Indesign Flashing Screen When Moving Objects

[Daisy5CF5]

Hello

I am using indesign on my 14inch macbook pro apple m1 monterey. Each time I move an object the artboard & background workspace flashes. I have checked and both my indesign & macbook softwares are up to date. 

I have noticed it seems to happen when I drag the indesign window from my main macbook screen to my seperate monitor. That seems to activate the glitch and then it flashes each time I move an object on both my macbook & monitor screen.

Hoping theres a way to fix this thanks

@Christel23191330wocb @CoffeeBreath after using this for a couple of hours today, it is still acting up with the rulers hidden, but not nearly as much as it was originally.

Thank you for this, so annoying with the rulers on.

[CheMaBev]

Thank you!!! This worked for me too!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The flickering was so annoying, yet such a simple fix.

Hiding rulers worked for me also! THANKKKKS

Wow been struggling with this for weeks. The GPU performance box was not clicked (and I couldn't) but turning off the rulers worked ... that's crazy. Thanks!!

I have the same issue, but my device is incompatible with the GPU Performance setting. Is there another fix?

Thanks Derek.

Saved me going mad

Exact the opposite: check GPU not UNcheck 😉

My GPU is grayed out. I dont have that option.

[markd70743250]

Some Macs do not have this option. Mac Mini M1, the option is grayed out and is not supported. 

[markd70743250]

This is not supported on a handful of Macs including the Mac Mini M1.

Why is THIS not listed as the 'ONE CORRECT ANSWER', as this fixed it! Thank you Derek Cross!

17.4 is supposed to help this problem.

[alex_inception]

Still happening with v18.

[Captain Sacha]

Still happening with 18.4

[BobLevine]

18.5 is the latest version.

[Captain Sacha]

Right, didn't see that one yet. So, is it fixed in 18.5?

MacBook Pro M1Max here and a similar issue is experienced. Although, turning off the GPU helps, the whole experience suffers by becoming sluggish. What I have identified is that turning off the rulers resolves the flickering effect (View -> Show Rules). This is of course applicable only if you can work without the rulers.

This trick worked for me – thank you! I've been seeing the flicker even when just hovering over objects in some documents. In my case, I turned the rulers back on right away and the color remained stable. We'll see how long it holds, but it's an easy workaround even if it's temporary. A quick command-r to turn rulers off and back on doesn't even disrupt the workflow.

ticking/unticking the GPU didn't fix anything for me - but hiding rulers did...but, i'd really like a fix that keeps my rulers visible.

Thank you, thank your, thank you!!!

Thank you so much - i thought i was going crazy or it was time to replace my computer...

Turning off the rulers worked for me but unticking GPU Performance did not.
