Title: Show text control characters setting does not work
Post by: southwindows on May 04, 2017, 06:04:41 PM
I just installed Scribus 1.5.3svn on a Windows 7 machine.

I prefer to see tab and paragraph markers as I work, so I went to File/Preferences/Display and placed a check next to "Show text control characters".  They were not visible when I returned to the document I was working on, so I quit Scribus and restarted; but the change did not take effect even with a restart.

Am I missing something?  Thanks!

with 'preferences', you define your standard settings for new documents.
the settings of an existing document can be changed with 'file' → 'document setup → '...'

...the two different menu entries can be a bit confusing for scribus beginners.
