1. [Scripting] Document.findObject() incorrectly targets activeDocument

   System: Indesign 18.4, MacOS 13.4.1

   To reproduce:
   1. Open two documents, each with a filled frame 100% tint.
   2. Run attached script "findObject bug.js"
   3. Note the console output.
   4. Refer to this forum post for notes and commentary.

   Expected result:
   doc.findObject() will return found items from both open documents.

   Actual result:
   doc.findObject() returns only items from active document.

   Note that using app.findObject() is not a viable workaround in some cases, such as the issue in this post.

2. 日本語文字を直接ローマ字入力しようとすると、最初の入力が認識されずにアルファベット変換されてしまうことが多い（例：デザインと入力しようとしてdeと入力すると、「ｄ」と「え」にされてしまう。入力しなおすとちゃんと表記される）。とても使いづらいのですぐに直してほしい。

3. IOS picking up URL in plain Text

   Creating a QR using the "Plain Text" option, to generate a note when scanned. There are a few URL's within the plain text. Android phones are picking up the QR code as intended, opening a note on their phone. However, iPhones are picking up the first URL in the plain text, despite it being 1/3 of the way down the text. It doesn't matter what the URL is. Third party cameras and Android cameras work fine, iOS cameras don't.

4. email QR Codes don't work with MATMSG formatting

   InDesign 18.1 on Mac OS 13.2.1 Ventura - Data merge for email QR codes specifically doesn't work, and your documentation is frankly non-existent. Using the MATMSG format doesn't produce a working QR with Data Merge, but using HTML format mailto in Plain Text does. I'm sure I'll run into the wrong version VCARD problem soon, too.

   This is consistent using the MATMSG format in a .csv with data Merge. Using the manual entry isn't a workable option due to the quantity of codes being generated.

5. ID crashes when call method "createHyperlinkQRCode" on Rectangle from "afterOpen" event handler

   ID 18.1 Windows 10

   I'm trying to develop a script that updates the QR code (creates anew in the same Rectangle ) when the document is opened.

   The Startup Script sets the event handler of the "afterOpen" event, where the "createHyperlinkQRCode" method is called on the found Rectangle object.

   In this case, InDesign crashes with an error
   <crash exception="EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" exceptionCode="0xc0000005" instruction="0x00007FFD49229914">

   Creating a QR code manually through the main menu does not cause errors. The error does not occur when the script calls the "createHyperlinkQRCode" method on the Document object. But in this case, I have to point with the cursor to the place of inserting the QR code, and this creates an unnecessary waste of time.

   If the script is called from the script panel, it works without errors, which indicates that there are no errors in the script.

   I tried the following layouts (they cause the same error and crash InDesign):
   (1) Preferred option. Call the QR code creation method directly in the "afterOpen" event handler.
   (2) I extended the Rectangle object with an additional method that is called in the "afterOpen" event handler.
   (3) I made a separate script that can be run manually. It works if I run it manually. And crashes if I call this script in the "afterOpen" event handler using doScript().

6. Duplicated AllPageItems collection when nesting Table inside another Table

   1 create new blank document, 1 page, no primary textframe
   2 creatte empty TextFrame,
   3 insert Table [2x2],
   4 insert another Table [2x2] to the 1st table - into 1st cell,
   5 insert another Table [2x2] to the 2nd table - into 1st cell,
   6 now insert image into 3rd table - from step 5 - as InLine object after a space - so the cell is not converted into Graphics cell,
   7 run script:

   var items = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;
   for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++)
   $.writeln(items[i].toSpecifier());

   Expected result:

   /document[@id=1]//text-frame[@id=246]
   /document[@id=1]//rectangle[@id=286]
   /document[@id=1]//image[@id=282]

   Actual result:

   /document[@id=1]//text-frame[@id=246]
   /document[@id=1]//rectangle[@id=286]
   /document[@id=1]//image[@id=282]

8. ScirptUI: in events `app.activate();` doesn’t work on Mac

   Version of Adobe InDesign
   all

   Steps to reproduce the issues
   * Build a ScriptUI palette with a button (or any other element).
   * Give the button a .onClick event with a app.activate; to give the programm’s focus back to InDesign.
   * Try to perform an InDesign shortcut (such as "command f" to show the built-in find dialog or any other you prefer).

   Expected result
   The focus of the programm should be given back to InDesign and the called action in InDesign should be performed (such as showing the find dialog).

   Actual result
   The focus remains on the ScriptUI palette and nothing happens.

   Stated here:
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/scriptui-palette-focus-after-clicking-button/td-p/10378801

   I can confirm this (non-)behaviour on Mac.

   Thanks,

9. InDesign: Insert authors document's metadata without quotes

   Version
   Adobe InDesign up to 2023.

   Steps to reproduce the issues
   Setting the active document’s metadataPreferences.author with multiple authors, separated by comma or semicolon in a string via extendscript:
   
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.author = "Elric Wade; Anne Emu; Sophie Kumpir";


   Expected result
   The authors should be placed into the "Author" metadata field, separated by comma or semicolon.

   Actual result
   The authors are placed into the "Author" metadata field, but all set within double quotes, so they appear to be one author, not multiple authors.

   Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)
   See attached screenshot.

   Please make it possible to add multiple authors (e.g. with not quoting comma or semicolon separated strings, or by letting pass-in an array with names).

10. matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor resets pasteboardMargins to [0,0]

    In a script, app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor to 1 causes app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.pasteboardMargins to reset to [0,0].

    Furthermore, setting the pasteboardMargins doesn't work after setting app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor to 1.

    (While matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor is set to 0 everything works fine.)

12. masterSpread.primaryTextFrame can't be set in jsx

    See: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/create-primarytextframe/m-p/13362907#M503701

    The primaryTextFrame property under masterSpread doesn't seem to work. If there is an existing PTF on the spread, then mySpread.primaryTextFrame.isValid resolves as true, but it cannot be set to NothingEnum.NOTHING/null, and a non-PTF on the spread cannot be assigned to mySpread.primaryTextFrame.

17. appliedLanguage property of text-related objects returns language from application, not document

    When I do configuration for a language in a document, such as setting doubleQuotes, this language can be found in the document object's list of languages and has a different id than the language with the same name in the application object's list.

    But when I access text inside the document – regardless what I inspect, paragraph, words, character, textStyleRange – I expect to get the language properties as set in the document, but instead I get those as set in the app.

    I believe this to be a software bug.

    More information as well as a workaround can be found in https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/paragraph-appliedlanguage-seems-to-differ-from-the-actual-applied-language/m-p/12997100#U12991700

19. Convert Footnotes and Endnotes problem and a bonus scripting problem with special characters

    Indesign 17 on MacOs 12.3.1

    Convert Footnotes and Endnotes does not work when the footnotes does not have a footnote number.

    I have an Indesign document with footnotes.
    In each footnote I have removed the footnote number and the following tab character. (~F\t)

    I need these footnotes to be endnotes but this is not possible with the command "Convert Footnotes and Endnotes".

    Without the footnote number in the footnotes the command/script does not recognise the footnotes as being footnotes.

    They are however still footnotes and I can continue working with them as footnotes and also address them via scripting but the command "Convert Footnotes and Endnotes" does not work.

    I can reinsert a footnote number in each of the footnotes manually one by one by going through "Special Characters > Markers > Footnote Number.

    This will make the conversion work but this should not be necessary.

    Now to the bonus problem:

    I figured I could simply iterate the footnotes and insert the footnote number with a simple script. Guess what? Not that simple.

    I can insert everything except for the SpecialCharacters.FOOTNOTE_SYMBOL in the footnotes.
    Looking at the undo menu it appears as if indesign thinks it has inserted something as it says: "Undo Insert Text"
    But nothing was inserted.

    So ... I guess that I have two bugs here.

    Please help.

20. Section addition applescript splits last spread (applescript only)

    1. Version
       InDesign 16.4.1 CC2021 (macOS 10.16 Mojave)
       Only in applescript, not in javascript.

    2. Steps to reproduce the issues
       step1. prepare a spreads document. Total number of pages must be an odd number.
       step2. Use AppleScript to set the new section at even-numbered page.

    3. Expected result
       The state of the spread is not changed.

    4. actual result
       The spread at the end is split into two spreads.

    5. --code

    main()

    on main()
    mySetup() of me

    tell application "Adobe InDesign 2021"
    
        set mydoc to document 1
        set mypage2 to page 2 of mydoc
    
        tell mydoc
            set newsection to make section with properties {continue numbering:false, page start:mypage2, page number start:4}
        end tell
    end tell
    

    end main

    on mySetup()
    tell application "Adobe InDesign 2021"
    set mydoc to make document
    set properties of document preferences of mydoc to {facing pages:true, pages per document:5}
    end tell
    end mySetup

    -- code end

    In Japanese:

    見開きドキュメントを準備。総ページ数は奇数。
    任意の偶数ページにセクションを設定するスクリプトを実行すると、最終スプレッドが分割されてしまう。
    Applescriptでのみ発生して、javascript や手作業では発生しない。
