--- Comment #26 from Luke Kendall <[email protected]> ---
I have something very interesting to report.

The bug is still present in 
Version: 7.5.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 9f56dff12ba03b9acd7730a5a481eea045e468f3
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

But there is a good workaround.

I work in .odt file format, but need .docx versions for some parts of my
workflow.

When I compare the 5x8 edition of my book (different page size, margins, point
size, ISBN) to the 4x7 edition, using the .odt version of each, the compare
documents function shows the entire document is different. It's useless.

But because I accidentally compare the 5x8 .docx version to the 4x7 .odt
version, I discovered by chance that it only shows the significant changes:
such as the ISBN, and genuine text differences. So that's a good workaround.

I do feel it should be possible to compare two .odt documents though without
saving one as a .docx first, though.

I hope this helps.
