That makes no sense to me. Did you type it correctly? Please provide more context, especially the preceding text.

Thanks for the replies.You are absolutely right. A typing error has occurred. The correct text reds as follows;
He had glossed right over it until he hadn't glossed right over it. The text is from the book titled Memory Man by David Baldacci

Thanks and sorry for the mistake.

gloss over something
- to conceal something under a false appearance
eg He glossed over his error by making it seem like a joke.

Your text seems to say 'he did something until he didn't do it'.
More context is required for further interpretation.

Telling us the name of the book is not really supplying context.
