InDesign 16.2.1 showing red bar on workspace

[Cindy5DA9]

Can't open more than one file in Indesign, get weird red or blue banner/line and when I scroll down the image lags and can't select certain files.

In my job, I have to get out multiple language files and it is easier to work in batches. How can I solve this as it is slowing down my work time!

Hi juliemikalacki,

installed 16.2.1.102 today on my German Windows 10 Pro.

A fresh install, no migration of preferences.

Cannot see this issue.

Yes. But mine are blue. I'll work on a page and use a shortcut to Zoom and all of sudden my spread is covered in blue or gray. One time a strip of blue appeared across the top of the spread where the folio is. I've had phantom black rules appear and when I close a document dark rectangles. This is not surprising because in the past year or so, I've noticed a lot more instability in the program. For instance, I set my program to open with a workspace I created and I more often than not have to switch to it from Essentials. I've also set the workspace to default to the Eyedropper tool, not Color Theme but that also gets overridden. (Seriously, Adobe, who wants the Color Theme Tool to be the default in that button?)

Here's a screenshot of an example of my issue. It's been worse than that, sometimes filling the entire screen.

Have you had any luck resolving this problem. I have the same. I have reinstalled the programme. I have deleted all the preferences. Still nothing. All my documents lag and a red banner comes over the screen and I just cant work.

Latest update through creative cloud at the moment seems more stable... At the moment

Hi folks,

do you also have since the latest Indesign update 16.2.1 so nice red bars in your workspace. I'm working with my Mac Pro on Big Sur 11.3.1 and I'm getting these display errors....
So for now I can only advise not to update further.

Disable GPU Performance

[Srishti Bali]

Hi there,

So sorry to hear about this trouble. This has been reported by a few other users as well. In most of the cases we have found users are using eGPU and external monitors.

I would request if you could share a few more details like:

• Operating System
• Are you using any eGPU and external monitor?
• Does turning on Appliation Frame (Window > Appliation Frame) helps resolving the issue?
• What all applications are running in the background?
• Does turning off GPU performance as suggested by Bob helped resolving the issue?

For further updates, please upvote this issue here ( https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/43404303-gpu-preview-br... ). 

We're here to help!

Operating System – now Mac Os 11.4,

(MacPro Vega Pro II Duo. 

3,3 GHz 12-Core Intel Xeon W

48 GB 2933 MHz DDR4

1TB SSD)

Are you using any eGPU and external monitor? NO eGPU, 1xMPX Apple Vega Pro II Duo - YES, external Monitor Displayport (otherwise i can see anything on a MacPro2019)

Does turning on Appliation Frame (Window > Appliation Frame) helps resolving the issue? – i'm working in Application Frame mode – disabling Application Frame however helps to remove the red bars temp. BUT, as soon as I "tab" all open indesign windows/dokuments in one window and switch through them red bars appear again.  

What all applications are running in the background? – Photoshop, Illustartor, zoom, Spark, Finder, Safari.

Does turning off GPU performance as suggested by Bob helped resolving the issue? – yes, as soon as i click gpu off.

(sorry cant change the type format in this form, once clicked it can be disabled for regular text)

[DERJUNG]

i mean "can not" be changed or be disabled in safari browser. Also forget to attach an image that is showing the bar in free flow tabbed windows.

[DERJUNG]

again. first did not work.

Thank you for the tip on how to fix this.

I am not using an external montitor and I am running macOS Big Sur.

Bonjour,

Je constate un bug d'affichage avec Indesign 16.2.1 sur Mac OS Big Sur 13.3.1 en mode d'affichage avec le GPU.

Le problème disparait en mode d'affichage CPU. ou en mode "Aperçu de la surimpression".

Un bande rouge apparait en haut de la fenêtre et le pointeur se trouve décalé.

Merci pour votre aide ou pour une prochaine mise à jour rapide qui corrigera ce bug.

Sorry about this trouble. Please share the information asked above.

Same issue here. It only happens when I have multiple files open in a tabbed window within the latest version of InDesign. Mac OS 11.4 (Big Sur). The problem temporarily goes away if I resize the window within InDesign. But it returns when I switch between the multiple files (tabbed within one window). Turning on the application frame seems to solve it for now.

Hello DERJUNG,

disable GPU Preview.

Hi,

I got issue while using ID : some red areas appears randomly on screen (sometimes there are blue) and I got everything shifted (see video and screenshot attached)

The only way to solve this issue is to close all the documents and reopened them 😕

This is annoying…

Anybody here know how to fix this ?

I work on MacPro (late 2013 / macOS v 11.3.1)

Thanks a lot

[Eric Dumas]

Can you confirm that your display drivers are up to date?

[joffrey_fe]

Hello, yes everything is up to date

[twinkletop]

I am getting this too (the red panels) sime updating indd. On lots of documents, solved by closing and reopening documents. Huge memory problems too - files that used to be small (10mb is) are now 40MB? 

[Eric Dumas]

Could you add this issue to Adobe InDesign (uservoice.com)

[twinkletop]

There doesn't seem to be a way of commenting on this link
