New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on November 03, 2021) follows:
Adobe is well known for its multimedia and creativity software products. The most popular Adobe tools include Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom, and After Effects.
Among them, InDesign is one of the popular layout and page designing software used to create brochures, flyers, magazines, presentations, and more.
However, some macOS users are now reporting a bug with InDesign where text disappears when typing in the text box.
According to reports, users are complaining that when they make any changes to text in text box such as typing, pasting, or editing, the text automatically disappears.
Here are some reports for reference:
However, that’s not the case every time and it happens occasionally. Sometimes the text is shown as usual when users switch between normal and preview mode.
Looking at reports, this problem seems to affect macOS users and specifically those using M1 Mac. And we haven’t come across such an issue with Windows users.
It was first reported in June and was acknowledged by one of Adobe’s employees in September after many others complained about the same.
Back then, the Adobe employee said that this issue was under investigation. However, the same problem has persisted and continues to affect more InDesign users to date.
Following the fresh reports, an Adobe employee has again acknowledged the issue saying that they are still working on a fix. But this time they have also provided a workaround that could possibly help you get through this bug.
Here’s the workaround that you need to try and see if it helps:
The above-mentioned workaround will probably help you overcome this issue and if not, then you’ll have to wait for devs to fix it officially.
– Select all fonts
– Right-click and select Validate fonts
– Delete the font that was marked as having Issues.
– Restart InDesign (Source)
Rest assured we will keep you updated on further developments as and when anything new comes to our notice.
