Description: This is applicable to .doc and .docx formats only. With track changes turned on, when a comment is deleted via comment's pop-up menu Delete Comment, the comment is deleted permanently and does not register as a tracked change (in contrast deleting a comment inline within text registers a "Comment deleted" change"). With .odt format it works fine - deleted comments are registered as tracked changes regardless if they were deleted inline or with a pop-up menu. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new document. 2. Write something, add comment to text. 3. Save as .doc or .docx 4. Close document 5. Open .doc or .docx document again 6. Turn on track changes. 7. Delete comment via pop-up menu "Delete Comment" Actual Results: The comment disappears without a trace Expected Results: The comment is deleted and marked as a change "Comment deleted" Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 25.8.2.2 (X86_64) Build ID: d401f2107ccab8f924a8e2df40f573aab7605b6f CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (build 19045); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: pl-PL (pl_PL); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded
This is not a bug. MS Word is not able to track changes in comments; we follow it in its file formats since the fix for bug 108791.
(In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #1) > MS Word is not able to track changes in comments More specifically, to track deletion of comments.
OK, I get it. Found a workaround - deletion from the Navigator still marks comments as deleted.
(In reply to Marcin Segit from comment #3) Thanks - I will fix that.
