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.

balance columns + Span Columns = freeze
Version: Indesign 2021; 16.0
In a 2-column text box with "Balance columns" on, I applied "Span Columns: All" to a line of text. If I hit "OK" or turn on the preview, then Indesign freezes until I Force-Quit.

Indesign 16.1 keeps crashing
Hi,
My Indesign keeps crashing when I paste or modify the text (both inside Indesign or imported from Word) beyond very simple modifications: if I replace one word it still works, but it crashes when I replace a paragraph or a text box.
It became impossible to work on Indesign and I really need to get my work done. Help!
I'm working on a macbook pro (mid-2012, non-retina) + macOS Catalina (10.15.7).
I also sent the crash report (I also saved it as a text file if needed).

Script | Selection on merged row makes indesign crash
Hi everyone,
I'm facing a new problem with a script I was working on, it is supposed to read every cells I selected and let me apply a cell and paragraph style. It works fine unless my first selection is a merge row and the second one a row without any merge.
so selecting this two rows with this code makes indesign crash (see: rows.png):
try {
var mySelection = app.selection[0];
alert(app.selection[0].contents)
} catch (e) {
alert("error\n" + e.number + ": " + e.message)
}Thanks for your help,
Nicolashere's an example of my selection that crashes (error.png)

Hello, I am using online document sharing to retrieve comments directly into inDesign. Unfortunately, the name of the correctors are display
Hello,
I am using online document sharing to retrieve comments directly into inDesign.
Unfortunately, the name of the correctors are displayed but their comments are invisible (text crossed out, underlined or added text).
A small blue wheel spins next to the filters icon.
Moreover, since this document sharing online, InDesign crashes every open.
