https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102350 Bug ID: 102350 Summary: Formatting Marks: Default settings Product: LibreOffice Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+ Master Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: philipz85@hotmail.com CC: libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org Blocks: 102187, 102345 By default LO shows the following formatting marks ( Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Formatting Aids > Display of ) * Paragraph end * Soft hyphens * Spaces * Non-breaking spaces * Tabs * Breaks and hides * Hidden text I think that non-breaking spaces and soft hyphens should be hidden and hidden text should be shown. The display of non-breaking characters and soft hyphens as gray highlights causes more harm than benefit in its current broken state (bug 58434) and without hidden text enabled, hidden text would never be visible to users until they first new to enable this in the options dialog.
