Hi all,
When I'm working on the InDesign Auto-size panel and try to apply Height only it always crashes. I have attached a screen recording that will explain the problem and also the steps I have followed.
Thank you.

Hi user10962604,
this is also a known bug with the desktop version of InDesign.
Also reported at InDesign UserVoice, but still not fixed:
Anchored textframe with auto-sizing/auto-adjusting "height" causes InDesign 2020 to freeze

I recreated that bug with InDesign 2020 version 15.0.3.425 on my German Windows 10.
Also with InDesign 2021 version 16.2.1.100 on the same machine.
InDesign will crash in the moment I try to apply "align to baseline" in step 7 if the text frame is already anchored:
[1] Create an new document.
[2] Create an new text frame ( text frame A ).
[3] Create a second textframe ( text frame B ).
[4] Insert some text in text frame B.
[5] Set auto-size of text frame B to height only ( pinned top position ).
[6] Anchor text frame B to text frame B's text.
[7] Select the text in the anchored text frame B and apply the option "align to baseline".
Crash.
