This issue is back with a vengeance.

On Indesign 2026 and for 2 or 3 weeks, each time I select part of the text to emend it, this part of the text disappears (in black: see picture attached) and other parts as well (in white) and only reappears when I change something in the rest of the text (not anywhere nevertheless: I have to test different places). Thanks.

Hi, I just downloaded Indesign today and have been experiencing this issue. It is extremely frequent.

Buongiorno, anche noi abbiamo lo stesso problema il testo scompare mentre digitiamo, riappare digitando sulla barra di spaziatura. E' molto fastidioso.

I think appeared after last update... Affects documents I had no problem with before. All text on the page disappears after editing or selecting it (a bit randomly, but frequently), sometimes after pressing Ctrl-S to save file or just clicking somewhere to move cursor... only blank page is displayed - text is not actually removed, after using W twice to change view or changing scale the text is displayed again. Very annoying.

Version 21.0.2 x64 on Windows

Та сама проблема. Проблема з'явилась приблизно місяць тому. Періодично зникає текст під час редагування. Доводиться постійно змінювати масштаб, аби виявити його. Вчора, 22.12.2025, оновив програму. Проблема не зникла.
Працюю на ноутбуці у Windows.

i think its because of the GPU

Wonderfull, this is happening to me now with the newest 2026 update!
I have to scoll up so the page dissapears, then down again. Or move the text box une click . It's happening really often, like 3 or 4 times an hour, maybe more.

I'm on PC

The issue is happening with my version 21.02 I have tried changing performance metrics on my laptop and display settings and nothing helps it. Its very frustrating when editing.

Version: InDesign 21.0.2

Often when I select text, it disappears, only to become visible again after zooming or changing the viewing mode.
I haven't found a way to reproduce the problem, it seems to be random.

Just updated to the latest version and this bug is back again!

Is there a reason why this happens on iMacs that don't have the M1 chip? When editing text it usually takes a second click before the change updates and is visible.

Seems to be fixed on my Mac running 17.4
Fingers crossed!

I'm still having this issue 17.4

I STILL HAVE THIS ISSUE... 17.3

Hi,

I'm using a studio Mac M1 32 gO and i 've made a migration from Studio Mac M1 6gO to the 32 go one, but now i've some problems in indesign (duplication with "alt " doesn't work, the space barre (hand tool) doesn"'t work either, and the texts blocs grouped dissapear when you want to modify them. I don't know how to fix it, and 'im using a logitech blutooth keyboard. Can somebody help me pls ?

Currently using 17.3 and this issue still persists.

Have you guys tried to update to 17.2.1? It worked for me and a lot of other users…

For folks looking for a workaround (still annoying): zoom in/out to have the text reappear w/out having to leave the keyboard.

This issue has not been fixed- and not sure how to remove the "fixed" status on this issue. I first started noticing it when I switched to a new Mac on the Apple chip, though colleagues on Intel chips have also reported this issue. I run into the issue on versions 17.0, 17.1, 17.2, and 17.2.1 -- I had to roll back to 17.0 since fonts were broken in 17.2.x and in short, would appreciate an update from Adobe as to when INDD core functionality will be back.

To address an older comment—I run into this issue when the Activity Monitor shows only 17% usage ... so does not appear to be linked to overall computer performance.

On 17.2 and text disappearing still an issue on MacOS. I am also on Monterey. Also issues with accessing link panel. Need to click three or four times to access. This version super buggy. Never seen anything like it
