This is a problem in 17.2.1--toggling between preview/default is causing text to shift. If I close the file and restart indesign it will resolve, but only temporarily as it is intermittent.

Same issue. Very frustrating. Please fix.

Several years after reporting this HUGE bug, posting screencaptures, sending reports to you at your mailbox (with no answer, by the way), it is indeed still present in the latest 2022 version. I have to deal with it every day. What's the use of reporting a bug if you don't do anything to solve it ? If Adobe doesn't want to resolve it, please tell us, there are other softwares around here that look very interesting to us professionals (Affinity Publisher…) and much cheaper. Adobe if following the same path than Quark 15 years ago.

I'm in Indesign 16.0 Mac, Yosemite..... When the page is viewed in preview mode, certain objects appear from a previous iteration. In normal mode, I placed 2 vector objects from Illustrator into Indesign, then after placing , I deleted them, then added boxes I created in Indesign. Then I switched to preview mode.... The placed vectors from Illustrator that I deleted were still there & the boxes I created after deleting them were not. I closed the document then reopened it.... now preview mode & normal mode are the same. Glad I caught this....if it had been a more complex design, I might I shown a client the wrong design. Have to agree with other comments here: FIX THE OLD BUGS BEFORE ADDING NEW HALF-BAKED FEATURES!

Same issue here.
I recently changed from 2021 to 2022 with hope that this error would be fixed, but still there.
Using Indesign 17.0 in Macbook Pro M1 2020, 12.0.1 Monterey.

I have been plagued by this problem for months. I am using version 16.2. Sometimes it's just some paragraphs missing between views, but today a whole page of text was missing, so I decided to take screen shots of the the two views. This is not document specific, it has been happening on many documents. To fix I either have to add some text to the story, then delete it or restart InDesign.

So I’m working on a Flemish document that I’m translating into English, meaning copy and pasting text out of word documents.
When switching between preview and normal mode I also see this.

I made a video: https://www.loom.com/share/66a71ac5a89043428ebe758c62eeda1e

Same issue, seems to happen at random and hard to spot unless regularly switching between normal and preview.

Same issue - driving me nuts. changes made in preview mode don't show in normal mode and vice versa. Not consistent though - sometimes it works fine.

Workaround - closing and re-opening the document seems sufficient.

Issue is showing in 16.0.1 on freshly installed InDesing on new machine. I opened file from 16.0.1 I changed on different machine. Added few things (pages with new content). New PDF have errors (content missing) that were fixed (because I have PDFs with proper content). File had 2 pages (now 4). I cannot check files if "old" changes are there and present. Doing it on this file with 5 versions is PITA. Doing on 80 pages documents with 12 versions? Impossible. Working with indesign is making ME look like I do bad work, can't be reliable and not wanting to put "extra work" (yes, checking if idnesign didn't f**ked up something is extra work).

A video would not show more then the screenshots. And it is not a specific document.

This workaround works, but only when I notice the problem. If I don't switch between preview and normal view, I don't see the problem, but later the result is wrong.
A patch, like for version 15, 14 and 13, would be better.

bug report: normal view – preview

InDesign 16.0.1 x64

1. press »W« while document is opened
2. text on page shoud be eaqual in preview and normal view
3. text in preview and normal view are not eaqual. (Text and formats were not adjusted between the view changes.)
4. see screenshots

Still a HUGE issue. Now I don't know what I've edited and what I've changed!!!!!

Posted a video to show that it's still happening in Indesign 2021.

In InDesign 2021 16.0.1 switching between normal and preview display modes doesn't show recent changes. For example, I added two text boxes and changed fonts in normal mode but then when I switch to preview it still shows the old layout just without the blue bounding boxes, etc. Please fix this as I toggle between the two views a lot when designing.
