Comment 2 ksso 2023-07-10 21:42:52 UTC
can there be a suggestion to allow searching for formatting marks (end of paragraph or line), tabs, etc?
sometimes it is useful to be able to replace them and search for them, thank you.

and there is a great extension, which has more capabilities than Search&Replace.

You can move the button and dock it, where you like.

Please try to and report.

The tabbed display or view doesn’t allow to grab and move the extension (there isn't a floating toolbar), nor to hide it
Comment 8 QA Administrators 2023-07-14 03:14:19 UTC Comment hidden (obsolete)

That's a new topic. Feel free to open a new report, if you like. We should Focus here on hidden formatting marks in tables.

Comment 11 Kira Tubo 2023-09-21 05:17:10 UTC
I was able to reproduce on 4.2.4.2 (but there may be earlier versions affected). In 4.2.4.2, if the user aligns right in a cell without typing any text into the table, no formatting mark appears. However, the formatting marks partially appear if you type additional text into the tables and press Enter. 

In 3.3, it is a little finicky. The majority of the time, the formatting marks appear fully, but there have been times that I saw them only partially appear. I can't reproduce it at the moment.

Comment 12 Kira Tubo 2023-09-21 05:20:43 UTC
As an additional comment to Comment 11, in the current master build, if you follow OP's steps, then type additional text into the tables and press Enter, no formatting mark appears. So it's even more broken now than back in 4.2.4.2.
