Bug Description
When authoring, or viewing write-enabled document in Writer (LibreOffice 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build:302) ) the non-printing character symbols don't show on screen.
Ctrl-F10 toggles toolbar icon OK, but to no effect on screen.
I'm running Ubuntu AMD64 Oneiric (beta) with Nvidia proprietary driver active.

I have the button for displaying non-printing characters pressed and all boxes in _Tools → Options → LibreOffice Writer → Formatting Aids → Display of_ ticked, including Paragraph end, Custom hyphens, Spaces, Tabs, Breaks. However, Writer randomly turns them off, i. e. the above characters become invisible in the normal view mode and the respective boxes become unticked.
This happens with any file but without any particular cause I could detect. Most often, it happens after printing a document out or switching to print preview and back, but sometimes also during the regular process of text editing.
The issue was found in LO 2.4.3 RC1 and persists in RC2 in Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Russian/JRE 1.6.0_26, however, I did not notice such a problem in 2.4.2 (on the same platform).
