Indesign CC2019 (oct) - "Do you want to save changes to "-/*TempScratchDocument*/-" on close
Indesign 14.0.1 x64, german, Windows8 as "Admin"
On closing Indesign with its "×" button, a dialog popped up asking:
Do i wanna save changes to "-/TempScratchDocument/-", Yes | No | Cancel.
This is the first time i have this error. I can not recreate it. Prior to the error i did: made some changes to an open documents spellchecking and hyphenisation settings. I also edited a paragraph format in the doc to use Duden instead of Proximity as Spellchecking/Hyphenisation. I let it re-calculate the flow of the document and saved the document. I closed the doc ument and made changes to indesign default Spellchecking and Hyphenisation settings, setting German to "Duden" and "Duden (Press)" as defaults. I then wanted to close Indesign, when the dialog popped up.
It was NOT a crash, just this weird Dialog.
See screenshot attached.

I just had this happen to me, so it's still occuring. I'm running the latest InDesign on Mac OS Catalina.
– When quitting inDesign, I was asked to save changes to open documents, which I'd already saved and closed individually before attempting to quit the program.
– I cancelled the prompt, which ended on a "-/*TempScratchDocument*/-" error. I was able to cancel out of that.
– Upon reopening InDesign, there were 11 untiled documents with a single empty A4 page on each.Not sure what's causing this.

I had the same error when I closed Indesign yesterday. I could not select "no" and cancelling did nothing so I force-quit. After I restarted my mac and reopened InDesign it generated 61 untitled documents that I had to close one at a time!

Probably related: after a crash of indesign and the document recovery, indesign often "recovers" TWO empty new unsaved documents, which i don't know where they are coming from. I certainly did not have those unknown documents open while i was working and while indesign was crashing. Maybe something to do with the *TempScratchDocuments* ???

Hi Stephan,
maybe it's because InDesign CC 2019 is not supported under Windows 8 ?https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/system-requirements.html

I get this weird -/*TempScratchDocument*/-"error message daily. And i have no clue what leads to it. Certainly nothing to do with those format edits mentioned above.
