InDesign (15.0.2) becomes almost unusable with more than (1) document open. Trying to copy text or images from one document to the next or just work in one of the documents while the other is open results in minutes-long wait times (or complete crash) to even select a text box, type a character, etc.

Steps to reproduce:
Open INDD doc (either on network or desktop)
Open second INDD doc
Attempt to edit text in either doc or copy over text from one document to the next

Set-up info:
InDesign 15.0.2
Windows 10 Enterprise // 10.0.17763

Trouble-shooting included:
- Turned off all plug-ins
- Turned off all preferences related to instant rendering of image, type, previews
- Turned off pre-flight
-Turned off type previews, variable characters, etc
-Display is set to typical (although, it happens in FAST as well)

Hi Adobe, we are still having major issues with a lot of spinning wheels in InDesign version 15.1.1. because of the AdobeFnt22.lst files that are created with every document. Basically when we open a document it resyncs/updates the AdobeFnt22.lst file of every document that was previously worked from that Mac. This is causing a lot of network traffic and spinning wheels in InDesign. The problem is fixed if we restart the Mac or rename the "Document fonts" folder so that InDesign no longer uses the fonts so does not create an "AdobeFnt.lst" file. Can you please sort this out, it is killing our production, some of our designers are reverting back to using QuarkXpress

We are a group of 16 graphic designers working on Macs. Our OS are varied between Sierra, High Sierra and Mojave. We work in InDesign 14.03 and 15.02 (with linked InCopy assets), Bridge 9.1 and 10.03, Photoshop 20.0.8 and 21.1, and Illustrator 23.1.1 and 24.1. We work on Box Drive and store our layout files and absolute-linked image assets there. It is critical that we are able to work on each others’ files in a high-volume, high-production environment. We don’t believe this is an issue related to our connection speeds.

Looking for a resolution to these issues:

InDesign: Not all image and InCopy files are automatically updating / relinking to original assets on Box. This occurs when both original and different users open the InDesign file to edit it.

Box Drive: Writers cannot always see ICML and Assignments files on Box Drive (in the Finder) after an Art Director has exported them for the writer to work on. This typically occurs shortly after exporting the assets.

Bridge: time to load image previews can take up to 15 minutes for some designers.

Very Slow Performance

Yes, InDesign is extremely slow today 2020-06-19, almost unusable, even many months after being discovered.
The most worrying is that it seems that this bug was discovered in September 2019.

As David wrote 2019-09-04: “Almost every action from selecting objects, resizing objects, or moving objects comes with a really slow reaction time”.

Behaviour:
> InDesign freezes, and my cursor starts spinning around (CPU jumps to 95-98%) for almost 30-45 seconds before I can continue with next command.
> The behaviour is random, but when it starts working slow, then it continues. It usually happens when I open two InDesign documents at the same time (small documents).

I run InDesign 15.1 x64 from Creative Cloud, and Windows 10 Enterprise with 16GB RAM.

I hope Adobe fixes this very soon, as I cannot perform my daily work and my employer starts asking what is wrong with my deliveries.

Manuel

Version:
bug only appears on inDesign 15.1.2 on OSX.
I tested on inDesign 15.1.1 and inDesign 14.x and it had no issue.
I also tested on inDesign 15.1.2 on Windows and it had no issue.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
-click on "object" -> "insert HTML code" then click "ok". changing the HTML snippet or not make no difference.

Expected result:
an HTML item is added and previewed correctly without any error message

Actual Result:
The preview of the HTML snippet is not working and after a few seconds, a dialog modal appears saying "Waiting time exceeded for HTML renderer. A poster image could not be generated."

This is very annoying when using this feature manually and even more annoying when using a script that adds HTML elements because this message will appear and block inDesign every 10 seconds for each element created this way. Even a small document with 1 HTML item per page and 20 pages will be blocked for a few minutes.
