Question

InDesign sistemic bugs

Hi all good people.

 

I would like to report some dissatisfaction that I have been feeling with InDesign. For some time now, regardless of which version I use—2023 or 2024—I still haven't had the courage to update to 2025.


Chromatic artifacts—red or green—regularly appear, resulting in large patches of color that only disappear when scrolling the document.


Sometimes when I make changes to the text with find/replace that only become visible when I edit the text again.


And finally, if the computer goes to sleep, when I return I find that all the work is gone. This situation is only restored if you exit and re-enter the document.


These situations are very common and very boring. I wonder if it is acceptable for a company of Adobe's size and importance to have this type of bug in its programs.


As I read here somewhere, I'm also starting to consider changing editorial tools. Affinity Design is gaining ground and increasingly positioning itself as a more stable alternative, not to mention its very tempting pricing policy.

 

I work with a Mac Studio M2 Max with 96GB, an Apple Studio Display and an Eizo ColorEdge as a second monitor.

 

Any ideas you can share to restore my trust in Adobe?

 

Thanks.

Have you tried to switch monitors - and work only on EIZO?

First question: did you try to toggle GPU Performance in preferences? (Switching it on OR off sometimes solves certain display issues with no particular consistency established so far.)

No. I've never actually tried that. I will test and see if it solves the problem. If so… my fault.
