I forked the indistinguishability of the View Layout options to bug 146579,
since my initial bug report here was mistaken, and so each issue can be
considered on its own.

Having the whitespace option persistent was requested in bug 142450 - and the
patch is IMO ready for submission. Guess this will also resolve your problem.

Do you say that you do not see the current layout being shown in a different
color in the status bar? The attachment 174749 from your bug 144075 shows the
two-page layout in blue, while the two other options are in black. The current
layout *is* highlighted.

Maybe "Highlight" is too strong a word. But LibreOffice already shows 3 View
Layout options in the corner. If I open a new document, and click one layout,
and then click another, and then click back, I don't see any indication of the
current View Layout. Why not show which one it is? This would make it easier
for users to figure out if they're in Single, Double, or Auto, and figure out
whether LibreOffice has detected their choice.

Possibly that would make sense.

I have no preference here. Heiko?

And maybe add a crystal ball to the program, to guess what should be
highlighted for another user who needs another item highlighted? ;-) I strongly
disagree, that we need to "highlight" UI elements (that BTW were put to
*front*, available directly on the main window, instead of having user to look
in some menu/dialog - so it *already* *is* highlighted), when someone had a
feeling that they could find it easier if it was highlighted. Every user has
own preference for "this could be highlighted" - so it would end up
highlighting everything.

> 5. I suggest adding the Show Whitespace option there.

No. That is not a feature that most users need. It is explained in help, in
guide, and is discoverable in the logical View menu.

This is bug 98446.

Possibly; but OTOH, marking documents changed just because of changing its view
is a bit too much. There's some balance here; I don't know if it would make
more problems to most, than would solve problems to minority ...
