Good to hear that the problem is fixed(?). I have no desktop computer and work on a LT solo. On your computers, can you compare the systems? Do you have any idea what causes the sluggishness on your MBP?
No I cannot answer that question as to why the laptop has the issue and the desktop does not. That is why I am on this message thread. The problem is not solved on my laptop and it never was a problem on the desktop. The experts are puzzled and working on it, and I hope they can solve it. I have just been providing info as much as I can since the problem occurred.
Hi, I only own a MacBook Pro but I have seen the performance issues on a Mac Pro as well. This is really weird and must give Adobe engineers/programmers a hard time to figure out. If it was a general issue probably this would have been already solved but it seems to be “random” problem in terms of on which systems it happens. Hopefully Adobe will come up with a solution to this. For me ID CS6 still does a great job until this is being resolved.
Is there anything else users with the issues can provide besides their InDesign files?
Besides providing files, kindly provide us what all things you are finding slow in that particular file. We are aware about the slowdown due to tranparency. What all things other than typing on a tranparent background you are finding slow?
But yes, providing files would help us in narrowing down the issues really quickly.
I am also finding Indesign CC painfully slow on 16GB MacBook Pro (2.7 GHz Retina Display). The main thing is styling text, especially using the pipette to change styles. Text work in general is about 3 times slower than CS6 which I’ve had to resort to. Like others, simply highlighting text leads to a lengthy delay which really effects productivity.
Every single file that we have is excruciatingly slow. We have about 80,000 files for various clients. Every thing I do in InDesign takes forever: typing inside a text box, copy and pasting, step and repeat, moving things around the page, changing colors, changing sizes of font, changing leading of font, changing color of font, resizing images....every action inside of InDesign takes an enormous amount of time. Always have the spinning beach ball icon. I do not have this issue with any of my other InDesign versions.
Each file inside of InDesign CC almost acts as if it is accessing the Adobe website for operational purposes. Completely unsatisfactory for our production schedule.
for me it helps to press the tab button to hide all your windows shown on my second screen for text options etc. - it's fast again as it used to be before updating to CC.
after displaying the basic window section (in german it's called "Grundlagen", don't know what it's in the english version) it works as fast as in CS6.
when i try to rearrange it the way i used to have it on my second screen it starts to get slow again...

hope this works for you as well and helps you!
Make no difference here to tab-hide all windows on second screen. Same slowness in selecting text.
At the same time I had the same document (copy of) open in CS6 and had no delay in selecting text.
I just downloaded Scribus. Only way I'm going to get my project done in time. And if it works as well as people at Apple have said, then I'm leaving Adobe InDesign.
By the way, they also double-billed me and, after being on the phone for 2+ hours, put me back on hold (over 45 minutes now, and going) because the rep's phone didn't work properly.
For those of you willing to keep an open mind, if you're using dual monitors, try reseting your workspaces and keeping everything on a single monitor. Will it help? I don't know but I've read a report from someone that said it did.
I am working with two monitors but no change in CC behaviour whatever I did. I also used the MacBook Pro alone and unplugged the second monitor (which acts as my main screen) no difference. CC has the same issues. The problem is that CC has been rewritten from the ground up so the error can unfortunately be hidden anywhere …
