3. AGLFN: ZWJ, ZWNJ, ZWS in PDF

   Indesign is not written ZWJ (U+200D), ZWNJ (U+200C), ZWS (U+200B) with its glyph name uni200D, uni200C, uni200B respectively.

   This is not helping in copying the text with ZWJ (U+200D), ZWNJ (U+200C), ZWS (U+200B) from PDF.

   These non-printing characters are copied has "space" instead.

   These non-printing characters in Indic scripts are part of text. With and without these characters, text can changes its meaning.

   Please support these characters with AGLFN glyph names in fonts in Indesign, PDF export feature.

4. Surface Pro 4 And Gestures

   I have a new Surface Pro 4. When using Adobe applications, gestures on the touch pad (for example pinching or scrolling) either don't work or are really bugy with little control. I was told by Adobe that this is due to the detachable keyboard on the Surface Pro.

5. Multiple Bugs in CC17

   Display issue 1
   Random lines appeared on my screen. Baseline grid and guides were hidden as I was in Preview Mode, no explanation for these lines.

   Display issue 2
   Text doesn’t display correctly when I apply a different Paragraph Style Sheet. (It displays the text in both the original Paragraph Style and new paragraph style on top of one another, even though the new Paragraph Style is selected). I needed to deselect and reselect another paragraph of text to rectify the issue.

   Dialogue box issues
   Both videos show how I’m unable to select from the drop down menu in InDesign. In the first video I want to select the ‘Photoshop Path’ from the Clipping Path dialogue box, but am unable to do so.
   The second video show how I want to create a PDF (via File/Export) but I cannot change the PDF settings from the drop down menu.
   Needed to quit the program and restart to rectify the problem.

7. The lists of entries for a cross reference is not ordered

   Some panels with items (e.g. links) can be ordered by clicking the column header. Others cannot. Among these are the lists of references to choose from when inserting a cross-reference. These seem to be totally unordered. As a result, it is a pain to look for the right one (e.g. choose from a few hundred in a large document). I consider this a bug because other panels do have this ordering

8. Colour picker turns everything to blank with strokes, applies stroke

   Colour picker is broken. Everything is checked, but when I use it, it turns the object picked from into blank with black stroke. When applied, it adds a black stroke. This is true of text, objects, and links. Deleting local settings changed nothing.

9. Profiles equal to the Output-Intend get lost on PDF-Export

   When exporting a PDF all profiles equal to the Output-Intend (which in my case is the Document-Colorspace PSO Coated V3) get lost when exporting.

   I have created a small test-file with an PSO Coated V3 Image and an ISO Coated V2 Image.

   When Exporting as PDF X4 with Output-Intend Set to PSO Coated V3 the Image that IS PSO Coated V3 looses its profile and the same for the ISO Coated V2 when the Output-Intend is set to that.

   This is horrible for Colormanagement. I've been in contact with "Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG" and they suggested to report this to Adobe as a bug.

   They way it is you can not differenciate between images that don't have a profile and images that already have the correct profile. As a result all images get converted again in prepress - even those that already are in the correct profile.

   If you have any further questions feel free to ask and i'll help out as good as i can :)

   Thanks!

10. Missing color in PDF from InDesign

    I have an InDesign file with a placed PSD file in it, which contains two spot colors. When I save the file as a PDF out of InDesign, only one of the two spot channels is visible.

    I'm running the latest versions of InDesign, Photoshop, and Acrobat. To reproduce, open the attached InDesign file and save as a PDF. The resulting PDF should show a yellow and blue spot, but only the blue is visible. (The PDF generated during packaging also exhibits the problem.)

11. spell check window opening partially off-screen InDesign 2025

    When I try to launch spell check it launches partially off-screen. I cannot use the spell check, resize it or even close it.
    
    I can close indesign and re-open and it closes the window. I have tried restarting the machine and opening it on an extended window but it still opens in the top left corner of my primary screen with the top half of the window off-screen.

13. Strange Characters (e.g., "HNY6") Appear When Pressing Spacebar with Caps Lock On (macOS Sequoia 15.5)

    Title:
    Strange Characters (e.g., "HNY6") Appear When Pressing Spacebar with Caps Lock On (macOS Sequoia 15.5)

    Description:
    I’m experiencing a bug in Adobe InDesign (latest version) running on macOS Sequoia 15.5 using a MacBook Pro. When Caps Lock is on and I press the spacebar while typing, instead of inserting a space, InDesign types a string of random characters like “HNY6.”

    This issue happens consistently and seems isolated to InDesign. Other apps (like Notes or Pages) do not show this behavior. I’ve confirmed the problem still occurs after disabling third-party keyboard tools and checking input sources. It only happens when Caps Lock is engaged and I press spacebar.

    Please investigate and resolve this compatibility issue. It impacts workflow significantly when working with all-caps text.

14. Title: `afterSelectionChanged` triggers "The object no longer exists" error even when a valid object is selected Description: When using th

    Title:
    afterSelectionChanged triggers "The object no longer exists" error even when a valid object is selected

    Description:
    When using the method addEventListener("afterSelectionChanged", ...) in an ExtendScript script for InDesign, the application consistently throws the following error:

    "The requested action could not be completed because the object no longer exists."

    This occurs even when:
    - A single TextFrame is manually selected,
    - The object is valid (isValid === true),
    - The code is wrapped in a try/catch,
    - An idleTask is used to defer execution.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Open an InDesign document.
    2. Add the following script:

    function onSelectionChanged(event) {
    try {
    if (app.selection.length > 0 && app.selection[0].isValid) {
    alert("Selected: " + app.selection[0].constructor.name);
    }
    } catch (e) {
    alert("Error: " + e.message);
    }
    }

    app.addEventListener("afterSelectionChanged", onSelectionChanged);

    1. Select a TextFrame on the page.

    Expected Result:
    The script should display the type of the selected object without error.

    Actual Result:
    An error message appears immediately:
    "The requested action could not be completed because the object no longer exists."

    System Information:
    - InDesign Version: 20.4.1
    - OS: macOS 15.3.2
    - Language: French
    - Script executed from: Scripts Panel

    Comment:
    This behavior prevents reliable use of afterSelectionChanged for interacting with the selection. It appears that the event is triggered before the selection is fully stabilized, making app.selection[0] unusable.

15. InDesign Beta (ARM64) The application was unable to start correctly(0xc0000142).

    I'm using the new Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon X Elite – ARM64). I installed Creative Cloud ARM64 and InDesign Beta via official channels.

    When I try to launch it, I get this error:

    pgsql
    Copy
    Edit
    The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)
    I’ve tried:

    Adobe Cleaner Tool

    ARM64 Creative Cloud installer

    Visual C++ redistributables (x64 and ARM64)

    DISM & SFC

    Compatibility mode + Admin rights

    Please help resolve this — it seems to be a bug in the current InDesign Beta ARM64 build.

    Hi,

    Update your Windows 11 to the latest version as the minimum supported version for 20.0 and above beta builds on Windows 11 is 24H2 (26100.1882).

16. Title: Restore Immediate Visibility of Resize Handles on Frame Selection Post

    In the latest InDesign updates, the resize handles (bounding box corners and sides) no longer appear immediately when selecting a text or graphic frame. They only show up after moving the cursor. This is a serious usability issue.

    Without visible handles, there's no clear feedback that the correct object has been selected—especially problematic when working with layered or overlapping elements. This change breaks long-standing workflow habits and slows down production.

    Please restore the previous behavior or at least add a preference toggle to always show resize handles immediately upon selection.
