Description Gunter Ohrner 2019-02-12 11:32:54 UTC
Experienced with Collabora CODE 4.0rc2:


### Steps to reproduce

(Do not save during those steps.)

1. Add comment to cell
2. Copy this cell somewhere else
3. Edit the second cell's comment


### Expected behaviour

The second cell's comment gets changed, the first cell's comment stays unaffected.


### Actual behaviour

The second cell's comment will not be shown anymore after editing.
If the first cell's content is displayed, it will show the modifications done to the second cell's comment.

After closing and reopening the document, the second cell's comment will be visible again, but will show the unmodified contents instead of the edited one.
On the otherhand, the first cell's comment, which should be unmodified, will show the edits which were performed to the second cell's comment...

Looks as if after copy paste, both comments are "the same" to the editor and it get's really confused if the copied comment is edited.

Comment 3 Gunter Ohrner 2019-02-12 20:09:31 UTC
So should I just wait for future Collabora releases which will incorporate the fix?

Is there a public cutting-edge LOOL installation somewhere where I could try to reproduce my findings?

Comment 2 was about LibreOffice. Durgapriyanka, please note that this is a LibreOffice Online bug.

I can confirm the issue in a current version.
