Whenever I enter full screen mode in InDesign, my designs look distorted like this:

Has anyone dealt with this issue before? This started happening to me when I got my new MacBook Pro. All the specs seems to be fine and Apple Support has determined it's not a hardware issue. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Turn off GPU Performance

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the reply. That worked, but does that effect the quality of my display/designs? I bought a better graphics Macbook to have the best performance possible 😕

GPU Performance has been wonky since it was introduced years ago. It will have no effect on any output at all.

Which version of InDesign are you using – early versions are not optimised for hi-res screens.

Have you selected High Quality Display from View > Display Performance?

Derek, this is a well-known issue with GPU Performance and it seems to be worse with InDesign 2020 in preview or presentation mode.

Yep; I appreciate that Bob, I was giving additional info in case the OP was having additional issues with his display.

I'm using InDesign 2020 and my display performance has always been on high quality display. Seems to be an issue with GPU Performance as turning it off solved the issue. I hope Adobe fixes this soon! Thanks for the replies all.
