Open this one first

When two revisions of one of our specification documents are compared using
"Edit" --> "Compare Document", some changes are mislabeled to be in a different
section, which makes review (online or offline) very difficult.

I have tried to move our organization (IEEE ISTO Printer Working Group) to
LibreOffice from Microsoft Word, but the document comparison limitations seen
in these cases makes it very hard to work with "-rev" revision document
reviews.

Reproducing the problem:

1. Open the attached "wd-ippauth-20190304.odt" document.

2. Do "Edit" --> "Compare Document", and choose the other attached document
"wd-ippauth-20190117.odt"

3. Make note of the sections and formatting. One area to watch is the sections
on page 15 (section 3.2 - 3.3).

4. Do "File" --> "Save as...", and save the new document as a different
document.

5. Go to page 15

Expected behavior: No new sections will have been created.
Actual behavior: A section 3.3 with all strikethrough text will be created. The
new section numbers throw everything off.
