Indesign 2024 crashes when using Text Wrap > Detect Edges

With some images Indesign crashes when I am using Text Wrap > detect Edges and increase the offset distance a little bit. It usually crashes after 2 or 3 clicks (0.2 or 0.3 mm). Same image on InDesign 2023 Detect Edges works perfectly...

(Mac OS Monterey)

Or file is corrupted - but ID 2023 doesn't "care" about that - try IDMLing - export as IDML, open, save with a NEW NAME - try again TextWrap.

Not the image - export your INDD file as IDML, open and save with a new name. 

 

IDMLing is often used to cleanup and fix corrupted INDD files - it removes all previews and reads all info of the links from scratch.

Hi @Sesamme:

 

I'm sorry to hear that. The first thing is to note that if 2023 is working correctly, you might want to continue using it for now. It's still available to download from the CC Desktop app if you already removed it. 

 

Sometimes InDesign misbehaves after a upgrade because of corrupt preferences. This post explains how to rebuild them.

If working through to the end of the post doesn't fix things, I would definitely report this and go back to 2023 for now.
