Text crumbles and WYS is not WYG

Hi all,

 

I run an Imac Os Monterey 12.5.1. retrina 5K, 27 inch, 2020. 3,3 ghz 6 core intel core i5, 16 gb memory Mhz DDR4, AMD radeon pro 5300 4 gb

 

When ever i produce a book (usually 160-800 pages), during scolling through pages, the text on the next page is often not what it should be. It is usually text of a previous page. Futhermore the text crumbles.  Refreshing usually solves it, but i cannot trust what is on the screen. Sometimes i have to manually put a hard return after a sentence, to force reflow to be correct. After i mentioned this problem earlier, i added 8 gb of memory. Still not solved. Am i alone in this matter?

 

Any suggestions are welcome!

Best,

peter

turning off gpu looks like it solves the wrong text on a page. Crumbling still there

A habit I use is to NOT scrollbar to pages, but rather use a double-click in the Pages panel to target/view pages. Also, instead of scrollbars, I often use Opt/Alt PageDown or PageUp. These techniques help make sure that InDesign refreshes the view of the page properly.

(Your problem does sound like you should turn off the GPU, which is often the source of display problems.)

    I ran Onyx. The crumbling is still there. Its less then before. The isssue with wrong text on pages seems to be solved. I will keep an eye on future projects. Thanks Brad.


    Not yet solved. Without gpu better but slow, with gpu fast but problems. Bloody annoying...

    Have you tried turning off GPU performance in the prefs?

      Thanks Peter!. I did that during the other issue (disaapearing text). I gives some solution, but it makes the process slow. I rally want to find out what is the actual cause.
