--- Comment #9 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
This was introduced for bug 131253 by Justin with the comment

        // particularly with images (but also plausible for any kind of frame),
        // it is very disconcerting to see a fake border,
        // so (just like the page boundary) only show fly "text boundaries"
        // when "Show Formatting Marks" is turned on
        if (!gProp.pSGlobalShell->GetViewOptions()->IsViewMetaChars())
            return;

With or without this line, the behavior is not satisfactory. My expectation is
to have 
* non-printable characters controlling single glyphs only, fine-tuned via tools
> options > formatting aids
* structuring elements (internally called subsidarylines) switch on/off per
view menu, and I would distinguish between objects (charts, images...),
sections & frames, tables, and  text boundaries

Section boundaries has no effect at all, and switches on/off with text
boundaries (I could live with this generalization but we'd have to remove the
command then), objects such as graphics also follow text boundaries. And all
together the non-printable option.
