Created attachment 176803 [details] Check "Hidden characters" by default
What is the use case? Hidden text (conditional or field) is an advanced feature (as are 'Hidden paragraphs'--added to Writer options view panel at 7.3). Enabling by default is not necessary, and those who use the feature(s) know to check enabled. https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01040200.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=modules/swriter/ui/viewoptionspage/hiddentextfield#bm_@@nowidget@@ -1, and IMHO => WF

I'm absolutely confused. I have this enhancement in my ToDo list from a long time. It seems the new version of Libreoffice show now the mailing fields (I didn't made new recent test) I think we can close this bug :-$ Regards Nicolas
