Workbook reduced to one succinct sheet

It is apparent that when the comment would diplay right and there is an end of sheet obstruction it tries to go left and forces the anomaly. A comment on the left simply fails miserably

Notably, When I removed the first sheet to anonymise the file it crashed - generating 3c100fd3-e028-4ef0-93a1-654a0abb8d82 

Subsequently, it "recovered" and permitted removal of the other unwanted sheets but Explorer will not permit moving or removing because LO claims to be holding the closed file open.

As usual when the recovery procedure calls itself it then leaves rogue copies of soffice.bin active in the Task Manager but not according to the takbar icon nor the active apps. I had to search for it in Background Processes

Complications creating the file forced a crash and auto submission of  3c100fd3-e028-4ef0-93a1-654a0abb8d82 

There appear to be quite a number of instances on that record - should I bother cluttering it up with another report of a known fault?

Seems changing the 'Arrange' for the shape on O6 solves the issue.
Comment 8 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2024-03-05 02:05:16 UTC
Thanks for the report. I can reproduce the issue with the sample file in OOo 3.3, as well as in a recent trunk build:

I believe that if you exit Design mode again, the comment will still pop behind the form controls.

This is already tracked in bug 45085, so I am marking as duplicate.
