1. [ID-4256547] InDesign 2025 Won't Lock "Constrain Proportions"

   When creating a frame, rectangle, any object, or selecting any other object, InDesign 2025 will not keep Constrain Proportions locked when the lock icon is clicked on the control bar.

   The user now has to click it while they select each object and want to scale an object by scaling either the width or height.

   I didn't notice this at first, but found out from a Reddit post.

2. [ID-4251249] Exiting Presentation Mode changes Application's Window size at higher UI Scaling when connected to external monitor.

   InDesign's Window size set by user prior to entering Presentation mode is not retained upon exiting from Presentation mode when connected to external monitor and with the UI Scaling set to other than Small setting.
   InDesign's window becomes fullscreen.
   It would be great to get back to same size and position.

3. [ID-4272089]Grouped objects does not go back to original layers when ungrouped if 'Ungroup Remembers Layer' is enabled

   1. Version of Adobe InDesign is v21.0
   2. Create several layers, put an object on each layer, make sure that 'Ungroup Remembers Layers' is checked, group all objects, and ungroup.
   3. Expected result: all objects remain on the layer they were on before they were grouped.
   4. Actual results: all objects are on the top layer or the highest layer on which there was an object that was within the group

   In my opinion this should be treated as a hotfix. This is ruining the workflow and messes up the files that then need to either be fixed or rolled back to previous versions. I cannot state how urgent this is, it is absurd that a basic option such as this one is suddenly broken.

4. Serious problem of "^" for GREP search

   Enter only "^" in the GREP search string field and click the search button to select the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph. But this cannot be used for replacement. The replacement result is 0.
   I gave up that it was only useful for simple pointing tricks, but when I run it from a script the application hangs.

   It is like this. (When executed, the rainbow cursor will rotate forever.
   Please be careful. )

   app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^";
   var res = app.activeDocument.findGrep ();

   If the replacement string field is "~ c" (the contents of the clipboard), the first character is lost from the original text instead of entering it.
   This is also a very dangerous behavior.

   Requests for improvement include:
   Improved to prevent hang when executing the above script,
   If possible, replace text (add a character string to the beginning of a paragraph).

   GREP検索文字列の欄に"^"だけを入力、検索ボタンをクリックすると、段落の先頭の挿入点が選択されます。しかしこれを置換には利用できません。置換結果は0個となります。
   単なるポインティングの小技にしか役に立たないと諦めていましたが、これをスクリプトから実行するとアプリケーションがハングアップします。

   こんな具合です。（実行するとレインボーカーソルが永遠に回転します。
   ご注意ください。）

   app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^";
   var res = app.activeDocument.findGrep();

   また、置換文字列の欄が"~c"（クリップボードの内容）などの場合、それが入る代わりに元のテキストから先頭の1文字が失われます。
   これも非常に危険な挙動であると言えます。

   改善の要望としては、
   上記のようなスクリプトを実行した際にハングアップしないよう改善、
   そして可能であればテキストを置換（段落の先頭に文字列を追加）できるよう改善。

5. 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)

   Happening across regional team of 20+ users all working on the same Windows version and similar computers (Lenovo)

6. No keyboard focus on launch

   InDesign 14.0.1.209, macOS Mojave 10.14.2

   When launched and the following conditions hold, InDesign does not seem to have keyboard focus (i.e.., no keyboard shortcuts work):

   1. Show ‘Start’ Workspace When No Documents Are Open is unticked.
   2. The Control bar is open in the default workspace.
   3. The CC Libraries panel is either not in the default workspace or collapsed.

   Note that conditions 2 and 3 are met by several of the standard workspace, for example both Advanced and Typography (but not Book, Essentials or Essentials Classic).

   If you choose a menu item or click in an input field, the app gains keyboard focus. Otherwise you seem to be able to type endlessly without any discernible effect.

7. InDesign opens documents in read only after upgrading to InDesign 2023(18.0)

   Indesign CC 2023 version 18.0 Files open as “Read Only”
   As soon as updated, some files have started to open “Read Only” (RO)
   My OS: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19044 or 21H2
   PC Desktop
   I am working remotely through a VPN to a server IP address
   I have Indesign 2023 18.0 , and Indesign CS6 installed. I have not opened the CS6 in years. Also noted: My machine does not automatically uninstall the former version when it updates. I manually uninstalled Indesign 2022 after I started using the 2023. At first I thought the RO problem was a conflict, so that was the first thing I did.
   Older version files open up as “converted” ok
   I am able to do all writing on my remote server, I can “save as”, and export files, create folders, delete files, ect.
   If I copy a file that opens RO to my local desktop, I can then open it fine (read/write - RW). If I make changes to that file, save, and then copy it back to remote server, it will open as RO again.
   This does not seem to be happening to every file. I started working on 2 files yesterday, opened and made changes, saved, and closed both multiple times in the morning, then a couple hours later, they opened RO. Then another hour later, one of them opened ok -RW.
   I have a coworker that has the same PC OS Windows system version, and same Indesign version. We both access to the files through same VPN, he is just not in same location as me (about 20 miles away). However, his system automatically uninstalled older versions when it updates. He can open the same files that open RO for me, and they open fine, RW, for him.
   If I open a brand new blank file and I copy and paste all contents from a file that opened RO, then close the RO file and save my Untitled document over it, it will them open up ok when I go back immediately and open it. However, if I go back to open that file, say an hour later, It may or may not open up “Read Only” again.
   I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Indesign 2023, and checking to make sure updated. I have unplugged (reset) my modem.
   I cannot change my preferences for updates to uninstall older versions at this time as I have a graphics card issue with the latest version of Photoshop. I cannot go back to using Indesign 2022, as my cowerker has already been using 2023 for awhile and many files are converted.
   It seems to be intermittent, and almost like there is a problem with files not closing properly? Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

8. On Export - "Save As" name field not consistently highlighted by default

   1. 15.1.3 version
   2. Open InDesign, open file, click on a page, CMD E to export.
   3. Expect "SAVE AS" field highlighted to be able to change export name, as with previous versions.
   4. Sometimes nothing appears to be highlighted, taking hitting TAB several times to get to the "SAVE AS" field. However, sometimes it is highlighted - so this is not a consistant problem - as sometimes it does come up highlighted. It does seem that when I first open a file / export - that it is not highlighted, but after that, it does come up correctly highlighted.

   This is not a consistant problem, which is what makes it a problem. You never know if you can just type a new file name, or do you have to grab the mouse to get to the SAVE AS field, or try to TAB to the field, not really knowing how many times it takes to TAB over.

   Thank you!

10. CC2020: Alternate text for hyperlinks

    In CC2020 a new function for writing alternate text for links was introduced.
    Using this function and generating a PDF Leeds to wrong PDF notation. The alt text in PDF is presented by alt text, which is forbidden in the PDF world, where alt text only should be used for non text elements, e.g. pictures. By presenting only the alt text the accessibility is lost – this is against the goal to hav a better output!
    A correct output would lead to a content entry.

    Note: Alt text for links is under discussion, as such alt text is not present for all users (it would be read out loud, but you can't read it) – this is not about equal access.

    Thanks for fixing, this would be a good step for all people relying on accessible PDFs.

    Best, Klaas

13. With Adjust Layout ON, Text Frames shrink to extremely tiny size on changing Margins.

    I am working in Adobe InDesign CC 2019 14.0.1. When I have a manuscript already flowed into my document and try to adjust the margins on the master page with Adjust Layout enabled, when the new margins are applied to the document, all the existing text boxes "disappear." From what I can tell, they have been resized down to an infinitely small point in the middle of the spread. Obviously, this is not useful. I used to be able to adjust the margins across an entire book-length document in one go with layout adjustment, and the text on every page would be re-fit to the new margins. The attached screenshots show the before and after on a spread (you can see the tiny text box in the middle in the after).

    Am I missing a step here, or is this a bug?

14. Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders.

    I can't even open InDesign anymore, I keep getting an error message that says "Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders. Ensure that you have appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign." I've changed permissions on every folder and file to "Read & Write" that I thought would help make it work but nothing is working. I was trying to open the latest version of ID, even undownloaded and tried using CC 2017 to no avail. I need this fixed ASAP.

    Please let me know what other information you need.

15. Publish Online URL links breaking website functionality

    File Created in Indesign CC 2017

    I have created a test interactive document with links to product DG012 on our company website.

    https://indd.adobe.com/view/da74b2d3-46b2-40cf-99e2-8201ddc6248a

    When the link is clicked from publish online it opens the page but seems to disable all scripts that run on the website. e.g. search field and add to cart no longer functions on that page.

    The website itself functions correctly if you navigate to the link manually ( http://www.lockhart.co.uk/Table-Service-and-Buffet/Buffet-Display/Display-Stands/Rafters-F usion-1-2-Board~p~DG012 ).

    Interestingly in safari the add to cart button functions but the search field is still disabled.

    On closer inspection it seems to be an iframe issue -
    If I go into chrome developer tools i get the following errors:

    The key "target-densitydpi" is not supported.

    castsender.js:76 Uncaught DOMException: Failed to construct 'PresentationRequest': The document is sandboxed and lacks the 'allow-presentation' flag.

    Rafters-Fusion-1-2-Board~p~DG012:1 Blocked form submission to '/search' because the form's frame is sandboxed and the 'allow-forms' permission is not set.

    When clicked the link opens in a new window so I am not sure how to go about editing the code behind the sandbox element.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

16. [ID-4222229]Exporting to ePub (reflowable) when document has endnotes containing hyperlinks causes InDesign to hang

    Version of Adobe InDesign: 15.1.2 / macOS 10.15.6

    Steps to reproduce the issues: When exporting a document with endnotes containing hyperlinks to ePub (reflowable), InDesign hangs and needs to be force quit. Have tested removing all hyperlinks to tests, and document exports correctly. Have tested putting hyperlinks outside of endnotes and document exports correctly. The bug is specific to hyperlinks which are part of the endnote text.

    Expected result: Successful export with endnotes reciprocally linked to text, and hyperlinks in endnote text active to respective URLs.

    Actual result: InDesign hangs and needs to be force quit.

17. Data Merge function "Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields" deletes the wrong paragraph

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server

    Adobe InDesign 15.0.1

    macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

    iMac 27 Zoll End 2012

    Steps to reproduce the issues

    See also attached video

    Open Document "02VKLeerzeilenTEMPEnde.indd"
    Open Data-Merge Panel
    Generate a merged document with click on the button
    Uncheck "Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields" in Content Placement Options
    Press [OK]
    Repeat Step 3 this time Check "Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields" in Content Placement Options
    Press [OK]
    Put the documents side by side
    Activate "Show Style override" in the paragraph panel
    Jump to page 2
    On the left side (Merged Document, Blank line intact) you can see the 2 markers followed by a paragraph symbol
    On the right side (Merged Document, Blank line removed) you can see that the 2 markers with paragraph symbol moved 1 line up behind the 7 and the other paragraph symbol is deleted
    Everything is o.k. because the paragraph style (07padresse) of the line "Mobile" and the deleted "Blank line" are the same
    Jump to page 3
    On the left side you can see the 2 markers followed by a paragraph symbol
    On the right side (Merged Document, Blank line removed) you can see that the 2 markers with paragraph symbol moved 1 line up and the other paragraph symbol (blue highlighted on the left side) is deleted BUT this time the paragraph style of these 2 paragraph are NOT the same! The result is a bigger gap between the two sentence "Frau Marie…" and Tel: 012…" on the right then it should be as you can see on the left

    Expected result
    The Blank line (2 markers and paragraph symbol) should be deleted/removed

    Actual result
    Instead of the Blank line (2 markers and paragraph symbol) the paragraph symbol before that (blue highlighted on the left side) is removed AND the remaining paragraph also picks up the paragraph style from the "Blank line" (if there were text in my example you could see that as well)

    Workaround
    You can generate a merged document with Blank lines and delete/remove them with Find/Change
    Find > (markers) + paragraph symbol = <FEFF><FEFF>^p
    Change > to nothing
    This way everything stays intact!

19. [ID-4256546]Bug when setting an even number as the start page number in a new document.

    Bug when setting an even number for the start page number when creating a new document

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign
       CC2025 (ver. 20.0) JP

    2. Steps to reproduce the issues
       Set any even number for the start page number on the Create New Document screen.

    3. Expected result
       An even page number will be displayed in Current Page Number as set.

    4. Actual resul
       The value set in the New Document screen will not be reflected, and “Current Page Number” will display “1”.

    As shown in the attached figure, when “Current Page Number” is inserted into a new document with the starting page number set to an even number, the document starts with “1”.
    (As long as the number set in the new document creation screen is an even number, any value will not be reflected and will become “1”).

    This phenomenon can be recovered by temporarily setting a different value in “Number & Section Option”.
    However, for users who are not aware of this behavior, it is sure to cause great confusion.
    It can also cause significant time loss in finding a solution.
    We have not been able to verify whether this bug is specific to the Japanese version, but we recognize that it is a very serious bug.
    We sincerely hope that the development team will fix it as soon as possible.

    <Japanese Comment>
    新規ドキュメント作成で開始ページ番号に偶数番号を設定すると発生する不具合

    InDesignのバージョン
    CC2025 (ver.20.0) JP

    問題の再現手順
    新規ドキュメント作成画面で、開始ページ番号に任意の偶数を設定する。

    予想される結果
    「現在のページ番号」に、設定通りの偶数ページ番号が表示される。

    実際の結果
    新規ドキュメント画面で設定した値は反映されず、「現在のページ番号」に「1」が表示される。

    添付画像のように、開始ページ番号を偶数番号に設定した新規ドキュメントに、「現在のページ番号」を挿入すると「1」から開始されます。
    （新規ドキュメント作成画面で設定した番号が偶数である限り、いかなる値であっても反映されず「1」となる）

    この現象は「ページ番号とセクションの設定」で、一時的に別の値を設定すれば回復します。
    しかしこの挙動を認識していないユーザーにとって、大きな混乱を招く原因となることは間違いありません。
    また、解決策を見つけるために大きな時間のロスを生む可能性があります。
    この不具合は日本語版固有の問題なのかは検証できていませんが、非常に深刻なバグであると認識しています。
    開発チームには早急に改善していただくよう切に希望します。
