Description kkivi 2020-09-16 09:42:15 UTC
After document comparison is initiated, a dialog with the list of changes shows up, obscuring a large part of the screen. This is not always convenient. I would rather close this window and have an option to go from one change to another in order. This would be ideally done with a prev/next pair of buttons. 

It may seem that these buttons already exist. If you click on a change in that special dialog window, two arrows appear in the right corner of the toolbar. But they work in a strange way – they move you between changes that you already have visited using changes dialog only. If for example, you click only on the first change, then next/right arrow will be grayed. If you close the dialog immediately, these buttons do not appear at all.

The required functionality is available through the menu Edit-Track Changes-next/previous, but this is very inconvenient. There should be either prev/next buttons somewhere on the toolbar, or the should be a keyboard shortcut

Current prev/next arrow buttons are misleading. They move through changes that were previously visited via dialog only.

Track changes toolbar already has that buttons. So please explain, why this isn't sufficient for you.

In 7.2.1 buttons work as expected.
