Pagina on Master page - deleted on one page
Pagina is on Master page, and deleted on one page.
In version 12.0.0.81 the pagina that is deleted still shows.
In version 12.1.0.56 the pagina is not there.
I do not know which version the designer used when creating the document, some version of 2017.
The pagina block is from the edge to spine.2 votes -

Facing-page layouts always have one un-editable page
If you set up facing master pages with a text frame on each, you can only set the text frame as "primary" on one of the pages. That means every other page you create from the master will be un-editable. This defeats much of the purpose of a master page, and provides no benefit.
The only semi-workaround is to connect the two frames, but this is not always acceptable. Sometimes it is necessary to keep the stories separate.

"send form" doesn't work
I made an interactive form with several "necessary" fields and a "send form" button. When I tried to "send" the form without filling in the necessary fields, acrobat reminds me that not all required fields are filled in. Positive, that's how it should work. BUT- when all fields are filled in and one tries the "send form" button, nothing happens. File is not send...... Please advise, because the "necessary fields / required information" is not asked after if the file can't be send by this button....

Mauvais format de page
Quand le format de page sera respecté ?
Lorsque tu crées une page, le format n'est pas respecté.
Par exemple :
Si je créée une page au format 480 x 60 (par exemple…c'est la même chose avec un autre format), Indesign affiche une page au format A4.
C'est à chaque fois la même chose lorsque l'on crée un format spécifique !!!1 vote -
Unable to select multiple objects when hidden spreads are in document
InDesign version: 20.1
There seems to be a bug that occurs when there are hidden spreads in the document, where you cannot click and drag to select items on a visible spread. Also when you copy content from one spread to another it doesn't transfer to the current selected page. See below for my experience:
Steps to reproduce issue (part 1):
1. create a document with multiple pages (e.g., 26 pages).
2. Hide some spreads throughout document. (e.g., page 1, page 5, pages 20-23, etc).
3. Attempt to select multiple objects by clicking and dragging.Expected result: objects selected!

Elements disappear when two different templates are opposite each other on a double page (indesign 2024 - 19.5.1)
When you apply two different templates on a double page, some elements of the template disappear. This bug is not systematic, but has come back regularly for years.
This happens when a parent template and a child template are on a facing page (see screenshot).Lorsqu'on applique deux gabarits différents sur une double page certains éléments du gabarit disparaissent. Ce bug n'est pas systématique, mais revient régulièrement depuis des années.
Cela se produit lorsqu'un gabarit mère et un gabarit enfant se trouvent sur une page en vis à vis (voir capture d'écran).1 vote -
TOC Generation or Update Crashes InDesign 2025
macOS 15.2, InDesign 20.0.1
When I generate or update a TOC there is a roughly 7 in 10 chance InDesign 2025 will crash. This happens with multiple documents and has been happening consistently with every document since the release of 20.0 in October.
- I initially thought it was because I was using ID '25 on macOS Ventura, but it's still happening with existing and new documents since updating my Mac to Sequoia.
- Additionally, the same files moved to other computers (Windows 10, for example) also crash there when generating, updating TOCs.
- Happens whether the documents in question are standalone or…

Searching and finding overset text no longer changes to the page this text is on
In InDesign 2024, you can search for text that happens to be overset (outside a text box). When you press find next, the page changes to the location of this text box with the matching overset text.
In InDesign 2025 version 20.01, you can search for overset text (outside the text box). The page will not change if the matching text is overset.
Being able to search for text that is inside an overset text box, and knowing what page it is on, is an important function. Can we get this back? Seems like a simple fix.

Overset text on hidden spreads
When you hide a spread I would prefer if preflight does not include that in the error reports.

New Version will not recognize/open DOCX files. I do not even see them in the "all files" import tab. I had to resave as a *.doc file to use

View on open document fades to pure grey (i.e. the chosen background color)
Happens frequently, mostly after some actions just after the opening of the app. See attached screenshot with applied "select all" command to show something.
Temporary solution: Reopen document. But that is still irritating for a mature application.

Black block
Instead of text there are these black rectangles - only on parts of it. When I placed the text it was ok, but then it randomly switched to this. It still somehow detects text there but I cannot see it. I converted the doc to the previous Indesign version but the issue is still here.

Custome page size rotation
If I go to the parent pages to adjust an existing master (I had portrait tabloid parent pages), and I adjust the second page to be a letter-sized page, even if I select landscape for the new page size it defaults to portrait.

[ID-4256670]InDesign crashes while navigating through Parent Pages in Pages Panel
InDesign 20.0
Click on the first parent page in the panel and use option + page down to navigate. When you reach a parent page that is not used in the document, you can go no further.
Click the last parent in the panel and use option + page up to navigate. Either the selection jumps to the first parent page in the panel or InDesign crashes.
1 voteThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2025(v20.0.1.032). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application click on the context menu on the top right, and click on Check for App Updates.

Blocked ability to delete or add, edit pages of pages by clicking on icons. On the icons there is an inscription that blocks their operation, very irritating.
