Thanks Drew.
I found that this problem is reproducible without my personal settings
on whitespace-mode and pretty-control-l-mode.
New steps to reproduce:
(1) load pretty control mode. (require 'pp-c-l)
(2) turn it on. (pretty-control-l-mode 1)
(3) turn on global-whitespace-mode
(4) now the unicode char ( “·”, middle dot, #xb7) used to indicate
spaces are gone.
Some other interesting findings.
• turning off pretty-control-l-mode doesn't help.
• unloading it doesn't fix it neither. (unload-feature 'pp-c-l)
• the problem does not happen if you simply load pp-c-l but doesn't
turn it on. Once turned on, the problem happens and cannot be fixed by
turning off pp-c-l or unloading it.
The above are tested with pp-c-l but it happens with
http://user42.tuxfamily.org/formfeed-hline/index.html
too as i tested earlier.
