Cross-references performance improvement
In the previous versions of InDesign, if you had a document with multiple cross-references to other documents, you would notice a lag in typing
text in your document. This especially happens when the cross-references are pointing to multiple docs and those docs are not open.
This issue has been fixed now. You won’t notice any lag in typing text in your document even though all the referenced docs are not open.
Text selection or highlight behavior restored
The text selection or highlight behavior has been reverted to how it was in ID CS6. Now the system (OS) highlight color is not used to highlight
text. This change has been made to Layout text selection/highlight only. In the Story Editor, behavior is still as it was in CC.
