OK, I try a summary of the problem situation and an easy to code suggestion for
a solution.

Currently I see 2 Problems:

a) A misleading UI:
1.) "View - Text Boundaries" does not show full boundaries but only
cornermarks.
2.) "View - non printing characters" show non printing characters + text
boundaries.
And in a good UI each menu item should exactly do what it says and what a
normal user expects. (Which can - in this case - not be solved with new options
in the options menu.)

b) A crippled/lost feature:
1.) If I work with layout in writer, I need the full text boundaries but not
the non printing characters.
2.) Somebody else would need the non printing characters but would not like to
see the full boundaries.


My Suggestion for a quick solution with no need of recoding the options menu,
but only rearrange the view menu a little:

1.) "View - non printing characters" show non printing characters ... and
nothing else (as it says!)

2.) "View - Text Boundaries" is split in two items

realized as sub-menu options:
a) "only cornermarks"
b) "full boundaries"

or both as main items:
a) "Text Boundaries" as it is ... showing the full boundaries
b) and NEW: "Cornermarks" ... showing the cornermarks

And so the UI is clear AND everyone can easy select what he wants and needs.
