Description Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2023-01-10 08:54:02 UTC
Created attachment 184553 [details]
Screenshot of the document in Word and Writer

When attachment 181299 [details] from bug 150037 is opened, the text fields are opened with spaces as default placeholders.
This is different than in Word, which uses a series of spaces and the degree sign character: ° (at least I think this is it...)

1. Open attachment 181299 [details] 
2. Notice the default placeholders of the text fields in the middle of the page.
This is visible only in Formatting Marks visible mode, if they are hidden, the document looks the same in Word as in Writer.

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 44355a90b3450111ad87ad4b6607a564e41d7b54
CPU threads: 14; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (hu_HU); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

and ever since 3.5
Comment 1 Dieter 2023-01-25 07:19:48 UTC
Placeholders always invisible (with and without formatting marks active)

Version: 7.5.0.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: c0dd1bc3f1a385d110b88e26ece634da94921f58

Don't understand, why this is an enhancement request and not a bug.
