      I changed the layout size and now, I have two pieces of text that have the same font size, but one looks twice as big on screen. Same for the lines. I have two lines that have the same width, but on screen, one is 10 times wider than the other. What’s going on here?

      You might have accidentally done this trick:

      How do you explain the fact that two simple lines have very different width on screen but inDesign is telling me they have the same width ?

      That’s what happens when you use the Adjust Scaling Percentage scale. Try it!

      OK. But how do you fix this, now that it’s done?

      Try selecting the frame with the Selection tool and choosing “Redefine Scaling to 100%” in the menu inside the Control panel or the Transform panel:
