  1. Clicking on image doesn't show it in the Links panel

    Clicking on an image within a frame doesn't show it in the Links panel, so I have to scroll through the list of links to find the image - This sometimes works, sometimes does not.

  2. Master pages populate page panel in wrong order

    When dragging more than one master page to the pages panel, the masters populate in descending order instead of ascending order (for example, Masters A, B, C populate in pages panel as C, B, A.)

    I'm able to consistently replicate this error on two different computers running different versions (INDD 15.0.3 and 15.1.1)

  3. Copy and Paste from Share for Review Comments panel not working

    You used to be able to copy/paste directly from the REVIEW panel COMMENT when you receive feedback. Now it won't allow you to copy what someone has reviewed and suggested as replacement text. This is very important as it makes it much more efficient to copy it from within InDesign rather than swapping between screens to do it from the browser. Please can you fix this! Thank you!

  4. Hypertextual link panel doesn't work properly

    Hypertextual link panel: in 2024 version when I add a long URL selecting it from the text and using the "+" button, it doesn't add all the selected text but only some chars. You have to double click the row in the panel and add the rest of the link in the field

  5. Table Stroke adjusment panel

    On the Table Stroke adjustment panel, the thin blue lines are difficult to see for someone with color deficient vision or reduced visual acuity. I suggest increasing the width of the highlighted stroke to indicate which are selected.

  7. InDesign 2023 crashing when using links panel

    Though it rights itself occasionally, this happens only when I use the links panel. I am having to cmd-D to import, but that is adding lots of time I don't have.

    Restarts of both InDesign and my latest model MacBook Pro are not fixing this.

    What can I do?

    CLOSED  ·  Abhinav Kaushik responded

    Thank you for sharing the feedback with us.
    Please note that the design axes names are provided within the font itself, therefore the translated string for these axes names cannot be displayed unless the font designer has incorporated it in the font.

    However, Adobe Illustrator explicitly translates 5 predominantly used design axes names(Weight, Width, Slant, etc.), but this does not seems appropriate for fonts having more than 5 design axes(like Amstelva Alpha which has 16 axes).

    Hence the attribute names are not translated.

    Thanks,
    InDesign Team

  12. "paragraph style options" window size

    Paragraph Style Options window opens bigger than my screen (regardless of the size screen I'm working on) and there is no way to resize the window or set the default size of the window? In order to work with Paragraph Styles, I am constantly having to move the window around so I can see all the options there, then move it again to see the preview in my document.

    WHY CAN'T WE RESIZE THIS WINDOW? There's no reason it needs to be this large; most of the space is blank.

  13. CC2018 Swatch panel bug

    The InDesign CC 2018 swatch panel displays different sets of swatches when set to different view options. “Small name” seems the most complete. Swatches are missing with the other settings especially after opening a document from a previous version of InDesign.

  14. Mouse Lags when Browsing Over Pages Panel

    When mousing over the pages panel, the mouse movements slow to a crawl. Mousing over the rest of InDesign UI is fine and acts as expected; it is only when trying to navigate the pages panel; at this point the cursor slows down and becomes difficult to move around.

  15. Problem with layer panel

    Version 13.1.1.110
    Dots allowing to select objects on layers panel disappear although it was supposed to be fixed. Reinitializing preferences work but is not a lasting solution since this occurs on tens of machines. We cannot upgrade to version 14 or 15 for now.

  17. Not all Color Panel menus accessible via keyboard shortcut

    When setting a custom keyboard shortcuts, there is no option for

    Panel Menus > Color: HSB

    And other color models. Those should be added. All panel menu items should be available consistently.

  18. Can't Rename Objects in Layers Panel on MacOS Big Sur

    Adobe Indesign 16.1, macOS Big Sur 11.2.3

    I cannot rename objects or layers in the layers panel. I've attached a video of the typical triple-click method and all you see is a quick flash of the editing mode but it is never actually able to be edited.

  19. Window freezes

    the indesign document window tends to freeze, I can fix it by creating a new window for the document and closing the old one. But it's pretty annoying, as you can imagine.

  20. Using Arrow Keys in Transform Panel/Control Panel no longer works properly - ID 20.0.

    Using Arrow Keys in Transform Panel/Control Panel no longer works properly - ID 20.0.

    Since upgrading to ID 2025 (20.0) using the arrow keys in Transform Panel or Control Panel no longer works properly. Previously I would scale something larger/smaller using the arrow (or Shift+Arrow): 110%, 120%, 130% ... .
    Now with Shift+ArrowUp it will first scale 110%, then the cursor is no longer in the Scale Percentage Field. Second Shift+Arrow click and instead the Object will Flip Vertical. Third Shift+Arrow and it will start moving up the page.

    Now to scale up another 10% I have to replace…
