Hey folks!
When I edit (add a cross reference, add a paragraph, delete the spread) my file on a certain page, InDesign hangs. I need to use Task Manager to kill it. 100% repro.
Attaching the file. It's the page with the header BATTLE FOR THE GRAVITAS MISLAID, page 39 for me, but w/o the linked images, it may be a different page for you.
Things I've tried
If there is a way to save even some of my work I'd be very appreciative. Weeks of work here.
Thanks in advance!
John
Hi John,
you said:
"Then I noticed. It was right above a header with Span Columns on. Could that be it?"
Well. Yes. Span Columns is always a good candidate for instability!
Thank you for reporting this!

Hi John,
answered in this other thread of you.
Strange thing: This other thread where I answered seems to be vanished from the forum.
With all your comments and all of my comments.
Hope you are doing well with your document.
As I answered some days before: I had no issues with your document with InDesign 2020 on Windows 10.
Best,
Uwe Laubender

Hi John,
to make that clear: I do not think, that your InDesign document is corrupt.
Of course: If I open your document all the linked images are missing and also some fonts.
Maybe the issue lies in the fonts and not in the document itself?
No issue to access a certain cross reference.
I am able to scroll smoothly through the paragraphs in the Cross References panel.

Thanks for taking a look at my file.
I was always able to stave as an IDML, it just didn't solve the problem.
Here's what I did that worked (until today):
Today the crash came back while added a cross reference. Once again, it was a cross reference in a certain place. I could add one before or after, but in this one place I would crash. 100% repro. Many crash reports sent to adobe.
I thought about what was unique about this place? Normal paragraph style. Same as what worked before and after.
Then I noticed. It was right above a header with Span Columns on. Could that be it?
OMG, this worked.
I went back to the previous area that caused a crash. It was just below a span column. I'm thinking this is may be kind of bug in InDesign, not file corruption.
That's all I got.
