Getting rid of a bad habit

In LyX I sometimes accidentally press return before doing ctrl+shift+m
for a display equation. The output in LyX is just the same as it is if
I do not press return. But the spacing in LaTeX is different. Would it
be a reasonable feature request for us to provide a visual indication
of the hidden line break?

Attached is an example. If you put the cursor at the end of "abc" and
press "delete", it will remove what I'm referring to as the bad line
break.

Best,

Scott

What about
Tools -> Preferences... -> Mark end of paragraphs
?

This particular case seems special to me. Showing ALL ends of paragraphs
is overkill. It
seems to me that we ought to display some extra space here, since that
is how the output will
look.

Good point, I didn't even think about that.

Makes sense to me.

You have an interest in figuring out how to do that?

I had interest more for seeing whether it would be a valid feature
request. I wouldn't mind trying to implement it, but might not get to
it for a while.

I support this feature request!
