Mac Indesign 21.4.1 Undo/Redo does not work. Plus stability issues. Never had stability and lagging issues with Indesign until last couple updates. Very frustrating and complicates my workflow. Need to force quite often as well. Bad update. I am thinking about reinstalling earlier versions.

    I am having the exact same issues. Apparently Adobe are aware of the problem. So frustrating indeed.

    Hi ​@grega72738645,

     

    I'm sorry to hear you're running into these issues. I understand how frustrating it is when Undo/Redo stops working and the application becomes unstable, especially when it interrupts your workflow.

    Could you please confirm your macOS version? Also, please try resetting your InDesign preferences manually by following the video at the bottom of this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/setting-preferences.html, then restart InDesign (or your Mac) and let us know if the issue persists.

    If you're still experiencing the problem, please share the requested diagnostic information by following the instructions in this tracking thread: https://community.adobe.com/questions-671/indesign-21-2-undo-greyed-out-and-history-panel-blank-on-macos-tahoe-and-ventura-1551926?postid=7543173#post7543173. If possible, please also share the screen recording here so we can better understand the behavior and assist with the investigation.

     

    Looking forward to your update.

    Abhishek

    UPDATE: Reinstalled version 21.3 and it’s a lot better. I’ll be staying away from these updates for a while.
