I can't confirm this. Please report it in a new bug report. Thanks

This is because the shortcut letter of Hidden is H, same as the Help button at the dialogs bottom.
We need to change that to "d" which is not used in this dialog.

Hidden characters display can be toggled under Options - Writer - Formatting Aids - Hidden characters.

Somewhat confusing indeed.

Isn't this just a duplicate of bug 127611 (by the same reporter, even), or am I missing something?
