The button to show nonprinting characters (the pilcrow on the Default toolbar, also Ctrl+F10) doesn't work, neither in LibreOffice 3.4.3 nor 4.2.5.2. This is a sufficiently serious flaw from my viewpoint to force me to use Apache OpenOffice instead.
It works for me on Windows 7 and Linux Mint with LibreOffice 4.2.4. Is there any additional information you can give for why this may not work? If not, then i'd suggest you clear your profile by removing its folder < https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Default_location > and try again.
