Created attachment 189365 [details] Document with tracked and untracked paragraph style changes When "Track Changes" is on, if one makes direct-formatting changes to the paragraph style - no black line is shown on the margin of the paragraph, to indicate those changes. This, in contrast to a switch from one paragraph style to the other, which does add a black line in the margin. It is quite important to have at least some kind of visual indication that tracked changes have been made.
I claim this is a bug, not an enhancement request. All changes to a document are supposed to be trackable, and revertible. That's necessary both for review of styling changes (as opposed to textual changes), and for being able to account for the full set of differences between documents.
Michael, is the modification of any attribute tracked as a change?
I think the expectation is reasonable and making a paragraph centered, for example, should be taken into TC.
Note that this bug is supposed to be about the lack of visual indication for changes that are actually tracked. I've opened bug 157105 about changes to styles that aren't even tracked. (Naturally, if a change isn't tracked it won't be indicated.)
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) > Michael, is the modification of any attribute tracked as a change? used to be "no" but iirc Laszlo was working on something in that area...
Dear Eyal Rozenberg, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION.
