The grouped hiragana

I use LO writer 7.5.6.2 in linux/Fedora.

For adding furigana to kanji, I use the asiatic phonetic guide a lot in Libre Office Writer.
When I select the word 大変 in LO writer and I add furigana in the phonetic guide, I get the following in LO writer: (see Taihen 1.png attachment)
The 4 hiragana kana are shown above the pair of Kanji. All words consisting of multiple kanji are displayed in the same way.

What I would prefer to see is the following where you can clearly see which kana belong to which kanji:
(see Taihen 2.png)

This is also described in this thread: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/asiatic-phonetic-guide-feature-request/96084

I would prefer that in the UI a key combination be used to switch between the current default view - where all hiragana are listed together - or the alternative view where the different kanji are each shown in their own Base text box.

Thank you for the suggestion.
I feel like bug 107184 already covers (part?) of the problem.
Could you please have a look at it and tell us if you think it's the same issue and this could be closed as a duplicate?
Thank you!

Bonjour Stéphane,

Apart from my suggestion (introduce a switch between the ´default' view and the 'splitted' view, I have nothing new to add to Bug 107184 so you can close this bug as being a duplicate from Bug 107184.

Cheers,
Ben
