I confirm the behaviour with

Version: 7.2.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community

but for me it's the expected behaviour. If you open the "Manage Changes" window you cann se that "Reject" means "Clear Formatting". So question is, if this should be changed (would be an enhancement) or if for example the tooltip of the reject changes button should be changed to "Reject Track Change/Clear Formatting"

Adding design-team for further input and decision

If I activate "Record Track Changes", I tend to believe that my changes (relative to the original) and not only part of them are tracked. In particular, that I am able to revert my document to its original (pre-tracking) version.

Fixed in LO 7.3. Thanks for your bug report!
