Only in this document im working in, all text suddenly is highlighted. I tried multple things within views, fonts, hyperlinks, preferences etc. Something thats probably started with a wrong short-cut key combination, but no idea what it is. It doesnt appear in the PDF when i export. Closed and re-opened etc, also doesnt work. None of my other documents has it.

Someone got an idea?

Open the Paragraph Styles panel. Window > Styles > Paragraph Styles. Unclick the + sign at the top right. That turns off the Style Override Highlighter.

Steve, does the blue line next to all paragraphs indicate lots of local overrides to practically all paragraphs? Then there is a good lesson right there -- formerly hidden, and now highly visible.

The blue highlighting indicates character-level overrides (i.e., choices available in the Character panel); the blue line in the margin indicates paragraph-level overrides (i.e., choices available in the Paragraph panel).
