  2. [ID-4265726]Error during shutdown UXP plugin (InDesign 20.4.1)

    If you try to access indesign.app when shutting down a plugin, an error is thrown and causes InDesign to freeze. Specifically, in the lifecycle hook »hide« and »destroy«.

    The error occurred with version 20.4.1

    Exception: Error: Shutting down in progress, can't process! at Object.cleanup (/Users/<username>/Desktop/UXP-Panel-Dummy/pkg/panel/hide.js:26:24) at ./main.js:58:31 at new Promise (<anonymous>) at e.exports.hide (./main.js:57:16) at e.exports.destroyPanel (uxp://uxp-internal/pluginmanagerscripts.js:2:38052)
    app: Application {conditionalTextPreferences: undefined}
    docCount: <unreadable>

    this: Object

    A dummy plugin can be downloaded here:

    How to reproduce the error:
    1: Load plugin in UDT
    2. Unload plugin in UDT
