Track Changes – Delete button does not bear witness strikethrough

Those who are familiar with the Runway Changes option know that when it's turned on, deletions are marked with a strikethrough (when selected past highlighting and pressing the Delete push button on the keyboard), and additions are marked with an underline. Yet, sometimes, the word or judgement to be deleted does not bear witness a blood-red line striking it out. Rather, the text or the complete sentence gets wiped out. In such cases, tracking changes for coworkers becomes difficult as they have no idea where to incorporate changes. The only information displayed is the message in the comment balloon reading: DELETED: ABC.

The deletion isn't beingness displayed as Strikethrough due to a combination of certain factors. You'll need to disable them as follows:
