I have an ongoing issue with Indesign flickering on the monitor everytime I unplug/replug my Mac from the docking station.

InDesign version 20.1

Docking station: TB4H3TB Thunderbolt 4 BLAZE ALOGIC TB4H3TB Thunderbolt 4 BLAZE Docking Station User Guide

Mac Specs:

The Mac is connected to docking station via USB-C cable.

I tried disabling GPU performance but no changes.

This issue doesn't happen when I work on another monitor connected via the apple HDMI to USB C.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi @fantastic holdi.14906605,

As @leo.r suggested, try updating to macOS 15.3 and let us know if that helps. Also, does the flickering continue indefinitely, or does it stop after a moment?

Additionally, could you try bypassing the docking station and connect the monitor directly to your Mac to see if the issue persists?

Looking forward to your update!

Thank you for the suggestion.

I tried connecting the monitor directly to MAC but no luck.

The issue is happening on another MAC as well with OS 15.3 (all other peripherals and Indesign version are the same)

Hi @fantastic holdi.14906605 ,

Thank you for trying the suggestion shared. Would you mind updating InDesign to the current version (20.2) and let us know if the issue still persists?

Please also try unticking GPU Performance under the GPU Performance tab in InDesign preferences.

Let us know if that helps. We'll be happy to assist you further.

Thanks,

Harshika
