I confess that I use Print Layout a lot more often now, too, suppressing the
white space. But of course I always have all nonprinting characters
displayed as well.

I think it might be a bug since automatic page breaks display. If the
reason
you prefer to use Draft view is to suppress the margins, then place your
mouse pointer between two pages and double-click to suppress the white
space, use the same process to redisplay white space. (I stopped using
Normal/Draft view once they introduced this functionality.)
Otherwise, perhaps turning on the formatting marks (paragraph marks) would
work better than switching to Print Preview?

Prior to 2007, page breaks were clearly shown in normal (draft) view.
Now
they only appear if paragraph markers are turned on. Is this
configurable
as
it's not easy to edit in draft if you cannot clearly see your page
breaks?
Popping in and out of preview is annoying too. Can't think why it's been
changed :-(
