Hi,
Can you please let us know if you are using any application like Keyboard Masetro, TextExpander, Quicksilver, or ClipMenu.
With Keyboard Mastro the issue is reproducible at our end.

Actually it doesn't look like it is the 3rd party apps causing the problem.
Go to Preferences > Clipboard Handling and deselect 'Copy PDF to Clipboard' and this seems to stop the crashes and allow you to continue using the 3rd party apps.

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. Indeed it was my clipboard app "Copied" that was causing the crashes.

Yes I am using Keyboard Maestro.
Seems to have been reported here 2 years ago as well - https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/t/km-causes-adobe-indesign-to-crash-when-copying/5183/4
Note - it doesn't crash for me if I select auto-expand height.
