<div>
<pre>When selecting "Edit - Track Changes - Compare Document", a file dialog for the
selecting the other document opens.
The title of this dialog reads just "Compare with". I always wonder (and
stumble opon) whether the file I select here is the "new" or the "old"
document. And if I to it the wrong way around - which happens most of the time
- interpreting the insertions and deletions is very hard since they are the
wrong way round.
The LibreOffice help says: "You should always start with opening the newer
document and compare it with the older document". Thus the document to be
opened in this dialog is the "old" or "original" one.
I suggest changing the title of this dialog to be more explanatory. Like:
Compare with (original document)
Original document to compare with</pre>
