I’ve cleared preferences through library, and when starting indesign.

It has several bugs randomly appearing. 

eg. Suddenly can’t undo, takes ages to quit, there’s a slight delay importing images...

    Hi ​@Rob29557400wpqk,

     

    I’m sorry to hear that InDesign has been behaving like this. In line with the expert’s suggestion, could you please share your full system details, including the exact OS version you’re using? 

    Also, could you please describe the undo issue in a bit more detail? For example, does it stop working completely, skip steps, or show any error? If possible, a short screen recording demonstrating all the three issues would be really helpful so I can review this more closely.

     

    Looking forward to your update.

    Abhishek

    It seems OK now, perhaps it was Indesign version control my end. I’ll get back to you if I encounter more issues.

    Full system specs, please. The undo bugs were supposed to have been fixed with 21.2.
