Description: An .odt with many tracked changes was sent to someone with "a new PC". When they opened it, they found huge sections of text were deleted, in excess of what I'd edited. Usually it was several lines that fell between two different tracked changes, or from one tracked change to the end of the paragraph. I can attach a screenshot showing the differences between what I emailed him and what he saw when he opened it. I can't attach the actual file because of privacy rules governing the data in the document. Editing and Viewing Steps to Reproduce: It happened between me and another user. We are paying for that person's time, and I tried to get some info from him but he's not interested in helping me track down this bug. He said that he's using "a newer PC" but that's it. I sent it to the one other person I'm allowed to send it to (based on our data privacy rules). She's also on "a newer PC" and is running regular MS Word. I sent her an .odt and a .docx and both came through just fine. Sorry I can't do more sleuthing! Actual Results: It worked fine - no issues Expected Results: When we tried to reproduce the bug, the software did the right thing.

Created attachment 205025 [details] Screenshot showing the bug this is a screenshot showing the actual document's edits, and the edits that the other user saw when they opened the document on their end and printed it out.
Lauren, thank you for reporting the bug. but I have no idea how to reproduce the bug. At least we should have some more information from the other user. So I propose to close it as RESOLVED INSUFFICIENTDATA Do you agree? If not, please provide some steps to reproduce.
