1. I lost all Save, Save As, Undo functionality (everything is grayed out). To save my work, I have to export as an IDML .

   Lost all Save, Save As, Undo functionality while working.
   To save my work, the only thing to do is to export as an IDML file. Force quitting to recover the file doesn't work. This has been happening to me since InDesign 5.5. I am currently using InDesign CC 2018. There are no particular steps, it happens at random. I can have several files open and it only happens to one file, or sometimes it's more than one file. It happens whether I'm working off of my Desktop or on our server.

   As part of the investigation into the cause of this issue, we personally reached out to many of you over email. We have so far heard from only some of you.

   Of the responses we have received, the conclusion we’ve come to is:
   This issue was intermittent, happened once during the course of work but somehow got resolved and has not happened again. This issue can’t be reproduced now.

   Over a period of time, this thread has not thrown any fresh clues on why this issue seems to occur randomly for some and then seems to resolve itself. So we’re closing this thread.

   However, even though we’re closing this thread, if you again run into this issue any time on a consistent basis, please report it here on UserVoice (in a new thread) with supporting assets like:
   A) a test file,
   B) detailed steps to replicate the issue
   C) any specific type of content that causes this
   D) a screen recording, etc.
   E) ID version, OS, etc.
   (You can put the testing artifacts at a shareable location and share the link with us, reaching us at sharewithID@adobe.com OR rkiran@adobe.com.
   This will help us immensely in determining a proper fix for this issue.

   We seek your continued support to help improve InDesign. Let us do it together.

2. InDesign is very slow

   The latest version is virtually unusable. If I select an image or text box on a layout I get a spinning wheel for 10 - 15 seconds. If I try to move something - spinning wheel 10-15 seconds. Try to save a document - spinning wheel 10-15 seconds. Previous versions did not behave this way on this same computer. No other applications behave this way.

   My Mac is a late 2012 model, 32Gb RAM, 2 SSD drives; one for the OS / Applications and one for the customer files. GeForce video card (came with the computer with 1Gb RAM.

   I have attached a Quicktime video of this behavior. The long pauses between seeing the cursor move are the times when the application has a spinning wheel. Then is works for a minute or two and starts all over again.

   Dozens of users in the forums are reporting this problem with this version.

   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.

3. stalls intermittently, seconds to minutes of spinning beach ball or Application not responding

   Stalls to a spinning beach ball intermittently during use. Add images in frames, move images or add text, what-ever, it suddenly just stalls and can take seconds to minutes before clearing. CS6, the CC2017 worked fine. Now CC2018 seems to have regressed in performance. I have to FORCE QUIT at times. MacOS Sierra 10.12.6

4. CC 2020 + Catalina makes computer really slow

   On a brand new iMac (Catalina), opening CC 2020 apps makes everything lag. When Adobe apps are not open, computer performance is fine. According to the Adobe Support Community, this issue seems pretty widespread and Adobe's suggested fixes do not help.

5. stuck on type tool

   I'm stuck on the Type tool. It won't let me select or change my tools at all. I've had to shut down and restart three times now. Whenever I get into the type tool, it stays and I can't get out or click anywhere else. Keyboard shortcuts do not work

6. mouse lag in indesign when photoshop window open

   Experiencing terrible mouse lag in indesign, the cursor flickers constantly and it feels like the mouse is swimming through mud. Nearly enough to make the program unusable. Reinstall fixes the problem temporarily but it returns within 30mins.

   I have identified that this only happens when a photoshop window is open behind or next to the indesign window.

   Indesign 13.1
   Photoshop 19.1.2
   Mac os sierra 10.12.6

   We confirmed that the 60Hz version MODEL A2119 EMC 3279 works fine. The offending Apple dongle is MODEL A1621 EMC 2877 which is the obsolete model.

   Please upgrade the Apple dongle to overcome the issue.

8. spinning ball every minute

   InDesign CC 13.1
   When using InDesign, doesn't matter which file, or file size, every minute on the minute I encounter a spinning ball for 10 seconds.

   I use InDesign for a majority of my work, so there is almost an hour of work time lost each day.
