NEW UPDATE TO MY LAST UPDATE: THE BUGS ARE BACK. I just installed ID's update 19.0.1 and now when I select text with the rulers visible...screen flashes white! When I hide the rulers and select the text there is a slight flicker. This no longer strikes me as a Mac bug, but how will we know until Adobe releases an update for the M2 chip. What is taking so long??
HOLD THE WEDDING! I just updated Sonoma to 14.1. and SUDDENLY I was able to turn on GPU which was previously grayed out. The flickering has stopped with the rulers visible in ID on my MacBook Air M2 -- HOORAY. I suppose it was Sonoma and not Adobe's problem. THIS IS NOT REALLY FIXED (see above)
This is driving me crazy. I have the latest version of InDesign on a MacBook Air M2; I have 32 GB Ram and 1 TB hard drive. Every time I selecr text by highlighting it in the text frame, the screen flickers like crazy then goes white util I release the mouse button.I just updated the OS to Sonoma. Hiding the rulers stops the flickering BUT I need to have the rulers visible, so when I drag a guide I can see where I'm putting it. The flickering makes guide placement impossible. I'd say this is a MAJOR bug that Adobe better be working night and day to fix. The bug also affects MacBook M1 which is supposedly compatable.
Did you read any of the information here? Update Sonoma!

Adobe InDesign 19.0.1 installed on my iMac (3.6 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9) running Sonoma 14.2.1 is a total waste of time. I can't work on graphics or type without a white screen interrupting every move. Is Quark XPress still out there?

It sure is. But I don't see how that's going to fix Sonoma.

I have to get some work done. I need a backup plan. Maybe Quark is it *sigh*

Hi Sam. I have the same MacBook. See my post below for how I fixed this issue.

WriterJeff! I've been following this thread since last November. Yours' is the first suggestion that stopped the flickering (besides turning rulers off which only partially help) Thank you!

Glad I posted then!
For me, InDesign defaults back to using the GPU when I open a new doc. So I have to go back the View menu and change that setting again.

Maybe you could Upvote my solution Seth, so other people can find it?

I wonder if you updated to macOS 14.3? It fixes the issue for many users (but not all).

Hello - I was having the same issue, I ended up downgrading my laptop back to Monteray to get Indesign to work since well InDesign is my entire career. Has this been resovled and if so how did you fix it? Can i finally do the Sonoma upgrade or not yet? thank you!

Hello, I did as Marcoklobas (see up there) : I noticed that if I hide the rulers the flickering is mostly gone. Hope it helps.
And it's working for me 🙂
Good luck

Hello – unfortunately I need the rulers for my job, so that didn’t work. But thank you! I hope Adobe and Mac fixes this soon or I am going to have to toss my Mac and go PC. I can’t keep using the outdated system updates for much longer, my computer runs SO SLOW.

On my new Apple Macbook Pro M3, running the latest versions of InDesign and Sonama, the flicker was really bad on my external monitor. Turning gridlines on/off made no difference.
What did help was setting InDesign's View menu Preview to CPU (ie, the top item on View shows GPU Preview, which I assume means InDesign is not using the GPU).
In InDesign prefs I have GPU Performance and Animated Zoom both ticked.

Has anyone had seen a fix yet? I ended up reverting to an old systems update but now my computer runs incredibly slow. So I decided to break up with Macs. I have a PC on the way. I can't function properly and efficiently without the full use of Indesign and can't wait any longer. I tried turning off rulers and guides but I need those on a daily basis so wasn't working out for me. Hopefully Apple and Adobe figure it out, but they have lost a customer.

It looks like Apple finally fixed the issue. Updated to Sonoma 14.3.1 and the flickering finally stopped!

Same here. A problem fixed usually brings along more problems caused.
