Using Text Wrap around objects causes InDesign to crash!
When I apply a text wrap but only around an object, the program crashes and closes. The other text wrapping tools work fine.
I noticed a blue cercle on the icon of text wrap around an object (see the screenshot joined). I'm not sure this is normal... maybe it would help you solve the problem...
When I click on this tool, a windows opens (see second screenshot) and then Indesign crashes and closes.
You can note that I am using the latest version of Indesign (16.4).
Thank you very much for your help.

InDesign crashes when deleting a page that contains a tagged and locked graphic frame.
Environment: InDesign 2020 or 2021 (16.3.2 or 15.1.3 Japanese version) + macOS 11.5.2
These are the steps:
1) Create a new document, create a graphic frame on the first page, and place an image on the frame.
2) Add a tag to the graphic frame. (For example, "root")
3) Lock the graphic frame.
4) Add one page.
5) InDesign crashes when you delete a page with a graphic frame.Here is a file that can be reproduced.

After changing workspace the extension panels become huge
After changing workspace the extensions panels contents become huge. Clicking on anything in the panel does not work. Turning the panel off and on, changing workspace several times does not help. Only restarting the application makes the panel the standard size (zoom). Today I updated the application to the latest version, but the previous version also had the problem.
This is terribly annoying because I have to turn indesign off and on dozens of times during the day.

InDesign crashes and cannot be shut down until a hard reset is performed on Mac OS computers
My colleagues and I have been collaborating on an indesign document on a share drive. Whenever one of us has recently opened, made any changes, and then closed it - if the other person then opens it from their computer, it crashes InDesign and it cannot be "Force Closed" and also InDesign doesn't show up in the list of open applications within Mac OS Activity Monitor.
I'd post logs and screenshots, but (A) I don't know which logs or where to find them, and (B) our computers crashed hard after this, even preventing Electron and other apps from accessing the…

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.

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.

Adobe InDesign Server 2021 has stopped working
With some documents to be (automatically) processed by Indesign Server, InDesign Server stops working - and we get the Windows message "Adobe InDesign Server 2021 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program".
As after a while our automatic system is picking up the same (possibly questionable) document again, we end up with a system where all InDesign Server instances are hanging, and no further processing happens (until a human being goes to the server and clicks the messages away).
The issue here is not that the possibly questionable document cannot be…
