Description Frank Zimmerman 2024-07-28 11:03:41 UTC
Description:
It's more of an annoyance than a bug, so move it if it is in the wrong section.
I'm not sure when this changed, as I mostly work in Writer. But somewhere in the last year or so, maybe sooner, Comments inserted in a Calc cell now have a User/Date-Timestamp inserted on top. I discovered this when I loaded one of my older spreadsheets.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Sheet in Calc.
2. Click in a Cell and Insert a Comment.
3. Click out of the Comment.
4. Hover over the Cell.

Actual Results:
When hovering, you see your Comment, but on top of it is a Username/Date-Time stamp.

Expected Results:
No Username/Date-Time stamp, like it used to be. Or give us the option to turn off this behavior.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I will attach the sheet and a screenshot to show why this behavior is not the best in all circumstances.

The sheet I'm looking at is a Timeline in the events of the life of Jesus Christ. Events on the left (rows); Gospel books in columns. The cells contain the verse ranges, and the comments contain the actual verses.

It looks unclassy to have my name and the date above every set of verses. I did not write the New Testament, so why should my name and the date be there?
