Deleted comments are no longer marked as deleted with tracked changes

The following two documents:

base.docx (15.2 KB)
changed.docx (14.8 KB)

when compared using 21.8 (Java), produce the following which shows the single comment as deleted using tracked changes:

diff-21.8.docx (16.5 KB)

but when the same is done with 21.9:

diff-21.9.docx (15.0 KB)

the comment is no longer marked with deleted tracked changes.

I’m unsure if this is a bug or an intentional change. The release notes don’t state that it was intentional, but the new behavior does align with what Mac Word does when using the Compare Documents feature.

(Tracked internally as #7531.)

@icsk Yes, you are right, this is a planned improvement. The comment comparison mechanism has been improved in 21.9 release as a part of WORDSNET-21718 fix.

Got it, thank you for the clarification.

@icsk Please feel free to ask in case of any issues, we will be glad to help you.
