Hi Uwe,

First let me say thanks for being civil with your request, we all appreciate
it.

As for raising the priority, I have two points to make:

1. While priorities help guide development, they are not set in stone and when
developers look through open bugs they don't use priority as their only
rationale. Other reasons would include a general interest in the topic (which
you title is really good at saying what this bug is pertaining to), how easy it
is implement, and if a developer is already comfortable with that section of
the code. So don't be discouraged by the priority, this isn't a really hard
enhancement to implement so I don't see it sitting for years

2. When I triage I try to think "what is more important", when I do so I use
this chart:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/0/06/Prioritizing_Bugs_Flowchart.jpg

I think at best it would be a minor bug but in reality I see this as an
enhancement as LibO is performing how it's designed to perform. Furthermore,
you are in the minority using comments already (most users just type), this
particular addition would only benefit those users who use comments and want
them enumerated which, for them could be very useful, for most users, would
never be noticed.

Again, this isn't a terribly difficult thing to implement so don't take the low
priority as a "this will never get done" it's just a signal to developers to
say "crashes, performance degradation, etc..." will clearly be more important
on face value than this bug. It's much better to have this bug correctly
triaged rather than put at a higher priority than is called for and having devs
look at it and think "why in the world was this put so high"

If another QA member wants to change the status, feel free to do so, I've
explained my rationale, if others disagree, no big deal. 

Uwe, once again thanks for your civility in your request, it helps and I'll
make sure to see if any developers are available to check this out.
