Bug Report: Incorrect display of selected objects/boxes

Question

Since the latest update of Adobe InDesign to version 20.1. I have problems with the correct display of selected image and text boxes. When I select a box, it is not actively displayed, I have to zoom in or out first so that the box is actively displayed. If I select a box and want to move it with the arrow keys, I don't see the change, I have to zoom in or out again until the box moves. I have the same problem when I select a box with the mouse and want to move it. This bug is quite annoying if you want to work precisely and place objects at the maximum zoom level. Do others know this problem? I did not have this problem in older versions.

Operating system: MacOS Sonom 14.6.1
Device: Macbook Pro M3

Other users also report problems with object selection and moving in InDesign 20.1. Although I'm not sure they're exactly the same as the ones you're reporting. You can go through threads for the last few days.

Still, try to toggle GPU Performance in Preferences - will it make a difference?

Also, try these general troubleshooting steps:

If all fails, try to revert to the previous version, 20.0.1 (you can do so from the Creative Cloud app; find InDesign then Other Versions menu.
