--- Comment #4 from Matthew Francis <[email protected]> ---
There may have been some confusion about when "tracked changes" should have
been on/off in the previous comments, and who the edits are by. Apologies if
so; please allow me to restate.

In general, when tracked changes are enabled, I don't believe it should make a
difference to the behaviour of autocorrect whether changes are visible or not.
It's a matter of convenience only to see or not see the edits, and in either
case, when tracked changes are enabled, the changes of an earlier Person A
should not be randomly modified by a subsequent person B (this is a requirement
of a workflow of which I am often part, where changes are accepted by a later
Person C who needs the full history)


Upon further checking, it seems that it makes a difference whether or not the
word in question is at the start of the line. Perhaps spelling autocorrection,
auto-capitalisation and tracked changes are tripping over one another?

In a fresh build (today) of 4.4 master, with tracked changes on and visible,
from the start of the line,
[Note: The deleted character should have been deleted by another user]

1) "am(deleted k)es<space>" -> "Kmakes" (incorrect - wrong correction and broke
another user's edit)
2) "A am(deleted k)es<space>" -> "A (deleted k)makes" (correct)
3) "(deleted k)nwon<space>" -> "Kknown" (incorrect - wrong correction and broke
another user's edit)
4) "A (deleted k)nwon<space>" -> "A (deleted k)known" (arguably incorrect -
should have ignored the other user's edit)
5) "(deleted k)knwon<space>" -> "Kknown" (incorrect - wrong correction and
broke another user's edit)
6) "A (deleted k)knwon<space>" -> (no change) (incorrect - should have ignored
the other user's edit and corrected)


(4) and (6) are a pair to me - the other user's edit should have been ignored
for autocorrect purposes in both cases
