And if the comment it's showed above, can hide the button. How do you see it then?

Thank you for your comment.

Opening the attached spreadsheet in this issue and moving the mouse over the push button hides the comment.

The comment only shows when you hover above cell A1. If the mouse pointer is not above cell A1 the comment does not show. When the mouse pointer moves over the button is it not above the A1 cell so the comment from cell A1 is not showing and the button can be pressed.

Fixing this bug will make the UX consistent with other spreadsheet software.
Comment 5 Heiko Tietze 2022-08-26 08:08:19 UTC 
The comment is a temporary control and (mostly) intentionally started. I see no reason to not have the comment on top.

Confirming the behavior on Linux with master using gen/kf5/gtk3/gtk4.

For annotations inserted into a Calc DOCUMENT CREATED with V 7.5.0.3 it WORKSFORME. 

This assuming that annotations permanently shown in front of form controls don't make sense. They still are in the background as expected. To see the content you can start editing the annotation. The form control will then be made transparent for it.

WORKSFORME only covers the case of hidden annotations shown if the mouse hovers over the parent cell.

Same issue as in bug 45085. Let's mark as duplicate.
