InDesign 2025 (v20.3.1) freezes when interacting with modal dialog panels on macOS 15.5 (Sequoia)
Hi Adobe team,
I’m experiencing repeated, non-reproducible hangs in InDesign 2025 (v20.3.1) when interacting with certain modal dialog panels — such as Panel Options, Color Panel settings, and similar. This occurs on macOS 15.5 (Sequoia). After clicking inside one of these dialogs, InDesign sporadically becomes unresponsive (beachball), requiring a force quit via “Force Quit Applications.”
The issue existed before a complete clean install of macOS and continues to occur even after the fresh system setup with no migration or prior settings carried over.
Here are the key system details:
• macOS version: 15.5 (24F74) – Developer Beta (Sequoia)

Can't rename object in 2022
Same issue like here, but posting this again to get a response to this, because the response below that post is a big joke. The admin assumes that the bug report is too stupid to rename an object. But the gif clearly shows that 1. the admin hat the window arranged differently and 2. in the gif with the bug you see the rename window flickering.
I did the work adobe should do and tested it a bit.
The result is different depending on if the windows is floating, docked or expanded. Float and expand works, dock not.

bookmarks for TOC are not correctly ordered in bookmarks panel
When I generate a TOC, some sections of the bookmarks that are created are nested within one another when they should be at the same level. The TOC styles in the screenshot show the proper hierarchy, but the bookmark folders are not correct. What is causing this. Also, clicking on the bookmarks does NOT launch the destination. I have to manually choose the menu items "Go to..."

alt text
Also category: Accessibility
I'm having a problem with the PDF tags when applying alt text to a group of items- a feature introduced in the most recent version of Indesign. Even though our articles panel shows separate articles, ALL of the content that comes AFTER a group tagged with alt text will have their exported tags all appear nested within that group as well, ignoring the structure set up in the Article panel. For example:
Article 1
Group with alt tag item in group Item in group more content
Article 2
Article 2 content
Will in the exported PDF…

updating a placed multipage pdf
Hello,
When a multipage pdf is placed in InDesign, and an update of the pdf is needed, it is possible to do 'update link' in the links panel. But when 'show import options' is ON (in the 'place' window), all of the placed pages of the pdf will be replaced by page 1 of the updated pdf.
For my opinion, if you want to update the instances of a placed pdf, the responsive pages have to be updated. At least the option must be accessible when updating the link.2 votes -
Color Swatch Menu Closes Upon Right-Click
- Adobe InDesign v19.0 When I click the color swatches panel menu dropdown, the menu drops down, and I am able to edit existing swatches and I am able to add new swatches. The problem occurs when I attempt to right-click on a color or if I press the hamburger button at the top right of the panel. When I try to do either of these, the entire menu closes.

We have been able to reproduce the issue and it is currently under investigation.—

Export from book file default to wrong filetype
CC 2017 12.0.0.81
Using the regular export menu, export an interactive PDF. That becomes the default. But now I want to export a Print PDF from the book panel, it keeps defaulting back to interactive PDF. So to make its I don't have to remember to choose Print PDF (for every single export), I have to first export a random Print PDF using the regular export menu, just to switch the default in the Export Selected files to PDF option.The two export locations: File > Export and using the flight from the Book panel, shouldn't be tied…

Relinking / opening new documents window broken
When I try to relink or open a new document (anything that involves locating a file from my MAC) I can no longer select shortcuts from my sidebar. The folder icons are placeholder documents rather than folder icons. Clicking on them has no effect.

Auto-sizing text frames not working
When I try to auto-size a text box in "Text Frame Options," nothing happens. I generally click on the text box, open the text frame options panel with command-B and click on the auto-size tab. Once inside that panel, I attempt to auto-size. Nothing is grayed out so it appears as if it would work, but when I click on "width only" (or any other option), nothing happens and it just stays on the original selection. And I can't seem to find a work around either.

boxes in all control panels can not be activaded
In every control panel (no matter where) text or values in the boxes can not be activated. To enter new values or text, I have to delete each letter individually, forwards or backwards. This is very annoying.

Text to Image (Beta) pop-up comes up CONSTANTLY
This won't go away. He keeps popping up and then dominates the mouse/command prompts. The 'got it" button is hidden below the my icon dock and it disappears before I can hit it and if I do hit it, it keeps popping up anyways.

CC library window reappears when adding new paragraph style
Please stop the CC library pane appearing every time a new paragraph style is created. Seems to be a bug as there's no clear relationship between the features.
