Description Eyal Rozenberg 2024-10-19 08:34:34 UTC 
In Writer, we can have the text boundaries visualized on the page; in Writer, Impress and Draw, we can have table and cell boundaries visualized, even when there are no cell/table borders; and these options are toggleable.

However - we are missing a toggle for visualization of the text boundaries within a textbox, i.e. the rectangle whose sides are at distance "spacing to borders" from the relevant bounding box.

Such a visualization should be visible always, i.e. not only when the text is being edited.

Related but not the same request: bug 155519.

Not an extra option but enabled with Text Boundaries. Sure there is no similar request?
