Default track changes reverts to old copy after changes accepted

We have a file on our shared drive where all changes were accepted and the
file was saved. Another user opened the document and it showed the file with
all reviewing/change ballons in it (just like before all the changes were
accepted). When that person closed the file and it was opened on another
user - the file was fine. What is the issue?
Thanks

Are you sure the changes were actually accepted and not just hidden (by
switching from Final Showing Markup to Final view)?

Yes, they were changed. When the second user opened the file - all changes
were accepted (they did not see the balloons with the changes) and the file
was current

Not seeing the balloons does *not* mean that the changes were accepted: it
just means that the balloons are not visible; again, this could be because
the user was in Final view.
