Visible white space not working

I recently had to edit some YAML and noticed that visible white spaces, which I've always had turned on since 16-bit Textpad, weren't visible any more. They're enabled in Preferences | View | Visible white space, they're just not visible, and I can't remember the last time they were visible. I'm using Textpad 8.x 64-bit. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Cannot reproduce. Some pointers:
  • Do you use any skin (View > Appearance)? Try without any.
  • Did you check the colors of the document class(es) that it doesn't clash with the actual background?

Ah, thanks, the screen shot helped. I had visible whitespace selected in Preferences, but not selected a second time in the View menu.
