I confirm it with Version: 7.0.0.0.beta2 (x64) Build ID: 1c213561a365b5666167321de68c9977500c9612 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL I also had a look at LO help [1]. It says about Hidden Option: "Hides the selected characters. To display the hidden text, ensure that Formatting Marks is selected in the View menu. You can also choose Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - Formatting Aids and select Hidden characters." But I couldn't make it visible with Formating Marks or setings in Options. So I'm not sure, if this is another bug (and to solve this bug would also solve the prolem that is described here) or is LO Help wrong. => Design-Tea for further input [1] https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-GB/text/shared/01/05020200.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=cui/ui/effectspage/EffectsPage#bm_id3147090
On macOS I select all per cmd+A and get the hidden checkbox in the third, indefinite state. But IIRC you are able to select the last character with shift right in addition (have to test later with Linux). Issue with hidden text is weird, indeed. Didn't we change something around this recently?
