Indesign 18.0 idleTask not run

Question

Hello, during the migration of a plugin from 17 to 18, I saw that the idleTask in my case I use CIdleTask did not run when the indesign desktop application is not the one used, for example I work on indesign then I switch to the terminal; in my case I use macos monterey on m1 and ventura on intel.

you can find the same problem on the sample provided in the CustomDataLink sdk in the CusDtLnkLinkResourceStateUpdaterIdleTask class by adding logs in the runtask

Sorry for the bad english on the first post, here is a corrected version :

Regression on Indesign 18.0 : Idle tasks don't run anymore when app is not focused.

While migrating a c++ plugin we made from Indesign 17 to 18, it seems idle task (in my case a CIdletask instance) don't run anymore when Indesign isn't focused. Tested on MacOs Monterey (M1) and MacOs Ventura (Intel).

It also seems the same problem can be reproduced with the sample provided in the CustomDataLink SDK, in the CusDtLnkLinkResourceStateUpdaterIdleTask class, in which I added logs (in the runtask) to check if the function was executed
