How do I stop InDesign from blinking. Every time I go to edit anything or do anthing like drawing a text block or image block or copy paste, the background blinks. I have reinstalled InDesign, I have restarted my computer. I have the blinking turned off in Story Editor. It's very annoying and bothers my eyes. I'm super close to using Affinity and canceling my Adobe subscription.

Have you tried disabling the GPU Performance Indesign preference?

I'm having the same problem, and I've tried reinstalling, restarting coputer, disabling the GPU Performance, and reenabling it. I really hope there's a solution because it's making me positively seasick trying to edit my document.

Interesting. I had the blinking problem while trying to edit text. It never happened before today. The entire page blinked to white as I dragged the cursor over the page, restoring the page when I let go of the cursor. But my GPU Performance was off. Switching it on solved the problem.

Changing the GPU setting has stopped the blinking. Thank you so much.
