Description TorrAB 2020-11-09 17:01:04 UTC

Description:
In cmntHigh.odt, comment ‘*,Sol’ is placed too high; it should be closer to Fig·10. To achieve this:
	**delete ‘*,Sol’ (^x), hit Esc, comment disappears —OK;
	**with cursor at ‘Fig·10’, insert new comment (~^c): comment reopens where it was!
	Conclusion: user should be able to position a comment (by dragging it?).


Steps to Reproduce:
1.delete comment
2.insert comment
3.

Actual Results:
comment reopens where it was

Expected Results:
comment should open near its anchor


Reproducible: Always

Attached document has only two visible comments. Navigator shows four comments, but I can see only two of them. Could you please recheck?

An alternative idea is, that LO should place comments in the same order as text the refer to. What do you think?

repro 7.6+
as comment 5's example shows, the comment from a caption can even come before comments placed in the normal text above it.
