Description Dave Lovelace 2024-09-09 01:01:02 UTC
Description:
If I enter no-break spaces or hyphens, they look exactly like normal spaces and hyphens, instead of having a gray shading as they used to previously.  The same for previously-existing ones in a document.  Testing indicates that they are still no-break spaces and hyphens, but they are not marked.  This is since I up-revved (from a several-year-old rev) a few days ago.  I have verified this in safe mode as well as normal mode.

Researche indicates that this is supposed to be controlled by View->Field Shadings, but appearance is the same whether or not that is set (checked).



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter text.
2. Press ctl-shift-space or ctl-shift-hyphen
3. Enter more text

Actual Results:
Text was indistinguishable from that entered with a normal space or hyphen.

Expected Results:
Showed a space or hyphen shaded gray.


Reproducible: Always

see the work done on bug 58434

only actual fields are toggled with <Ctrl>+F8, formatting marks now toggle with the non-printing characters <Ctrl>+F10 with visibility as set by checkbox from Tools -> Options -> LO Writer -> Formatting Aids.
