Bugs with GPU, Bugs without GPU (zoom, moving objects, create text)
(Working on Adobe InDesign 14.0.2.)
Hi there,
so for a couple of weeks, my Indesign behaves quite badly.
For demonstration purposes, I created a new blank file but these bugs also occur in existing work projects.
Case 1: GPU switched on (Image: GPU on):
Zooming does not show any effect, only when I click in and change something. The rulers change, but my board/document is not zooming in (Video: Zooming with GPU). As soon as I found my page, the objects don't really move that well, more in a lagging, stocking way. (Video: Moving Objects with GPU).
This leads to massive pain when you try to work fluently.
Case 2: So I switched GPU off (Image GPU off):
This helped with the zoom, it worked again. But then creating objects, for example, text, totally lagged in showing the content. Creating a new text field and typing anything in it leaves it completely blank until I choose a different tool or click outside the box. Also moving those objects does not happen in real time and does not show any preview. (Video: Type and Move without GPU)
This, too, makes it really hard to build any kind of fluent workflow right now.
I uninstalled and installed InDesign and Creative Cloud repeatedly. Other applications don't seem to be affected (Photoshop, Illustrator, XD).
So. Any suggestions?
When I now need to do things in InDesign, I have to give it away to a colleague or use his Computer. Could it also be something with the internal graphics? But why do all other apps work so well then and it's only InDesign behaving badly.
Thank you very much!

Same Problem with InDesign 16.4 an Mac. Ich GPU Preview is enable text box become blank when start editing. need scroll up/down to refresh screen. You can ease reproduce it. In Settings -> GPU acceleration on. in document -> View -> view with GPU --- bugs ! - change -> Preview an CPU --- no bugs! i come from InDesign CS6 on a MacBook Pro, upgrade to InDesign Cloud on same machine, now move to MacBook mit M1 and still the same issues.

I think I have the same issue, but I chalked it up to moving to PC from Mac, in between versions.
I've noticed that "typical" quality doesn't have this issue, but in HQ display mode I have to force a view change (zoom in or out) to get the updated sizing.
