Created attachment 154164 [details] file with hidden text file:///C:/Program%20Files/LibreOffice/help/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01040600.html?DbPAR=SHARED#bm_id3144510: to display Hidden text Displays text that uses the character format "hidden", when View - Formatting Marks is enabled. False. 0: Open hiddef.odt, enable Formatting Marks (^f10; end-of-para should be displayed); put cursor between B and C; 1: hit Right key, cursor moves past C; 2: hit Right key again, cursor does not move visibly; 3: hit Right key again, cursor moves past G. Explanation: there is a hidden string 'def' between C and G but it is not displayed as it should. To check this, replace step 2: hit Shift-Right key to select (invisibly) the hidden string , then unhide it: ~o, h, Enter; in Character; choose FontEffects, click Hidden: string 'def' appears —because it's not hidden any longer.
this works for me: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Formatting_Aids#Hidden_text - Menu Tools.../Options/LibreOffice Writer/Formatting Aids [X] Hidden characters - enable Menu View "Formatting Marks"

what Oliver suggested is good, but my reply somehow went astray. I suggested that the help be improved by adding the condition Menu Tools.../Options/LibreOffice Writer/Formatting Aids [X] Hidden characters to View - Formatting Marks is enabled.
[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
I'll confirm as Documentation. That's what we were supposed to do earlier, as written in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117745#c12 and as TorrAB noticed now. Also a move from bug 123091.
In https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01040600.html: 1. change Heading 2 for "Display Formatting" 2. move Fields: Hidden text.. and Fields: Hidden paragraphs ... to another page for View in https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01040200.html @TorrAB: Would you suggest adding something else?
No. This should do it.

But will close now as resolved. Reopen if problems remain.)
