Hello

I am using indesign on my 14inch macbook pro apple m1 monterey. Each time I move an object the artboard & background workspace flashes. I have checked and both my indesign & macbook softwares are up to date.

I have noticed it seems to happen when I drag the indesign window from my main macbook screen to my seperate monitor. That seems to activate the glitch and then it flashes each time I move an object on both my macbook & monitor screen.

Hoping theres a way to fix this thanks

Problem is fixed in Sonoma 14.3 released January 22.

Yes! This worked for me too! By ticking GPU back resolved the issue!

Turning off the rulers worked for me but unticking GPU Performance did not.

MacBook Pro M1Max here and a similar issue is experienced. Although, turning off the GPU helps, the whole experience suffers by becoming sluggish. What I have identified is that turning off the rulers resolves the flickering effect (View -> Show Rules). This is of course applicable only if you can work without the rulers.

This trick worked for me – thank you! I've been seeing the flicker even when just hovering over objects in some documents. In my case, I turned the rulers back on right away and the color remained stable. We'll see how long it holds, but it's an easy workaround even if it's temporary. A quick command-r to turn rulers off and back on doesn't even disrupt the workflow.
