Reply To: 2019 Indesign too slow!

I’m having the same issue, Dianne. I’m running it on a Mac Pro, Mac OS Mojave. About every 10-30 seconds, while I’m working on a file, I get the “spinning beach ball of annoyance” for about 5-10 seconds. I’ve done the same thing and reinstalled 2018. I am wondering if it has something to do with A.) Creative Cloud library syncing in the background (type kit fonts, i.e.) ?? or B:) Autosaving

I was having issues with Photoshop CC 2019 as well (it was crashing every single time I would save a file) and I found a setting called “Save in Background” in the preferences that if unchecked resolved that issue.

I haven’t found anything like the above in the new version of indesign. I think I will try disabling all type kit fonts and see if I see any performance improvements. I agree though. This version has proven to be quite unstable.
