--- Comment #5 from Michael Longval <[email protected]> ---
Not really a bug.

Rather a LONG overdue feature enhancement.

I have recently come back to LibreOffice (used OpenOffice and StarOffice before
that), after having used MS-Word.

I concur that LibreOffice needs a Normal View where formatting and fonts are
not displayed, just the text (bold and italic is acceptable).

This would go a long way to bridge what LibreOffice has to offer as a writing
tool and what programs like WriteRoom, OmmWriter, PyRoom and multiple others
have to offer : DISTRACTION FREE WRITING.  

1) Call it "Distraction Free View"  --- rather obvious

2) Allow for a DIFFERENT color theme than for Web or Print view.  For those of
you who are old enough : Remember WordPerfect white on blue screen.  I am still
drawn to that. Currently the chosen color theme applies to BOTH Web and Print
view.  So if I chose to edit text in Web View (sorta of a stopgap) with a blue
backgroud and yellow font. That color theme is carried over to Print view when
I want to check formatting.  I have to go and change the color theme.  It's a
pain.

3) If we really want to go wild...: allow for different keybindings in
"Distraction Free View"

- a Vim mode
- or and Emacs mode
- or Wordstar mode (would probably get some old science fiction writers, who
are still useing WordStar, to switch to LibreOffice.)

What can I do to help you with this?
