Created attachment 174737 [details] Example file from Writer When a paragraph gets a different style assigned while change tracking is enabled, there is no change tracking entry generated, unlike in Word. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a new Writer document, have some text in it. 2. Enable change tracking 3. Change the paragraph style of the text Actual results: The Manage Changes dialog does not show a tracked formatting change. Fun fact: DOCX import/export and accepting/rejecting Word-made paragraph style changes works fine. Expected results: Changing the paragraph style should generate a change tracking entry.

The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
tdf#144272 sw: track change of paragraph style Modifying style of a paragraph, e.g. from "Standard" or "Text body" to "Heading n" styles wasn't recorded by change tracking. Now it's possible to track and reject these changes also after DOCX export/import. Note: ODF track changes doesn't support format-only changes, so likely it will need to export the paragraph content two times, with the old and with the new paragraph styles, too). Note: selecting multiple paragraphs to modify their styles at once doesn't record the changes, yet, because multi-paragraph ParagraphFormat redline range hasn't supported by AppendRedline().
