Red Screen in InDesign

[Mactavius]

Lately, when I switch between open files in InDesign, the program window goes completely red and hangs briefly before switching.  Any idea as to the cause of this?  I'm leaning that it's a software issue since it's happening on two separate machines.  All help is welcome.

Hi,

can you confirm the version of your InDesign and the operating systems you are using?

I would suspect the hardware (video card, Ram...) might create this situation.

Yes. No effect on the issue.

Same problem, same specs. I have to throw on shades when closing a window.

Same problem here too... major squint-face when closing window.

here too. I thought it was my new computer with Big Sur and InDesign.
