Screen redraw failing in InDesign?

Hi Jack,

the issue should be fixed, entirely or partly I do not know, with version 17.2.

Unfortunately 17.2 has some new bugs with placing multipage PDFs or multiartboard Illustrator files.

And it is reported that there are issues with some fonts thar work for other applications, but cannot made available for InDesign.

Let's hope, that a new bug fix version will be issued very soon.

I can produce this issue on the mac mini with 16GB of RAM. Wonder if they had tested before releasing since the new macs are only a few. 

Youre not alone! tried to desactivate GPU etc... doesnt help... 

Hi,

read through the forum. It's full of threads like yours.

I'm on Windows 10 and cannot give good advice. Some say a restart of InDesign could fix it temporarily, some say trashing the cache could fix it temporarily. Some tell that 8GB of RAM on the M1 Mac is not enough, so closing other apps could fix it temporarily. All in common: there is no fix out yet that fixes this issue entirely.

One of many example threads:

Try turning off the GPU performance in the Preferences.
