Issue concerns: LibreOffice Writer > Edit > Compare Document...
Routine Case: When editing a document to improve readability, the editor splits
a multi-sentence paragraph in two by hitting the "Enter" key twice after one of
the sentences within the original paragraph. The editor makes no further
changes. The edited document is then saved as a new version.
When this new version of the document is now compared to the original version
using the Edit > Compare document... function, then nothing of the split
paragraph is found to be identical between the two versions. Specifically:
1/ The unsplit paragraph in the original document is simply marked as
completely deleted. And
2/ The two resulting paragraphs in the revised document are marked as entirely
new text which is not in the original.
This is clearly wrong. And it is clearly extremely unhelpful. It can even be
misleading.
Note: This behaviour occurs whatever the settings chosen in Tools > Options >
LibreOffice Writer > Comparison.
Note: This behaviour occurs whatever the length of the original paragraph. (It
may, for instance, even be just two words; or even just one word broken in two
parts with "Enter" and with the option "Compare documents" > "By character" set
in Tools > Options).
