Description Jim Roper 2018-06-21 14:54:02 UTC 
Description:
I am using Version 6.0.4.2 (x64) and just noticed that spaces do not show in documents. I do a lot of editing and prefer to see symbols in documents as I type.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open options, Writer, Formatting Aids.
2.Select spaces and non-breaking spaces
3.Nothing changes.

Actual Results:
Text simply does not show space holders.

Expected Results:
There should be dots showing where the spaces are.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Use <ctrl>+F10, or  View -> Formatting Marks from main menu to toggle formating marks enabled.
