    The fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2026(v21.0.0.192). 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.

    "If you are on a Mac you can Force-Quit the program in the following manner. Click on the desktop and use the keyboard command option-command-esc. This will bring up the Force Quit Application window. You can then click on InDesign and select the Force Quit button to quit the program and stop all of the background mayhem that you have going on. On a PC you would Press Ctrl-Shift-Esc to directly open the Task Manager."
