Version: (using KDE 4.4.3) Please make these special space-like unicode chars visible, i.e. like it oowriter does by adding a gray background: - mark no breaking space - thin no breaking space - soft hyphen There might be some more chars.
i hadn't seen this bug. as you already have seen non-breaking spaces are now marked. i'll have a look at the rest after the summer if no one else picks it up. :)
i don't really know what to do with this bug. i had a stab at marking narrow non-breaking spaces and soft hyphens in august and picked it up again now. the problem is that Qt draws continuous text in both cases, so it's difficult to mark these so that they are actually visible. (i tried a grey “dash” for soft hyphen, but it will drown in the two characters, an open box under a narrow nbsp is also almost invisble.)
