Sample Document

This report is based on suggestion by dlmitch00@hotmail.com in Bug 55682 - Define Comment FORMATTING with an own ("paragraph") style"

Current situation with  "LibreOffice 3.6.3.1” German UI/ German Locale [Build-ID: f8fce0b] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit): 

1. Open blank new spreadsheet
2. Click cell E5
3. 'Rightclick -> Insert comment'
   > Comment box appears nearby F2:G2
4. type "xxx" into comment, Click E20
   Comment disappears, Cell cursor at E20
5. Move mouse cursor to red comment mark at top right corner of E5
   > Comment appears as expected at place where you created it
6. 'Rightclick Comment Mark -> Show Comment'
    Comment box appears and stays visible
7. Click Comment Box
   > Control Points Appear
8. Drag and Drop Comment box to cell A7
9. 'Rightclick Comment Mark -> Show Comment'
    Comment box disappears 
10. Move mouse cursor to red comment mark at top right corner of E5
    Expected: Comment box appears at it's new place nearby A7
    Actual: Comment appears at it's old place  F2:G2

New place A7 has not been forgotten, repeating step 6 shows comment at correct new place 'A7'

That worked fine with OOo 2.0.2, but already with OOo 3.1.1 I can reproduce this problem, so it's inherited from OOo 

Attached sample202.ods works fine with OOo 2.0.2 and shows comment box nearby A7, But LibO will show the comment box at F2:G2.

NEW and OS=All due to comments in Bug 55682

Also still REPRODUCIBLE in the Master branch; tested with latest available master daily build: LOdev 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ (build ID: c252694; pull time: 2012-10-12 22:05:41) on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Intel).

@ Rainer:
Thank you for filing this -- exemplary! -- bug report!

Its a simple viewing problem. When I create a sample document similar to my sample with LibO 3.6.3.1, the Comment will be shown at it's correct place when I open the document with OOo 3.0.2.

So from my layman's point of view a fix should be an EeasyHack.

> when I open the document with OOo 3.0.2

Sorry, typo! Must be " ... when I open the document with OOo 2.0.2"

Hello,

I am not a "Techie" so I don't understand a lot of the information within
this Forum, but I still have the "Comment Box" issues as originally
described by me. I see many different replies, some of which were rather
rude (like Comment #11 -- "Useless Information ... Shows nothing"), but no
solutions. You asked for a Sample of the problem, which sent  and yet you
tell me it's "Useless". So what do you want from me? I saw the
"work-around" posted for creating a Macro, but I really expected the
LibreOffice group to fix the problem. Do you think it is possible to fix
this bug, so that each and every user does not need to create a
"work-around"?

One suggestion that you made was for me to modify the "Paragraph Style".
And how do I Modify the "Paragraph Style"? And by modifying this, does that
affect both Comment Boxes as well as all other fonts in all cells on the
sheet? Will this be the "new" Default from henceforth for all new sheets
and all new Comment Boxes?

Thanx in advance for your time.
David

(In reply to comment #4)

@David
Status NEW shows that all info for the bug fixing process is available here and in Bug 55682.

No further information is required, as soon as a developer has time (no bugs with higher priority in the line) he will fix this bug. 

A diagram showing the process you can find on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:BzLifecycleold.png> 

For questions how to use LibO, how to do workarounds and similar please ask on a mailing list or <http://ask.libreoffice.org/questions/>

In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise
