  1. When enums are not an enum but cloaked like an enum

    const InD = require ( "indesign" );
    InD.Leading.AUTO === InD.Leading.AUTO // false
    InD.Leading.AUTO.valueOf() === InD.Leading.AUTO.valueOf() // false
    InD.Leading.AUTO.toString() === InD.Leading.AUTO.toString() // true

    InDesign version: (latest) 21.4.1
    OS: (latest) Tahoe 26.5.2

    Result: trying to use it in any no-string state throws error: "No data available of the requested type."
    Simple description:
    ( leading === InD.Leading.AUTO ) ? fontSize * 1.2 : leading; // throws error above

  2. Adobe InDesign UXP documents.add({showingWindow: false}) broken?

    All other scripting language allows you to create a new document without showing any window, such as in extendScript documents.add(false), but this seems utterly broken in UXP scripting, and it is not even possible to uses "doScript" as a workaround, because then also the extendscript method ignores the false argument and creates a window.

    Bizarrely, if I invoke a uxp script from within applescript (I am on mac) using do script, then documents.add({showingWindow: false}) works in uxp

    This indicate to me that there is something fundamentally broken
