Nonprinting Characters no longer appear

I can't figure out how long this has been going on, but it finally started to drive me crazy: in Libre Office writer, absolutely nothing changes when I toggle the "Nonprinting Characters" button. ctrl F10 toggles the button on my toolbar, but also does not reveal any nonprinting characters.

How do I start fixing this?

Check your settings at:

Tools > Options... > LibreOffice Writer > Formatting Aids "Display of"

Check the box for "Paragraph Ends" or whichever non-printing character you want to view or hide by toggling. If all the boxes are unticked, you'd not see any non-printing character (which may explain why nothing changes when you click the button or use ctrl+F10).
