Description: The Formatting Aids settings specific to the Web view are ignored, and the general Formatting Aids settings are used instead. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Writer 2. "View > Web" 3. Make sure that "View > Formatting Marks" is on 4. Write a couple of words, press enter 5. Got to "Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer/Web > Formatting Aids" and change some settings (like unticking the markers for Paragraph ends and for spaces) 6. Click OK Actual Results: This has no impact on the formatting marks displayed on the page. In fact, it is the settings in "Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Formatting Aids" that are used. Expected Results: The formatting aids settings specific to the Web view are taken into account in the Web view. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: I feel like LibreOffice would benefit from removing this web-specific Formatting Aids section entirely, and follow a single set of formatting aids settings for both the Normal and Web views.

I don't think it's Linux only, rather Writer vs. Writer/Web. Repro 7.5+ Win.
Dear Stéphane Guillou (stragu), To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
