--- Comment #20 from [email protected] ---
I just checked the list of new features for LO 5.0 beta, and unfortunately, no
mention of an improved way to show track changes. 
I am doing a lot of collaborative writing in an academic environment, and I
agree with many others here that the current way of displaying the changes is
not really usable. Keeping all the deleted text crossed-out will also give a
completely wrong impression of the actual length of the text after the edits.
In many cases, one targets a particular word or page limit, where this is
totally misleading. 
What could be done in order to bring this to the attention of more developers?
Is this really to difficult to implement? Apparently, there is already a
mechanism to place comments as balloons on the margins. So shouldn't it also be
possible to display deleted text like this, like MS Word does? Only the display
colors, etc., of the actual balloon would have to be a bit different to
distinguish it from a comment.
