Applying character or paragraph style causes eventual crash
I make extensive use of the command-RETURN keyboard shortcut to apply character and paragraph styles. It seems that if I use this shortcut enough times, InDesign will crash. This happens several times a day, forcing me to reopen all my files and try to remember where I was.

The character sequence -xx'-x crashes InDesign 2021 (v 16.0) on Mac
The sequence of letters -xx'-x crashes InDesign 2021 (v 16.0) as soon as you write this sequence yourself, copy or mark a letter from it (e.g. to change the text size) or do a search for this string, in a normal text field.
To reproduce the issue, simply write -xx'-x into a text field in InDesign 2021 or copy it into the text field. The X'x can be replaced here by other normal letters, upper and lower case doesn't seem to matter. The crash seems not to happen if the last X is a special character like ";" or "!…

Files open small and display in the top left only - scrolling goes hay wire
the program seems to be functioning, but will only open and create new files in the top left hand corner of the screen. If I zoom in, it will zoom, but only in that small space. If I scroll, it goes hay wore showing only grey and clipping lines like it can't process what its viewing.
Help, I can't use Indesign at all with it like this.

Type library is not automatically created by CC2020 installation. Error 104705: Unable to load Adobe InDesign Type Library (Version 1.0)
Extensions and scripts halting or crashing after installing CC2020, due to a missing type library.
Our customers report errors after updating to CC2020, and I got the same error when I tried. Our script make a halt at a DoScript call, with this error: 104705: Unable to load Adobe InDesign Type Library (Version 1.0)
After starting InDesign CC2020 "AS ADMINISTRATOR", a missing type library is obviously created: the message and error disappears after doing that once.
It was not enough for my user just to have administrator privileges on my computer and in the domain, I had to explicitly start…8 votesThe fix for this issue is available in the latest InDesign release 16.2.1

Save/Save as corrupts file
InDesign 2021, running on Mac OS 10.14.6, on a iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)
I recently "upgraded" my version of InDesign to the latest 2021 version. I thought, why not, new features, upgraded stability.
Or so I thought....
I started working on a document, a newsletter, that I retrieved from our archive as it is a quarterly magazine. I opened the file and proceeded to start working on it. Did a couple of pages and thought I'd better save it.
Command+s, message pops up saying this file is damaged and/or corrupt, save it as something else. Which I did, and…

InDesign stalls with with new MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
InDesign is stalling (pausing for up to 30 second) regularly on my new MacBook Air with the Silicon M1 chip. I know it is an Intel Based program but I don't think the emulator is working. Shouldn't Rosetta 2 download automatically when I use InDesign? I presume you (the good folks at Adobe) are working to make it native to the new chip. Happy Holidays. Seth

InDesign 2021 crashes when opening some panels
For example, I select some text and click to open the Hyperlinks panel. ID crashes straight away.
Or I select an anchored object, right click to select Anchored Object > Options. The panel comes up with 'Inline' selected and then I click on 'Above Line'. It crashes straight away.
I've had a similar problem working in tables, when I right click to delete a row, it crashes immediately.
I've had to go back to 2020 to be able to work on some of my documents.
