Replaced text (when using Track Changes) in a table will crash InDesign/InCopy 2024 when switching to text views
To recreate (See attached images):
- Create a simple table in InDesign and add some content to one cell, then activate Track Changes.
- Select the content and replace it with new content, then select to switch to "Story Editor".
What occurs:
1. InDesign will completely freeze up and needs to be forced to quit.
2. This will also happen (in the same set up) if you are using InCopy and switch to either "Story" or "Galley" view.Comments:
It seems that this is triggered by the graphics that highlight the removed/new text. If you are not showing the colors in any…40 votes -
Version 18.5.1 freezes when closing a document
When you close a document, the software freezes. It is not possible to exit, it is not possible to open a new document or click on any command in the menu. I downgraded to version 18.5 and it is fine.

When you wake up, open documents are not visible on the external monitor. Everything is just greyed out.
If I put my MacBook Pro to sleep with work on an external monitor, when I turn it on at another place with an external monitor, all open documents are grayed out and do not display any object. The objects are selectable, but I can't see what's in them. Switching display modes, minimizing or dragging between displays doesn't help either.

launch failure
Indesign 2023 (version 18.5)
Running on Mac OS Ventura (13.1)Indesign fails to launch. Whether clicking the application icon through finder or from the Creative Cloud window. The app starts loading, then after scanning for plugins it instantly closes with no crash report. I was able to launch after uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling Indesign version 18 but after closing the program once, the problem returned and I had to repeat the above. This method is not acceptable for daily use.

Crashes when changing font, copying text and saving as another file type
I have been tryin to open one of my 'old' Indesign files (2017). At the time I used Cross-References plugin DTP tools. I no longer use it. It keeps populating a notification that the plugin is missing, but it still opens the INDD document. I have tried saving the document—
1) as an IDML document and that does not work.
2) I have also tried saving as a new document but the issue remains the same.
3) I have tried copying the text from it to a new INDD document, it crashes every time and I have sent crash reports.…1 vote -

Glitching and Lagging
Mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1 (as well as previous release)
InDesign 19.01 (as well as previous releases)
Apple M1 MaxInDesign (and Illustrator) have become infuriating to use. All graphics and text are constantly glitching when scrolling or zooming. When selecting an element for some reason there is a lag where it things that I am clicking and dragging the element cause it to move. Sometimes it moves a pixel or get thrown across the page.
I have tried the following
In Preferences,
Disabled Animated Zoom to no effect.
Disabled GPU Performance to no effect.

Computer: Mac Sonoma 14.4 Indesign: 14.4 AMFID and TRUSTD
Yesterday I updated both Mac and Indesign. Today I regret.
When autoflowing a very large file (which yesterday would have taken around 10 minutes) - now it runs for hours.Strangely I have noticed that while the delay is happening in Indesign - amfid begins to take 64% of my CPU on the Activity monitor. trustd runs around 24-27%. Indesign is running 9-10%. Once I shut down Indesign or the task finally completes, but amfid and trustd disappear from the activity monitor. Could this be the source of the delay. This is truly keeping me from my work.

InDesign crashes when I try to change styles with the preview box selected.
I am running InDesign 19.0.1 x 64 on a Windows 10 machine
When I try to edit a paragraph style that includes bullet points, and with the Preview box checked, my computer crashes. As you can see in the screen capture video, it is an intermittent issue, but InDesign crashes the majority of times I am trying to edit the bullet paragraph styles. It also happens when I try to change the Anchored Object Options in my Object Styles panel.

InDesign won't quit
Since the update to v18.5, InDesign won't quit after working on a document. If I simply just open the program and won't open or create any document, it closes perfectly. But once a document is created or opened, the program itself won't quit afterwards and just sits/hangs there requiring force quit.
Resetting the preferences and dumping the caches didn't help either. Running Win 11 Pro x64. Nothing else is changed except ID got updated yesterday to v18.5.
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall because it's not a 'major' issue - just posting here so it's known and hopefully they…

My indseign starts glitching as soon as I move a picture or make a frame. It goes half black or fully purple and blue. Its impossible for me to figure out how to fix it. I've tried restarting the app. But that doesn't matter. I don't have any problems with the other apps.1 vote -
