Bug 70630

Partially-CONFIRMED on Ubuntu 12.04.3 + LO 4.1.2.3

REPRO STEPS:
1. Open Word file provided by Bug Reporter in LibreOffice.
2. Observe last character before comment insertion point

In my copy of LibreOffice, I see the small-sized characters as described by Bug Reporter. Deleting these characters and re-inputting them results in them staying full-sized.

ADDING COMMENTS:
I see no issues when adding additional comments to the document (Insert -> Comment) from within Writer.

TESTING IN MS-WORD:
I do not have a copy of MS-Office, so I am unable to confirm if this bug "travels back" and is visible in MS-Word (as reported).

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
I'm also seeing smaller letters at the end of other words, for example the "s" at the end of "which therefore no longer exists."

Rogier: Did the above sentence previously have a comment at the end of it?

yes, there was a comment on "no longer exists." and that final small "s"
remained after the comment was deleted.

Also note that if someone did highlighting in word, which normally (within
word) disappears when the comment is deleted, in LO this highlighting
remains behind, and needs to be manually removed.

Rogier - Is there an example of this "highlighting" in the example document provided?

In my testing on LO 4.1.2.3, when I deleted a comment, the entire comment (box, text, line, and insertion triangle/caret ) would disappear. If your behavior on Windows is different from mine, please provide a screenshot of what is left behind.

Thanks!

Hereby the prior version of the same file, and you'll see how passages are
highlighted to indicate what the comments pertain to. In Word, when you
delete the comment, this highlighting disappears. In LO the highlighting
stays, and needs to be manually removed.

I notice the same behavior for the same LibO version in a DOC file editing by MS Word for Mac 2008. It's "highligted" in grey, and I can't remove it. Had to cut and paste as unformatted text.

The comment also appears strangely: The content shows up as a column of single characters on the right. Not sure if this should be reported separately.

I confirm the bug as reported by Bug Reporter.

To me, this behaviour is extremely disturbing, as I have to collaboratively work on text documents with colleagues using MS Word, so .doc is our exchange format and comments are necessary to do our job.

Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.0.4 release

Having read the report guidelines, I think it's proper to change the importance to "high". Please correct me if this is wrong.
