This issue is driving me up a wall! Texts keep disappearing until I scroll but any edits whatsoever it disappears again. Taking me forever to do my work!

Same here, another M1 Mac user on Big Sur and it's incredibly frustrating.

Adobe, please fix!

I am on Indesign pre-release version (Apple M1) and it is properly driving me up the wall.

Things are taking 3x longer and causing typos and formatting issues, WTF.

Unbelievable that Adobe did have not supported such a key piece of software on the new mac from the start.

Using InDesign 16.2.1 (subscription) on MacBook Air 2021 with the M1 processor and Big Sur, the same thing is happening to me for the first time. Extremely frustrating.

HAS THIS BEEN FIXED?
Yes - I am screaming. Working on a new M1 iMac - subscription - this has never happened before.
IS THERE A FIX?

I have inDesign 16.2.1 ...and it is still happening very often ...and it is VERY fustrating!! Hope this can be fixed ASAP, since this is slowing down my work very much.

Has this been fixed yet? Not for me. So darn annoying and time consuming.

<<ahh! My message was just erased>> what I SAID was that you can simply dupe your text box by dragging to pasteboard, then when visibility returns, delete the dupe.

It is utter PIA and I believe that it was built into this software to drive users to the more costly subscription.

a quick fix is to duplicate your text box by dragging while holding down the option key. Visibility returns, then delete the dupe.
It's an utter PIA and I believe it was built in to the software to drive users to the more costly subscription version.

Still happening. I cannot create my document, so what do I do?

Update: My wireless keyboard caused the issue when I hit enter to start a new paragraph. When I use my laptop keyboard the text frame works as intended.

This is happening to me as well. And in Illustrator too. Very frustrating!!

Text disappearing while editing is still my biggest issue, even with new versions of the program.

This issue is plaguing me now, and I will attempt to install a 2018 version of InDesign work from that. The same lame response from InDesign "Admin" appears several times in this thread. How can this issue go unaddressed for the large user base having problems with disappearing type, or will all of your development resources be diverted to the new Apple silicon versions of Adobe products?

Same problem here, as of this evening. Help!!!! Please fix this!!! ID 16.0.1. Text is there, exports to pdf fine, I can edit it in editting window but disappears on page.

Same problem suddenly (in the last week) with InDesign 14.0.3 (2019). So it may not be Adobe if across different versions? If it is then Adobe needs to fix this ASAP or tell us what is wrong.
Thanks

Same problem. ID needs to fix this ASAP. I have wasted so many hours redoing text boxes and now image frames too. What is going on????! This update is a disaster. Why did I run the update?
PLEASE FIX IT.

Happened to me also. I had saved my document with the list number.
I suppressed the list number and my text reappered .
But it's not helping me cause I need to count those paragraphs...

I tried what last anonyme said (story editor. Scroll to the part which says"overset text". Delete the line before) but it didn't work for me. I'm also in ID 2020 on a MAC

Something which worked for me. Go into story editor. Scroll to the part which says"overset text". Delete the line before and whalla...

Also in version 16 there is always the problem of the text that disappears ... TO BE SOLVED PLEASE! how can you work in this way?

In documents with notes it becomes really difficult to work, I confirm that it cannot be trusted, it takes a long time to check and verify the layout, SOLVING THIS PROBLEM IS VERY IMPORTANT!
