Inventor Pro freezing/crashing when attempting to edit a dimension (with Screencast)

I'm using my work computer (Inventor Professional 2021, 64gb RAM, Windows 10, SSD&HDD aren't full) and am opening my drawing per usual. This problem never happened to me before, but it's been happening since yesterday. I've had to force end the program because it doesn't have the crash prompt like usual.

 

It straight-up just freezes and you can't do anything. There's no loading, no prompt, just a high-lighted dimension that I tried to edit by double-clicking (and yes, I've also tried right-clicking the dimension then pressing 'Edit').

 

The file isn't even big. There's two sheets, each have 4 views (side, rear, top, ISO). I have to re-open the drawing multiple times until I can finally dimension it. 

 

Is this a problem that you guys are aware of? 

 

Edit: my screencast isn't showing up? https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/inventor-pro-freezing-crashing-when-attempting-to-edit...

Here's another Screencast of me dimensioning something else: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/community/screencast/c64284f1-0a76-40f7-98fe-18561b371d11

This looks very much like the Edit Dimension dialog is off screen.  When you edit dimension, try using the following key sequence: Alt-space, M; now the dialog should be attached to your cursor and you can place it wherever you need it.

 

These are the standard Windows keystrokes to invoke the Window menu followed by the Move command.

 

Hope that solves it for you.

That's exactly the fix. My coworker said the same thing. Thanks!
