Bug 125909 only fixed it for Writer. Repeating myself from it: Hidden tracking of changes might in some cases be a security issue, if one sends a document which contains tracked information not supposed to be available for recipient. Possibly when opening a document with hidden change tracking, an infobar could be displayed, or a status bar icon (this still be mostly unnoticed imo), or some other way of informing user about the mode (and how to proceed)? There are real-life problems with that, e.g. https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/306943 - and that's not the only one. Calc in particular needs this fixed, too.
Created attachment 203731 [details] A sample file This file has change tracking enabled and hidden. A1 contained a text, that was deleted. It can be seen e.g. using "Manage" dialog.

No question that other modules with TC deserve the same treatment. And this infobar is a good solution, IMO. Could be a nice easyhack.
