Indesign 20.1 There is a delay in moving picture/text box
Clicking on a text box takes about 5/6 seconds before it selects it to move it.

This is happening to me as well, AFTER updating to the latest. There are so many annoying issues now, it's ridiculous. I'm not going to pretend to know much about programming, but why are new bugs introduced on things that were fine before? Wouldn't it just be refining the previous version?
• Boxes don't highlight when you click them, and when they do it takes a few seconds
• Undo/redo doesn't work properly anymore, and when you hit this commands you don't see anything happen until you pan around
• When you click an object, the sizing handles on corners/sides don't appear until you move your cursor off the object
• Toggling from Preview to Normal viewing modes takes like 5 secondsAnd I'm sure I'll come across more as I continue working. What an absolutely frustrating experience every time we update, why can't Adobe figure this **** out? It's been how many years of the "Oh, maybe you need to delete your preferences, or... blah blah blah". It's like every time Adobe updates their software, they're doing it for the first time and the customers end up doing the work of trying to figure the issues out instead of the company making billions from us.
I am on MacBook Pro M1 Max, OS Sequoia 15.3.1 (latest, system info doc attached)
