With GPU preview page's content vibrates constantly | InDesign 18.2.1
I use InDesign 18.2.1 on a MacBook Pro 2023 (M2 Max) with macOS Ventura 13.2.1. When the GPU preview is enabled, the page's content vibrates constantly. Please check the attached video (I made it by putting my iPhone on a tripod in front of my display because if I start a screen recording, the issue disappears).

Random display issue
ID on a Apple M1 Max (OS 12.6) occasionally and randomly makes crazy displays. It is resolved when I quit and reopen the file, but still…
First image is what the document should look like. Second image is what it becomes. Kinda cool, but not my intent.

Running very slow
InDesign CC 2023: no matter what settings (I.e. how many times I change the display performance to fast or turn off a lot of features) there is still a 5-7 second delay on every single keystroke, every cursor movement, every selection, etc. etc. That is, if it doesn't just freeze altogether. My document is only 21 pages with minimal text and the images shouldn't be displayed at full resolution anyway, so there's no reason it should be this laggy. No other adobe program has this problem for me at the moment. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, that didn't work.…

InDesign 18.0 (2023): still having issue where certain weights of fonts won't load/work (other weights/styles in the family do work).
The only way I've been able to solve this is to revert to version 17.1 (had same issue with 17.2).

No multicore, no gpu support this is RIDICULOUS
Okay hear me out, I know for a fact this has been brought up I know.
However in 2022 a multinational company doesn't support multicore and gpu performance for windows this is just insane, it's the biggest F U to the community.
How I'm supposed to work on anything if my performance is garbage with VERY FEW OBJECTS, now you might say ah yes just press typical performance or fast perfomance if your pc is struggling. I have a proper pc (i9 9900k, 32gb ram, rtx 2080) really if this gear STRUGGLES with TEXT editing I'm speachless, for the sake…4 votes -
.TTF and .OTF font display/loading BUG InDesign 17.2
Fonts that used to load fine in InDesign appear missing even though they are installed and work in other apps like Illustrator or even Word.
Specifically this is occurring with a font that has unique glyphs: Noto Sans - Canadian Aboriginal Regular.TTF this has also been tested with a conversion to .OTF with the same result and this error has been confirmed across multiple devices.

Cannot click top MacOS Menu Bar with Indesign running
With Indesign 17 running, top menu bar on MacOS Monterey is unclickable (Apple menu onwards - e.g. File, Edit etc). Sometimes releasing the mouse makes the dropdown menu appear - but can't click on items - or the menu next to the one wanted appears). Quitting InDesgn restores the top menu to normal functions for other Apps.

Indesign can't search tagged folders
Indesign (17.1 Build) will wrongly show empty folders when I select a Finder tagged folder.
What can I do? I need this function. It's a big timesaver.

Memory issues
I began putting the current prerelease build (release candidate for InDesign 2022) through its paces on Monday. For the first time in the almost full year since I have been using this M1 MacBook Pro, the fan came roaring on, and all memory was depleted. When I started force quitting applications and consulted Activity Monitor, InDesign showed stratospheric memory use.
This doesn't happen all the time, but it seemed to degrade performance over time.

Overlapping type in "Recents" window
The "recents" window that shows after all Indesign documents are closed often displays overlapping text under the images making it unreadable.

Command + N doesn't work for New Document
For some unknown reason CMD + N has stopped working as a shortcut for a new document. In the File menu, it says it's programmed as a shortcut, but it doesn't work. I reset the shortcut and it temporarily works. If I open INDD and reset the shortcut, then it'll work when I use it. But if I close INDD and then try Cmd +N, it won't work. I've reset it numerous times. I've lost count of how many times INDD has updated. And nothing fixes this problem.
Currently working on the latest version of INDD (16.1). This problem has…

spinning ball
mac mid 18, os 10.15.7, indesign 2021 (16.0.1).
spinning ball coming every now and then … not able to reproduce, behaviour is arbitrary. but happens often when needing to do something creative or fast, which then is always VERY annoying to wait. I wish you could solve that behaviour or REALLY rework indesign, since it seems to hapen to a lot of other people too.
thanks in advance.

InDesign very slow after update to 16.0 (x64), especially data merge
Opening the app takes well over half a minute, used to be within 5 sec. Closing with save can take over a minute for a single master page with three variable placeholders. The app feels sluggish to use and there is a visible delay after performing any action, ranging between a fraction of a second and a few seconds.
This last one has always been the case, but after update it is even worse: exporting a PDF using data merge renders the machine unusable. Mouse cursor moves with visible skips and lengthy delay between those skips, regardless of complexity of…

Activating Font
My Indesign will randomly start trying to activate source sans pro fonts and will not ever finish activating. I can't cancel it, I can't go online to adobe fonts and decative and then active because it says there is a conflict. Because it's syncing it won't export any of my files until it's done ... and it's never done. The only way I get it to work is to force quit Indesign and it will work until it randomly starts trying to activate it again and the cycle repeats.

"Go-to-Folder" Shortcut Not Working When InDesign Opens Finder
About two updates prior to the last 2021 update that was released, the shortcut Commnand+Shift+G that would normally open the "Go-to-Folder" dialog box when doing something like relinking an image stopped working.
Unlike windows, where a file's location path can be copied and pasted at any time into an address bar, the "Go-to-Folder" menu can only be accessed via shortcut on Mac (as far as I am aware). It is very inconvenient to have to go through every folder individual folder, when I want to relink or place something, instead of being able to directly go to where the file…

InDesign performance issues: text tool
InDesign performance issues (version 15.1.1 x64 - 32GB RAM installed - Win 10 - Adobe Creative Cloud).
From the previous version the Text tool slows down the program considerably; it is not possible to work with at least two open files (I work with multiple open files, never a problem).
So the work is very slow !!! Please provide a solution. Thank you!4 votes
