Cursor sticks on right margin justified

[digidan]

For fully justified paragraphs, OOoWriter holds the cursor at the right margin until you type the first character of a word that overflows the line. It doesn't insert CRLF until you type a non-space character, so that it's possible to introduce extraneous spaces without confirming visual feedback.

This behavior is different from Word, which allows you to type as many spaces as you want and moves the cursor past the right margin accordingly until you type a non-space character, at which time it reduces any extraneous spaces to one and places the non-space character at the beginning of the next line. This feature is the automatic default behavior for Word with justified text in insertion mode.

Believe it or not, losing this behavior is causing me a lot of grief, mainly because I can't see whether I've typed two or more spaces accidentally. If I have, it doesn't show up unless further editing pushes the extra spaces off the line end in either direction. Of course, I can do a text replacement to fix it, but that introduces a very nagging extra step.

Anyone else experience this? Am I missing an option somewhere? Must I live with it?

If you are just worried about double spaces, look under Help at "spaces - ignore double".
Incidentally, no CRLF is inserted at the end of the line (as you would find if you enabled the Non-printing characters) - the line is just wrapped.
