Default Tracked Change lines appear but no changes made

Some possibilities (which you may already have checked):
Was your document in €śFinal€ť view (Reviewing toolbar) when you saved and
closed it?
Note that if the setting €śMake hidden markup visible when opening or saving€ť
in Tools Options Security tab is turned on (which it is by default), any
tracked changes found in the document will be shown when you open the
document (€śFinal Showing Markup€ť view).

In tables, a €śtracked change line€ť appears to the left of the entire row no
matter how small a change is (e.g. only a space or a comma). Alternatively,
could there be a formatting change in the table row (bold, italic, etc.)? If
you have Tools Options Track Changes tab Balloons set to €śNever€ť,
formatting changes will only be indicated by a €śtracked change line€ť in
€śFinal Showing Markup€ť view? Since you were able to apply €śAccept Change€ť
there must have been some kind of change.

Twice when working on a tracked change file, the tracked change lines would
suddenly appear in the entire document when I open it (document was fine when
I saved it last) so that so that rows without any changes would have a
tracked change line next to it. I have been able to select the non-changed
rows and click Accept Change and it would go away but how do I prevent this
from happnening in the future?
Can it be my newly inserted table/text is corrupting the entire file? I
have been working with tracked changed documents for several years and this
has started happening recently.
