--- Comment #3 from Andrew Poth <[email protected]> --- The bug is NOT fixed, at least not as of LibreOffice 4.3.5.2 on a Linux 32-bit system, and the comments in Calc disappear whenever cell contents are removed. This problem was reported in Bug 77383, which was declared "invalid" due to "lack of activity". The truth is, it was never investigated, even though it is ridiculously simple to replicate. To demonstrate, open a new sheet in Calc. Enter a number or any text in a cell. Move the cursor to another cell, then go back to the cell in which you entered a number or text. Press the delete key on the keyboard or backspace in the Input Line until all the characters in the cell are gone. The comment has disappeared, never to be seen again. Actual behavior: When text is cleared from a cell, the comment disappears. Expected behavior: Comments are persistent until one right-clicks on the cell or group of cells and selects "Delete comment". This is unexpected behavior. I would expect comments to be persistent, regardless of cell contents. Comments are often used in cells in order to remind oneself of the type of data in a cell or the format in which it is to be entered into that cell. Deleting the contents of a cell in preparation for entering new information is a natural thing to do, and a user would not expect the comment to disappear as well. I can find no setting in the Calc Options menus that would allow a user to modify this behavior. This bug appears to be due to a design deficiency, i.e., the behavior of comments in cells not having been defined adequately from the start, and thus not coded properly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
