Confirmed using LO 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ (e69fafe1873e4afbe739f21f7a82a069cf7eb5b2) / Windows.
Comment 2 Sophie Sipasseuth 2023-06-22 13:03:00 UTC
The bug is also present in this version of Libre Office:

Version: 6.1.7.0.0+
Build ID: 5b3765f4d881e7ddefd0c4aad6886a46f000b4fc
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; 
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR); Calc: CL
Comment 3 Sophie Sipasseuth 2023-06-22 13:05:08 UTC
Created attachment 188055 [details]
changes added odt

Moreover, when I reload the first file in odt, then Open Edit -> Track and changes - Manage changes, the long list of changes not similar to the original appears like in the file rtf, and then the text becomes yellow like in the file rtf.

Dear Telesto,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
