Dear Christopher

Thanks for your reply and for your thorough analysis of this bug.

I have submitted this bug to the LibreOffice Bugzilla as you suggested. The bug report is on:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44847

Clearly, the fundamental flaws and weaknesses in LibreOffice Writer Document Compare have been an issue for very long, as is well documented on:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Track_changes

Evidently, little if anything appears in fact to have been resolved here
since OpenOffice itself was launched, more than 10 years ago now.

Yet I cannot emphasize enough the importance in a professional document
production and editing environment of a competent and fine-grained
Document Compare functionality in LibreOffice Writer for document change
identification, revision management and version control.

I sincerely hope that both Canonical and the Ubuntu community help
pushing this issue to the top of the agenda of the LibreOffice
developers.

Leo
