Changes style

Asked by zhum

  Writer supports "Changes" in document - it is very usefull, when more than one man is working on the document. BUT. It is absolutely not usable.
  Is it possible to:
  1. Show changes in the style, similar to comments? Popups are not informative, if I need to see, what was changed in 100-pages documents I will not draw mouse on every page....
  2. Make changes accept-reject navigation more usable. List of 50 changes does not tell me nothing. I need to see contect and context of chane (in document) and be able to EASY navigate (next/prev change at least). May be(?), side list (as in styles, or slides list in Impress) would be better, than floating dialog...

  This features are very usable in MS Word and many people cannot (sic!) use OOO only cause unusable common work.

Hmm... So, can I send as a bug? ;)
Actually, this is a very old problem. I know many people, who are ready to use OOO, but ONLY this misfeature stops them.
Mainstream community ignores my feature requset. May be this command is able to force it?

Can you help with this problem?
