Description Tomasz Palutkiewicz 2018-09-13 17:43:00 UTC
Description:
If there are many comments at single page of document,
list of fields at the right side becomes quite long and lines are mixed;
it would be very useful to hide the lines and contents of all comments
and use comment marks to show and hide only particular one.

Additionally it would be nice to manipulate the size of comment marks,
i.e. make it proportional to font size of text where it is placed
or just generally (default) by some comboBox in comment options.

Finally it may be useful to change content and format of comment header (it is fixed: author, date, time - font size of 12pt).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create multiple comments at one page of the document
2. special case: the same page height, i.e. one row of the table
3. go to and find proper comment to read or edit it

Actual Results:
Long list of comment fields displayed at right side of the page
and a lot of lines connecting them with marks at commented points. 

Expected Results:
Most of comment fields can be hidden, so only selected one is visible;
something similar as it is in Acrobat Reader after export to PDF.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The document is a poster with a set of small topics to discuss,
detailed plan of a lecture or perhaps repeatable cycle of lectures.
Comments should contain some speech samples with details for each topic;
so access time of each comment strongly influences work efficiency
as they are and will be read and edited multiple times.

We take one issue per report, so let's focus on this and summon UX team.

For your second suggestion you should create a new report as I was unable to find it here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=106179&hide_resolved=1 I understood you meant the triangular comment markers.

Your third one seems to be bug 62150

We collapse in case of many comments and that's suboptimal, though I disagree with hiding lines or non-active comments. The discussion runs in bug 38295 and bug 86888 & bug 89232.

That's bug 85592, bug 81458 and basically bug 62150. And some other maybe too. 

If you agree, Thomas, we close this ticket as duplicate and you join the others. Thanks for reporting anyway!

Thomas, I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO', because I think we need your answer to Heiko's comment.
