screen redraw
InDesign 18.x through 19.5. Mac, Apple Silicon, M1 Max w/ 96 GB RAM and at least 1 TB free storage, M3 Max w/128 GB Ram and at least 1 TB free storage.
Basically, sometimes the screen becomes “corrupted” and weirdly glitched. Closing the file and reopening fixes it, but that is not acceptable when it is super frequent. Which it is.
This has been a problem for over a year, across multiple full InDesign versions. It happened on my M1 MacBook Pro, and still happening on my M3.
Typically these documents involved a placed PDF page that itself is a scanned document, usually at something like 300 dpi. I am trying to do a typed text block on top of and/or adjacent to it.
(This has been a huge source of grief, makes me think about switching to another app for these kind of layout needs. Given that I have been using InDesign since before it first shipped, that would make me sad.)

Note also that I have multiple screens. Previously running 3 4K monitors, now have 2 4K monitors plus one 5Kx2K
