<pre>Description:
When in center align mode the visual indicator for trailing spaces is missing.
Without this you cannot see if you have typed zero, one, or 50 spaces at the
end of your sentence. Once you type another character you will then see the
visual indicator of spaces. If you then want to add or remove spaces you either
have to move the cursor back somewhere in between the character you just typed
and the previous non space character to retain the visual space indication
while then backspacing or adding spaces or continually adding or removing
spaces while periodically typing a non space character to 'check on your
progress'. I have seen this mentioned over a year ago but it was argued that it
wasn't really a bug (and I think dismissed?) But this is most definitely a bug
and it affects me every day. I record daily activities and begin each day with
a center justified date. Typing May 26, 2020 always affects me when the cursor
does not move after hitting the space bar causing me to wonder if it took the
space or not.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set writer to left justified
2.type any word
3.type any number of spaces
4.change justification to center justified
the spaces between the cursor and word disappear
5.change justification back to left justified
the spaces between the cursor and word reappear
Actual Results:
when you are in center justified mode trailing space characters are not
represented as evidenced by the cursor not advancing
Expected Results:
What is expected when in center justified mode is exactly the same as what is
expected when in left or right justified mode. To see a visual representation
of the characters you type, whether they are spaces or other characters.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
Try typing in center justified mode for a while. Give yourself time to make an
occasional typo and backspaces and changes. It is very disorienting.</pre>
