InDesign crashes whenever story editor is opened
Story editor is unavailable because the crash happens as soon as I open it. On MacBook Air chip M1, Indesign 16.4. Also text in text frames disappears ,and F8 does not work as a shortcut to info.

This is happening in 19.0 and 19.1 using Windows 11.
Had to go back to 18 so I could see tracked changes. -

This is still a huge problem. Story Editor is so useful...
MacBook Pro w/Intel processor, OS 13.2.1, InDesign 2021, 2022, 2023

Anytime I use the Story Editor there is a high probability Adobe Indesign crashes. I am using the latest version of Adobe Indesign on an Apple Macbook Pro 2017 on OSX 12.5.1 Monterey. This problem seems to happen to others as seen in this forum thread here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-crashing-when-opening-story-editor-mac-m1/m-p/12472886
Scroll to the bottom of the thread to see others with the same problem which has not been solved by the listed solutions. I have also tried exporting the document as IDML and then opening that with the same problem. I have also tried resetting my preferences. I still have this problem on any document.
