Bug: Mac AppleScript change text returns replacement except last character
Search ("find what") and replace ("change to") does not return the expected results when replacing text. It truncates the replacement by one character.
Steps to reproduce
1. Create a new InDesign file (see attached test.indd)
2. Create a text box
3. Add text in the text box including the word "test"
4. Run the following script (see attached) test.scpt
5. Expected the return results to be "foo" but it returns "fo"
tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2019"
set find text preferences to nothing
set change text preferences to nothing
set properties of find text preferences to {find what:"test"}
set properties of change text preferences to {change to:"foo"}
tell document 1
set _r to change text
return _r's first item as string
end tell
end tell

Does this fix extend to JavaScript versions too? The same bug existed in CC 2019 of Adobe InDesign. CC 2018 did into have it.
