Save/Save as corrupts file
InDesign 2021, running on Mac OS 10.14.6, on a iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)
I recently "upgraded" my version of InDesign to the latest 2021 version. I thought, why not, new features, upgraded stability.
Or so I thought....
I started working on a document, a newsletter, that I retrieved from our archive as it is a quarterly magazine. I opened the file and proceeded to start working on it. Did a couple of pages and thought I'd better save it.
Command+s, message pops up saying this file is damaged and/or corrupt, save it as something else. Which I did, and so it came up with another warning saying, "this file is damaged and will be recovered".
Ok, so I saved a recovery file, tried to open that, then I got hit with a InDesign serious error warning and will be shut down.
Tried again a few times and went through the same process. So then I thought it may be the preferences, So I launched the application holding down shift+option+command and it seemed to work. I managed to actually save a document without any corruption. Great!
I thought I'd sorted it, now, tried to work on my document again and its doing the same thing.
Got sick of my time being wasted.
Uninstalled
Re-installed the previous InDesign and it seems to be fine now.
I installed the latest version as it boasted "upgraded stability" This is very much so, not the case.

I'm experiencing this as well.
InDesign 16.4
macOS Catalina 10.15.7Reverting to inDesign 16.3.2 seems OK so far
