Try resetting your preferences:

Windows: Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
macOS: While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
A dialog will appear asking to delete the InDesign Preferences, select 'Yes' on this dialog.

    If a document is not behaving well then try 

    File>Export 

    Choose IDML

    Open the IDML in InDesign
    Save the file as a new InDesign file with a new name
    See if the issue persists.
