I tried it on 6.2.8.2 on Ubuntu 18.0.4.LTS and does not appear. This is what I
did :
- Go to Tools > Options (Outils > Options in French)
    It opens the options popup
- Go to LibreOffice > Advanced (LibreOffice > Avancé)
    It displays the "Options - LibreOffice - Advanced" page
- Check the box "Activate experimental features (Activer les fonctionnalités
expérimentales"
    It pops up a "Restart LibreOffice" box
- Restart LibreOffice
- Open a random file and save it with a TEST name to be sure not to override
anything
- Activate changes recording
- Replace a word with another in the text
    The replaced word still appears as strikethrough in the text, making the
text unreadable and LibreOffice unsuitable for my needs

Could you please check if I did something wrong and tell me how to activate the
feature ? Thanks a lot in advance !
