            Bug ID: 136504
           Summary: EDITING: Backspace does not move the cursor to the
                    left of a character recorded as deleted by "track
                    changes"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: vdt.dummy at gmail.com

Description:
When "track changes" is activated and visible, it is not possible to move the
cursor to the left of a deleted character, i.e. the strike-through ones, by
pressing backspace. This results, for example, in the impossibility to delete
more than one character at a time when track changes are recorded and visible.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Activate track changes recording (edit > track changes > Record) and make
the changes visible (edit > track changes > show) 
2. Try to delete some text by pressing backspace
3. Or set your cursor to the right of character recorded as deleted, i.e.
marked as stroked-through

Actual Results:
cursor does not move to the left of the deleted character, making it impossible
to delete more than one character at a time or navigate trough text marked as
deleted using the backspace key

Expected Results:
cursor should have shifted to the left


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Tested on Debian Buster and Manjaro (both using KDE desktop)

Writer 6.4.4.2 is working as expected

delete key is working as expected even in Writer 7.0.0.3 (i.e. cursor moves to
the right of previously deleted character)
