I did some reading and a search before posting so hopefully this hasn't been addressed previously.
The problem I'm having more and more frequently concerns sporadic redraw problems while using Indesign CS. While scrolling around using the grabber OR scrollbars, little artifacts get chopped up and left in window making the whole page a mess until refreshing with either a zoom or fit to window. Of course the next time I move the page around inside the window the same thing happens.
What also happens is that clicking in a box containing text or a graphic (ANY box on the page) displays the frame border offset down and to the right. So when trying to highlight text, I have to guess where it's going to fall in it's newly offset box so that I highlight the correct text. While I'm typing, the whole story of copy moves to the offset box and when I deselect drops back to where it should be. Most frustrating! I thought the crappy redraw of Quark days were long gone with this new Dual 2Ghz G5 w/2.5Mb of RAM.
To 'fix' this problem there are a few ways, but nothing that works as consistently as copying everything to a new document. Until I save everything looks correct, but sometimes after I save and reopen the problem reoccurs. Sometimes restarting the machine or InDesign will put things right, but not always.
I've tinkered with the Auto Activate in Suitcase X 1 (v11.0.4) leaving it on or off, same with the InDesign's Suitcase plugin, but nothing ever seems to fix it for long.
Anyone experienced this?
