From my point of view, this is a > serious problem. Hmph! I did as you asked, and restarted in safe mode. Empty document. I entered a bunch of individual letters, separating some with ctrl-shift-space, some with spaces, then entered text at the very beginning until they started wrapping off the right margin. Contrary to what I observed earlier, the groups separated with no-break spaces did wrap together. I went back to normal mode, and observed the same. I don't know whether things changed between my two tests or whether my observations were wrong the first time. I incline toward the latter, but don't know whether opening in safe mode could affect this (even after returning to normal mode). HOWEVER, I am unable to tell by looking whether the no-break spaces are there or not. According to everything I found (first round of research), what controls this is View->Field Shadings. It doesn't matter whether that is checked or not; no shading shows. So do I need to enter another bug report to get THAT in? I really do need to be able to see whether these things (both non-breaking hyphens and non-breaking spaces) are correctly present. (I'll add that this is a good example of why I always hesitate to up-rev. In my experience, it ALWAYS breaks something that was working.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
