Repro 6.3+. Inherited. 
Cause is that LO doesn't import Format-Page-Sheet-Comments for XLSX. 
This is specific to XLSX, XLS fileopen and end of sheet print is fine in general. 

Note: in XLS will LO print both visible comments on page and on the following sheet. If print on page is not needed, comments can be turned off with View-Comments. I consider that behavior logical and fine.

Further to a recent email from the team (ref: "To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.")

I have done further testing with a basic Calc-produced .xls and .xlsx file which was then opened in MS Excel. As per the original bug, the comments saved within the Calc produced .xls files are respected by MS Excel only in so far as they print using "Displayed at end of sheet", but are not respected when "As displayed in sheet". I conclude there is something anomalous between how Calc saves an .xls file versus how Excel does.

I have tried the same test using .xlsx file and I can report that with my basic test, the .xlsx file which was originated in Calc does indeed print properly when loaded by Excel.

I can supply the attachments if so required. (currently using Version: 6.3.2.2 (x64) Build ID: 98b30e735bda24bc04ab42594c85f7fd8be07b9c)

Dear NISZ LibreOffice Team,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
