Created attachment 188328 [details] A wrong word with three comments In the attached document, there is a spelling error "lightninng"; that word has three comments in it. 1. Make sure that a spell checker is installed for en-US; 2. Start to check spelling (F7); 3. When the word is selected, and a correction is suggested, press [Correct] button to replace the error with correct spelling. The "foo" comment will be moved to the end of the replaced word (which is OK); but the other two comments disappear. Code pointer: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/uibase/shells/textsh1.cxx?r=6591a83a#2125 See how the same thing (keeping comments) is implemented in https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/core/table/swtable.cxx?r=3c1fee94#2432

I can also reproduce it (Version 7.3.7.2. and todays repo pull - Version 24.2.0.0.alpha0+). I'll work on it.
