--- Comment #7 from Andrew Watson <notinteresting at gmx.com> ---
Checked with:

Version: 6.4.0.2
Build ID: 08d19fecdc7a2298d051e19cfdb7c35544855fc3
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.11.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

Results:

1. There is still no way that I can find to include
Paragraphs-with-the-hidden-flag-set in PDF files generated with "Export As ...
PDF" (Same behaviour as all LO versions back to LO 3.3.0.6).

2. Display of Paragraphs-with-the-hidden-flag-set is now controlled by the
"View>Formatting Marks" option AND the "Display Formatting: Hidden Characters"
check-box on the "Preferences>LibreOffice Writer>Formatting Aids" preferences
pane (same behaviour as LO 6.3.0.1 documented in Comment 6). I still find it
confusing that "View>Formatting Marks" influences the display of
Paragraphs-with-the-hidden-flag-set; formatting marks and hidden text seem to
be orthogonal concepts to me.

3. "Export ..." for PNG and JPEG has regressed back to its behaviour in LO
6.2.0.2 - see comment 5. If "View>Formatting Marks" is switched off, selecting
"Export as ..." for PNG and JPEG unilaterally switches it on. Furthermore, all
the other "Display Formatting" settings  settings on the
"Preferences>LibreOffice Writer>Formatting Aids" preferences pane (i.e.
"Paragraph end", "Soft Hyphens", "Spaces", "Non-breaking spaces", Tabs" and
"Breaks" are unilaterally switched off. Although the generated PNG or JPEG then
(correctly) exports the image with Paragraphs-with-the-hidden-flag-set showing,
there seems to be no way to create a PNG/JPG with these paragraphs hidden. It
also seems highly undesirable that simply selecting "Export ..." for PNG and
JPEG (even if that export is then cancelled) should unilaterally change the
state of 7 check-boxes on the "Preferences>LibreOffice Writer>Formatting Aids"
preferences pane.

4. I can still find no way of making "File>Print Preview" display
Paragraphs-with-the-hidden-flag-set, even if those paragraphs are printed with
"File>Print".
