1. InDesign 16.0.1 can't recover file from crash

   Running InDesign 16.0.1 on Catalina. Mac workstation connected SMB to Windows server.

   InDesign crashes shortly after working in a different program and returning to InDesign. Report the crash then try to reopen InDesign from doc icon (or CC). It crashes again. Report, reopen from doc icon (or CC, or in applications folder). Get error message that InDesign crashed trying to load the recovery file, can't locate the recovery file. In order to open InDesign I must click "no" to not try to recover the file.

   I have reset preferences, created a new workspace (instead of using previous version's saved workspace), uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

   Mostly returning to InDesign from Chrome – Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (x86_64). Or from Photoshop 22.1.

   The recovery folder has 70 files from Oct.-Dec. 2020.

   Attached are screenshots of the crash reports and the error message from InDesign. There was only one doc open and it was saved with a filename, there was no "untitled" file open.

2. Publish Online roll over bug

   I'm using InDesign 2021 version 16.0.

   I seem to be running into an issue with the roll over effect in Publish Online. The issue seems sporadic, but once the bug happens, it doesn't fix itself.

   I've setup a timeline so that when you roll over the date, info will be visible. This works initially, but then when I try to go back to some dates that I've previously rolled over, the info does not show up. Expected result is to have the info shown when you roll over the date. Actual result shows that the button to trigger the roll over changes to it's roll over state but the info is not visible.

   See attached PNGs. Note that the date is supposed to be blue when mouse hovers over.

3. Paragraph Style Panel Not Showing All Styles

   Bug: Paragraph Style Panel does not show all styles, when scrolling I cannot get beyond the 43rd paragraph style, the scroll stops at that point. Multiple restarts and reordering the list by name did not clear the issue. This also appears to be in the Based On Paragraph selection when creating a new paragraph style.

4. Cannot place EPS image in empty box

   InDesign 14.0.1.209
   Mac OSX 10.14.3

   Placing an EPS file generated from "Barcode" (by AppsForLife) does not work properly if the target box is empty. If box already contains a graphic, the file will place properly via "Place" or drag+drop.

   On a new image box or box where the existing image has been deleted, the following occurs (via Place or drag+drop):

   Image will seem to appear in the target box. Once mouse button is released, the imported image is no longer in the box and the pointer changes to a "placement selector" prompting to place the image in a new box.

   Working with the developer of the software that generates these EPS files seems to track the issue to a line in the EPS file. Removing the line that begins "%%HiResBoundingBox" in a text editor causes the EPS file to behave correctly.

   The developer has issued an update to their software that seems to fix this issue.

   Other in the Adobe discussion have tested the attached file. They have been able to repeat the problem on OS X 10.14 (Mojave) but not earlier MacOS or Windows installs.

   Although the issue seems to be corrected with the EPS software update, it was suggested I file a report here.

   I am unable to attach a sample file as .EPS is not permitted.

6. Multiple Issues

   I've noticed three glitches very recently in Adobe InDesign 2025. #1 - Seems like every other time I open the print dialog box to select the printer I want to use, the printers are in a different order in the list. #2 - Often times, when I open a document, my keyboard shortcuts won't work. I have to close the document and then re-open it to get them to work. #3 - Most frustrating is, I start to create a new document. I enter the document size into the New Document window and when I hit the Create button and it opens, the document is a completely different size than what I entered.

7. A problem about converting right-to-left text to the newest version

   Hello,
   I have been using Indesign v18.5 and created a lot of documents for a book in Hebrew and Arabic.
   My paragraph styles have the property "Character Direction: Default" which, of course, organized my text as RTL for Hebrew and Arabic, and LTR for English text.
   After converting the documents to the newest version (v19.0), some (and only some) of the punctuation marks (such as ".", "!", "?") and even some of the spaces, were placed in a wrong manner: to the right side of the text, instead of being placed to the left of the text as they are supposed to be.

   I noticed that when I apply "Character Direction: Right-to-left" they get back to the right position, but I can't do that for all of the text, because I also have English text in the book. I also noticed that when I delete these punctuation marks and write them again the issue gets fixed for most of the cases. I can't do that manually because there are a lot of cases like that and I have over 30 documents.

   I can't attach the Indesign document with the issue, so I am adding a screenshot of it. Let me know how I can provide more information or an indesign document with the issue.

   Thanks,

   Nadav

8. Importing swatches: The colors are not in the correct order

   (Adobe InDesign 2021 16.1)

   When I import color swatches from another InDesign doc, the order of the swatches are reversed within the folders in the swatch pallette.

   When I import color swatches from an ase-file, the tint colors are missing.

   Even though this is a minor issue, I really hope it can be fixed.

   Thank you.

10. Design disappears in workspace, only selections are visible

    This issue seems to happen out of nowhere. Sometimes when revisiting InDesign, sometimes when zooming in or out. My whole design disappears into the workspace, only showing the selections when I click them.

    The only fix for now is saving and restarting InDesign, but it's very inconvenient.

    I am using macOS Sonoma 14.1, and InDesign 18.5.1.

11. Bug: When mapping styles to tags and overriding all parent page items text boxes resize on M1 macbook pro

    This bug only happens on my M1 Max MacBook pro. I have InDesign (17.2.1) fully updated to the latest version and my MacBook is also fully updated to the latest version. I have had this issue on previous versions since having the M1 mac. This also happens when overriding all parent page items.

    When I map styles to tags it resizes some of the text boxes. I have an iMac pro that I have tested this on and it doesn't happen. I have also had other people open it on various apple computers and it isn't an issue.

    I have also noticed it when opening some InDesign files that were created in the same InDesign version just on non-M1 chip computers. There is no consistency with these, so I can't give specifics.

12. Scroll bars and status bar disappear in InCopy

    InCopy scrollbars and status bar (page navigation) disappear and there doesn't seem to be an identifiable way of turning these back on. Working on a corporate device so cannot test the 'Run as administrator' fix that is suggested on another forum online.

    Scrollbars and status bars are available on start up but disappear if you use the zoom tools, the device sleeps, or if you are active in another window (e.g. a browser) for some time (not sure precisely how long). Closing and reopening the program fixes the issue, but it is irritating to have to check in all stories, close, reopen and restart the workflow just to be able to navigate the document. Switching between layout and galley/story view does not affect the issue. Windows, InCopy v19.3

13. type tool behaves as selection tool

    Hello guys, I'm experimenting this issue in which the Type tool is behaving as the selection tool.

    Instead of selecting text, by double-clicking or click and drag, it just moves the text frame around. Double click is not highlighting the text either.

    I'm running Indesign 16.1.0.20 on Big Sur 11.2.1

    Thanks

15. Display bug – garbled font randomly show up

    Font display bug – garbled font weirdness

    InDesign 16.4 on macOS Big Sur 11.5.1

    When flipping through pages I get this strange font display issue. See screenshots.
    It happens randomly. Not on every page but at least once every 10 pages.

    I can simply turn preview on and off or go to the next page and back to make the page behove normally again but this should not be necessary.

    This happens with all fonts.
    This happens every day.
    This happens on my colleagues computers as well. They are running various versions of indesign of various version of MacOS.
    This has been happening in at least the last three or four versions of InDesign.

    And, yes, we have tried resetting preferences, restarting, reinstalling, etc

    Any explanation for this stange behaviour?

16. Font appearance issues in Id 2018

    I have recently purchase a new Mac. Running High Sierra 10.13.2 and Id 2018. Any time I open a file with Helvetica in it the font is garbled. Is this one of the issues that people have been experiencing with the upgrade to High Sierra? How can this be fixed?

    I can't downgrade my operating system as the computer is brand new and I need to use this computer for work. Any help would be much appreciated.

18. Share for review won't update link with Indesign version 17.0.1

    I've tried quitting, signing out of Adobe, restarting my computer, exporting PDFs and more and nothing seems to solve this issue. I only have been experiencing this consistently with the latest version. I'm on a Mac with Big Sur version 11.5.2 as well and it's not limited to one document, it happens for the majority of my documents.

20. Key Inputs being duplicated.

    Just started today, but one on longer document, key inputs keep repeating sporadically. Selecting with arrow keys will select two characters instead of one, pasting will paste twice, moving between pages will jump two pages instead of one.

    Running MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 on 2014 15" MBP 16gb, so I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue or not.
