No error, but I confirm it is not allow a comment in the text box. And after save it is allowed.
I don't know if it's to confirm or not.

In 7.1 master I don't get sax error either. The comment is not loaded either.

Word does not allow to add comments to textboxes, so not exporting (anymore) is consistent with that.

Bibisected the disappearance of sax error with bibisect-linux64-7.1 to:

tdf#136441 ms export: don't export comments in footnotes

I'm removing regression keyword since that was solved.


About not allowing people to lose their comments in enterprise environments, I guess we could easily extend the solution given to bug #86188 to cover this situation. 
Confirming bug for that case.

Comment 10 Justin L 2022-07-12 21:06:26 UTC
Although the option name is specific to footnotes, is there any reason not to expand it to these similar situations? I'd say just re-use/expand its scope.
