I would assume that it would be a win in writer for a setting that affects all
text of the document to also affect text in shapes and textboxes, else it feels
like broken functionality.

Well using the cursor key wont tell you if a space is a regular space or a
non-breaking space, or with soft hyphens appearing as if something is between
the two characters, but a user unfamiliar with it wouldnt know what it was and
possibly would delete it.
