vertical blue line for overrides?

 I think this blue line shows there is an over ride on a paragraph style. When I clear over rides it goes away. I have no idea why they occur but think it might have to do with a different child master that I applied with a different text box size.

When I send the document to the printer will the over ride come back?

Yes, it's a paragraph level override.

And no, I don't think it would make any difference to a printer if there are Style overrides, in that it has nothing to do with the printing of the layout. It's really a design-consistency issue.

Thanks Jeff! The article you referenced really helped me understand what was happening. It does seem to be a useful feature, I've located some errant text boxes and some caption boxes that were missing their object style with it already.

You can disable the Style Override Highlighter in the Paragraphs Styles panel, and no – it won't print.
