    Hi,

    Thank you for reporting the issue. We have been able to reproduce the issue, and it is currently under investigation.

    Analysis

    • We have been able to reproduce the issue on Windows, and it is currently under investigation.
    • The root cause is that the UNDO stack is getting purged and the issue is getting manifested in History Panel.
    • The issue is intermittently(depends on when InDesign chooses to purge the stack) getting reproduced on Windows machine only. The issue is not observed on Macintosh.
    • It has started to be reported by customer recently 14-Dec-2025 onwards. A Windows update has been pushed on 09 December 2025 for Win11 23H2, 24H2 and 25H2. Refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/december-9-2025-kb5071417-os-build-22631-6345-5b7b15d8-96a2-4c8f-a61d-b5e1bc9618f8

    Subject: Undo History Vanishing Automatically in InDesign v21.x (2025)
    Description:
    I am reporting a critical bug regarding the Undo/History feature in the latest version of Adobe InDesign.

    The Issue: Recently, the Undo function has stopped working correctly. Upon checking the History panel, I noticed that the history is being cleared/vanished automatically. As a result, I can only undo one or two steps, and then the option becomes unavailable. This is causing significant data loss and workflow disruption.

    Observations:

    I previously used InDesign v20.x (2025) on both Windows 10 and 11 without any issues.

    The problem started occurring on InDesign v21.x (2026/Latest version).

    Due to this instability, I have been forced to downgrade to InDesign v17.x (2022), which works perfectly.

    I am currently having to export my modern files to IDML just to work in the older, stable version, which is very frustrating and time-consuming.

    My System Specifications:

    OS: Windows 11 Pro (24H2/25H2)

    CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400 (2.50 GHz)

    RAM: 16 GB 6000MHz

    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (8GB)

    Sometimes the text area is blank but has text, but when I zoom in or out, it backs.

    Please investigate this as many users are experiencing similar issues. I would like to be notified when a fix or workaround is available.
