I've seen this error and do not use Franklin Gothic Demi, so I don't think it's specific to that font. I've also encountered it in paragraphs that have no overrides or character styles applied at all. It seems like the spell checker makes the assumption that your most likely error is omitted

I'm not sure I would call it fixed. It's still a bug that the tag makes the spelling checker miss errors in the rest of the paragraph. In my case, the rest of the paragraph contained text formatted as Default Font. I'm just happy I have a workaround and pleased that Adobe cared enough to

You had better luck than I did. I thought I'd try it on a book. I did Change All, waited about forever, then had to CTRL-ALT-DEL to get out. Then I tried it on just a chapter. Same result. Am rebooting everything. This procedure worked great in a very, very small file--maybe 4 paragraphs.
