Schlagschatten springt hin und her

Ich habe dieses Problem hier schon einmal gepostet, finde es aber leider nicht mehr.

 

Wenn ich einem Objekt einen Schlagschatten zuordne und dieses Objekt danach auf meiner Seite verschiebe, verschiebt sich auch der Schlagschatten völlig willkürlich. Passiert auch mit Objekten, die bereits einen Schlagschatten haben. Der Fehler lässt sich in jedem ID Dokument reproduzieren und scheint ein Darstellungsproblem zu sein. Sobald ich das Dokument schließe und danach wieder öffne ist alles in Ordnung.

 

CPU Vorschau ein bzw. ausschalten bringt keine Verbesserung. Ich vermute einen Bug im Programm. Ich frage mich nur, warum dieser nicht schon längst behoben wurde.

 

der Schatten wird über Effekt → Schlagschatten erstellt

 

 

 

korrekte Darstellung

falsche Darstellungen sobald ich das Objekt verschiebe

    Hi ​@holger.volz, ​@schickimichi, and everyone following this thread,

     

    Thank you all for your continued patience and for taking the time to test the latest release.

    I'm really sorry that you're still experiencing this issue. Unfortunately, it appears that the problem has resurfaced in the current release. The team is aware of it and is actively working on another fix. I'll continue to follow the progress closely and will keep this thread updated as soon as I have any new information to share.

    In the meantime, you can also follow and upvote the related UserVoice report here:

    If you have access to the latest InDesign PreRelease build, we'd really appreciate it if you could test the behavior there and let us know whether the issue is resolved on your end.

     

    Thank you again for your continued support, patience, and feedback throughout this investigation.

    It is shameful for Adobe that this problem has been known for so long and nothing is being done about it. We pay a lot of money for this software, yet the customer is left to deal with the problem alone!

    Hi ​@holgerv265338, 

     

    I'm truly sorry to hear that the issue is still persisting and understand how frustrating this must be, especially after updating and waiting for a fix.

    The reason I requested a new screen recording from InDesign 21.5 (showing Help > About InDesign first, followed by the complete workflow) is so we can verify the exact build you're running and compare the current behavior against the fix that was implemented. This information is important for us to investigate further with the product team and determine why the issue is still reproducible on your system.

    We appreciate your patience and your continued help in providing the requested information. It will help us move the investigation forward. Thank you.

    I was offered an update to version 21.5 today, which I installed. Unfortunately, the problem has not been fixed and persists.

    Hi @holgerv265338,


    Thanks for testing the latest 21.5 update and for letting us know. I'm sorry to hear that the issue still persists.

    Could you please share a short screen recording that first shows your exact InDesign version via Help > About InDesign, and then demonstrates the complete workflow from applying or moving the object with the drop shadow up to the point where the issue occurs? This will help us verify exactly which build you're running and compare the behavior with the fix that was implemented.

    Looking forward to your update. Thanks again for helping us investigate this.

    Abhishek

      Hi ​@holger.volz,

       

      Thanks for reaching out, and I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing this issue. Adding to the expert’s suggestion, could you please check this thread and confirm if the behavior, you’re seeing matches what is described there?
      https://community.adobe.com/questions-671/indesign-2026-drop-shadows-graphical-glitch-898121?postid=898121#post898121

      If it appears to be the same issue, a bug has already been logged, and the product team is working on a fix. In the meantime, could you also confirm whether the problem occurs when the object has any rotation applied?

      I’ll keep you posted here as soon as I have any updates from the team.

       

      Looking forward to your confirmation.

      Seems to be the same problem, even if I rotate the object.

          Can you just check it on an OS version other than Tahoe. There have been reports of bugs in InDesign with this OS version and it is still not listed in the supported versions at https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/system-requirements.html
