InDesign v. 20.1 Trouble selecting objects. Super slow.

[Lane26467051ux60]

Recently updated to InDesign 20.1. When I click on any box or shape, text or picture it takes 10-15 seconds before it shows that it is selected. Sometimes I can move/edit the box although it doesn't have the blue lines indicating it is selected. Other times, I can not. Selecting multiple items often crashes InDesign. Today I selected to text boxes and a picture. Crash. As a result to the time killing aspect of the update, I have had no choice but to revert to InDesign 2024. (19.5.2), which you might imagine, is also an inconvenience. 

I am running Sonoma 14.4.1 on M1, 2021 iMac with 16 Gb Ram.

If it helps anyone, I have solved this by turning on the GPU Performance setting in Preferences (I don't know why it was previously off, or whether the update to v20.2 turned it off). It looks like my issue only shows up when GPU Performance is off; with GPU Performance turned on the behaviour is as expected.

I'm having the same problem; Did you find a solution?

 Uncheking this box solved the issue for me (see arrow)

Interesting fix, thanks for sharing: as luck would have it, my system is an Intel Mac mini with no dedicated graphics card, so no option for me.  😞

In the comment section of this bug report, a user suggests switching workspaces and it seems to be a temporary fix for me without having to turn on GPU performance or disabling the "Highlight Object Under Selection Tool" option.
