1. AI Generated Alt Text Overriding Manual Alt Text

   I have Generative AI disabled on my Mac and had manually entered alt-text on 2 images. Another user in my organisation, who had not disabled it, made some minor text amends on my file and my atl-text was overwritten.

   I feel that any image that already has alt-text manually added should not be altered by this feature.

   Also it would be good that when the feature is turned on it could have an option to only affect images added to the Articles Panel as that is the most common way of setting the tag order.

2. close

   Freezes when I try to close the program. It will either not close at all, no matter how many force stops/close buttons I hit, or it will completely crash instead of closing safely.

3. Ongoing performance issues with large InDesign files

   We’re running into frequent slowdowns and crashes when working with large InDesign documents (lots of pages, linked assets, complex styles, long text flows). It’s happening across multiple machines, not just one setup.
   At Tech Formation, we support teams that depend on InDesign for real production work, and these issues are starting to affect delivery timelines and workflows.
   It would be great to know whether this is a known issue and whether there’s any workaround or logging we can enable to help diagnose it.

4. Show Import Options no longer stays checked

   The "show import options" box will not stay checked in the "Place" window. Sometimes it does stay checked for one or two items but if you are importing more than that it will not stay checked.

   Previously it stayed checked until the next time that inDesign was restarted. This may seem minor but is an extreme inconvenience and severely hindering workflow.

   Version: 20.5

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. While working in document, Control+D (or "File>Place")
   2. Sees "Show Import Options" is unchecked, check box
   3. Place object
   4. Control+D to place new object
   5. Sees "Show Import Options" is unchecked AGAIN, re-check box
   6. Place new object
   7. Repeat ad nauseam

   Expected result: When "Show Import Options" is checked after first use, it will stay checked until the program is shut down and re-opened.

   Actual result: Not that.

5. Highlighting or Changing Text

   I’m experiencing an issue when highlighting text to delete it, changing the case, or switching fonts. The entire text, including the text above (on the same page), disappears. If I scroll up and then back down, I can make it reappear.

6. Find/Change saved queries lose numeric precision for indent values

   Version:
   Adobe InDesign 21.0.2
   macOS 26.2
   Issue also observed in much earlier versions (since CS5.5).
   Steps to reproduce:
   Create a document with paragraph units set to millimeters.
   Create a paragraph with a left indent of exactly 5 mm.
   Open Find/Change.
   In Find Text, set Left Indent to 5 mm by typing it manually.
   Run Find – the paragraph is found.
   Save this Find/Change query.
   Reload the saved query.
   Run Find again.
   Expected result:
   The saved query should find the same paragraphs as when the value is entered manually.
   Actual result:
   After reloading the saved query, the paragraph is not found.
   Additional details:
   Via the scripting API the difference can be observed.
   Manual entry via UI:
   app.findTextPreferences.leftIndent = 14.1732283464567
   After reloading saved query:
   app.findTextPreferences.leftIndent = 14.17322834
   The reduced numeric precision causes the query to fail.
   This appears to be a precision loss when persisting Find/Change query settings.
   The issue affects both UI and scripting workflows.
   Using paragraph or character styles does not prevent this issue, as it is related to how numeric values are stored and restored in saved queries.

   Version:
   Adobe InDesign 21.0.2

   Issue also observed in much earlier versions (since CS5.5).

7. [ID-4273263]With application frame "OFF", and multiple documents open InDesign 26 will resize them when switching between

   Before upgrading, I used to be able to have multipe .indd docs open next to a spreadsheet on my screen, now they automatically change size when I switch between them, seemingly "remembering" the state they were last resized to.

8. Save As, Export and import file locations not behaving after Mac OS Tahoe update

   Previously for many older versions of Indesign, Indesign will remember your document, PDF export and import locations.

   Save As would always take you to where your current document is, PDF export would take you to your last PDF export location for that particular document, and Import would take you to your last import location.

   Since upgrading to Mac OS Tahoe - all of this has gone haywire. Save As will sometimes take me to the last location of the PDF export, PDF export will sometimes take me to where the document is located. And import is the same. I am now saving documents in the wrong folder all the time, my PDFs are all mixed up, and now that I am aware of the problem I have to check and re-navigate everytime I Save As or Export or Import. It's slowing me down a huge amount and mistakes are still being made.

   This needs to be addressed and returned to the previous workflow settings ASAP!!!!!

10. GenAI Image location

    GenAI Images are automatically saved to the User's iCloud Documents folder. This causes a major issue if projects are shared with other users in that the GenAI Images may not get copied across, resulting in broken links.
    Another issue this creates is that if the User's iCloud storage is full, new images will not be created.
    There needs to be an option, either in the Preferences or the Links panel, for users to select where GenAI Images are stored.
    Please implement this.

11. Character style applied to Table of Contents header

    When creating a book's table of contents (TOC), if you apply a character style to the first chapter, that style is applied to the TOC entry but it's also wrongly applied to the TOC header as well. It seems to be taking whatever character style that's applied to the first letter in the first chapter.

    I have a sample file I can send.
    Tested in InDesign 2024 and 2022 for Mac.
    Discussed here:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/character-style-applied-to-table-of-contents-header/m-p/15256113#M619872

12. Paragraph shading disappears randomly when working in Indesign

    Expected result: the shading is displayed as it is applied in the settings, also when making an adjustment.

    Actual result: When opening the Indesign file, the shading is displayed correctly. But when a change is made in the area with paragraph shading, the shading randomly disappears in some places and the edges of the shading are not displayed correctly, which makes it impossible to make accurate changes in the shading. In the pdf, the shading is displayed correctly, as it is applied in the settings. So no problem there. It is merely when working in Indesign that the display of the shading is faulty.

    Reproduce: make an adjustment in the shaded area. Text in colums, anchored objects in text, placed images, shading merged

13. Selection Tool Doesn't Allow Dragging to Move After Windows Update

    Using InDesign 20.1 x64 on Windows 11. After the recent Windows security update (KB5051987), the Selection Tool no longer allows dragging to move elements on a second monitor. It could be related to the fact the monitors are not the same size and do not have the same UI scaling. It functions properly on my laptop screen but I normally work from my larger 2nd monitor and it is no longer functioning properly there. The Free Transform tool still works.

14. Type contextual control interferes with type input

    When the option in Preferences > Advanced Type for “Type Contextual Controls > Show for Character Alternates, Fractions, Ordinals and Ligatures” is active you have to hit a key twice to replace a selected glyph if alternates are shown. Please see attached screen capture.

    To get rid of this behavior you have to disable the option in the Preferences.

16. Indesign 2025 slowness

    This InDesign 2025 version is ridiculously slow. Change of Type tool to Selection tools it is taking 5 seconds or any other tool. Any single letter for correction 5 seconds. Selection of any item, 5 seconds. Anything one does is not less than 5-7 seconds in all. This is nonsense problems. The cursor should move FREELY and instantly.

17. Literal ampersand (&) doesn't show in font's OpenType stylistic set menu

    Adobe InDesign version: 20.1

    Expected Results:
    1. Use a font in InDesign that contains an OpenType stylistic set option with a name containing an ampersand (&).
    2. Look for that stylistic set in Character > OpenType > Stylistic Sets.
    3. The ampersand should be visible in the name of the stylistic set.

    Actual Results:
    The ampersand does not appear in the stylistic set name.

19. Index type range bugs

    I specifically have my problems with "To Next Use Of Style" and "For Next # Of Paragraphs"

    1. To Next Use Of Style
       The adobe guide specifically says that the range is until the NEXT use of the specific para style but if the paragraph that contains the index marker is the same as the intended end of range, it only recognizes the first page. It counts the current para style aswell.
       So if I want to i.e. make an index marker on a bridgehead with a range until the next bridgehead, I have to put the marker to the beginning of the following paragraph instead of on the bridgehead as the author intended.

    2. For Next # Of Paragraphs
       Here the range is always only to the beginning of the paragraphs, not till the end. So if I have an index marker on a paragraph and the range should end at the end of the first paragraph which exceeds to the following page, I have to type "2" instead of "1" since the latter only counts the beginning of the paragraph (or in this case the point of the index marker) and thus only the first page is shown in the index output.
       But Using the n+1 method is buggy if there are later corrections and the sentence flow shifts in a way that this paragraph that was previously splitted to two pages now is placed on one and ends on the bottom of the page, whereas the next paragraph begins on the following page. In this case the previously page rage will still be set until the beginning of the second paragraph and thus include the second page wrongfully.

    TL;DR
    Please make the page-range type function "For Next # Of Paragraphs" disregard the style of the paragraph with the index maker.
    Please edit the function of "For Next # Of Paragraphs" in a way that the range ends at the end of the paragraph, not the beginning.

20. Share for Review does not update

    Reproducing:

    - File opened in InDesign 2025, where it was converted to a 2025 file. Comments from previous version carried over in "Review" panel
    - Clicking "Update Content" in Share for Review causes long loading icon. Once completed, it showed no red error, but the link did not update content. Upon third or fourth try, the red "There was an error updating this artifact" appears.
