InDesign 2020 crashes while using cmd+(C/X/V) to Cut objects on macOS 10.15.6

Report · Aug 19, 2020

Hey,

I have the same issue, sometimes it doesn't crash and then suddenly it keeps crashing every time I want to use the commande cmd + C / X / V...

I am on Mac Book Pro, Catalina 10.15.6, I just reinstalled inDesign so I have the latest version.

It is really frustrating I keep loosing the work I am doing 😞

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about your experience. Does it happen with a specific document or all? If it is happening with a specific document, try to save it as IDML and try to work on it.

If this is happening with all the documents. Please try resetting the preferences by following instructions below:

Close all adobe applications
Go to Locations:
~/Library/Caches
~/Library/Preferences
Rename Adobe InDesign and com.adobe.indesign to Adobe InDesign.old and com.adobe.indesign.old
Launch InDesign from the CC

**Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings and InDesign will launch with default settings. This way all your old settings will be saved in .old folders and InDesign will recreate new folders with default settings.

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to your response.

Regards,

Ashutosh

Agree, deleting preferences is always a good first step for trouble shooting. You can use the technique mentioned, or simply hold how Shift-Control-Option-Command while you launch the app (you have to click the app, then hold down the keys immediately). You should get a dialog asking if you want to delete preferences.
