InDesign flashes white every time I click on a page
When using InDesign, it flashes white every time I click on it. If I click and hold, the screen become completely white. This is very annoying, almost impossible to work. I cannot highlight anything or draw a marque without getting the white flashing. Even when I'm just moving around a page, it flashes. This is migraine-inducing.
I have InDesign 18.5.1 and there are no updated available, I just checked. This has really slowed down my workflow. I know you closed the previous listing for this, but it's not fixed.
Help!

Installing InDesign 2024 still removes all preferences, shortcuts, and workspaces — even in v19.1
Despite the previous thread about this marking the problem as being resolved, it is not — not even with the latest update 19.1 ... not for me at least. I've uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign 2024 multiple times at this point to no avail.
This is a serious issue for professional users who have very specific settings that take time to create and are necessary for maintaining a consistent workflow between versions.
Please resolve.

Red shapes appear on Indesign Pages
• Indesign 18.3 (but problem has persisted from earlier versions)
• Mac Book Pro with M1 Max running Ventura 13.4.1 (but problem has persisted from earlier versions)This bug has persisted since I upgraded to my current MacBook. When dealing with (usually large) documents, strange red shapes appear on the pages in . Zooming in or out or changing the view or Display Performance settings can get them to disappear, but they eventually return. They are not actual objects and I have not had any issues with crashes or with the resulting files. See the attached screen shot for an…

Hover Scrolling Disabling
PLEASE introduce an option to disable hover scrolling on selection. If I have selected a text box and want to scroll down to align options in Properties, I always end up changing the leading, language, font, etc. I don't know anyone that would want to use hover scrolling to make those changes. Maybe click and drag like the other apps would work. Please look into this issues as it has been years and this has not been fixed.

Numbers keys on extended keyboard not recognized when trying to fit window e.g.Ctrl+0.
Numbers keys on extended keyboard not recognized when trying to fit window e.g.Ctrl+0.
InDesign should have the same fit to window or 100% functions as Illustrator or Photoshop.
The only thing that does work on the extended numeric keypad is the + and - keys.

Incorrect cursor movement when selecting text
There is an annoying bug when selecting the text: extending the selection is working incorrectly.
To reproduce:
1. Select a word with the mouse. Make sure the word is in the middle of the text. Select the characters from left to right
2. Now Shift+Left Arrow modifies the BEGINNING of the text, instead of the END.
Why is this a bug?
Open any other text editing software and see the difference: when selecting text with the mouse, the cursor is placed where the mouse button is released. If selecting from left to right, then pressing Shift+Arrow keys, will shrink/grow the…3 votes -

Opening a menu item such as preferences sets of the "error" sound in windows until the item is closed
When I open a menu item such as Print or Preferences or Export, windows begins making the "error" sound as if you clicked in an inappropriate spot. The sound continues until I close whatever menu item I opened. This only started with the update to InDesign 2023.

.idlk files not recognized/ignored when .indd files are in a Dropbox directory
InDesign 2023 v18.00
.idlk files are not recognized when working from a shared Dropbox folder. This issue appears to be very extensive and well documented. While I understand the many different use cases (synced/not synced, not connected to the internet, etc..) It would just make sense for InDesign to check for .idlk files within Dropbox directories and let Dropbox/Users figure out the potenetial for syncing errors and find a solution when those issues arise.This causes very frustrating issues for collaborative teams.

Indesign GPU enablement on Windows
InDesign 17.4 x64
It would be nice and desirable if there was also GPU support in Indesign and Windows 11 Pro like Photoshop and Illustrator.

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.

gpu
Graphics Card not being used on macOS.
I am using a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) with AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB, however the GPU is never being used (according to activity monitor).
Within Indesign, the GPU is detected, and the GPU-Performance is enabled.The performance is really bad and many times the CPU maxes out at 100%, which makes sense because the dedicated GPU is never utilised.
But why? Shouldn't this work?

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…
