I'm working on an InDesign file (possibly from an older version, it's been a minute since the file was used), and when center aligning the text, it appears that the hidden characters or "invisibles" are being treated as if they have width — therefore affecting the alignment.
Hiding the invisibles does nothing, and attempting to resize the text boxes even a pixel or two before the edge of the characters sends the entire word off into oblivion.
Thanks!

@Hank I agree with @Alex . Looks like you have some kerning issues. I would select all and zero out your kerning. Just tried it and I'm getting it center without issue.
Invisible Characters shouldn't affect the size of a text box in InDesign. I'd suggest there may be a space at the end of your sentence, but I can't see a 'dot'.
Try the following:
Make sure there isn't a right-indent applied to the paragraph.
Select the text box and double-click on the bottom-right handle. This will snap the box to fit the text.
Hopefully one of these helps!
