Also in LibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4 Not knowing to much about track changes etc..
No idea why previous TC get lost (and not a UX topic). Michael do you?
well those tracked changes are all format changes <text:format-change> and writer can't actually record the previous formatting so if you add a new format change it will just overwrite the existing ones. i see an obvious UI problem here, the Manage Changes dialog shows the format changes with the same green + icon as insert changes, which i find confusing; delete changes get a red X.

From usability point of view not the nicest thing, IMHO. Have seen quite of number of cases where you simple lose changes. Which makes it not to trustworthy to use. IMHO. I'm still not getting how undo is capable to undo every change, will track changes ins't able to register it show. Can they undo information not somehow being put into track changes recording. Probably wishful thinking..
you're right of course, iirc Word can do this sort of thing, it's just a matter of finding someone with enough time to implement it... the implementation of Undo and Tracked Changes is almost entirely separate currently.
