illustrator pattern
Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
Illustrator 22.1 Mac
InDesign 13.1 MacSteps to reproduce the issues
i. Create a pattern fill in Illustrator with some part of the pattern using an overprinting fill or stroke in the Attributes panel.
ii. Place the Illustrator file in InDesign.
iii. The file does not preview unless Overprint Preview or Separation Preview is on.Expected result
The file previews normally and objects below can be seen through transparent parts of the graphic.Actual result
The graphic does not preview. Objects above (yes, above) the graphic are hidden as well. It only appears in Overprint Preview or Separation Preview. If the pattern fill is expanded in Illustrator or all overprints are removed (but keeping the graphic as a pattern) the graphic appears normally.

Just tried it today with these files using InDesign 14.0.2 on a Mac running Mojave 10.14.6. Bug remains.

Hi Scott,
I cannot see th issue on my Windows 10 machine, but that does not mean anything.
Had this issue years ago with InDesign on Mac OS X.Could well be also an issue with a combination of operating system, graphic card and InDesign version.
