Description spinth 2024-05-08 16:38:01 UTC
Description:
When deleting parenthesized text in 'Track Changes>Record' mode, the color of the text changes abruptly when the last character inside the parentheses is deleted. The color changes from that for deletion to that for insertion 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Once the document is opened, go to edit>track changes>record
2. From the Tools menu select options and select custom colors for insertion and deletion
3. To replace parenthesized text, insert new text and delete old one.

Actual Results:
When deleting the parenthesized text a character at a time, the deleted text color changes to that for insertion when the last character (close to the parenthesis) is reached. 

Expected Results:
The deleted text should remain the same color (for deletion) no matter it is parenthesized or not.


Reproducible: Always
