This is somehow the most inconvenient bug I've experienced hahaha

Read on Reddit: The number of people with this problem is increasing; it could be related to having specifically 16 GB of RAM and Windows — a Windows update occurred around the time it started.

Lu sur Reddit : Le nombre de personnes avec ce problème augmente ; ça pourrait être lié au fait d'avoir spécifiquement 16 Go de RAM et Windows - une mise à jour Windows s'est produite à peu près au moment où ça a commencé.

Completely wiped computer clean. Re-installed CC and Apps and issue persists.

Infuriating...

Absolutely critical for working...

Same issue - extremely annoying - please fix ASAP

日本でも同じ不具合が発生しています。早急な対応を強く願います。重大なコンペに間に合わない可能性があります。助けてほしいです。

I am having the same issue with InDesign. I have the latest version installed and only have 2-3 undos. I'm not having the issue in Photoshop or Illustrator so I know it is not an issue with my computer.

Looking forward to this being fixed, it's making me a little crazy! Happy to share any info needed ....

Windows 11
13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1360P (2.20 GHz
InDesign updated 21.1 x 64

Hello everyone, I continue to report the undo issue. The problem has been occurring since around December 14. I use Windows 11 Pro, and I have updated InDesign to the latest version, but the problem persists. I am attaching a video to clarify what is happening on my computer. Please let me know if I can share anything else to help the Adobe team resolve this bug.

I'm experiencing this too - only about 3 undos. Very frustrating! I've uninstalled/restarted/deleted preferences/tried an older version etc and nothing works.

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz (2.59 GHz)

Windows 11

I'm experiencing the same issue - only 4-5 undos total. Working on Windows 11 Enterprise with InDesign version 21.1.x64. My RAM is at 16GB.

Undo steps in History pane seem to disappear whenever I delete or edit an object. If I'm just moving objects around, I have several undos to step back through.

I also tested this issue in an earlier stable version (InDesign 20.5.1), and the problem still occurs.
Undo works briefly after launching the app, then stops working again (only 1–2 steps), even in new documents.
This indicates the issue is not limited to a specific version.

I think there's a high probability of a conflict with InDesign after receiving a Windows update. The Windows version number is 25h2.

Hello, i'm having this same problem for 2-3 weeks now. Only a couple of undo steps, and text that disappear until i move with zoom.

Unfortunately i don't remember since which event (upgrades or similar) this bugs started.

My specs:

Windows 11 Home 25H2
Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900HX (2.20 GHz)
16GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 laptop (8GB)

I hope this bug will be fixed soon.

same problem

i wrote this bug a Year ago, A YEAR!...sad. Can you imagine how good you have to be with InDesign if you have to survive A YEAR only on 3 undo steps?!

It's Jan 3rd. So are we seriously expected to wait years for a fix? It is mind-blowing that we even have to discuss this. Do you honestly expect designers to work in InDesign without Undo? This isn't a feature request it’s a fundamental tool that you’ve broken.

I am having this issue as well. VERY VERY frustrating.

I am having this issue too and it's becoming horrible to work with losing info and then having to redo everything. I also tried reinstalling to old versions but now it doesn't work in those either. I also keep getting the issue where the text box becomes blank.

The bug is still present with version 21.1.
It is sad that a bug like that is not found by Adobe's Development / Testing Team prior rolling it out to paying customers. This issue is really not good for Adobe's reputation, even though I do have a certain understanding that it can be difficult to find and resolve software bugs.
