Description: The new "display tracked deletions in margin" option doesn't have (full) effect on how text is displayed immediately after changing the option in Tools > Options dialog, only after a save the effects are shown. Steps to reproduce: 1. Clean user profile, new writer document, type or paste some random text; 2. Turn on change tracking with menu "Edit > Track Changes > Record"; 3. Delete some part of the text, they are shown in place colored and with strikethrough; 4. Tools > Options > LO Writer > View dialog, check "Tracked deletions in margin", press OK button; 5. The deleted text now are both shown in margin, *and* shown in place colored and with strikethrough; 6. Save the document, now the deleted text is only shown in margin. Expected behavior: In step 5 above, the deleted text should be only shown in margin. Similar bug exists if the deletion was done when "Tracked deletions in margin" was checked, then the option is unchecked in the dialog. The deleted text would disappear from margin and *not shown in place* until the document is saved.
