Example file from Word 2016

Attached DOCX document has two page break deletions recorded, and the second tracked change is lost when opened in Writer.

1. In Word, add a page break at the end of a paragraph with text
2. Enable change tracking
3. Position the cursor to the end of the paragraph with the break and press Backspace
-> deletion of the page break gets recorded
4. Save the file as DOCX, reopen in Writer
-> the tracked change with the page break is lost.

Attached document contains two page break deletions, this report is about the second. There is another issue with the first, which will be a separate report.
