Comments and Track Changes don't work as expected

[dvezina]

Hello,

I have a document that has many comments. The editor then edits the document whilst reviewing the comments. Track changes is on.

When the editor deletes text that is highlighted for a comment, the highlighted region for the comment changes.

<?oxy_comment_start?>Now is the time<?oxy_comment_end?> becomes:
<?oxy_delete text="Now "?><?oxy_comment_start?>is the time<?oxy_comment_end?>

When the editor deletes the entire highlighted text, the comment PIs are removed completely.

This is a problem as user's point to MSWord which maintains the track changes and comments and expects this behavior.

I wrote a DocumentModificationFilter to intercept delete and split the PIs around the deletes but this is very slow and not usable.

Do you have any plans to fix this?

Hi Deanna,

I understand and I can reproduce both cases. I will add an issue and see what we can do on our side.
