--- Comment #43 from whynot@nurfuerspam.de ---
I also still can't believe we've had to wait forever. 

However, there may be a silver lining. I have the online version of LibreOffice
installed on a server of mine (LOOLWSD 3.3.1, LOKit Collabora Office 5.3-53,
the CODE implementation). It turns out that it shows both insertions and
deletions next to the document (together with information about the time, the
user who did the edit, and buttons to accept/reject and even a comment
function). In the document, however, it is still showing all the edits as well,
notably the deletions in strikethrough font. 

Now, this is not exactly what we are looking for, but at least it shows that it
is possible to implement this functionality in a quite straightforward way.
What it does is that it shows both insertions and deletions in the document AND
on the side (essentially showing every edit in two different ways). I guess
what most of us want would be to show the insertions in the document (in a
different color) and the deletions on the side. 

Unfortunately, LibreOffice online does not provide a lot of ways to change the
settings; nothing is offered to change the display of changes. But the
observation suggests that it should not be all that difficult to implement it.
After all, LibreOffice usually only implements a subset of what full LO is
capable of. Is there any way this could be brought to the attention of the
developers, especially if this is perhaps not a huge deal to do?
