1. Indesign incredibly slow or crashes with more than one document open

   InDesign (15.0.2) becomes almost unusable with more than (1) document open. Trying to copy text or images from one document to the next or just work in one of the documents while the other is open results in minutes-long wait times (or complete crash) to even select a text box, type a character, etc.

   Steps to reproduce:
   Open INDD doc (either on network or desktop)
   Open second INDD doc
   Attempt to edit text in either doc or copy over text from one document to the next

   Set-up info:
   InDesign 15.0.2
   Windows 10 Enterprise // 10.0.17763

   Trouble-shooting included:
   - Turned off all plug-ins
   - Turned off all preferences related to instant rendering of image, type, previews
   - Turned off pre-flight
   -Turned off type previews, variable characters, etc
   -Display is set to typical (although, it happens in FAST as well)

2. Object effects not scaling when using numeric adjustment

   When I scale an object using the actual size of the object, say I have a rectangle 40x40mm with a stroke size of 4 point, and I increase the size to say 80x80mm the stroke still stays at 4 points. This also applies to effects that I have given the object, like a drop shadow. All the effects are not scaled if I scale the object numerically. No matter which panel I use and of course the transformation panel is marked to scale strokes and effects. The effects do scale if I scale it by percentage like they should.
   The problem is, if I have some sort of artwork with any kind of outline and want to set the exact hight of that artwork or object, the stroke size used to be adjusted accordingly, but now just stays as it was set at the beginning.

6. Applying a different swatch not always working (bug?)

   It happens every now and then that changing the color of text by selecting the text with the text tool and clicking on the desired swatch does not change anyting. You can select the desired color, but the text color stays the same. It does not seem to be document related and is not always happening. If you use the color picker to select a random color from the document, the problem disappears. You can find more comments and examples on this issue in the Support Community: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/can-t-change-colors-from-the-swatch-panel/m-p/11859690
   At this moment I am running ID CC 16.1 on a fully updated 'heavy duty' Windows 10 pc of 2 years old. I cannot reproduce the issue at the moment, because it does not happen all the time and I am currently not experiencing problems (a few days ago I did though, but had no time for posting).

7. Serious GREP style bug: ampersands

   Hi, InDesign team.

   I've run into a serious bug with GREP styles. Any GREP expression containing an ampersand character that is entered as a GREP style in a paragraph style will suddenly acquire additional ampersands whenever I scroll through the list of GREP styles.

   STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

   Create a simple GREP style as part of a paragraph style.
   The entire GREP expression should consist of the single character &. (Though this also happens when the & is part of longer expressions.)
   Make enough other GREP styles that you need to scroll in the window to see them all.
   Close the paragraph style window and reopen it.
   Scroll through the list of GREP styles.
   When you scroll, you will see that "&" has become "&&."

   HERE ARE OTHER DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS ISSUE:

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/ampersand-gets-doubled-in-grep-style/td-p/10329693?page=1

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/self-propagating-ampersands-in-grep-in-a-paragragh-style/td-p/5881764?page=1

   https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/36196819-paragraph-style-grep-functions-are-unreliable

   I believe I have gotten around the bug by using the Unicode value for an ampersand, but this is not ideal. I need to be able to trust that the GREP style implementation is solid.

   Thank you.

8. Indesign 13.1 x64 (PC), Cell styles, Ignore option not working

   I can't get the "Ignore" option to work when setting up cell styles, I've had it working on previous versions, but now it won't stay (it needs to show in the rule type and colour setting selector panel but when I select "Ignore" nothing shows in the panel - it needs to display the "Ignore" setting). An example of when you might use it is if you've set up a table with various cell styles, eg header row, thin underlines, thick underlines and a table end rule and then want to apply a tint panel to all, or some of one or more columns without changing any of the rules applied using other cell styles (Annual Reports are documents where you would like this to work)
   It's a very handy feature that doesn't seem to work any more.
   Thanks,
   Peter

    Hello All,

    Thank you for patience while we were investigating into the root cause of the issue.
    During our investigation we identified that the issue manifests due to Symentec DLP antivirus software.

    Please find below steps to whitelist the application:
    1. From the Enforce console select System > Agents >Application Monitoring.
    2. Select the application to white list. If it is not listed, click on “add application” and provide at least one of the required application binaries.(Refer to Symentec DLP_Console.png for reference)
    Note: DLP attempts to validate every field populated. We recommend using as few as fields as needed. If the whitelist seems to fail, try changing which required field is populated or removing one of the other fields.
    3. Uncheck all of the detection channels under the “Application Monitoring Configuration.”
    4. Click on save and verify the application in the list of monitoring activities is unchecked.
    5. After making these changes, test the whitelisted application to see if the issue is resolved.

    Regards,
    InDesign Team

12. incopy

    I am using InCopy v. 20.0 with DropBox. When I open a document, changes that other teammates have made to items in the Assignments panel have not automatically updated like they used to. This is a new issue with the most recent update. Prior to the update, when I opened a file, any changes by myself or other people have updated automatically, but now I have to manually update each one in the Assignments panel. Is there a fix or a setting change that can address this?

14. Page tool causes layout shifts on parent pages

    When the Page Tool is used to resize parent (master) pages, unwanted shifts of page items may occur. These can occur directly in the document or also after an IDML export. Whereby with the IDML export the order of the sample pages plays a role

    Concrete example: When the right bottom corner of the Page Tool is selected and the page size is changed, a position mismatch occurs on the inherited master page.

    It is expected that on master pages of the same size the position of objects and inherited object is the same.

    This does not occur if the upper left corner of the Page tool is used when resizing.

    You can see this also in the different matixes of the inner coordinate system of the master pages.

    Resize master page in UI – top left corner selected:
    app.activeDocument.masterSpreads[0].pages[0].resolve(AnchorPoint.TOPLEFTANCHOR,CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES)[0];
    › 0.0

    Resize master page in UI – bottom right corner selected:
    app.activeDocument.masterSpreads[0].pages[0].resolve(AnchorPoint.TOPLEFTANCHOR,CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES)[0];
    › 28.3464566929137.48.1889763764252

    After the IDML export, guides are also partially displaced. See attached screenshots. Whereby here also the order of the sample pages in the page panel plays a role, thus:

    Page Panel

    A-Master Page
    B-Master Page

    or

    B-Master Page
    A-Master Page

16. [ID-4245419]Auto-Sizing of text frames results in abnormally long widths

    InDesign 2023 v18.1 (Probably occurs in all versions after CS6)
    Japanese Version
    English Version
    Mac snd Windows

    There is a terrible bug in Auto-Sizing for text frames that causes the width to become unusually long.

    Simple and reliable reproduction procedure

    1. Create a new document
    2. Set all units to points in Preferences
    3. Create a new text frame
    4. Set paragraph style to “Basic Paragraph” and clear overrides
    5. Set Auto-Sizing
       -->Change to “Height and Width” --> Click the upper left corner -->Turn on “No Line Breaks”
    6. Insert Spacing to 1 pt
    7. Corner Options to 1 pt and Round
    8. Enter “0 [Line Break]” repeatedly (about 20 times) in the text frame

    Workaround

    Set Columns
    -->Change to “Flexible Width”
    -->Set Maximum to a very large value (like 1000 pt)

    There is a similar post. My comment was not accepted here for some reason, so I posted a new one.
    https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/32214574-auto-size-text-boxes-with-rounded-corners-expands

    テキストフレームの自動サイズ調整で、幅が異様に長くなってしまう酷いバグがあります。

    5. 自動サイズ調整を設定する -->「高さと幅」に変更 -->左上角をクリック -->「改行なし」をチェックON
    6. フレーム内マージンを「1pt」にする
    7. コーナーオプションを「1pt」「角丸（外側）」にする
    8. テキストフレームに「0［改行］」を繰り返し（20回くらい）入力する

17. Pages navigation jumping two pages at a time

    I've got a strange bug on a 100 single pages document. Sometimes (twice this week) when I'm using the shortcut Fn-option-up/down arrow to jump to the next page, inDesign will jump 2 pages at a time.

    It will behave like this until I double click on a page in the pages panel.

    Weird and annoying, but not sure I can reproduce.

18. Make it possible to paste a color code containing a # character

    Please make it possible to paste a HEX color text string containing a hash character (e.g. "#ffffff"), into the the small text box in the color panel.
    At least on Mac, it is not possible in Indesign 20.1. Very annoying.

19. Links palette issue

    Hi there;

    I'm encountering a bug with the "Links" palette. Specifically, for a long list of links, the "Link info" panel doesn't preview properly, but rather overlaps the main list of links. Similarly, if a link alphabetically appears towards the bottom of the list, it isn't possible to select it from the Links palette.

    Hoping this can be fixed with the next INDD update?!

20. blank screen when switching displays

    When I have a file open in InDesign 2025 on my MacBook Pro (14-inch, Nov 2023, 15.3.1) and switch between using the built-in display and an external monitor, the document view becomes completely black/blank, though all toolbars remain visible and functional.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Open a file in InDesign on a MacBook Pro.
    2. Close the MacBook lid, connect to an external monitor, and wake the computer.
    3. The InDesign window stays open, toolbars are visible, but the artwork area is completely blank.
    4. Selecting all (Cmd + A) reveals bounding boxes, but no image or text is visible.

    This also happens in reverse:
    • If I’m working on an external monitor, then unplug it and open the MacBook to work, the same issue occurs.
    • My MacBook is always closed when connected to an external display, and I use an external keyboard and trackpad.

    Expected Result:
    • The document area should remain visible and fully functional when switching between the MacBook’s display and an external monitor without needing to restart InDesign.

    Actual Result:
    • The document area turns black/blank, preventing any interaction with the artwork.
    • Toolbars, menus, and selection boxes remain functional, but the contents of the document are completely invisible.

    Temporary Workaround:
    • Saving the file, quitting InDesign, and reopening fixes the issue temporarily.

    Additional Info:
    • OS, external display firmware, and InDesign are all up to date and have been happening for over a year.
    • Issue persists across different external monitors.
    • Unclear if this is an Adobe or macOS issue.

    There is a thread here with other people having the same exact issue:
