+1 and it's probably worth pointing out this thread on the users list: <http://www.mail-archive.com/users@global.libreoffice.org/msg16735.html> [[libreoffice-users] LO 3.5 - Can't see page margins in Writer] for reference. Eliminating the Text Boundaries margin borders is (IMO) a definite regression. This list doesn't seem to be very apparent to any users and is not listed here: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ or here: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/#Global_Lists or here: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/#Local_Regional_Lists and seems to only be here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise [Meeting ground for hackers and UX experts - get advise here for user experience questions. Please confine discussions about implementation details and decision-making about the right UX solution to the respective lists.] So is this the correct list, or is the design list more appropriate? If the latter is the case, then it appears that this request from January has been ignored: <http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/msg03578.html> [libreoffice-design] Text boundaries like 3.4.x However, can anyone on this list point me (us) to a bug report detailing the change from showing document borders to the existing 3.5 default of not showing the borders? <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31251> [Bug 31251 - [EasyHack] Make the default page look better ] doesn't seem to address the issue. So how can a change like this be changed without a specific bug report? Is merely creating a wiki page[1] annotating such a change acceptable instead?
