InDesign 2025 (v 20.0) on Mac OS 14.6.1
When opening presentation mode (Shift + W or View > Screen Mode > Presentation …) and going back to default/preview mode the application window resizes.
When having the app window to its full size after presentation mode it changes back to its smaller size that you can toggle by using the green plus icon on the top left (Mac Version).When setting both window states manually to full size and toggling between the two (without effective size change) once it works afterwards the window stays in the same size when escaping presentation…

2025 ID - Linked Files fail and just Spin
Mac 14.7 - ID 2025 - Docs with Linked Files (simple PDFs and Jpgs) just produce spinners and never become workable. Display set to Typical. This happens AFTER a file is saved and re-opened. When it is made all is fine, until it is closed and reopened. Have reverted to 2024.
