Wheel of death when placing images
Lately, the spinning wheel has been appearing, especially when I place a photo via drag-and-drop, but also when I use the "Place" command from the menu. When the spinning wheel appears (and stays there), I can close or save the document, but the undo/redo functions no longer work, other functions work limited. After closing all documents, I have to force-quit the application; otherwise, InDesign won’t close. When I reopen it, sometimes it loads previously closed documents with recovery, even though I closed them myself. The "CPU Preview / Preflight Off" mode doesn’t work. I work with local documents (I don’t use CC Libraries, etc.).
Windows 11 - InDesign 21.3.x64; this issue has been present since v21.0
