--- Comment #12 from LibreTraining <[email protected]> ---

I have determined one setting in the settings.xml file which appears to cause
the issue.

Using your demo files:
 - Hide whitespace grayed out.odt
 - Hide whitespace possible.odt

I set the LO advanced setting to PrettyPrint the XML files.
Then I extracted the contents of the ODT files so I could compare them.

Then I tried to make the files as similar as possible.
- deleted all custom styles
- deleted all direct formatting
- applied default style to all
- reset document properties

Then I extracted the files.
Ran the compare - found 4 XML files with differences
Replaced the XML files one-by-one to see which one fixed the issue.

When the settings.xml was copied - the issue went away.
So I then replaced each difference line-by-line.
One setting, ViewLayoutColumns, brought back the Hide Whitespace function.


>From ODT file: hide whitespace grayed out.odt

File: settings.xml

<office:document-settings
xmlns:office="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
xmlns:config="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:config:1.0"
xmlns:ooo="http://openoffice.org/2004/office"; office:version="1.2">
 <office:settings>
  <config:config-item-set config:name="ooo:view-settings">
   ...
   <config:config-item-map-indexed config:name="Views">
    <config:config-item-map-entry>
     ...
     <config:config-item config:name="ViewLayoutColumns"
config:type="short">0</config:config-item>


>From ODT file: hide possible.odt

     <config:config-item config:name="ViewLayoutColumns"
config:type="short">1</config:config-item>


So when I changed ViewLayoutColumns from 0 to 1 - the issue went away!

To confirm I went back to the original hide_whitespace_grayed_out.odt file and
changed just that line.
It worked.

To confirm I went back to the GS50-GettingStartedLO.odt I first mentioned
above.
In the settings.xml file I changed ViewLayoutColumns to 1.
It worked.

Sooooo ... could some knowledgable developer please figure-out what is
happening.
 - Why is ViewLayoutColumns getting set to 0?
 - Why does that disable Hide Whitespace?
