can't select objects
ID version 18.3
I have a massive page with a lot of objects, and now I can't select any of them. It is as if every object is locked; effectively the page now behaves like a pdf. I have tried to unlock all objects, over and over, and although "Unlock all on spread" is not greyed out, it does not respond. I have tried quitting and restarting, to no avail. Is it because my system just can't cope with the size? This is months of work down the pan...1 vote -
Relinking a .webp image with an embedded ICC profile freezes InDesign 2023
When you try to relink a new image to an existing one, and the new image is in .webp format with an embedded ICC profile, InDesign 2023 hangs. This is reproducible. Relinking works as expected if the .webp image does not have an embedded ICC profile.

Shuts down without any error message
Adobe Indesign v 18.2.1 on Windows 11
The app just decides to close by its own at somepoint during the work, without any error message.
If you open the same file again, it closes again when you repeat your last action.
I tried saving it with another name, close the app, restart the notebook, and it keeps heappening.
I tried starting a new file, it keeps heappening. At some point it just closes without any error message.
I tried opening the same files at another computer (also v. 18.2.1 on win 11), with another adobe account, it keeps heappening

Indesign always crashes during batch processing (after 55 files)
There is a great script for batch processing
creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/batch_convert.htmlBut on the last few versions of indesign, an error is generated after processing 55 files. It does not matter what documents and in what format to convert. For example, I created an empty document, copied it 60 times, and ran the script. Also on file 56, indesign crashed with an error.
However, this is not an error of the script itself, the author could not reproduce it no matter how hard he tried. On previous versions of indesign (a year ago) everything worked without errors.
I also deleted the settings,…

split layout view, copy, paste, undo, paste without formatting, crash
Reproducable crash in InDesign when working in split layout view.
1) move to split layout view
2) copy text from right window
3) Ctrl V in left window
4) Ctrl Z to undo
5) Ctrl-Shift V to paste without formatting
6) crash (the expected result here obviously being InDesign not crashing but pasting the text without formatting).Filed multiple reports from these crashes.
Currently working on PC with Win10 and InDesign 18.2 x64, but this has happened on both Mac and PCs, with 2 different employers as well as privately (and thus 3 different server/hard drive configurations), clean installs as…

Color Picker causes InDesign to Crash
Every time I try to use the eyedrop Color Picker tool in InDesign it causes InDesign to crash and close. It will not allow me to drag the eyedropper to pick up a color, and if I try to drag the eyedropper it makes the color box freeze to where I cannot click "Ok" or "Cancel" and I need to press the "Esc" button on my keyboard to get out of the color box. Shortly after closing the color box, InDesign will crash and close. I have tried updating InDesign to the newest version, turning on/off my computer multiple times,…

Page Tool 'Use Spacing' does not affect pages, then crashes
As you can see from the screenshot, the use spacing option does not affect pages at all. I've got about 39mm of space between each page, tried typing 5mm and they don't move, even though it displays as 5mm.
No matter how many pages are selected with the Page Tool option, nothing changes.
Previously had a problem with the page align tool, but managed to fix it by resetting Indesign Preferences.
This didn't fix the 'Use Spacing' option though, and after a few times of typing various numbers into the box, it crashes.
Any patches to help with this?

InDesign 18.1 x64 crashes depending on AppliedLanguage
InDesign 18.1 x64 will open the de.idml file from the archive attached below* but crashes when trying to open cs.idml. The only difference between these two files is a single AppliedLanguage attribute set in Styles.xml.
Please look into why this happens with only one of them (or if both files are considered incorrect, let us know why).
*What I have attached is a .zip archive renamed to .txt. Please rename it back and extract the two files I've mentioned. Your form did not allow me to upload neither .idml nor .zip files.
Thanks for any help! Arnold

Indesign crashes when pressing the hot keys for copy
Indesign 18.0 (Apple Silicon/Intel)
Mac OS Monterey Version 12.6
Macbook Pro (16 Inch, 2021)
Chip Apple M1 MaxBrand new Macbook Pro, brand new installation of Indesign. It crashes every time I press hotkeys for copy. When it re-opens it crashes again. Everything is delayed and slow when I reopen, so I save, close Indesign and re-open. I get a good 5-10 minute run and it crashes again. Crashed 10 times today.
