            Bug ID: 147169
           Summary: Show complete deleted text on mouse-over (like a
                    tooltip) when using track changes (deletions) in
                    margin
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]

The mock-up shows a tooltip with the entire deleted text (when show track
changes (deletions) in margin is activated)

Show track changes in margin could be an excellent feature, but it lacks
something very  important to make it really useful: Currently it is impossible
to see the entire deleted text. This, however, is a precondition for a reviewer
to decide whether he/she can accept or reject the change.

More detailed description: 
* Activate the option "deleted change in margin" during track change (Extras ->
Options -> Writer -> View) 
* you now see the shortened text content of the deletion in the left margin
(see attached screenshot). The same shortened text content also shows up in the
comment column of the "Manage-Windows" (Edit -> Changes -> Manage). 
* Unfortunately, it is nowhere possible to see the entire deleted text. This is
necessary, though, for reviewing a document with track changes.

Enhancement proposition: 
* Please add a tooltip-type mouse-over that shows the entire deleted text.
Please see the mock-up in the screenshot. This greatly would improve the
usability of the feature "Track changes in margin".  
* It would be also great if the same "tooltip" would show up when hovering over
the "comment" column in the Track changes manage window.
