I've created an object style that includes a 3 pt stroke with a maroon color around an image box. The menu at top says those attributes are applied but you can't see the them on the image itself. I've attached a screenshot.
I'm using Indesign 19.5 in CC on a Mac mini desktop. I did try quitting and restarting. No luck.
Thanks for your response. I was on a major deadline and didn't have time to solve this. I found a work-around: just deleting those image boxes and re-placing the photos. It was just a few instances, so not worth the time to solve.
your object style is actually applied to your picture. The brown stroke is visible when you zoom in your screenshot. I think that you are confused because it seems to be aligned on the inside of the frame.
Thanks for your input @jmlevy . The stroke is actually applied to the middle, but that's not the issue. It's the size of the stroke. I've attached a screenshot that shows what a 3 pt stroke should look like. The issue seems to happen when I copy and paste from another page. When I create new boxes, like the two I created to the left of it, and applied the object style after, that seems to work. I guess my work-around is just to start with new image boxes. Not a big deal given the way I'm setting up this document.

Thanks @Abhishek Rao. I did look at those articles and couldn't find the solution there. As I mentioned in my response to @jmlevy, the issue seems to happen when I copy and paste the image box from another page.
