1. Justification Alternates (jalt) ignored by the HarfBuzz World-Ready shaping workflow

   In the recent InDesign versions Adobe has introduced HarfBuzz as the default text shaping engine but the Justification alternates feature is now not working in OpenType fonts at all, we have confirmed it by testing with several Arabic fonts. For Adobe legacy text rendering engine this feature still works seamlessly but not for Harfbuzz
   It has disturbed all the Arabic users past documents.

   I have attached a test Arabic document with Adobe Naskh font, as this font has justification alternates feature.

   Apply the World-Ready Paragraph Composer.
   Justify the Arabic paragraph.
   In Arabic Enabled InDesign set the Insert Kashidas to: None (image attached)
   Enable Justification Alternates. (image attached)

   Compare the broken result under HarfBuzz with the correct result under Legacy Text Shaping.

2. Screen does not refresh in all cases

   Every now and then, InDesign shows things in a previous state, which is very confusing.
   E..g. when adding a page break, the break is added, but the text remains, until the document is scrolled. The screen does not seem to refresh after this action.

   I am on a Mac Studio M3 Ultra, InDesign 21.4

3. Cursore cambia in clessidra

   Versone 21.4 x 64
   Il cursore si trasforma in clessidra e resta così per tutto il tempo rendendo impossibile comprendere ad esempio i punti di input del testo.
   Ho provato ad installare nuovamente il software ma il problema è sempre lì.
   Credo anche che sia correlato alla presenza di immagini nel documento poichè mi pare che a volte inizi da quando si inseriscono immagini.

   Per favore aiuto perché non si riesce a lavorare così.

   Grazie

8. Rolling cursor in InDesign

   I completely get how incredibly irritating that is, especially when you have a strict deadline to hit and the software is just stuck spinning. The constant rolling cursor in InDesign is usually caused by the program getting trapped in a loop, trying to calculate or locate something in the background over and over again.
   Here are the fastest ways to force InDesign to stop lagging so you can

9. Flex Layout is unusable

   Flex Layout feature is unusable. Not once did it work like intended. Just as an example. I just tried it again with 40 images that were dropped arranged in a grid with the intent of just standardizing the gutters quickly. But it just scrambled the order randomly. It is mind bugling. This should be feature number one. Figma Auto Layout is way better.

11. Pages panel not scrolling to allow all pages to be accessible

    InDesign v21.3 (Updated last week, no issues until today. Daily use)

    This morning when I opened InDesign, I discovered I was unable to scroll and select the last page of the document. The top half of the last page is visible through the bottom bar of the panel where the number of pages is displayed but unclickable. This prevents a change of parent page style, addition of pages in the correct parent style or the selection to override the parent page style.

    I have tried resetting my workspace, restarting Indesign and changing panel views. The bottom row remains elusive.

14. Cropped content inside frames becomes visible on older mobile PDF viewers.

    I found a rendering issue in InDesign 2021 (and potentially newer versions). When an image or PDF is placed inside a frame (cropped), the content outside the frame boundaries is still being rendered on older mobile devices' PDF viewers.

    Steps to reproduce:

    • Place a large PDF/Image inside a smaller InDesign frame.
    • Export as a standard PDF (Interactive or Print - High Quality).
    • View the PDF on an older smartphone (e.g., older Android/iOS built-in viewers).
    • The "hidden" parts outside the frame are visible.

    The content outside the frame should be completely clipped or removed from the render stream to ensure privacy and visual consistency across all devices.

    Exporting as PDF/X-1a:2001 solves the issue because it flattens the transparency/layers.

15. InDesign refuses to run if it can't verify our license ONE TIME, wasting a full day of work.

    First off, you're missing a bug category: LICENSING

    Now the real defect: InDesign refuses to launch if it can't contact the license server ONCE. So... if you're on a long-distance flight and have a bunch of work to do, YOU CAN'T. There is no excuse for this. Any competent software will run temporarily in that instance.

    Furthermore, we have a fully-paid license. There is no reason for the software to check its license any more frequently than the billing cycle. At every check, the server should report to the software what the end of the currently-paid period is and the software will run without connection until then. And even then, the software should function for AT LEAST A DAY if it is offline.

    This should NEVER happen to a paying customer.

18. Installing InDesign 20.5.2 caused the system to make it the default version, replacing 21.2.0 as the default app for opening InDesign files

    When I double-click the file I have been working on, I get an error message that says it couldn't be opened because it was created by a newer version of InDesign. It calls out 21.2 as the offender. If I look at the recent updates for Creative Cloud, it looks like 21.2 was updated 19 days ago, and 20.5.2 was updated 13 days ago. It looks like the association for which app to open .indd files was changed with the 20.5.2 update, and it no longer opens the latest version of the product. I can open 21.2 manually, but I can't just click on the file and have it open correctly. Your right hand doesn't know what the left is doing! Please send another update for the 21.2 (or later dot number) to correct this.

19. [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)
    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.

20. Linked image within illustrator file not appearing when placed in indesign

    Using:
    InDesign 21.1
    Link created in Illustrator 30.2.1

    I have a map created in Illustrator with a background (flattened) tiff which displays fine in Illustrator. Once placed into InDD, the tiff won't appear (layer is ON and printing) and doesn't get included in exports (thus eliminating a rendering issue of any kind).
    This has happened on 2 separate files but is fine in others with the same set-up.
    On occasion the tiff will reappear...
    This is a recent 'development' in past 2 weeks.
