Indd freezes, then crashes, when opening linked (placed) indd files from an indd file
Indd 16.0 x64, and the previous version. Windows 10. Create a document with test and also linked Indesign "sub-documents" in it. Run spell-check or find & replace, set to check all open documents. Indd opens the linked document, then freezes. You cannot save, quit, or anything. I have submitted numerous crash reports. See https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/indesign-2020-crashes-while-using-spell-check-with-linked-indesign-files-on-windows-10/m-p/11608010?page=1#M404257 for details.
My documents are typically books with 10-20 indesign files in each book. Some of the indesign files have placed (linked) indesign files, typically standard "boilerplate" that must be the same everywhere. When I run a spell check across all of the open docs in…

Indesign 16.0 crashes when copying text with anchored object
ID crashes every time I try to copy text that includes an anchored object. As soon as I hit CMD+C, it crashes. I can copy the anchor object separately, but trying to grab it inline with text does not work. I've tried it with multiple different areas of text/objects. This has happened over the last two days, repeatedly, after multiple re-starts and prefs updates. ID 16.0 on MacBook Pro running Catalina 10.15.7.
EDIT: It seems to be an issue with one specific object. I can't seem to even copy that one by itself without crashing. I'll keep playing around to…1 votePlease submit the crash report to us.

InDesign crashes and content disappears
InDesign sometimes crashes when saving, packaging, or exporting a file. It then corrupts file, removing content (entire text boxes are now empty). This is destroying files and setting me back hours in my workflow.

- Save/export/package
- Should have stable, usable files
- InDesign crashes and corrupts my source file

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 "!…

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.

InDesign 2021 (InDesign 16.0) locked when left unattended for an hour.
This was installed for me overnight, and appeared to be running as expected. When I left my computer running for an hour while I ate lunch I came back to find the application locked. When I tried to force it to quit the entire machine locked, and I was required to force it to shut down and restart.

crash sleep mode
Hello,
I'm using InDesign 15.1.2 on a brand new Macbook Pro.
Several times a day InDesign crashes. It seems to happen most often when:
- my computer goes into sleep mode and I reawaken itbut it sometimes happens when:
- I copy text from a word document or email, and then try and paste it into a text frame within InDesign.Sometimes it happens for no reason, when I am using another program.
I have spent a lot of time on the Adobe community page trying various solutions but nothing seems to have worked. I have 'problem reports' from…
