Applying style display glitch- phantom text

Question

When I apply paragraph styles I often get a "double" of the text appearing on top of the old text. Stays until I zoom in or out, happens below text taht should have been restyled.

In the case below, I applied a paragraph style to the line beginning with ESMO- it applied the sytle, but left the original line, and made a double of all text after appearing on top of the original. Always dissapears when I zoom in or out. Can't select the old "phantom" text.

Indesign 18.1 on imac 27" 5k running Montery (currently). This was happening under my previous OS as well (don't recall what version the InDesign was).

I suspect that it's because you have the GPU Preferences turned on in Preferences > GPU Preferences. Try unchecking it.

I often get "ghost" text when appying styles, and it's always just a display issue. I just scroll up or down past the ghost text, and it disappears. It sounds like zooming in or out does the same thing—it just refreshes the page. Hope this helps.
