In the OOo 3 Release candidates (tested in RC3 and RC4) space characters are 
hidden, if a automatic linebreak happens.

How to reproduce:
1. Open a new Writer Document
2. Type "a" (without ") until the first is almost at the end
3. Type a Space Character
4. Type "b" until the first line is full (no linebreak must happen until now!)
5. Type a Space again
6. Type some "c" characters
7. Place the cursor ath the beginning of line 2 (in front of the C's)
8. type some more Space characters

Expected behavior:
The space characters should move the "c" characters to the right, revealing the 
amount of space characters.

Actual behavior:
The "c" character group is NOT moved to the right. No effect is visible at all..

Why this is anoying:
At first this seems like beeing not so bad, but if the first line is edited, 
and gets shorter or longer, the hidden spaces are revealed, and very large 
groups of spaces could appear. This is definitely a bad behavior in my 
opinion...

Target Milestone:
I think its to late that for, but I would like to see that fixed before OOo 3 
release ;-)
