Currently, the following Insert->Formatting Mark menu items are hidden unless tools -> Options... -> Language settings -> languages -> CTL is enabled: * No-width optional break * No-width no break * Left-to-right mark * Right-to-left mark While two last of them may be really unnecessary without CTL enabled, No-width optional break and No-width no break may be useful anyway. E.g., this help page makes use of the latter: https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Preventing_Hyphenation_of_Specific_Words The suggestion is to always show at least two mentioned formatting marks, regardless of CTL setting.
Just CC'ing to the ux mailinglist
Hi Mike, It took me some looking to understand the use of the marks * No-width optional break * No-width no break in comparison with the ones I regularly use. I agree with your suggestion.
Mike: I also agree with your suggestion. Changed component to UI, because it is also a Calc, Impress and Draw issue.
@Khaled: Another if CTL enabled issues. I've submitted a patch to gerrit to solve this and it works fine, can you review it. :D https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/36807
