Hi, thanks for the feedback. If I have these, I will do. Also, there is no crash report dialogue. When I say crash, Cmd-V close the app with no warning or save. I'm trying to troubleshoot it myself and am investigating a problem with the tabs function in Indesign or the split window function.

I will consider CC 2019. Just cautious with new updates. Photoshop terrible with new undo and transform.

We have released an update for InDesign CC2019 (v 14.0.1) which contains some stability fixes. If you are not already on 14.0.1 (build 209), then we recommend you to update to latest version.

If you still face this issue even after updating, please submit the crash report to us.

Update. This is not even a split window thing. Indesign crashes on Cmd-V pasting text. Just regular old Cmd-C Cmd-V.
