Sounds like this needs turning into a unit test; any chance you could
start with that ? the whole redlining world is in desparate need of deep
torture testing :-)
I would hack at:
sw/qa/core/swdoc-test.cpp
Where you should have a near full Writer instance run headless as a
unit test, and replicate what the key-entries are doing (I suppose)
programatically (manipulating the document). Interestingly, if you are
showing the red-lining (with strikethrough) I would expect things to be
more reliable ;-) when it is not shown, per-key-stroke (or so) we
re-insert all the red-lining, add the keystroke, then remove all the
red-lining from the model [ this is not wonderful for performance, as
perhaps you can imagine ;-]. Anyhow, I would dig into:
sw/inc/redline.hxx
and its uses around the place (the feature is called 'redlining')
traditionally.

Great.

It would be just great to have you working on it, and its all yours :-)
All the best,
Michael.
