My take on this is as follows: Fix the regressions that have been introduced by the rowSignature patch and leave all other things as they are. If we start to rewrite the change tracker code now (and things like paragraph split/merge will need a major rewrite), we'll see LyX 1.4 not before the year 2007. I agree that especially the row split/merge stuff is annoying, but we have to finally get 1.4 out now. BTW there are much more severe limitations in the unofficial 1.3 ct patch, and people still seem to find it useful. Guten Rutsch, Jürgen
