Entire Page Flckers and "Blinks" When Moving/Placing/Editing Content
I'm painfully aware that this issue is going to be a monster to describe and was impossible to get a screen grab of (at least for me).
First, I'm using the most current version of InDesign, 18.5, on a Mac, Studio M1 Max with Apple Display Monitor running Sonoma 14.1. Been using InDesign since it came out. The ONLY thing that's different in my setup is I upgraded to the Kensington SlimBlade Wireless trackball, I've had the wired one since SlimBlade came out and finally splurged on the wireless. Wouldn't you know it, there is a blip in the Kensington Works Software, so I uninstalled the latest version and went back one version and fixed that issue.
Now, every time I touch an image, a block of text, or anything in InDesign to move it, the entire InDesign window flickers or blinks. Once, just once, but if I'm dragging it around a bit, it continues to flicker with each move. Only the elements flicker, not the workspace or any of the tools, etc.
My brain is trying to force this to be connected to the trackball, but that is a leap. I work in InDesign almost every day and this has me at a standstill. Ideas anyone??? Yep, I have shut everything down 3x, double-checked for updates, all the usual stuff.
It is like my own strobe light show. While I'm luckily not seizure-prone, I do have some vision blips that are aggravated by this. Not to mention, a headbanger headache!
Help, sympathy, and ideas are all accepted!
