Why doesn't the setWindowTitle() function work for InDesign panel extensions?

[Aprking]

Hello everyone, I am seeking help again.

/**
 * Set the title of the extension window. 
 * This function works with modal and modeless extensions in all Adobe products, and panel extensions in Photoshop, InDesign, InCopy, Illustrator, Flash Pro and Dreamweaver.
 *
 * Since 6.1.0
 *
 * @Param title The window title.
 */
CSInterface.prototype.setWindowTitle = function(title)
{
    window.__adobe_cep__.invokeSync("setWindowTitle", title);
};

This is the documentation for the ADOBE CEP plugin. It states that the setWindowTitle() function works with modal and modeless extensions in all Adobe products, and panel extensions in Photoshop, InDesign, InCopy, Illustrator, Flash Pro and Dreamweaver. However, I have found that I am unable to successfully change the title of the panel in InDesign, even though it works as expected in Photoshop and Illustrator.

What could be the reason for this discrepancy in InDesign?

Thank you!

Maybe documentation is wrong - and it isn't fully implemented in InDesign.

From the beginning - Photoshop's implementation of CEP / UXP plugins was way ahead of InDesign's.

It is said that InDesign CC 2017 version supported this, but later versions have had issues. I dont understand why this bug still hasnt been fixed after so many years of InDesign iterations.

You'll probably get more response on a more specialist  forum like this one:

Thank you for your response. I believe this is likely an API interface issue, and I'm afraid this problem can only be resolved by Adobe officially.

Think.

For your particular problem better also use Uservoice and the point product's (InDesign) developer prerelease program. Put more effort on the latter.

A good test case that illustrates the problem, added straight to the bug base, improves chances to get issues resolved.

Also prepare the move to UXP, even though it has its own issues it is at least undergoing active development.
