Different versions of InDesign have this problem including 2023, 2024, and 2025 - on Mac Monteray.

If I attempt to highlight tables from the paragraph level and copy or cut, either with menus or key commands, InDesign will either immediately crash, or beach ball a bit and then crash.

Upon reopening InDesign, the menus will not appear. I have to use the keyboard commands to quit InDesign again. Upon reopening, it will work properly again... that is unless I attempt to copy or cut another table.

Please fix! I'm constantly working with complicated tables and the only way to get them to remain consistant is to copy and paste them!!

In the attached screenshot you can see how I am highlighting the tables.

NOTE: These tables include form fields. I noticed I am able to copy/cut tables that do not include them - so maybe that's an issue?

NOTE 2: Also, I'm able to delete (without cutting) so clipboard issue??

Also, a friend working on a PC was able to copy/cut - so looks like a Mac problem.

EDIT: Form fields are the problem - deleting them solves it. I need the form fields - anything you can do to help?
