Possibly that would make sense.

I have no preference here. Heiko?

And maybe add a crystal ball to the program, to guess what should be
highlighted for another user who needs another item highlighted? ;-) I strongly
disagree, that we need to "highlight" UI elements (that BTW were put to
*front*, available directly on the main window, instead of having user to look
in some menu/dialog - so it *already* *is* highlighted), when someone had a
feeling that they could find it easier if it was highlighted. Every user has
own preference for "this could be highlighted" - so it would end up
highlighting everything.

> 5. I suggest adding the Show Whitespace option there.

No. That is not a feature that most users need. It is explained in help, in
guide, and is discoverable in the logical View menu.

This is bug 98446.

Possibly; but OTOH, marking documents changed just because of changing its view
is a bit too much. There's some balance here; I don't know if it would make
more problems to most, than would solve problems to minority ...
