Track changes suddenly not working with auto-propagation

Does that make any sense? I'm reviewing documents and started by looking at inconsistencies so I've run verification. I need the record of the changes to be kept so the translator can make changes to the finished document. 
Screenshot of Trados Studio showing a verification error for an uppercase 'G' inconsistency before approving changes.

But if I approve the first occurrence of a repeat, it does auto propagate the data but leaves no record that a change occurred. See below. The crossed out uppercase G is gone now so the translator won't know that a change happened here and can't make the necessary corrections to the final document. I swear this has never happened before. Even auto-propagated changes are recorded if "track changes" is on. "Final mode" is off. I just did the same thing while opening for translation. Still won't show changes. The original files are Excel files generated from xliffs. I used bilingual excel so I could open multiple files at once soasto maintain as consistency between them. Can anyone explain this, please?

Before approving:

After approving:

Screenshot of Trados Studio showing the same Japanese segment after approval with the change recorded and auto-propagated.

I need the record of the change to say visible. Toggling track changes off/on or restarting makes no difference.

Just tried a different project where it's working properly.

After approving. Autopropagated and changes recorded.
