Incredible that 4 years later this incredibly frustrating glitch is still an issue. M1 Mac Mini/Monterey.

Lift your game Adobe!

went thru adobe support chat and aman helped with this issue by validating fonts and removing all fonts with errors

Hi! This is happening to me every single time I try to edit text. I have a very large document and am making copy changes daily and this continues to happen. BRand new Macbook Pro with M1 chip (purchased May 2021). Does anyone know of a fix? I close everything down and restart my macbook, open Indesign, and it is still happening.

I assumed this was closed as it's so old- but as with others below I am also having this issue, although for me it seems to specifically be text within tables that randomly disappears. Incredibly frustrating, please fix it.

InDesign 16.1
macOS Big Sur 11.5.2
iMac 24-inch M1 2021

The text inside a table text box keeps disappearing at random whilst editing. The text is not overset- all text disappears. Only fix is either to scroll off the page with the box (if possible) or to double click the text box boundary. Incredibly frustrating when trying to edit anything.

Just upgraded to the new MacBook Air and am now experiencing this issue all the time while using inDesign. I can click out of the text box and move to a different page and back and it reappears but this is a ridiculous problem to have when you have a big pop up ad for how great id works on the new M1 chip!

I only just bought a new Macbook pro 2020 last week to upgrade from my Macbook air and was super excited for the new speed of the mac. But I use InDesign everyday for my job and text is just disappearing in and out as Im typing!!! This needs to be resolved!!!! It is slowing down my work and productivity I just can't deal with it!!! I see it has been an issue for a while..... so many designers are on Macs - whats happening?!?!

Same same same. Seriously can there be a resolve - MacBook Pro version working absolutely fine. New iMac M1 cannot type 2 letters without the text box disappearing, even when I touch the mouse the text is lost so either have to zoom out then back in or move the text box or change the font colour then change it back.
This is ridiculous and have deadlines to meet !! Please get this sorted ASAP!!!

I'm also using an M1 Mac and thanks to this huge, obvious bug I can barely get any work done. This ought to be top priority for Adobe!

I just started a subscription to Adobe approximately 5 weeks ago on a brand new MacBook pro.
This bug is VERY frustrating as I've worked on a paid version of InDesign on an older MAC for years prior to now paying monthly for it.
This is happening to me almost every third time I change a word in a file. (11 Oct 2021) please help!

I get this issue constantly and it is infuriating and really interrupts my workflow. Try flowing/amending text within a brochure when the text box disappears every time I type! Aaah!

Macbook Pro M1
MacOS Big Sur 11.6
InDesign 16.4

I've been having this problem since I started using my M1 Mac Air, no issues with the older model, even though it is several OS and iD versions behind my current machine.
Looks like a case of the update no one asked for screwing up the works.

Yes I have this problem with new 16.4 (iMac 24inch M1 chip – Big Sur). Seriously annoying. I am working on very intricate packaging copy and it's really slowing me down and leading to mistakes. Sort it out Adobe!

Still have this problem with 16.4 ! (Mac Mini M1 - Big Sur). Really annoying !

I am having this exact same problem, on my new Mac it's really annoying having to zoom in and out all the time to make sure the text is still there!!

I have this issue on a new iMac 24" but not on an older Mac. I don't understand how software developers can make things worse. It's just ridiculous that you release an update without making sure this works. Surely editing text is one of the primary functions of InDesign?

I also am having this issue and it is a real pain **********! I am using the latest of everything.

still have this problem and I use 16.4

Also having this issue almost constantly. Impossible to do my job when I can't see what I'm editing.

Hello,

I have also been having this problem with the latest version of InDesign 16.4. The text disappears while being edited and only reappears after zooming in / out. Changing quality of display seems to have no effect. September 23, 2021.
