--- Comment #4 from sergio.callegari at gmail.com ---
After a few tests, I confirm that the bug appears to be triggered by change
tracking and is not a regression (namely it is not unique to LibO 7.0.0 RC 1).

I do not have a test document, but I have a procedure by which the issue is
100% reproducible on my system.

1) Start libreoffice7.0 --writer

2) Open the web page https://lipsum.com/ in a browser to have some text to
paste into LibO

3) Check that Edit->Track Change->Record is disabled and copy the first text
block of the web page ("Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text ... like Aldus
PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.") into the so far empty writer
document.

4) Activate Edit->Track Change->Record.

5) Copy in the clipboard the second text block of the web page ("Contrary to
popular belief ... the 1914 translation by H. Rackham"). Go back to LibO,
select the second paragraph paragraph "It has survived not only five ... like
Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.", paste from the clipboard
so replacing this paragraph with the text previously copied from the web page.

5) Disable Edit->Track Change->Record and Edit->Track Change->Show.

6) Copy in the clipboard the third text block of the web page ("It is a long
established fact ... sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like)"). Go
back to LibO, select the text "This book is a treatise on the ... 1.10.32", and
paste from the clipboard so replacing this text with the text previously copied
from the web page.

7) Observe that something weird has happened. Some text well before the one on
which the action at point 6) was practiced has changed, causing words that had
previously been erased to reappear.

8) Press CTRL-s, see the file selection dialog appearing. Provide a filename
and save. See the text changing again.
