1. Start a new document. 2. Select Edit -> Changes -> Record to start recording changes. 3. Put some value into any cell. 4. Go to Edit -> Changes -> Accept or Reject to launch the dialog. 5. Check the comment of the recorded change. It reads something like (Cell B3 changed from 'B3' to '2')* * the actual message may vary depending on the cell position and the new cell value. But the message is supposed to be (Cell B3 changed from '<empty>' to '2')
I have a fix.
This is actually a regression from 4.0. 4.1 already had this bug.
Fixed on master and sent request for backports to relevant branches.
