InDesign CC 2019 performance issues / crashes

Having the same issues, when selecting the text box, it hangs/loads for 10 or so seconds.

I find the updated version to 2019 is very glitchy, is there a way of going back to the 2018 version until this is sorted?

Just plain crashing on opening, even when deleting preferences before or during (Ctrl+Shift+Alt) start. On a WIndows 7SP1 PC. Changing back to 2018 for now, I've got work to do.

Has anybody thought that maybe the new character features are too much for any computer?

I don't think that the programmers that made this update are graphic designers. On a regular computer, with system fonts, I'm sure that it works as a charm, but we install new fonts almost every day.

The new character panel lets you select some text and preview it in all your installed fonts at once. In my case 1554 fonts.

Somebody said it was maybe a problem of some third party font. But we are working with all kinds of fonts on our daily routine and we must be able to do it.

Not only because we LIKE that fonts, but because many times you have to work with earlier versions of some company's image and you got to install whichever fonts the previous designer used to make it work.

So, the new features are very cool, but I've been using many font viewers in the last years and they are always slow. ALL OF THEM. Because you can't expect to load 1554 fonts and preview a text fast. At least if you don't have a computer from the NASA.

And before you ask it, I work in MAC and in WINDOWS with different versions and all of them are freezing when I try to type.

is anyone getting this message? ---> Cannot open the file ...... Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.

Btw, anybody had any luck actually contacting Adobe? Seems they ONLY offer Forums for support and don't offer chat or any other options :-(

Upgraded from CC 13.1 to CC 14.1 and at first, it just crashed continually.  I followed the instructions above

deleting plist and indesign preference files

ran again.  Opened the file I'm working on - not major just a kids book with lots of little images and non-Latin typeface.

this time it did not crash but the usage of the program was so slow it was pointless even trying to use to use it.  Simple tasks like scrolling - yes SCROLLING!!!!!! not even manipulating anything was painfully slow.

I've had no issues on the previous version of Indesign with this file - this is a warning bell - you've done something to the app that is overkill on memory - possibly a missing pointer causing a memory leak.

To tell you the truth - I was running Illustrator together with inDesign - which is pretty normal for content creators - having multiple apps open at once.  So I don't accept that I should run InDesign alone.....I'm not prepared to sacrifice my productivity for some developer's incompetence at having a properly functioning quality control and testing on -real-world computers.

I'm running Mac OS Mojave (10.14), on a MacBook Pro 2017, 2.9 Ghz, i7, 16 Gb RAM, 1 Tb HDD, Radeon 560 4Gb GPU

I have no 3rd party plugins for InDesign, all Preferences are deleted. 

I'm not running much else - safari, activity monitor, and preview while running InDesign.

I have a bunch of apps installed (obviously not running at the same time) and have 400 Gb free space.

It's October 2018 and you're bringing out InDesign 2019 which doesn't run on an i7 - serious performance issues - this is a problem!!!

A serious problem!  In terms of Quality, I've never been so disappointed with a product that I've actually enjoyed using. The development team for InDesign has issues.  There have never been problems with Photoshop! Why does InDesign have performance issues?

Hm, seems like it's happening across the board. VERY SORRY I downloaded the damn update. And I don't find suggestions where one ought to be a damn programmer to try and fix this useful at all. ADOBE, if you're listening, FIX THE MESS. This is ridiculous.

Actualized system a few secs ago and it didn't help. Freezing and had to be shut down hard... Hope somebody finds out how to fix it...

Strange that happens the same on Mac and Windows..

Are you all updated to the latest Mac OS? I've tried everything on my iMac running macOS Sierra 10.2.6 and nothing works. Deleted previous versions of ID and all preferences, reinstalled the latest version of InDesign after restarting my iMac and still nothing worked. Do I have to upgrade to the latest macOS for this to finally work?
