I'm used to have all non printable characters visibles, but since 3.4.3 printing the document has the effect of resetting all this options. Reproduce it: - open a doc with writer - options - writer - formatting, and set all "non printable characters" checkboxes - save options - print the document - options - writer - formatting: you'll have all "non printable characters" checkboxes unchecked
