Same problem on PC and with the latest version of InDesign. It’s impossible to work on the text: it keeps disappearing, and to make it reappear I have to scroll. I’m forced to use other editors and then paste everything at the end.

The problem started about a month ago, and it is driving me nuts. I'm working on a 12-page newsletter, and every time I add or change the text, it disappears. This project is taking much too long.

I'm also using InDesign 2026 on a PC.

Version 21.0 -- It's happening every few minutes as I'm editing text in my documents. People on the Adobe Community forums have been reporting it as an ongoing bug so maybe you could update your response to acknowledge the return of this old problem.

This happens to me too, since the last update. Its very annoying and takes up a lot of time to scroll or wait. not to mentiont he annoyance of the whole thing.

A few of us at my work are having the same problem. CTRL Z restores the text - but it is annoying. We are using PCs

Same issue here. It's very frustrating, so please make sure to fix this asap. Thanks

When you highlight a section of text with the right mouse button for further processing (e.g. cutting), a large part of the text suddenly disappears. It comes back – but sometimes not quickly – when you scroll.

Same issue. Text disappears when typing or editing. Reappears after scrolling away then scrolling back. Big detriment to document creation or revision. Hopefully, you can develop a fix soon. Thank you.

The same happens to me... it's annoyng and frustrating. I'm not able to write down or correct a text without interruptions (each 5 seconds!) please, do something...

This happens to me, however I'm not on a gpu preview as my screen at work is only 1080 and wont support the gpu rendering. It does behave like a re-draw issue though.

Interestingly adding a transparent box over the block of text before editing it can reduce the problem. The text changes appearance instead - like looking at a non aliased preview. Screenshot with an opaque box to show how the text tries to disappear but instead is rendered on top of the red box, only on the paragraph I'm editing.

I am having the same issue, and now InDesign has disappeared text and images on multiple pages. In addition to the history disappearing, this is making my job extremely difficult.

Same! So frustrating! It comes back if I toggle between Normal and Preview views.

I'm getting this in InDesign 21.1 x64 on Windows 11 Home too. Whole text frames of text appear empty when they are actually filled. It's not an overflow or an overlap issue - scrolling to another page and then returning usually makes the text reappear. Also the letter spacing sometimes appears wrong even though it's actually correct.

This never happened on the previous version of InDesign. I am using a windows unit.
Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 25H2
OS Build 26200.7462
Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core (TM) i3-1215U (1.20 GHz)
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Graphic Card 128MB

I hope this helps.

I am experiencing the disappearing text issues again - I havent seen much about them since 2017 - but as I am editing text entire paragraphs are disappearing - sometimes entire pages. It's a huge problem. I even moved my files to the cloud and opened them on two different devices (an additional laptop and my home desktop) to see if it was my computer failing; across the board, I saw the same text-disappearing issues. As this is the main program I use for creating my publications, I am very worried about it. Please see the photos below for context.

This has been happening to me, too. While also intermittent, it seems to most happen when I insert a cursor to make a paragraph change or select copy to delete. When the latter, the copy prior to what I selected just disappears. All the disappeared copy does come back when I "undo" it. But it is annoying and time-consuing to have to keep doing that.

This is happening with me as well and I have had colleagues at my office mention it.

I'm on a PC and am running InDesign v 21.1 - updated 9 days ago.

Annoying situation but not as annoying as the undo bug.

When will the fix be done? It is very, very frustrating to keep having to scroll up and down for the text to appear. Also happens when I highlight the text, it goes blank and then I have to scroll up or down or click out of the box.

this happens to me as well.
