Comment 1 Telesto 2024-01-15 13:45:10 UTC 
With show ON the whole table gets marked as deleted, undo works
Comment 2 Buovjaga 2024-01-26 14:20:56 UTC 
The deletion behaves like this already in 3.5.0 (Linux bibisect-43all repo).
Comment 3 Buovjaga 2024-01-27 07:40:26 UTC 
Hmm, what's the fix?

No clue what happened here.. The log doesn't lie, so I'm the one to blame for changing the status.. human error
Comment 5 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2024-02-21 05:03:18 UTC 
Whole table gone in OOo 3.3 as well. However, undo does bring back the whole table.
The undo issue is a recent 7.6 regression, let's track it separately in bug 159812 (bibisected to a different commit to bug 159195).
Comment 6 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2024-02-22 03:37:58 UTC 
Actually, the disappearance of the whole table from OOo 3.3 to LO 7.5 was unrelated to track changes. It also happens with track changes off, and was resolved in 7.5.

Issues with deleting a column while tracking changes started in 7.6. Bibisected with linux-64-7.6:

0) No issue at oldest

1) Column not deleted, table's contents deleted instead since [93946771cff6ca5a85d02a2276a691f051223e50], which is an implementation error from when deletion of columns started being tracked:

2) Whole table gone when deleting the column since [88d9624e446f3362be67a141b4c5725c54746bca], which is dfa57ee45bf9aef73f8bf385b089739ee0572998, a cherrypick of:
