Interesting. I didn't know about the option of turning off the display of some of the non-printing characters. Thanks. I found it under Tools
Options > LibreOffice Writer > Formatting Aids > Display of.

I guess the button you pressed is the mirrored P one.

In this case it looks really a weird behavior.

What version of LO are you using?

Sometimes I had such problems too, but with Tab symbol...

Another thing you could try to check is on the settings (CMD + ,): there is
a section where you can specify what to see and what not when you activate
the "non printable symbols" functionality.

hi!

i'm a (very) new macbook user & as such ignorant. also, i've to complete a
book of mine before handing it over to publisher. in TextEdit, there seems
not to be a shorter-than-paragraph highlighting possibility (confirmed by
lots of comments), so i downloaded .DMG file from
https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/install-howto/os-x/ site. now i can
highlight whatever i want, but i can't activate the so-called 'middle
dots'--empty-spaces-marker between words and other units. but i badly need
to see them because the book will be published from the manuscript-file and
i wouldn't count on editor to do such fine work. when i press the icon that
i know to be for that purpose, it only displays the enter-marks.
i've been using LibreOffice for years while on my old Linux-based laptop
(and was in this list too, now subscribed anew), and that manuscript was
written in LibreOffice Writer. i mention it to illustrate i know a thing or
two about LOWriter.
i trust it's something easy that just doesn't leap to mind!
