I use Find/Change to delete spaces at the end of paragraphs using <space>$ (a <space> by hitting the space bar on the keyboard followed by a $ for end of paragraph).
When I do this in the GREP (I haven't tried it in Text) as soon as I hit "Change All" InDesign crashes.
Deleting spaces at the beginning of paragraphs ( with ^<space> ) works perfectly.
This has worked in previous versions of InDesign and I've used this same GREP statement for years.
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.

I tried it on one and didn't crash. I will try it on others and get back to you.
Thank you.

Hi @John Snape ,
what's your version of InDesign?
What's your operating system?
Will that happen in all of your documents or only in a particular one?
Try to change your GREP pattern to:
\x{0020}+$
That should do the job as well.
Remove one or more spaces before the end of paragraph.

Hi @John Snape ,
please attach a sample document where you see the issue.
I'd like to do some tests on it.
Thanks,
