Jul 23, 2025 Jul 23, 2025

Hi,

 using Mac M2 pro with Sequoia 15.5 no probs with machine, but this version of indesing 20.4.1 seems to lag on inporting small file no bigger than 1mb. Also can no longer select graphic or text boxes on top of each other, I mean real 5-6 second lags just to select a box. Scrolling with the hand tool is really bad aswell.

Anyone experiencing the same problems?

Try turning off the GPU Performance in the InDesign settings.

Hi,
The GPU performance box is un-checked.
The problems still exist

Lots of parts of InDesign can cause a slow-down.

This article gives you lots of things you can try.

Noticed there's a small lag in 20.4 and then I updated to the 20.4.1 and it's the same lag. 

I reverted to 20.4 and it's slightly lagging selecting objects, compared to 2023 version of Indesign.
