Hi there,
i am on macOS Big Sur (11.1), InDesign 16.1, Intel
I discovered a strange behaviour. On a data merge, InDesign crashed.
I broke it down to the following, reproducable behavior.
--> This leads to a crash every single time
Now has anyone an explanation for this?
Edit: The pattern seems like "AAA-111.U" that causes crashes.
Edit2: It does not seem to appear on Windows machines

Point 1+2 are already mentioned in the original Post.
Point 3 is also mentioned just not in video Form. How useful is recording a crash...
I could provide system log though.

Sorry for the delay.
I just sent a crash report with the same email like in this account.
What i can tell you additionally is that if changing the system language to english (with rebooting) the issue does NOT occur. Only with german.

I had a similiar problem with the string ,text‘-xyz pattern and German 2006 settings. But it is resolved now. In the next days will be a roll-out of the updated version. Hopefuly your problem is solved within this too.

Habe das gleiche Problem schon im November 2020 an Adobe weitergegeben. Bei mir ist es die Textfolge ,Union'-W die zum Absturz von InDesign 2021 auf MacOS Big Sure führt.
