Description: Bug in comparing documents: If the first change (with regard to the change position in document) is a whole paragraph deletion, that deletion will be misplaced at the end of the document. The second and following deletions look fine. All insertions look fine. If the first change is not a whole paragraph deletion (e.g., partial text deletion), everything looks fine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use any example *.docx with some paragraphs in its content 2. Make a copy of that docx as a revised version 3. Edit the revised version. Make sure that **deleting a whole paragraph** is the first change (with regard to the change position in document) 4. Compare the revised version with the original docx Actual Results: The first whole paragraph deletion will appear at the end of the document (incorrect) while other editings would appear at correct places Expected Results: The first whole paragraph deletion should appear correctly at where it actually happens Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:

Bug report is not clear and steps are not precise. Please write exactly what you do with attachment 148412 [details], if you use Track Changes, what you delete, when save etc.
Clarify the exact steps to reproduce 1. Use the attachment 148412 [details] as the original docx 2. Make a copy of that docx as the revised version 3. Delete the first paragraph in the revised version (including the new line after that paragraph). Some other changes below that first paragraph deletion are optional 4. Compare the revised version with the original docx (use `Document Compare` not `Track Changes`)
Steps shouldn't assume something is obvious: 0. Open attachment 148412 [details] DOCX in Writer and delete the whole paragraph "Etiam bibendum.." and save as revised version 1. Open revised or attachment 148413 [details] DOCX in Writer 2. Edit - Track Changes - Compare Document to original attachment 148412 [details] DOCX Actual Results: The first whole paragraph "Etiam bibendum.." deletion will appear at the end of the document (incorrect) while other editings would appear at correct places Expected Results: The first whole paragraph deletion should appear correctly at where it actually happens (as the 2nd paragraph) Note: reverse compare works right. 3. Open original attachment 148412 [details] DOCX in Writer 2. Edit - Track Changes - Compare Document to revised attachment 148413 [details] DOCX Actual and Expected Results: The 2nd paragraph is marked as added. Repro LO 3.6 and 6.3+. Not regression.
