Bug Description

In LibreOffice 3.4.3on Ubuntu 11.10 (32bit, with unity-2d), with Writer, I can't seem to find any place to force LO to 'accept all changes' after merging/comparing two documents. This seems to be a regression, either in the window that provides the Accept/Reject Changes list (no toolbar on that dialog, and no right-click options for reject/accept etc), or else in the lack of the Reviewing toolbar that I believe was present in previous OOo versions.

In fact, the only way that I can find of accepting changes is not by right-click on the actual changed text in the main document window. Serious loss of important functionality here.

Possibly related, but smaller in extent: bug 476211.

The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Resolving as Won't Fix in libreoffice (Ubuntu) and LibreOffice Packaging. This does not mean the issue will not be cared about, but if it is cared about (even by Ubuntu/Canonical contributors), it is done upstream at LibreOffice.
