The first thing to try is to reboot your computer.

If that only happens in one file, there may be corruption in the document. You might be able to save it as an IDML file (File > Save As > InDesign CS4 or Later (IDML). Try opening the IMDL file in InDesign and see if that fixes the problem.

If it is happening in all your files, try restoring your InDesign preferences and caches. Here's how:

I suggested three things you could do. Which of the ones I suggested did you follow up with?

Do you mean the different sizes of the pasteboards?

I assume you saved or exported the damaged document to IDML and saved it again as InDesign document.

The different sizes of the pasteboards could be caused by elements positioned far from the pages at the outer edges of the pasteboard..You could check that by doing Select All when on a spread. Be aware that at the edges of the pasteboard graphic frames or other items could be positioned so that only the upper or lower edges are visible.

Just like in the screenshot that I attached.

( Hm. Currently I'm not able to insert images here... )
