Weird Gray Spaces Between Words

i keep all alarms off and didnt check mail so went into a zone and took my time to log the ticket: that tab was open easily 2-3 hours before submitting due to various reasons, watching tv in the background, taking a meal break, whatever else before i returned to this page again. i said today i was ‘just seeing the post’ aka responding in real-time, but i cant make you believe me.

Ctrl+F8 to toggle off the Field Shading works! a workaround existed all these years deep under the hood. so the enhancement would simply be to turn Field Shading ‘off’ by default. that tip from V Stuart Foote, but learned a lot from everyone.

… and I say you again, that 24.2 has the “off by default” implemented. Do I need to repeat it again?

i guess so, thanks for repeating, may have read too fast, missed ‘visible only when Formatting Marks is turned on’. will install it.

(btw not sure what a ‘regular expression’ means).

Just read the part of this thread/topic before you added to this…

Just a note: [:space:] (alternative POSIX-like syntax for \p{space}) matches tabs, among other things. If needed, tabs may be excluded from the match using this regex: [\p{space}--\t] (or [[:space:]--\t]). See regex help page of the engine used in LibreOffice for more details.
