Ok, so set to enhancement.
Comment 5 Omer Zak 2017-11-03 19:20:51 UTC
Still happens in:

Version: 5.4.2.2.0+
Build ID: 1:5.4.2-3~bpo9+1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.9; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.utf8); Calc: group

OS: Debian 64bit Stretch (Debian 9.2, with some backported packages)


Note: I used View > Formatting Marks because I found no "Show Nonprinting Characters" in version 5.4.2.
Comment 6 Omer Zak 2018-09-17 17:35:00 UTC
Formatting marks are shown/hidden using: View / Formatting Marks
(Ctrl+F10 did not work for me).

Line ends are shown.
Bidi markers are not shown.

Was tested in:

גרסה: 6.1.1.1

תהליכי משנה במעבד: 8; מערכת הפעלה: Linux 4.16; עיבוד מנשק: בררת מחדל; VCL: gtk2; 
מיקום: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded

running under Debian Stretch:
$ uname -a
