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.
