Hello,

I have noticed a strange behaviour when working with track changes in docx-files. It seems like the track changes is completely deleting parts of the text which is added to the original text.
Here is an example of an editing session which should produce text “Original text in the document.”
- Start Writer
- Type in “Original text on document.”
- Save the file as a docx-file (Word 2010-365 Document), for example “track_changes.docx”
- Exit Writer
- Start Writer
- Open “track_changes.docx” file
- Set Edit/Track changes/Record → On
- Make sure Edit/Track changes/Show is enabled
- Edit the text in the file: change “on” → “in”, add “the” in front of the word “document”.
- Save the file (again, use docx-format)
- Exit Writer
- Start Writer
- Open “track_changes.docx” file
- Unset Edit/Track changes/Show
→ Now the text in the file is “Original text document.”, it should be “Original text in the document.”
If I use .odt file format then the track changes works right.
