Hi,

As I said, the line could be kept (either always, or being a formatting
aid), but needs more explanation (doable if non-printing characters are
"on").

Oh, you were speaking of an option for page/column breaks as np-chars, right? That would make it quite strange to handle. If I understand you properly, we would have to display np-chars and switch options to disable every np-chars, except page/column breaks. Well, that would be better than nothing, but very counter-intuitive, especially for those who may find useful to switch the display mode often.


And, the behavior/visualization you are referring to is clearly the less
WYSIWYG draft mode we lack since quite some time ...

Actually, a draft mode is unuseful for me. ;) But I have seen the draft mode requested several times also. I don’t really understand why some people (OK, “some” is not precise) find this mode so useful.


Well, the "some of us" is my question here - looking at the major
userbase of LibO, the question is always which part of the users
benefits from what decision (or gets worried).

I can’t say much more than “some of us”, as I have no statistics, but I haven’t seen anything which suggests that the new decisions about breaks with np-chars are based on something else than others preferences, so I hope you don’t mind if I try to defend a different point of view. ;) The only thing I am sure is I am not alone to feel concerned by this. Are we very numerous ou just a few, I don’t know. We were just more numerous than others on the French ml, but with such low numbers, hard to be sure of what the majority thinks.

Cheers,
Olivier
