1. background

   Background colors (that should just be white) go crazy on tables and other pages until InDesign is quit and re-opened. There's no specific action that seems to trigger the issue, and it appears intermittently. This is happening on version 16.4.0.54.

2. InCopy assignment names don't change with file name

   Backstory:
   We have particularly formatted files that we use to create new versions for new products. The copy isn't created new, but modified from the old version that was already used in InCopy.

   The Issue:
   My InCopy guy FREAKS OUT when he sees the name of the assignment assets (attached screenshot) are that of a previous project not at all related to the file he's currently working on.

   The Long and Complicated Solutions:
   I know there's a way in InCopy to rename these, but it's long, complicated and outside of a standard workflow. A shorter and easier method would be to create a new text object and copy/paste the text there. But that's still not ideal.

   An Ideal Solutions? (if ever at all possible):
   The actual Assignment name (that starts as "Assignment 1") can be changed by simply double clicking it form the assignments panel if you neglected to change it when the assignment was created. Could assets also get that treatment maybe?

   Any simple fixes would be helpful.

3. jpeg vs jpg

   1. InDesign (21.2) , Illustrator (30.2.1), Dropbox 243.4.6956, MacOS 15.7.4, M4 Macbook Pro Max
   2. Linked files with JPEG extensions within an Illustrator file (.ai), that are placed into an InDesign Document, initially show up, but then disappear if the Illustrator file is edited after being placed within an InDesign Document. 3/4. Linked JPEG files should appear in the InDesign file, but disappear.
   3. It appears as though saving the JPEG file as a JPG file solves the issue, but this has never been an issue in the past. It's a problem with 100's of legacy InDesign Documents if i need to go back and resave as jpg files.

4. Jumbled Text

   I'm having an issue with catalogs I'm working with. When I open the most recent version of an INDD file, there is jumbled text in the headings and subheadings, even though the PDF exported fine when the file was last opened. Advice?

5. Publish Online Effects Not Displaying

   I've published my document online, and when I do the image overlay isn't showing. It just shows my color block, but not the image below.

   It displays properly in the thumbnail preview though. See attachment for behavior issues.

   How do I resolve this?

6. Share for Review Unreliable

   I love the share for review function, however it is proving too unreliable to be used in a professional setting.

   Here are the issues that my team and I encountered on a regular basis:

   Review comment window is blank
   Updating sharing link freezes program
   Review page in browser won't load (spinning circle of death)
   Document in browser glitches and jumps around when trying to navigate
   

   These are pretty serious issues that need to be resolved. I like the innovation, but in order to make it part of our process, reliability is the most important aspect.

7. Object states button disappears after click

   In a multi-state object, the button that activates the MSO disappears after being clicked. No where in the settings have I told it to disappear after being clicked.

   Version: I'm running InDesign 16.3.2 (though I downgraded to 16.2 and am still having the problem)
   Steps to reproduce issue:
   I created the MSO using buttons/forms and the object states panel. Close button should revert back to original state (star).
   Expected Result: Button should reappear.
   Actual Result: Button is gone after click.

   Video of ePub preview attached.

   The problem is both in the ePub preview and when published online.

8. InDesign doesn't import files

   Hi !
   So my issue is that InDesign doesn't allow me to import files, whether they are .jpg, .png or .eps, or else. I need to use a logo that I have in .png, but InDesign doesn't allow me to select my file to import.

9. Accessibility Alternate Text Issues in Acrobat

   The file is designed where certain graphic elements are grouped together to make editing easier for others. In this case, horizontal dividers are made from two basic rectangles and a text box, grouped together.

   Each rectangle shape is tagged as "horizontal divider" in the export options for accessibility. When I export to PDF and run the full accessibility check, I'm told that the group failed the "figures alternate text" test.

   I then apply alternate text to the group in the export options. I run the full accessibility check in Acrobat and I am told that everything inside the group failed the "nested alternate text" test.

   I remove the alternate text from the rectangles, export, run the full accessibility test, and I'm told the rectangles failed the "figures alternate text" test.

   The bug is that no matter how the file is set up, it can't pass the full accessibility test. If I include the alt text, I get an error that alt text is nested and that I need to remove the alt text. When I remove the alt text, I get an error saying that alt text is needed. I either get one error or the other.

   While this could be fixed in Acrobat if it were a one or two page document, these horizontal rules exist across hundreds of pages and there should be a way to set it up in InDesign so that they export with the correct alternate text applied to them so it passes the accessibility full check.

10. Indesign exporting PNG, colours look off

    Trying to export some PNGs with RGB colour for web but every time I export the colours look CMYK. Had no issues yesterday, haven't tweaked with any settings since. I saw they fixed the yellow streak bug but maybe now this is a new issue. Anyone else?

    Left, what it should look like. Right, what it keeps exporting as.

12. I have Adobe InDesign 14.0.2 x64, and my book chapters keep showing a spinning wheel when i try to make any change

    I have Adobe InDesign 14.0.2 x64, and my book chapters keep showing a spinning wheel when i try to make any change. Say I need to add one letter, after doing so the ball has to spin 10 times until i can do anything else. This is extremely time consuming and is wasting my time when I have to wait 2 minutes after any tiny change before I can make another. I have seen others posting issues about this over a year ago. All fixes people have suggested do nothing for me. Please help.
    In reading that it could be cross references causing the issue, i opened chapters to which my current chapter refers, and i still get the spinning ball, but not for as long.

13. [ID-4277180]InDesign v21.2.0.030 crashes on quit in SubProcess

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
    Adobe InDesign 2026, Version 21.2.0.30 (Build 21200)
    Running on macOS 26.2 (25C56) on Apple Silicon (Mac14,2, 16 GB RAM)
    Steps to reproduce the issue
    1. Launch Adobe InDesign 2026.
    2. Open any document (or create a new blank document).
    3. Work normally for a while, or even do nothing.
    4. Choose “InDesign > Quit InDesign” or press Cmd+Q.
    5. Confirm quitting if prompted.
    Expected result
    InDesign quits cleanly without any error message and returns to the macOS desktop.
    Actual result
    • InDesign crashes on quit every time.
    • macOS shows a crash dialog stating that “Adobe InDesign 2026 quit unexpectedly” (or similar wording).
    • The macOS crash report shows:
    • Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
    • Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 6, “Abort trap: 6”
    • Crash is triggered in Thread 10.
    • This happens even after:
    • Resetting InDesign preferences on launch.
    • Deleting InDesign caches and preference folders in the user Library.
    • Completely uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign via Creative Cloud.
    • Testing in a brand-new macOS user account.
    Additional context
    • The same InDesign version (21.2.0.30) on my previous Mac and macOS version did not show this problem; the issue started only after migrating to the new Mac (same InDesign version, newer macOS).
    • No third‑party plug‑ins are installed (or all third‑party plug‑ins have been removed for testing).
    • The crash occurs regardless of which document is open; even a new, empty document triggers the crash on quit.

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
    Adobe InDesign 2026, Version 21.2.0.30 (Build 21200)
    Running on macOS 26.2 (25C56) on Apple Silicon (Mac14,2, 16 GB RAM)

15. Won't let me scale gradient panel up/down

    Indesign won't allow me to scale the gradient panel up or down, it is stuck at a constant size which makes it hard/impossible to work with complicated gradients. The issue doesn't appear to be on any other panel that i'm using.

16. dark interface &

    Appearance dark theme not matching the settings or OS. I selected dark theme but pasteboard and window top bar light grey. It should be uniform dark.

    Other issue is workspaces often does not show up after launching app requiring me to select a workspace other than my custom setting to show up on screen and only then can I select my custom workspace to have it show up. If I select my custom workspace right away after launch when no windows or tools show up nothing happens the screen stays without any panels or tools. Clearly a bug

17. Massive Graphics Glitches

    OSX 12.4
    InDesign 17.3
    2019 Retina 5K iMac 19,1 w/64 GB RAM

    This issue seems to persist despite the most current updates. At first, I thought my video card was dying, but as it does not happen with any other product I feel it is strictly an InDesign issue.

    This most often happens when I am close up working on a document. Sometimes I might nudge the view (either accidentally or on purpose) and the screen redraws with massive sections missing or rendering in bizarre geometric patterns. If I scroll away and come back... it's fine.

    This appeared to be happening much more often with ID 17.2 and I was hoping 17.3 addressed this problem. For a short while it appeared like it was fixed. But, soon enough...it happened again. Not at the same rate, but enough that it is just unacceptable for a subscription product.

    As I said this occurs on and off in two specific ways. One, usually when there is a quick movement of the screen forcing a small redraw. And two, when you are close up (although on a rare occasion it does happen at full screen). The patterns are pretty severe, although that too tends to vary. I am attaching a screenshot of one of the most recent severe occurrences.

    Hi,
    Can you add a video showing the issue? and some steps to reproduce the issue…
    We are unable to reproduce this bug.
    Are you on MAC or Win? Does it happen with all documents?
    You can add a video to WeTransfer/Dropbox etc and add a link here as comment.

    Also, please confirm if your issue is similar to one mentioned here.. https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/31964464-blending-effects
