I can't confirm with Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 1e9f4de320f67d1218c710bcee1969a2324c6888 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded Manage changes dialog only shows the additional paragraph 2.3 (expected). Will attach the two documents. Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 1e9f4de320f67d1218c710bcee1969a2324c6888 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded
Created attachment 186602 [details] Document after step 5
Created attachment 186603 [details] Document after step 7
I can reproduce it in 7.6. I'll attach my files too.
Created attachment 186607 [details] original (7.6)
Created attachment 186608 [details] changed (7.6)
Created attachment 186609 [details] comparison (7.6)
I've tried as follows: 1. Download attachment 186607 [details] and attachment 186608 [details] 2. Open attachment 186608 [details] 3. Edit -> Trach Changes -> Compare documents 4. Open downloaded attachement 186607 Actual and expected result Only 2.3 is shown as change (different from attachment 186609 [details]) Matthew, could you please paste information from Help -> About LibreOffice? You can also try in SafeMode (Help -> Restart in SafeMode) I hope somebody else can help.
Thank you Dieter but you seem to have skipped the last two of my steps, which are crucial: 10.Save the comparison as "comparison" 11.Close and re-open "comparison"
I repro and I bibisected with linux-64-7.5 at least two stages of this. The first one shows a change in paragraph "seven" already before saving and reloading: 2413f213625253a9c2b1787b3b9fe859d724a9bd tdf#115523 sw_redlinenum: show correct, also original numbering db1f4457543918b5e3cd8b4d3a70676855952314 tdf#149709 sw_redlinenum: fix list levels Let's ask László what he thinks, not marking as regression for now.
I'm sorry to chase, but this is preventing me from upgrading to a current version of LibreOffice, which I really want to do. Would it be possible to add a config setting to just disable this new number comparison feature? No UI required, just a setting in the registry or a config file or something would be fine by me.
Matthew Kogan committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/d67d47bf0e9c9b24fb9aeed8807c31ed28d7fec2 tdf#154454 sw: make comparison of changed paragraph numbering optional It will be available in 24.2.0. 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.
It's probably best if someone else checks it too, given that I wrote the patch myself, but as the reporter of the bug I can say that I'm happy with the behaviour now (once the new preference has been set to false). Hopefully it can be back-ported to 7.6 in time for the code freeze.
Ok, you can close as resolved fixed
Technically I would say that the bug is not really fixed at this point - my patch just allows the user to work around it by hiding the faulty tracked numbering.

(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #10) > I repro => NEW Matthew, if you think it is fixed, please change status to RESOLVED FIXED.
As I said in comment 15, it's not fixed, I've just added a workaround. The incorrect numbering still needs fixing properly. If there is going to be a new bug report for that then fine, but until then this one should remain open in my opinion.
