I've had this occur across multiple files; some new, some old.
I cannot stop the behaviour from happening despite cache and com. dumps, prefernence resets, etc. - whenever I run Spellchecker InDesign disappears/crashes. I'm losing money constantly as I'm a designer who outputs a lot of multi page brochures, books, magazines, etc. and my efficiency has ground to a halt.

Indesign has crashed about 5 times since updating the other day. My team is also having the same problem. Mac and PC.

When using the "Scale Tool", every 4 or 5 times or so the app freezes at the dialog box and there's no way to exit. You have to force quit the app and hope that your work is autosaved. Unacceptable and only started happening recently.

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,
Nicolas

here's an example of my selection that crashes (error.png)

Indesign constantly comes up with a weird error when ever I click save while in a document - 'Indesign is unable to save this file. We tried, but appears to be damaged. click Ok.

Also I know in the previous version that whenever I zoomed in too much I would get constant crashes. Hope it's been fixed in the version but I won't hold my breath.

InDesign crashes every time when my MacBook Pro is in standby.

Catalina 10.15.7

InDesign 16.0

Absolutely impossible to work. Seems like font compatibility, but maybe something else entirely. It opens the file, very painfully slow, checking for a while, finally clearing preflight to green. Then no matter what tool is used it changes to the not responding mode. Multiple updates, clearing preferences, etc. didn't help. Extremely frustrating.

Ever since installing the 2021 update of InDesign, InDesign will lock up and hang when trying to close the application. This happens after closing all open files and I've returned to the Home screen. Task Manager reports as the application "not responding".

Version of Adobe InDesign: 15.1.2 / macOS 10.15.6

Steps to reproduce the issues: When exporting a document with endnotes containing hyperlinks to ePub (reflowable), InDesign hangs and needs to be force quit. Have tested removing all hyperlinks to tests, and document exports correctly. Have tested putting hyperlinks outside of endnotes and document exports correctly. The bug is specific to hyperlinks which are part of the endnote text.

Expected result: Successful export with endnotes reciprocally linked to text, and hyperlinks in endnote text active to respective URLs.

Actual result: InDesign hangs and needs to be force quit.

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.

It freezes when openning the program (Starting up Service Registry...) Adobe InDesign CC v15.02-15.1 (Installed Language: English International)

(But Adobe Creative Cloud for Teams: Photoshop, Illustrator, Bridge and Acrobat DC are fine.)

My Computer:

PC Dell Inspiron 5680
OS: Windows 10 Pro v2004 (64bit)
Processor: Intel Core i7-8700 3.2GHz.
HDD: 256GB SSD
RAM: 16GB
Display card: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1070
Display resolution: 1920x1080 Refresh rate: 60Hz.
Monitor: Dell S2718H/HX

Latest version release 15.1.
Copied artwork that had eps file and spot color. Selected the group. Copied. Tried to open Photoshop screen (was already opened). InDesign then froze. Then crashed. Seperate elements work fine.. Not the grouped artwork.
Expected results: Artwork is pasted onto a photoshop layer.
Actual result: Crashes InDesign. No copy is shown to be pasted.

ID crashes inserting a symbol as index reference.

Not a new problem by the looks of it.
It doesn't matter whether I type a reference, copy and paste it or highlight text and use shortcut keys. ID always crashes if a symbol is the first thing in the index reference.

however, if 'Sort by' is used and that doesn't start with a symbol it is okay. But this is only 'useful' when that is relevant, which is not always.

InDesign freezes. I'm just working, and it freeze. Or sometimes it happens when I open another window, and then I can't back to Adobe Indesign, I have to force the program to close.

Steps:
1. Attempt to place place Word.docx in an InDesign 2020 document.
2. InDesign spends a long time parsing character styles.
3. Resaved Word file as .doc file and was able to import it. I don't know what information (if any) in the Word file was lost. This is not an ideal solution.

Link above "How to Submit Crash Report" is dead. I have previously submitted several crash reports through the InDD/system interface.
