ID crashes inserting a symbol as index reference.
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.
We have released InDesign 2021(v16.0.0.77) with a lot of stability fixes. We recommend you upgrade to the latest version (if you’re not already on it) as it is more robust.
If you still face this issue even after updating, please submit the crash report to us. (Guidelines to submit crash are available at (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html )

to update: this crash happens without warning. no pop ups. nothing.
it only happens when the symbol is the first thing at level 1. If it is level 2 and a symbol isn't the first character in the level 1 reference then it doesn't crash.
And for 'Symbol' read digit too
