Hi Heiko Tietze,


Thanks for your reply.

However, the main point of this issue is about readability of the main text :

     DISPLAYING DELETED TEXT WITHIN THE MAIN TEXT BODY MAKES MAIN TEXT
UNREADABLE

It's that issue that prevents many people from using LibreOffice and so, fixing
that issue is enough.

I admit a side point of the bug might be about how the "manage changes" sidebar
box appear and prompt devs to improve the box.

These cosmetic changes might be well and good, but they won't do anything for
convincing people to use LibreOffice despite that they can't grok the main text
anymore whenever they delete a word and changes display is on !!!!!!

That's what I and some other commenters have been saying for years, and
invariably the topic keeps going off-track to the appearance of the box,
filtering, authors, dates and so on, instead of just solving the actual, simple
issue...
