Hi,

I am wondering whether this is on purpose or not:

1. Enable Track Changes
2. Enter some text
3. Disable Track Changes
4. Select the text
5. Insert an inset, e.g. a LyX note

Result:
- The tracked changes are removed

Isn't it more intuitive to leave the changes as they are? After all I am
just adding a non-change tracked inset "around" the text.

I think that would be cheating. Track changes is for a co-author. Either there 
are all changes visible or none.


Not sure whether this is a misunderstanding. Not fully sure what this 
has to do with co-authors.


Here are some use cases that might make more clear why I am wondering:

Say you have a passage with a lot of tracked changes. Now, however, you 
would like to "comment it out" with a LyX note. Surely, you don't want 
to loose the changes made but keep them for later evaluation. Both with 
and without tracked changes enabled this is currently impossible.


Or take another case. You want to put the passage into a footnote. Same 
problem. No way to do this without loosing your trackings.


Now that I think about it, the tracked changes should actually be kept 
in both cases - with and without change tracking enabled. The difference 
should just be that the insert of the inset is also tracked or not, 
respectively.


Again, it seems intuitive that the insets are placed around the selected 
text. LyX might internally remove the selected text and insert it into 
the inset. But then the inserted text should keep the trackings (and all 
other features as far as possible) of the removed text IMO.
