Bug ID: 172624
Summary: (Track-Changes) Tracked deletions remain visible with
Show Changes off when applied over tracked formatting
changes
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.7.3 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
With Record Track Changes on and Show track changes off, after direct
formatting (such as bold) is applied to a sentence or paragraph, overwritten
and deleted text remains visible, as if it has not been deleted.
Reproduced in docx and odt.
Occurs in version 25.8.7.3 and 26.2.4.2 on my PC.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a new document.
2. Type a sentence.
3. Switch Record Track Changes on.
4. Switch Show track changes off.
5. Apply bold to the sentence.
6. Select one word and type a new word to overwrite it.
Actual Results:
Both the deleted word and the new word are shown.
Expected Results:
Deleted word should be hidden when show track changes is off (as is the case
when the text has no prior direct formatting change tracked).
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes

Until recently, I was using an earlier version (24) in which this bug did not
occur.
My current workaround is to apply formatting changes with track Record Track
Changes off to avoid the bug, but this is awkward for my workflow (editor) and
would be untenable if my client needed to see formatting changes tracked.
I reproduced this bug in safe mode, so I have ticked 'Did you try resetting
your UserProfile?' below.
I reproduced this bug after launching Writer from the terminal using
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice.
The attached file shows a simple example.
