text lag is severe in 17.3 compared to slight lag in 17.2
Mac OS 12.5, Indesign 17.3
anything that makes text reflow: Text edits, style changes, text wrap around an object lag severely in 17.3. The more text the longer the lag. Can be multiple seconds on a single page doc up to just crashing on an edit to a 50+ page doc when reflowing text.
I have reverted to 17.2 their is still a little lag but only a second or 2.
The forum interfacer won't let me upload indesign format files so I cannot provide test files. Email me if you need them.

Can't Click/Drag Large Area of Main Title Bar
This was introduced in 17.0 and I was hoping it would be fixed by 17.3 but it hasn't been addressed.
Large areas of the title bar can't be clicked on/interacted with so one can't drag/move the main program window.
I'd say about 50% of the title bar is like this.

Actual Size is not Actual Size
I was trying to view art at "Actual Size" under "View" and using the shortcut. The art is 9" and it is showing 11.0625" instead in InDesign 2022 (v17.2). I would really appreciate this being fixed as soon as possible. Or a solution as to why this is happening to be forthcoming. Thanks!

Opening a document now causes lag for about 30 seconds, where I have no control
- Version of Adobe InDesign: 17.1
- Steps to reproduce the issues: a. Open document from the Mac Finder. (This lag happens whether I start with InDesign open or closed. b. I have zero control of anything while a progress indicator spins for about 30 seconds. c. A font error dialog pops up, and then I can finally control InDesign, starting by dismissing that dialog. Expected result: I expect instant control of InDesign, since my computer isn't that old and it's a pro model. Actual result: Slowness, lag - way too much, considering most of my documents are 8 pages long with…

M1
I have issues with basic tasks in InDesign. I ordered a new MacBook Pro 16, M11 Pro, 16GB Ram, 1TB SSD
And just scrolling around in InDesign gave me the rolling spin.After updating to the newest indd Version and newest MacOs Version it did get better with small files, and moving a textbox worked finally.
But working with a bigger magazine file with 50 pages is not doable.I ordered a second m1 pro (same config) as thinking it might be a Hardware Issue. Same result.
I made a clean wipe of MacOs, only installed CC and Indd (and…3 votes -
InDesign 17.1 not working properly
InDesign (17.1) is acting very strange for the last two months. When I click on File, Edit, View or any other topic, the tab does not open. I cannot access any action under those tabs. Also, when I eventually get to work with my document, it is extremely slow to save. It turns, and turns forever. I've been working with InDesign for over 20 years and it's the first time I have so much trouble with the software. How can that be fixed?

De-Stick Alt Key After Zoom
When I press and hold the ALT key (Windows) to zoom with the mouse wheel, it doesn't release the way a sticky key should - once finished with mouse wheel zooming, I have to tap the Alt key a -second- time to release it. Not doing this results in the menu bar becoming active. Example: Press and hold Alt and zoom with the wheel. Finish zooming and release the sticky alt key. Now Tap the letter W to enter Preview mode ... but instead of Preview Mode, InDesign will drop down the --W--indow Menu, tapping W again then drops down…

Display Performance Issues
InDesign 2022 is having issues with Display Performance that results in spinning wheels and instability.
The only way to scroll successfully without locking up is to adjust the Display Performance settings under Preferences. On all previous versions, I have always had my settings to High quality. Now, the only way to be able to use the program without issue is to change the Raster and Vector settings to Proxy instead of High.
I can continue working that way, but the result is that all my graphics are pixelated and grainy, making it near impossible to see what I am working…

Can no longer change fonts in the glyph table
Can no longer change fonts within the glyph table.
It used to be possible to have a character selected and change fonts or typefaces in the glyph table to discover where that character exists in another font. Now it only reverts to whatever paragraph or character style is already applied and doesn't allow the font to be changed.

InDesign is still unusably slow
Despite many many threads about this, I cannot find an answer that solves this issue. I am getting a spinning wheel on almost every action I perform in InDesign. It spins for around 10 seconds and then is good until I do anything else. It is incredibly frustrating.
I am running InDesign 16.3.2 a part of Adobe CC 2021.
I am on a 2018 MacBook Pro, running Big Sur 11.4
32 GB Ram
2.9GHz i9 ProcessorI have tried a bunch of 'answers' from previous threads but none seem to work. Please help!

Can't drag & drop elements into CC Libraries panel
In the latest version (16.3.2), drag and drop of a graphic on to the CC Libraries panel no longer works - is broken. I have to use the "Add elements" + button instead.
I've quit and restarted InDesign, I've restarted my Mac. No change.

Indesign is very again now very Sluggish. But getting very annoying Read Only Save issues when working with Books and single files over a network. Only remedy is to save to Desktop and replace files. This is potentially very dangerous and could create very expensive mistakes.

turn off Touch workspace!
Can Adobe PLEASE stop making the Touch workspace compulsory every time the app launches. Not all users want this. We didn't ask Adobe to turn off our usual interface and replace it with a Touch version.
When we have to go through the mandatory 'hey this is new examples' EVERY TIME just to get into the app, only to have to turn it off by choosing "essentials" (top right) EVERY TIME we launch the app, it becomes a major pain.
Who on earth at Adobe throught this would be a good idea? Surely this is just a bug? Why isn't…

library panels display
the background color of the library panels in Indesign and Illustrator take on the same color of the interface (as from the latest version of indesign CC 16.1) As I have the dark interface selected, the icons and other assets are almost invisible. There is no way to change it, switching to the light interface is the only thing that helps.

PDF comment zoom changes
Steps to reproduce: .When clicking through the list of PDF comments and a new entry is called there is a chance that the zoom level of the Indesign view is being changed from its original setting. Expected result: the zoom level should be kept in line with the users setting. The focus should jump to the position even when a marked area might not be visible in full in that zoom level. Actual result: Zoom level changes, sometimes even when only a full stop has been marked in the PDF comment to e.g. full page view zoom which is time…
