The paragraph marks ARE selectable, and Writer's behavior goes against elementary logic. Like it or not, a user who WANTS to work with visible paragraph marks must NOT get confused. Let me repeat my conclusion: EITHER Make paragraph marks ¶ unselectable OR Fix the display of style info in the toolbar, and do NOT display style info when a single ¶ is selected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
