I don't buy the "people will complain that they missed a comment" argument. When
the document creator has hidden a comment, then the comment is obviously not
meant for consumption by receivers of the document who are not told specifically
about it. Why else would he have hidden the comment?
You are thinking about techies. Those can use the navigator to find all
comments.
About not being worth an option. That's a good point, but we already have an
option for it that is perfectly applicable. It's the option to show hidden text.
Obviously this should make the side pane with the comments re-appear because it
makes the text the comments are attached to appear. This further eliminates your
argument that people could be bothered by missing a comment. There is no
indication that there is any hidden text in a document unless you decide to turn
on the option to show it. So far, no one has complained. I don't see how
comments should be different from the main text. And if I may remind you, before
the side pane was introduced, comments were exactly like text. The little boxes
disappeared completely when the text was invisible, unless showing hidden text
was enabled. All I want is to have the old behaviour back. If it was okay back
then, it's okay now.
We have to scenarios where hidden comments come into play. The first one is when
parts of a document are hidden/unhidden on demand (through an interactive
extension) and comments related to hidden text are not supposed to be read
(because they don't apply). The second are comments that contain data only for
consumption by our extension.
In both cases I don't want the user experience to suffer by a sub-optimal zoom
factor and an empty side panel that will confuse ordinary users (who wonder if
this is a graphic bug and they should be seeing something there), but this is
what OOo currently does.
