Hi, I'm getting white screen flicker issues using Indesign ever since I upgraded my late 2015 27" imac to mojave 10.14.6. Restarting fixes it temporarily, but it's recurring, which is far from ideal. Any ideas? Thanks!

Try unticking GPU Performance in InDesign preferences, then closing and reopening the application.

Thanks Derek, I've done that and it helps, but Indesign seems to be lagging on big files now. I'm wondering if it's a Mojave/Ind/GPU thing with my machine (late 2015), and if there's a simple workaround that keeps the speed and functionality.

How much RAM and spare hard disk capacity do you have?

Have you tried resetting the InDesign preferences:

1) Close InDesign
2) Double click on Adobe InDesign's icon to launch it
3) QUICKLY hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift. (for Windows) or CTL+OPT+CMD+Shift (for Mac OS X)
4) When a dialogue appears, asking you “Delete InDesign Preference Files?” Click Yes.

(If you don't see the question do it again.)

What version of InDesign?

In the Preferences - if you have the option - see if you can adjust the UI scaling and if the issue fixes.

Thanks, but I don't seem to have this option on Mac
