Question

Text becomes transparent when editing

Good day! Is anyone experiencing the same issue? Some texts somehow become transparent or the color swatch selected becomes "None" when editing.


I hope this gets fixed since we are working in a publishing company and this is a big risk for us. We don't know if there are other books with similar errors.

Thank you!

Cannot say I have ever seen anything like that. Over 20 years using InDesign. And 25 years of experience as a typesetter, I have not experienced this behaviour. 

I see you're using InDesign 2020 - so it's not an issue with the latest update or anything like that.

 

The only thing I can suggest is that perhaps there is a Shortcut or a GREP/Nested style assigned to the colour None. 

 

 

I also see you have Preflight turned on but only for Basic 

You can set a Preflight check for colour overrides

 

 

You can change your preflight options to include text set to None colour.

Can you copy and paste just the affected paragraph into an empty document and try again. Does it happen there, too? If so can you please post the new InDesign file with just that paragraph?
