This is the most abhorrent usability bug in InDesign for Windows today, and Adobe has completely ignored and dropped the ball on this issue for years.
All text on the page featuring an object with raster transparency (or an object with fx applied) causes text rendering to become weighted. Depending on whether it's light on dark or dark on light, the weight either becomes heavier or lighter. If it's light text on dark background, the text weight increases by about 100 (text appears thicker) but if it's dark text on a light background, the weight decreases (text appears thinner). This is very noticable when working at 1:1 (100% zoom) in InDesign on Windows. The rendering artefacts are not present in exported PDFs.
