Question

How to get rid of this Underline-Issue ?

Hello,

 

I’m wondering about this grey underline appearing when :
- pressing an accent < ´ > then a character sometimes produces extra non-intended spaces (It looks like some kind of memory issue)
- once I then erase the space, the adjacent character ( < c > in this current case ) gets this grey underlining mark.

2 Questions :
1) What is this mark standing for (signification) ?
2) How do I get rid of this grey mark ?

My workaround so far was to select the marked character together with one character before and after, then to erase the 3 of them and rewrite the missing part. 

 

Any hints would be much appreciated.


Cheers

 

G 🙂

I see on your screenshot that you use a “Copy_basic” character style (which is overriden). Check this character style to see if the underline is not an attribute of this character style.

And why do you use a “Copy_basic” character style? You shoud use a paragraph style. Character styles should be used to apply locally attributes as bold, italic, colored text or underline.

Thanks for your message, JM !
The Copy_Basic character style is perhaps a bad habit, yes.
Regarding the core of the question : the gray-underline isn’t part of the style. … I presume it might represent some kind of Warning-Sign or Text-Issue (?). … I’m still unsure about relevant keywords and where to investigate in order to find the signification of these occurrences.
Any further ideas ?

I presume it might represent some kind of Warning-Sign or Text-Issue (?).

I am not aware of any warning like this. Can you see it when you display the file in preview mode? Or when you export the file as PDF?

 

Any further ideas ?

Without seeing the actual file, no.
