Description Gerry 2024-06-20 14:56:07 UTC
Description:
When working with track changes in a Writer document, it is currently not possible to identify/highlight/jump-to the related change in the "Manage Changes" window/sidebar. This makes working with documents with many tracked changes very difficult.

Problem: If you have a long document with hundreds of changes, the "Manage Changes" window/sidebar is very important to work through the changes. However, the changes in the document and the changes in the manage window are related one-way. If you click on a change in the "Manage Changes" window, the document window correctly jumps to the related change in the document. However, if you click on a change in the document window nothing happens.There is no way to relationship from the document window to the related change in "Manage Changes". However, this is essential to productively work with the list of changes in the manage changes window.

Expected behavior: If the user clicks on a change in the document, the "Manage Changes" window/sidebar should jump to the related change in the list and highlight it.

System: Ubuntu 24.04, LibreOffice 24.02.
