Hello. When I place jpegs into frames grey lines appear over half the box. I have the highest quality view setting on. Has anyone experienced this before?

I had the same issues. The workaround is to open the image through reveal in finder, then open in preview(mac) then resave the image.

And which OS and InDesign versions?

Win 11 - might be a problem with latest KBxxxxxxx updates.

InDesign 19.5.2 - downgrade to 19.5.1

Can you share that page? It looks like there might be some other object on a layer above that has a blending mode, perhaps, that makes it invisible without the background.
