You summary is very generic and not actionable. Unfortunately I also cannot
follow your list of improvement ideas. We have a couple of enhancement
requests with keyword UX:

bug 34355     Option to show track changes in margin is missing  
bug 87695     SIDEBAR: Improvements to new track changes sidebar tab  
bug 67129     When turning OFF Record Changes in Calc, LibrOffice loses all
previously recorded changes  
bug 115515    Manage changes dialog should allow action on all filtered
changes  
bug 111852    incremented fields are incorrect when tracking changes 

Some time ago the design team came up with a mockup how TC could work via
sidebar
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2015/02/19/tracking-changes-with-
libreoffice/. To some extend it's implemented (you have to enable the
experimental features). See also

bug 87695     SIDEBAR: Improvements to new track changes sidebar tab

I don't understand what is so complicated. I am trying to keep the requested
feature / "bug" fixes short and descriptive as possible.

Let me rephrase this:

Can you:

A) not hide options from here they are supposed to be
B) add a tooltip "disabled because X"
C) add a "tracking changes" status icon

It is enough disorienting that different Spreadsheet programs might have different options in 
different places; it is painful to hide some of them with no apparent reason.

into your template (I think it does not apply cleanly, but everyone on this
bugtracker somehow complains about it).

Description:
Continuing from https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130838

When 'Tracking Changes' is activated ... 

Expected Results:
A) All disabled operations are still visible wherever they are supposed to be
B) All disabled operations have some indication/explanation on "why" they are
disabled
C) There is a status icon showing that tracking changes are activated

Actual Results:
A) All disabled operations are magically missing or disabled
A) All disabled operations have no indication/explanation on "why" they are
disabled
C) There is absolutely no indication that tracking changes are activated
(Except if you look for it, or go to Document properties). Also, I am claiming
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130843 this bug, so it
feels impossible to even read the `xlsx` archive and discover that.

----------

Does that sound more actionable now?
