    Thanks Paul. I am not using the change bars module, in fact I
    didn't even know about it.

    Best,

        Hello

        I'm using LyX 2.3.0 on win 10.

        I've noticed that when I remove a line break (shown by an
        inverted T on track changes), the change is not displayed on
        the compiled versions, unless I approve it. I've seen this
        behaviour several times, is it a bug?

        Best,

        I was wrestling with the same thing and, just now, noticed
        that (in a test document) the PDF output had the line break
        removed. I then added the change bars module (which I always
        include when tracking changes), and upon recompilation the
        deleted line break was back. Are you using the change bars
        module?

        Paul



    What modules are you using? Maybe one of them is interfering?

    If you create a new document (plain article), type some text
    including line breaks, turn on change tracking and delete a break,
    is the break still present in the PDF output?

    PS: Bottom-posting makes the thread easier to follow.


No special modules. And it happens just like you described, if you can check the attached MWE pleaseĀ . Thanks.

Daniel
Sorry, I misunderstood the original posting. I thought you were deleting forced line breaks (entered with Ctrl-Enter), not paragraph breaks (just Enter). I confirm the break remains in the output (even when "Show Changes in Output" is selected). What's worse, if you do use change bars, there is no bar in the margin to warn the reader that any change at all occurred, visible or not. This latter is, I believe, a bug in LyX. I'll check the bug tracker (when I get a chance) and, if not there, report it.

As far as merging the two lines or not in the PDF output before accepting the change, I'm not sure whether that is the right thing to do. I can live with it either way, as long as there's a visual indication that what you are seeing is a change.

Paul
