Description Pranav Kant 2017-02-23 10:16:33 UTC
Open a plain odt, write a sentence, insert a comment, reply to these comments (so to have a comment thread).

Now move the cursor through left/right arrow keys over the anchor position. You require multiple left/right arrow key hits (which is equal to the length of comment thread at that anchor position).

Don't think this should be the expected behavior here. User probably expects only one left/right arrow key moving over the anchor position.

Moreover, this leaves scope of breaking the comment thread when user presses some key when the cursor is in one of the intermediate states/positions around the anchor position.
Comment 1 Aron Budea 2017-03-03 21:42:02 UTC
This stems from the way the comment anchoring is implemented, via inserting a special element in the text (or something like that).

Confirmed in 5.3.0.3 and 3.3.0 / Windows 7.
