I made a mistake in the report. The problem does not occur with =, but with : (and ? and !) - when writing in French. Yes it's expected, it's a specific space called "Non-breaking space" ("espace insécable" in French). You'll have the same if you type ":" (without quotes). Thanks. But I think it should just make space and not give it a grey colour. Every time I need to go back and delete it and make a new space myself. Texts become almost unreadable, because of all the spaces filled with grey colour. I don't see any grey color on neither on Windows with LO 7.6.6 nor with LO Debian package 24.2.3. Could you give an upgrade + apply https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps#Corrupted_user_profile ? No need to delete, that is "Autoformatting" that does character adjustments for some locales. Some of the formatting marks still receive the gray shadings rather than the blue non-printing character format markings. The localized auto correct can be disabled from Tools -> AutoCorrect -> AutoCorrect Options... dialog. And on the 'Localized Options' uncheck the "Add non-breaking space before specific punctuation marks in French text". But for the gray visual effect through the 24.2 release, use <Ctrl>+F8 to toggle off 'Field Shadings' At the 24.8 release, the toggle is corrected [1] to use the <Ctrl>+F10 'Formatting Marks' control. =-ref-= [1] https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/166033 Thanks, that worked. It is Ctrl+F8 in my case. Or in the menu: View -> Field shadings. |
