Navigation Pane comments arrows

Actual behaviour:
With the resolved comments view option unchecked and the resolved comments invisible, using the navigation pane's arrows (see screenshot attached), browses through resolved (invisible) comments as well (in this case nothing is shown but the user is taken to the place where the resolved comment is).

Expected behaviour
With the resolved comments view option unchecked, the the navigation pane's arrows should browse only through unresolved comments.

Comment 3 Jim Raykowski 2022-02-24 03:31:08 UTC 
Hi Anduril, Bug 146191 proposes to change the Navigate by Comment behavior to move the cursor to the comment anchor in the document versus moving it into the comment edit window. This would prevent the cursor from being lost when comment navigation is to resolved comments that are not shown. Not exactly what you have requested as expected behavior but probably better than the cursor disappearing.

The the move handler for comment navigation is here:
sw/source/uibase/uiview/viewmdi.cxx
IMPL_LINK( SwView, MoveNavigationHdl, void*, p, void )

@Telesto, separate ticket please so https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/130471 can be assigned to it.
Comment 5 Anduril 2022-02-24 10:06:03 UTC 
Hi Jim,

thank you for coming back to me on this.

I have doubts on moving the cursor to the comment anchor rather than to the comment edit window, because when working, it is more useful to have the cursor in the edit window of the comment, which is where your attention (and action) is needed, rather than the spot in the text where the comment is anchored to (this is where you focus next, once you have read the comment).

The problem with the present behaviour is not really the disappearance of the cursor, since after a while you guess that it is going through all the comments (visible or invisible), but the fact that you are not able to focus on the non resolved.

Ex. Imagine a text where 90% of the comments have been resolved. If the collaborator only wants to see the non solved ones, he can either scroll the document visually, or use the navigation. In this latter case, he would like a similar experience to the one of scrolling, i.e. being brought from non solved to non solved comment.

Here is a patch that skips hidden comments when using the Navigate By control for Comments. It also fixes a recent issue that navigated comments are not scrolled into view:
