Display of Formatting Aids and Document Windows size

users
#1

OX X 10.11.6 El Capitan

LO 5.3.6.1

In the Preferences window, LibreOfficeGeneral>Formatting Aids, I have almost every option checked, I.E Paragraph end, Spaces, Tabs, etc.

But none of them show in the document. What am I missing?

Is it possible to force LO to remember the last opened Window size? I'm getting tired of having to resize windows. :frowning:

Sorry, I don't know about that one. For me, on Windows and Linux Mint Mate, LibreOffice does open at the same size as it was when last closed. I don't think I've changed any preference for that to happen. Perhaps it's one of those things that works differently on OS X.

It's definitely an LO issue, as other software programs remember previous windows sizes.

Hi Ken,

This annoying behaviour is bug 75644, still open after all these years
(like many other OSX-specific bugs).

Thanks, Alex.

Not fixing old bugs is one of FOSS software's biggest detriments. :frowning:
