Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 68086
non-printing spaces are suppressed at automatic line break
Last modified: 2006-08-02 21:03:30 UTC
When View/Nonprinting Characters is selected, space characters that fall around an automatic line break are suppressed. This creates a user problem in the detection of multiple spaces between words, where only one might be desired. The spaces remain in the document, as evidenced by subsequent editing, therefore it is anomalous to hide them from the creator/editor,especially as the user might be a member of that highly desirable group, former Microsoft Word users, where this behaviour does not occur.
