ScriptUI: Opening Dialog while dialog is open breaks InDesign

I'm running InDesign 14.0.2 on a macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

In a script i created I have a Dialog. It has a button that opens another dialog.

Before my last indesign-update (CC 14.0.2) the second dialog would open and when i closed it, i could use the previous dialog window again.

Now with the Update when I open the second dialog and close it again, i cant use (or close) the previous dialog and it blocks me from using InDesign. I can move the dialogwindow around but thats it so i have to restart indesign.

I tested this on two colleague's system with the same InDesign version (14.0.2) and had the same result.
I tested this on a colleague's system with 14.0.1 and it worked as intended. (Also it worked for me before the update)

Attached is a testscript with the dialogs and a short videodemonstration.

Pls fix this, as we use this function to change settings in configfiles for scripts we use.

    Amaarora - please finally start using the cloud for what it was intended - faster delivery of updates and not this nonsense - its kinda like the only feature the cloud is good for and you're not using it for updates. Same problem with the GREP fix :|

    Thanks for the fix tho

    Amaarora - come on ... this has to be fixed in the current version 14 first ... no body I know uses prerelease versions for productivity work ...

    Cheers,
    Joerg

    Hi.

    Nice to seethe bug is fixed.
    But is there a reason why bugs are not fixed in current versions? And users need to wait month for the release of a next version and till then are unable to use the software as intended? And in the past people that updated early to new releases where confronted with a lot of new bugs…

    Hi,

    New user of Marc Aubret's HurryCover pro, I can't use It anymore with the new update of InDesign.

    Can you see that and bring a quick solution please.

    Thank you

    Aren't 2 months enough to fix such a bug and publish an update?

    We need that fix as we are paying you every month for using your tools with our clients' projects.

    Please consider and understand that our businesses are heavily impacted with such repetitive bugs in InDesign!

    Thank you.

    oh boy … that's a nasty one :-( Please fix in 14.0.3! @amaarora

    One more voice to urge Adobe to issue a fix urgently. My work with Marc Aubret's IndexMatic Pro is paralysed!
    Thank you.

    This will affect more users than you realize. It's only developers who are noticing it first and fully understand the impacts.

    Just rolled back version and tested to confirm, code works fine in 14.0.1
    Bug was introduced by changes to 14.0.2

  • William Campbell commented  ·   ·  Report

    Me too. Breaks scripts I use daily. Below is simplified example code to demonstrate the bug.

    var w1 = new Window("dialog", "Window 1");
    var btnOpenWindow2 = w1.add("button", undefined, "Open Window 2");
    var btnOk1 = w1.add("button", undefined, "OK");
    btnOpenWindow2.onClick = function () {
    openWindow2();
    };
    btnOk1 = function () {
    w1.close();
    };
    w1.show();

    function openWindow2 () {
    var w2 = new Window("dialog", "Window 2");
    var btnOk2 = w2.add("button", undefined, "OK");
    btnOk2.onClick = function () {
    w2.close();
    };
    w2.show();
    }

    Updated Indesign 14.0.2 today on MacOS 10.13.6; just ran into this bug; production-relevant scripts voided; please put the fix of this severe bug on top of your list; thank you.

    Please Adobe, fix this.
    There are so many useful features that InDesign itself has, an additional script from Marc Autret won't bother!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

  • alexdauchez commented  ·   ·  Report
