I am not a frequent user of Indesing but I manage.

A couple of nights ago I've worked on this file, replaced some text, all good, smooth sailing.
Last night I updated Indesing as per Creative Cloud suggesiton , I think I have now 15.0.2 and it's a lemon.
I can't edit my text field without haing to wait several seconds. A simple selection of text takes 4-5 seconds if not more. Delete a single character and it takes ages.
I've restarted my PC, Windows 10, without any success, closed everything all other applications, no improvement.
There's a bunch of "Adobe CEP HTML Engine" in the Task Manager.
Memory load is less than 1Gb. ( on Indesign )
Processor is jumping occasionally to 20% or so.
I've reduced the display quality to fast, changed the UI size, still no luck.
No clue what's going on.
Thanks for your help.

Correct answer MoonaLisa

So, moved back one minor version down.
15.0.1 now, and it works fine.
I'll let the geeks sort this one out.
Peace !

Had the same Problem. I switched from my tablet to mouse. That fixed the problem for me.... Are you guys also tabletusers?

Ran into something like this my self on a 2-page document. Specifically the 2-page document; other files were working fine. Tried every solution I could find, and then tried breaking the links between the various frames in the 2-page layout so they were all their separate little islands of text without flow between them. Guess what? It wasn't slow any more. *Ridiculous* that a problem of this sort could happen with a file so small.

Hi. I've just discovered that if you change the colour PREFS from LG UltraFine to Apple RGB in the display settings, all works brilliant. Seems that there is an issue with Adobe's code with LG UltraFine monitors. Pass this on please.
