I've installed InDesign CS5 and it's running terribly when I have graphics placed, especially at high resolution display. It's choppy, sticky - to much to even work with. I've thrown out the SavedData and InDesign Defaults, but it doesn't help. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or have any ideas what I can do. CS4 runs fine.
I've had a minute to work through your suggestions, and done all you suggested, even down to deselecting the live spell checking, nothing has corrected the issues. I've created new pages, same results. I have to admit, the more I use it the more the Illustrator files and text boxes do seem to be stickier than psd, eps or tif's.
BTW - I am using the Apple Multi-Touch Magic Mouse. Now to be fair to Adobe, I've had strange anomalies with the Magic Mouse before, including erratic scrolling. It's a neat device, but not yet perfected in my opinion. I don't think they are related however, since CS4 still works smoothly.
Same issue for me also ... running on a 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac
(8GB Ram. Mac OS 10.6.4. ATI Radeon HD 4850.)
CS4 works great ... no sluggishness.
CS5 has to stop and redraw anytime I move something. About a 1 second delay.
Setting Live Screen Drawing to Immediate is actually the least painful option. At least then I can see my object as I'm moving it. Using Never and Delayed causes everything to disappear until I let go of the object ... then it all pops back after about a second.
Tried all 3 settings – Never, Delayed and Immediate – and nothing fixes the problem. Will probably use CS4 unless they're able to correct this with an update.
Are any of you using custom keyboard shortcut sets or anything similar that you imported from a previous version? In another thread that's just been linked to keys not working correctly.
What about font managers? (did I ask that already?)
No on custom keyboard stuff. I'm using FontAgent Pro. However, when I created a test user, FontAgent was not running.
The problem for me seems to stem primarily from .ai files that are placed. When high quality preview is on, everything is horrible. If I'm just using photo images, although it slows, it's not nearly as bad.
No custom keyboard shortcuts here. Nothing imported from older files. I use FontDoctor to check for problem fonts, otherwise Apple's Font Book. I notice super stickyness regardless of the presences of ai files or not.
I have found something that slightly seems to help on my end. (Emphasize slightly helps) Going to, View > Grids & Guides, then deselecting everything. This helps with a bit of the jumping in high res. I figure it is like eliminating speed bumps in the road. It makes the ride a little smoother. Maybe it will help you guys a bit.
It's still awful, but just a bit less awful, and I will take any improvement I can get.
Turning off preflight did not change anything. I tried turning of the snap to grid and smart guides, which doesn't help, but does make the experience seem smoother because of the "not snapping". If I put in a super simple vector file, it's not as bad.
I'm having the exact same issue with moving graphics around in ID CS5, new or older documents... and that's with 16GB RAM and a 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT video card. I've never experienced it in CS4.
What are you guys using for mice? The newest Apple mouse does not seem to get along well with ID as far as scrolling, and I think I may have seen some posts about trying to drag page items, too.
I don't know how many pixels my "cinerama" amounts to. The Mac Pro runs a couple of heavy duty graphics cards and I know that in any of the CS4 products I never had this issue.
I'm not a ranter, I can live with this. I'll wind the display down to "Typical" and see if that helps.
