--- Comment #20 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> ---
There are (at least) two usability considerations/problems regarding comment
indications:

1. On one hand, it's a problem when comment indicators hide content.
2. On the other hand, it's a problem if comment indicators are not
clearly-visible, as I might inadvertently miss them

Bug 91415 was opened regarding the first usability problem, not the second one.
Also, bug 91415 did not ask for any changes at high zoom levels - it regarded
the situation without playing with the zoom level.

The patch introduced in 91415#c1 did two things: Replace the square with a
triangle, and scale the triangle during zoom.

The first change is relevant to that bug. I don't see how the second change is
relevant. While I may personally "like" the scaled comment indicators' look -
such a change does not IMHO belong on that bug. So I agree that that part be
backed out for now.

Heiko, or someone else, should open a separate bug to discuss whether or not
comment indicators should scale.

Having said that... Ady, the images you attached here do not serve your case
well enough. The 7.6 examples, with the scaling, do not exhibit hiding of cell
contents. Could you replace the screenshots with cases which are actually
problematic? In bug 91415, we got a link to https://i.imgur.com/3Ejqm9t.png -
which shows very problematic content hiding. How bad is the situation now?

Also, Ady,

I disagree with that. On the contrary, I see it as a problem if the comment
indicator does not draw your attention.
