Description Mike 2022-09-29 17:29:48 UTC
Description:
Since installing LibreOffice 7.4 (previously on 7.3), there is new formatting for changes in Writer that weren't previously there.
New row in table: Light blue background.
Moved text: Green with double strikethrough (from) and green with double underline (to)
Changed outline numbers: Light blue with original number in square brackets.

There doesn't seem to be any way to turn this off or change the formatting of these changes.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start with a new document.
2.Create some text and a table.
3.Add some headings with outline numbering.
2.Enable "Show changes" and "Record changes"
3.Create a row in a table. (Blue highlight)
4.Cut and paste some text in the document. (Green with strikethrough and underline)
5.Insert a numbered item inbetween 2 existing numbered items. (light blue numbering)

Actual Results:
Highlights changes in a way that can't be configured or switched off.

Expected Results:
Don't show changes that can't be configured or switched off, or create a way to configure/switch off those changes.


Reproducible: Always

I did further testing which might help narrow down where these issues were introduced. Please see this post: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/change-tracking-formatting/82049/9?u=moldstadt

The green text with strikethrough and underline seems to be gone (fixed?) in LibreOffice 7.4.1.
