I have the button for displaying non-printing characters pressed and all

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).

For me, paragraph end markers can not be made visible with menu or
Ctrl-F10.

However, when I check:

then Ctrl-F10 does turn them on/off.
Odd.

The same bug with LibO-dev 3.5.0 
[Build ID: d3d1481-3f8994a-2ba0a9f].

Works fine for me with LibreOffice 3.3.4 
[OOO330m19 (Build:401) tag libreoffice-3.3.4.1].

As manj_k already pointed out, this happens not only when exporting the
document as PDF, but also on printing.

Additional observation: Sometimes only some of the nonprinting
characters become invisible (and the corresponding options in the
Formatting aids settings dialog become unchecked), sometimes more of
them. When printing some document "A.doc" (it’s in DOC format)
yesterday, only no-breaking spaces (NBSPs) became invisible (they were
displayed like ordinary spaces), but when printing "A.doc" again today,
most of the options, including the ordinary spaces, became unchecked.
Yes, I know, this sounds odd, but it really happened this way.

Formatting aids - displayed nonprinting characters become unchecked during printing and PDF export. LibO 3.4.4 RC2 Still the same error.
Workaround: 
After PDF-export or printing and *before* closing Writer do
Menu:File:Select Page; Close, 
otherwise the wrong settings will be saved and can only be reset via Tools/Options...

No, "OS/Version" is not "Windows (All)", but really "All": this bug is not only visible on Windows but also e.g. on MacOS X.

@Rainer Bielefeld:
Thanks for correcting the picker fields again.

Change version? Will there be an update for 3.4.3 if the problem is
found? I think no.

I hope there will be an answer to this terrible bug. I hate it to do
this every 10 mins again and again!

I have found the problem still exists on 3.4.4. Using Windows 7 x64
Professional.  The show/hide toolbar button becomes non-functional on
first print, and resetting in Options does not fix the problem.  The
problem for me persists across sessions and restarts of computer.  I can
fix it by deleting everything under .../user/3 and having the program
recreate the folder, but that is much too time consuming a workaround
for routine use. I am using OO.o 3.3 pending a fix.  Thank you

@ComWebUser: Please don't play with the version number. The bug has been reported for LibO 3.4.3. It is not marked as fixed, so it is clear that is still present in 3.4.4. 
Changing the version number make the initial version in which the bug has been found lost.

Best regards. JBF

I confirm the problem "displaying non-printing characters" using LO 3.4.4, Windows 7 prof 64 bit and the following macro:
Sub AktuelleSeiteDrucken
   oDoc = ThisComponent
   aPrinterProperties = oDoc.getPrinter()
   oPrinterName = aPrinterProperties(0)
   If IsNull( oPrinterName ) Then
      MsgBox( "Kein Drucker gefunden" )
   Else
      if MsgBox( "Der aktuelle Drucker ist: " & oPrinterName.Value, 1,"Hinweis") = 2 then
            exit sub

            oDoc.print(aPrintOps())
        endif
    EndIf

Question: is this the same problem as Bug 40482?

Yes.
I've tested the macro with LibO 3.4.4 release on WinXP.

A workaround (to get back "displaying non-printing characters"):
1. Open 'Page Preview' (Standardbar)
2. Close 'Page Preview'

Testing the macro with LibO 3.3.4 release works fine.
