Oh my gosh! The Document Fonts folder workaround appears to work for me as well! When I remove that folder from my package the file runs as normal. Hopefully this helps the InDesign team diagnose and patch this issue.An error occurred while saving the comment I've had this issue ever since first downloading the newest InDesign. It will work as normal for maybe a few actions to start and then rainbow wheel after rainbow wheel of lag trying to do the most basic functions (copy and pasting both inside program and from something like Acrobat or Word, scrolling, typing, drawing shapes, moving objects, etc.). The delay is usually 1-2 seconds, sometimes upwards of 5.
I've followed my Activity Monitor when the issue occurs and the reading under "% CPU" will usually jump up somewhere between 50-85% with the rainbow wheel spins. For comparison, I also watched the Activity Monitor while working in a file in InDesign 19.5.1 (no issues), and it would stay consistently between 20-30% during all the same actions.
I've tried
-uninstall/reinstall of Indesign 20.0.1
-"Reset Preferences on Quit” under InDesign-Preferences-General,
-closed Indesign and held down cmd opt ctrl and shift at next startup to get question to reset preferences, selected “Yes” as application started up
-Renamed ~/Library/Caches/com.adobe.indesign and ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign (added “old” to the end of each as noted on Adobe Community site) and restarted applicationNone of these have solved this problem sadly.

The Document Fonts folder is created whenever you Package a file in InDesign. The package puts your INDD file (files plural if packaging a Book) into a new folder along with separate Links and Document Fonts folders that said InDesign file(s) will then be linked to. These packages are what I primarily work from as I mostly work in packaged books made up of several INDD files that amount to hundreds of pages.
