Description rafael.linux.user 2021-06-01 08:42:02 UTC
I had a really big trouble in my work by an issue in LibreOffice 7.

I have a document with "Track changes" enabled. We need to export to txt our documents to join in only one. LibreOffice doesn't have "export to txt" so we use "save as" to save our document to txt.

However, far from a logical way of doing it, LibreOffice saves in TXT tracked text too!!!! So finally, result was a big error cause we relied on LibreOffice and don't re-read our exported text.

In resume: When LibreOffice save to TXT a document with "Track changes" enabled, doesn't work properly and export modified/deleted/inserted text too. 

The logical way that user expect is that if user save a LibreOffice document to a kind of document that have no that LibreOffice feature (like a TXT file), LibreOffice should not try to "emulate" it in a weird way like described one.
