I am working on a catalog that has a bizarre issue that we can't seem to get to the bottom of. The top two rectangles are from an older document from a client, and the boxes have the same stroke weight with no style applied, but appear different. After realizing this we created another brand new rectangle, assuming it would match one of the two already existing, and it didn't match either.

I'm thinking something is corrupt and pulling over information from an old program if this rectangle was created years and years ago?

And I am aware that I can go through and manually make a new rectangle for each one, but I'd like an explanation regardless.

Select your rectangles.

From the Control Panel drop-down menu, choose "Redefine Scaling As 100%."

Your Object Style will show with overrides(+), so re-apply the style to the objects.

(I'm only posting this as an answer because I wanted to be able to show a screenshot)

This intrigued me, so I played around a bit in ID, and like the others, at first couldn't figure out what was going on.

At one point though, I selected all the squares and used the seldom-used "Clear Transformations" feature, and that resized the boxes, and returned the strokes to a uniform 4pt stroke on each.

That said, I don't know what "transformations" were applied, or even if they were done in ID. But this is a start of a solution, perhaps.
