I posted a bug the other day about the fact that, often, when I am using the LibreOffice writer, my words start appearing in orange strikethrough lettering. I can't delete it, either. A person named Michael wrote that it wasn't a bug but that my Track Changes feature was on. He wrote that I needed to disable it not just hide it. WHAT? I did actually go and turn the Track Changes off, but it keeps coming back on. I'm not pressing Ctrl-Shift-C either. What does "disable" Track Changes mean versus "hide" Track Changes. I see neither of those options in the menu. Why is this? Why does Track Changes keep turning itself back on? Also, another thing that happens that never happened to me when I used Microsoft Office is that I find all these errors, extra little words and typos in my text. I'm wondering if someone is hacking my software via Libreoffice program. Isn't this based in Germany? I lived in Germany for almost 5 years in the 1990s, so I hate to say this, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Germans were behind this. Or Microsoft people trying to dissuade others from using open source software. I struggled with a T-mobile (German firm) issue and then finally replaced my sim card in my phone with AT&T. Now I have none of those issues.
Would you check to see if the following is checked: Edit > Track Changes > Record. If yes, please uncheck that option, and restart Writer, then type some text to see if the track changes is still running.
If you are saving as ODT then it's a matter of knowing how to use, using help and documentation and it's not bug and not for here. You should instead look up at ask.libreoffice.org. If saving as DOCX filetype, then this may be a duplicate of other bug.
