Description Tom 2020-11-30 08:12:39 UTC

Description:
Exporting a Writer document enhanced with comments per "Export as PDF" gives different results depending on the pdf viewer used. Some show only the comment symbol overlapping the actual text, while others lack a symbol but show the comment when hovering over the comment location or double clicking at the comment location.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) New Writer document
2) Write some text
3) Mark word(s)
4) Open context menu > Insert Comment > Add some text
5) Save document
6) File > Export As ... > Export as PDF (Options see attachment)


Actual Results:
A pdf file is created with comments inconsistently treated by different pdf viewers.

Evince
------
- The comment symbol is placed directly at the comment location overlapping the actual text
+ A pop-up comment opens when hovering over the symbol
+ A comment window opens when double clicking on the comment symbol

Master PDF Editor
-----------------
- There is no comment symbol shown
+ A pop-up comment opens when hovering over the comment location
- No comment window opens when double clicking at the comment location


Okular
------
- The comment symbol is placed directly at the comment location overlapping the actual text
- No pop-up comment opens when hovering over the symbol
- No comment window opens when double clicking on the comment symbol


Xreader
-------
- The comment symbol is placed directly at the comment location overlapping the actual text
- No pop-up comment opens when hovering over the symbol
- No comment window opens when double clicking on the comment symbol


I will add some screenshots of these results in a follow-up comment.

Expected Results:
1) The comment symbol should be placed at the left or right of the marked text not overlapping the text
2) A pop-up comment should opens when hovering over the symbol
3) A comment window should open when double clicking on the comment symbol


Reproducible: Always
