I am glad this is not widespread.
This is happening using the "InDesign essential training 2021" documents from the LinkedIn Learning course by David Blatner, lesson 4 on threading text frames.
What can one do when story text frames become corrupt? Surely one cannot trash a document because of that.

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.

The other option is to create a new document with the same size page and same margins etc.
Then you can move your pages to the new document
