I've been working on a BIG project for several weeks, and am utilizing MSOs extensively. A couple of days back, pages that were previously working as expected seemed to randomly stop working, without me altering any element on the page. More specifically:
I have a series of pages that feature some intro content and a button(s) that open a "modal" pop-up MSO that takes over the page and displays further content. On two of the pages that were previously working, the buttons on the page no longer respond to mouseover or click actions, and seem to be blocked by something. If I remove the MSO from the page, they work. But as best I can tell, they are built in exactly the same way as other pages in the document. I have a running version that displays the problem here:

The content on the 3rd and 6th-9th pages work as expected, but the 4th and 5th page display the problem. At the time of export, I was using InDesign 2025 (20.0.1) and In5 (3.8.20 or .21). As part of my troubleshooting, I updated InDesign to 20.1 and In5 to 3.8.24, but that seemed to introduce even more issues, as now NONE of my pages now seem to work as they have previously, and I'm having additional problems with nested MSOs appearing on page load instead of when the container MSO is triggered.
I've built a simple page that demonstrates the blocked button issue and the nested MSO issue. The live page can be viewed here:

And the indesign idml source file can be downloaded here:

---EDIT---
Further experiments show that switching from SVG text rendering to Image text rendering on output solves the Nested MSO display issue and the odd button live area issue shown in the sample file above.
