Can any one help understanding what the below line is? This is invisible when text is not selected and only appears when the word is selected. This is causing the words/paragraph to break in SDL studio when wherever this line appears. Doesnt look like any marker. Never seen this before.

Hi Peter, it is not cursor mark, here's a screenshot with cursor. I am able to delete it completely but there are a lot of instances and will consume a lot of time to delete and type the content again in multiple files.
No apologies necessary.
I don't have the DIN Next fonts, and they are not available from Adobe Fonts, so my test is not definitive, but I don't see the mark anywhere.
I think if this were truly an actual character of some sort it should appear even with a missing font, but it would be good if someone with the DIN Next LT Pro family could also test.
In the meantime, do you have another system available where you can open the file? What are your system specifications? If on a Mac, what happens if you toggle the preference to use GPU acceleration?
Hi Peter, I am using Windows, Dell Latitude 3600 laptop with 16 gb RAM, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8265U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz, Intel UHD Graphics 620. Even I dont have the fonts installed, you have to zoom in a bit more in order to see the error and here's the screenshot of Story editor, nothing in it. zoom in atleast 300%
and here's a screen shot of studio file where you can see the words are breaking
Hi Peter, I understand it may be the cause but why the words are breaking when converting the file to sdlxliff? InDesign application has nothing to do with SDL Studio but the file. I have no option left but to get the file manually translated.
Here's the screen shot of the sample I shared earlier with story editor, it is visible at my end.
It's been quite some time since I have used any of SDL's products, but I am 100% confident that this is not an InDesign problem. In the Olden Days, this is the kind of thing we'd fix in TagEditor, after ingesting the InDesign file but before sending off to the translator. When you are showing the Studio view, the contents of the tags show you that it's a formatting change. However, if I export an IDML file and look at the stories in XML format, there just aren't any characters or formatting changes in the places where you're having formatting changes in Studio.
Here's a screenshot of the raw text in XML:
I can drop this stuff into memoQ or Wordfast or any other translation tool capable of ingesting indd or idml, and I don't get this tagging problem, at least with the sample file you've provided. These formatting changes that are causing your tagging problems are not present in the sample you gave us. However, there are clearly formatting changes in the file you're dropping into Studio, as you say clearly here:
I have also noticed that earlier when I tried to replace it with new style it didnt make any change but now when I override the style the marker has gone.
If you could chop out the "Know your blood pressure" section straight out of your INDD and post that here, we could figure out exactly what formatting change is happening between "Y" and "ou, your carers..." but without that, we can only guess. That being said, my guess is that, if you fix your formats and clear your paragraph style overriddes, you can fix these undesired & invisible formatting changes yourself.
