Bug ID: 141038
Summary: Comments in Libre Writer are unusable because of their
sheer size
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I bring a lot of MS Word documents (*.docx, mostly) home from my work computer.
They are all collaborative and contain up to many hundreds of comments.
However, I cannot expand or resize the comment boxes in Libre. The comments are
unreadable without literally scrolling down, as the automatic text size is far
too large and the box size far too small.
Here's an example of what I mean:

Is this a known 'bug?' The only threads I could find online were all several
years old.
I can change the comment text size on a per-document basis, but the default
view is unusable for me. Further, changing the font size DOESN'T FIX THE
SCROLLING PROBLEM.
The software should show all comments in a smaller text box, with a smaller
font, without scroll bars, by default.
I posted this same problem on Reddit, and they suggested I post an official bug
report.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open *.docx document containing many comments and revisions.
2.Comments are formatted extremely poorly.
Actual Results:
No 'crashes,' just a document that is practically impossible to navigate.
Expected Results:
Show all comments in a smaller text box, with a smaller font, without scroll
bars.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
My documents involve translating from Japanese to English, and commenting in
Japanese.
