Hi,

Thanks for the prompt reply, Michele. I know which I think is the
best policy. I don't see the relevance of the line feed, and I
certainly can't see any reason for treating spaces at the end of the
line differently from other spaces. If I do a Find and Replace, it
finds the spaces at the end of the line, confirming that this function
sees only one type of space. So, why does the Nonprinting Characters
function treat them differently?

I'm a new user of OpenOffice and am finding all sorts of little (and
not so little) things that annoy/mystify me. I'll start off with a
very little question.
In Writer, if I turn on Nonprinting Characters, all the spaces
appear as raised dots. All, that is, except the space at the end of
the line. Why is that space not visible?
this happens to be an old heritage problem deep inside the code of
Writer. Obviously not so easy to fix as the non-programmers of us may
suppose.
Get some coffee, sit down, then have a look at the issue
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=20878 - will take some
hours to read through all of this ...
