Clearly shows a comparison between Writer and MS Word in displaying the mentioned page (screen capture).

Greetings. The clip capture is from an article at the following address:

The issue has to do with formatting, over multiple areas. See attached.
MS Word 2016 displays the page correctly. 

Thanks

Just some additional details.
Comment 2 Mike Kaganski 2021-12-13 06:09:54 UTC
Please be specific when describing the issue, even if you provide a screen capture, to not require readers to guess which is your possible issue: is that alignment of formula, or maybe it's the grey areas that represents non-breaking spaces? Or scale of the data (either image, or text, resulting in different line wrap)?
Comment 3 Coolman 2021-12-13 10:41:46 UTC
It is regarding the gray bars, which are visible everywhere on the web page where there is a math formula.
Thanks.

(In reply to Coolman from comment #3)

As mentioned in comment 2, these grey blocks are visual marks that allow to see non-breaking spaces. These spaces came from the web page, and are only shaded on screen (it's only a visual aid, and they are printed/exported without the shading); in Writer/Web, their shading is controlled using a dedicated setting [1]. In Writer (not Web), simply unchecking highlighting of fields in View menu hides the shading.

Closing NOTABUG. Thanks!

That was easy, but I, as a Writer user, could not have thought of such a simple solution.
Thank you.
I'll close, if that's OK.
