What is this line in between the words?

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.

Hello,

 

As another poster noted there is a difference with the leading 13.5 - 14.  When the substittuded check box is selected, the pink you see is drawn by a GlobalTextAdnorment routine. Some times the boundery of the highlight regions overlap and you will see a darker area where they overlap. I suspect this is just a visual effect.

Here is one of my GTA going wrong.

Two observations to add:

I created a sample file of my own, and was able to see the same thing (btw: did it in an older version of ID to eliminate versioning as the issue). In my case I went back to CC2020.

a) in most (but not all) cases, the lines occur between changes of colour: in the your file, the bullet is blue, the SPACE between (and any Indent to Here inerts) is Pink and the text is Grey)... and also in changes in line spacing, as there's plenty of that going on for some reason. It could be your software is "seeing' these differences as places to break copy.

b) the lines appear or disappear if I toggle between CPU and GPU, so this points to a screen draw issue.

That being said, there are no 'hidden' characters in any way.

Regardless, you need to work with paragraph styles, especially with your indented bullet items instead of using spaces and "Indet to Here"... and make sure any overrides are eliminated if they aren't required.

Unfortunately @Sourabh Shivaji Khutwad is not the author of the original document here, so that seems not likely.

I am neither expert in Trados nor in InDesign but I have learned a lot in past couple of days and I thank all of you coming forward to help resolve this. @Brad the issue is just not around the bullet or colored text but in between the paragraphs as well where there's no bullet point or two colors used, here's one screenshot.

 

Instead of wasting more time I had to recreate every style affected and push it ahead. The only way to resolve this is to have clean and clear styles for all text layouting and not to override any of styles especially if it involves colors.

 


Yes, I see that within the paragraphs as well, but as was already mentioned, and you can notice for yourself, the type specs before and after the "lines" are different (different line spacings. e.g. 13.9 before the line and 13.5 after the line). This is happening all through your document (why, who knows, but not using and applying proper paragraph styles is not helping you out here), and this is causing the text to break up in XML, which is probably breaking up your tagging.

This is what your above paragraph sample looks like in XML:

    It looks to me like the cursor and is a screen draw artifact. Does it move if you highlight something else?

    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.

    I'm not saying it's an active cursor, but rather a bad screen draw.

    Can you share a small sample file that shows this? I'd like to see if the mark is present on multiple systems.

    What happens if you delete "inset here” and replace it with intent in paragraph styles?

    Hi Willi, replacing with new style doesnt or deleting the inset marker doesnt make any change.

    It looks like "Discretionary Line Break"

    Hi George, thank you for your reply, it is not Discretionary Line Break as that was the first thing that came to my mind. I doubt this may be something related to version issue but not sure.
