Hi.

I am using InDesign 16.0 on macOS Catalina 10.15.7.

When I use InDesign, my cursor flickers. It doesn't happen with Photoshop or Illustrator.

I already tried resetting the preferences, but nothing changed.

Thank you for you help.

I have exactly the same setup as you and don't experience that. Can you be more specific about when your cursor flickers.

Please see the other comments, maybe you can re-create the issue while having documents open in Photoshop, which is definitely the cause for at least 3 of us.

I habe the same problem:

If there is one document open in psd, the cursor flickers in different other programs – it changes its form from the tool to the normal MAC cursor very quickly. This problem occurs ind indd, illustrator, safari, mail eg. when i close all doks in psd the problem is gone. BUT: I´m workin parallel with all programs, interactive, so i cant always close documents to erase this problem.

Please Adobe fix this problem – in my opinion the problem is bases partially to the tool settings in PSD!

Thanks @moellerart  I have been suffering from that flickering cursor forever – I think you have figured it out: Closing all PS documents 'solves' it — not a real solution though. Your post is a already a year old but unfortunatly Adobe still has not fixed the issue. Maybe next year.

Confirmed! Cursor flickers horribly in InDesign when moving, especially when moving over objects that make the cursor change to something else. Closing all open documents in Photoshop (but with Photoshop still running) completely fixes the issue.

Definitely not a proper fix, but nice to have the issue narrowed down this much! @wrensauer could you please get this to the relevant team for a fix?

Mine is especially prevalent when I am in an indesign table and trying to adjust the column size. Drives me crazy!

Hi,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. Can you confirm the version of InDesign & OS and if this is happening on a specific file or multiple files?

 

Thanks
