Title:
  Export to PDF permanently breaks viewing non-printing characters

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Doing File->Export as PDF permanently breaks the "Show non-printing
  characters" feature.     rm -rf $HOME/.libreoffice fixes the problem
  (until the next Export As PDF).

  Investigation showed that
  .libreoffice/3/user/registrymodifications.xcu  changed during 'Export
  As PDF' in some way which caused the breakage.

  I will attach the before and after versions of the
  registrymodifications.xcu file.

  Also: During the Export-As-PDF, the following warning appeared on the terminal where lowriter was launched:
  (soffice:8684): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to retrieve the file info for `file:///tmp/Untitled%201': Error stating file '/tmp/Untitled 1': No such file or directory
  (I had selected '/tmp/Untitled 1' in the file-selection dialog when creating the PDF.  The PDF was written successfully and looks good.)

  TO REPRODUCE:

  1. lowriter
  2. Type a few lines
  3. View->Nonprinting Characters (confirm that paragraph markers are visible)
  4. File->Export As PDF
  (non-printing characters disappear and can never again be viewed in this or any other document)
