Font Selector Broken
When I select a font in indesign 2024 (select drop down, start to type name of font "script", select font ) it works fine
When I attempt the same in indesign 2026 (select drop down, start to type name of font "script", system shows me fonts beginning with the second or third letter I typed, e.g. "Cricket")
This is broken. (no font filters selected, win 10, over 3000 fonts installed...)1 vote -

text box resizing causes document to shift in window
I have an issue now that has never come up before I updated to 20.5.1. When I try to resize a text box or image box, the document shifts down and the content box is shifted up. The video shows it better. I then discovered that if I create a new text box, delete it, then create another new text box and delete that one, the issue goes away. I closed and re-opened the document, and the issue was still gone. Have not had it happen enough to know if it will recur at a later time.

Bug Report: “Find/Change” Story Option Not Appearing
Hi Adobe Support Team,
I would like to report a bug in Adobe InDesign. When using the Find/Change command, even though I select Story in the selection area, the Story option does not appear in the Find section.
Currently, the only workaround I’ve found is to close and reopen InDesign, but the issue recurs every time. I can provide a screenshot to illustrate the problem if needed.
Please let me know how I can assist in resolving this issue.
Thank you.

Conversion Process
I have ran into a bug twice now where InDesign is forcing me to run a conversion on my indd files and when it does it inserts a '/' symbol in a paragraph. Unfortunately this was not apparent and the typo went into 145 paperback copies.

PDF conversion
Still does not work with a simple remittance envelope we have - see attached screenshot. After the conversion, the entire document is black and all the fonts are missing. After every update of InDesign we try again and get the same results.

ドキュメントを開こうとしたらアラートが出て開かない
macOS Sequoia Ver15.6 です。
CC2022を起動してドキュメントを開こうとしたらアラートが出て開けません。
アラートは「モーダルダイアログまたは警告がアクティブなために、要求された操作を処理できません」です。
複数マシンがあるのですが、全て同じ結果でした。
Yahoo知恵袋に「ネットを切ったら起動した」という記述があったので試したところ、起動はしました。
InDesinの作業はできるのですが、ネットワークが使えないと、さまざまな支障が出てくるので、
ネットを切らずに起動できるようにしたいのです。
InDesignのバージョンは2022、2023、2024、2025を試しましたが、全て同じでした。
マシンの再起動も試しました。
OSの設定（セキュリティなど）諸々試しましたが、変化なしでした。
恐らく、起動時のAdobeの認証他の動作に問題がある気がします。

Selecting placed file no longer selects that file in the Links window.
In InDesign 2025 and earlier, selecting a placed file (such as a placed Photoshop background) used to select and highlight that file in the Links window. In ID 2026, it no longer does that. This was an invaluable feature for those of us that have hundreds of linked files and need to use the Edit In function. Can you please bring back the feature.

InDesign 21.0 black dot in red close button missing on macOS
- InDesign 21.0, macOS 15.7
- Open InDesign file, make a change.
- Black dot should appear in the title bar red "close" button along with asterisk by filename in document tab.
- Red "close" button remains "clean" without black dot.
InDesign 2025 (v.20.5) exhibits correct behavior. InDesign 2026 (v.21.0) does not.

When viewing an exported PDF images do not appear correctly
I'm using InDesign 2026 version 21.0. These bugs are new after the latest update. We create primary 36+ page booklets with lots of text and linked files: Illustrator files (linked as .AI), JPG/PNG images, and PDFs. When creating a PDF using Adobe PDF preset for smallest file size some pages do not appear correctly. One example is a linked InDesign file with text and graphics where some of the text is missing (text missing bug.PDF). Another example images that appear fine in InDesign and in print but render incorrectly on the PDF, this is also a linked InDesign file (images…
