1. Copy/Paste of image/graphic blocks very slow

   Adobe InDesign CC 13.1 on Sierra
   The copy and paste of graphic blocks in the same doc is very slow. When there is not a large number of links, it is pretty ok BUT when adding a lot of new picture links, the wheel keeps turning during ca. 10/15 seconds after each copy and paste of a graphic block also.

   The temporary solution is to change the name of the image folder so to disable the dynamic links to pictures. But not ideal.

2. Cross Referencing Annoyance. Bang Head. Repeat.

   For the love of god fix the cross-referencing slowdown! It literally makes working in multiple documents impossible because the cursor just locks up. This has been a bug for almost a decade. What's the deal?

3. Recent file panel

   When Indesign first opens, the time stamp on the recent file is not correct. Some of the files are marked "in an hour" as when they were opened. Others are just marked as 4 hours ago.

   The normal keyboard shortcut for hide does not work either on this screen.

   Hello All,

   Thank you for your patience all this while.
   We had launched our investigation into the matter to get to the root cause of the problem. As the part of our investigation, we had reached out to many of you personally over email.
   We have concluded our investigation and have come up with few findings.

   1. For many of the users the issue got fixed after updating InDesign to a newer version.
   2. For some, the issue got resolved after disabling a third-party application such as Suitecase fusion etc.
   3. For few, the issue was intermittent and is no longer reproducible.
   4. For majority of the users, the underlying cause of the performance issue was identified to be related to span columns, cross-references, third party plugin etc.

   We have created separated threads for these issues and we are now working towards resolving them.

   However, over the time this thread has become too generic to serve its purpose effectively. As per your feedback and the outcome of our investigation we have created multiple threads to address each root cause separately and effectively.
   If you are facing any slowness in InDesign or seeing any other performance issue, we request you vote for the relevant thread or create a new thread specifying the action/workflow which is slowing you down.
   We seek your support in our continuous effort to improve InDesign.

6. Horrible lag when creating or placing text - v. 20

   There is a 3 second lag when switching from the move tool to the text tool before the text tool even appears.

   Also a 3 second lag after the text box is set when then trying to select the text before the cursor even appears so I can paste or even just type text.
   and a 1 or 2 second lag before the text appears after I type it.

   Note: The document I am working with is 44 pages with hand drawn art placed from TIF files in the background and has paragraph styles. I also do "Save as" when saving. Using typical display settings not overprint preview. No other programs open but Word and Acrobat.

   So bad. Destroying my workflow.
   Can you help me fix this issue? Or figure out why it's happening?
   Any suggestions would help.

   Already reset preferences. No change.
   Tried starting with the IDML file. No change.

   NOTE: This Issue does NOT occur in a brand new document.

7. Adobe Indesign 2024 - frequent "Hang" issues & "error report" messages.

   1. We recently purchased Adobe Indesign 2024 and we are frequently facing "hang" issues where the screen gets stuck on opening an indesign file or while adding few lines of texts while editing a file. we are neither able to perform any further action nor close the indesign program. Only if we end the task we are able to exit.

   2. We have also been getting error report frequently and the working indesign file gets closed.

   3. In addition to that for the past 2 days, we are getting a pop-up message showing "do you want automatic recovery?" message, clicking yes on which the file gets stuck again.

8. slowdown

   Indesign is slow on opening and closing documents. I have reset preferences, installed the app and reinstalled, disabled plugins...everything I can think of to make it better. It's almost unusable. The forums are no help, I've tried the GPU toggle and their suggestions. It just sits there. This video doesn't show the spinning beachball but I get when opening or closing documents. It has destroyed my workflow and speed. What is there to do?

   Mac Studio 2023 M3 Ultra, 64gb ram, 2TB HD, Mac OS Sonoma 14.4.1, InDesign 19.4

9. Fix the touchpad

   Just fix the touchpad please. I've already discussed it In detail on the Adobe community (https://shorturl.at/hAPZ8), but the touchpad is not working well at all. Now it's just less worse than 19.0 but still not working properly. You can't pinch to zoom, unlike Illustrator for example, and in general, it's not smooth at all. Trying to scroll through a project is a challenge; it scrolls in jumps with almost zero control over it. Centering the project on the PC is impossible without control 0.

   Here's the full URL if you don't trust the shortened one: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-touchpad-scrolling-and-zooming-issues/m-p/14493331

10. screen flickering sonoma

    I know this is a known issue, but after 4 months, I would have hoped that a fix would have been developed by now. My fault for now researching before upgrading to Sonoma, but come on guys. I seriously can't believe how terrible my experience has been with both the new Macs and Adobe software. I have been doing design for 18 years, and have never had as much trouble in that time as I have had from both company's products in the last year. This is ridiculous! It is unfortunate for users that we have no other viable options to move to.

11. Please Support Folder Tags for Mac OS

    Finder Tags in Mac OS are used to quickly filter documents and folders in Application dialog boxes, as well as in the finder itself. Folder tags have never worked with InDesign, despite the function being supported by other CC apps. I use folder tags all of the time to organize artwork, as well as documents. Please fix this.

12. inDesign screen flashing on M2 Mac mini

    InDesign screen flashing on M2 Mac mini.

    The screen flashed when selecting text, moving objects, using marque select.
    Turning off rulers helps a lot. I've read that turning on/off GPU performance will solve this issue. The option is grayed out within inDesign but is available on Illustrator and Photoshop.

    inDesign version: 19.0.1
    OS version: Sanoma 14.1.1

13. High Cpu Usage indesign 2021-2022-2023-2024 versions...

    Hello, unfortunately I have this problem too, it constantly uses 30% of the processor when idle, I tried everything, but the problem is completely related to the new indesign versions. Adobe has not made a fix on this issue yet, when will you fix it, Adobe?

    I never experienced this problem in old versions. This problem is valid for 2021-2022-2023-2024 versions.

    I tested by installing all Indesign versions on my computer and found that the only problematic versions were versions 2021 and above.

    From the attached images, you can see the CPU usage of the 2020 version and the 2021 version. 2020 has no problems, but the 2021 version uses high processor idle.

15. Slow performance, only using 100% of one logical processor

    Since the update in March, InDesign (v 18.2.1 x64) runs extremely slow on my Windows 11 laptop. Never experienced such delays before. I have 16GB RAM and a AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics processor. InDesign appears to only use one of the sixteen logical processors and it slows down my entire system. Overall processor use may only be 34%, but the system is slowed down to the point where the mouse pointer doesn't even move.

    I use InDesign 18.2.1 on a MacBook Pro 2023 (M2 Max) with macOS Ventura 13.2.1. When the GPU preview is enabled, the page's content vibrates constantly. Please check the attached video (I made it by putting my iPhone on a tripod in front of my display because if I start a screen recording, the issue disappears).

17. Random display issue

    ID on a Apple M1 Max (OS 12.6) occasionally and randomly makes crazy displays. It is resolved when I quit and reopen the file, but still…

    First image is what the document should look like. Second image is what it becomes. Kinda cool, but not my intent.

18. Running very slow

    InDesign CC 2023: no matter what settings (I.e. how many times I change the display performance to fast or turn off a lot of features) there is still a 5-7 second delay on every single keystroke, every cursor movement, every selection, etc. etc. That is, if it doesn't just freeze altogether. My document is only 21 pages with minimal text and the images shouldn't be displayed at full resolution anyway, so there's no reason it should be this laggy. No other adobe program has this problem for me at the moment. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, that didn't work. I tried to clear the cache, but the keyboard shortcut didn't do anything. No matter what I do it doesn't even get faster. It's genuinely unusable at this point.

19. InDesign 18.0 (2023): still having issue where certain weights of fonts won't load/work (other weights/styles in the family do work).

    The only way I've been able to solve this is to revert to version 17.1 (had same issue with 17.2).
