Created attachment 196416 [details] DOCX file where the problem happens When I open the attached DOCX file, I am unable to resize the comment sidebar from the sidebar's right edge. And if I user the ruler to resize the sidebar, it does not respond correctly. Steps to reproduce 1) Open the attached DOCX file in LO 24.8; this file has lots of comments 2) Move the mouse to the right edge of the comment sidebar; note that the mouse pointer won't change and resizing won't be possible 3) Move the mouse to the right edge of the Comment ruler (beside the document ruler); the mouse pointer will change as expected, but resizing won't work correctly 4) Move the mouse to the left edge of the document; note that the "hit area" of the resize handle is there; for some reason it is going to the wrong position If I create a blank file in Writer, resizing works fine... and if I open a file without comments and then try to add comments, all work as expected. The problem happens when I open files that already have comments.

Confirmed. Interestingly if I have a second Writer document with comments open, a change to comment width there bleeds over to the writer session with the OOXML open, resetting comment width there. It holds during editing, but any attempt to further adjust its width pops it open to maximum width.

I think I figured out what's happening. The problem occurs whenever the first comment is not on the first page. In that case, the pages before the first comment do not have the cursor change. The cursor changes after the first page with comments, but then resizing is broken.

Have been testing the following version that is supposed to be fixed. Version: 24.8.2.0.0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 10f5e3d255c094bb34155f6354b93e93289e43a0 CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 22631); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-CA (en_CA); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded Unfortunately it isn't fixed for docx Office 365 files. The resizing of the comment box doesn't work in that version. Following is repeatable. 1) Open Writer document 2) Highlight some text and add comment 3) Select comment to try to shrink or increase size 4) Comment will spread out to maximum size 5) Despite there being a cursor "|" to drag and resize, the resize box doesn't work.

If I understand correctly it's not about resizing comment box area, but comments sidebar, a new feature from Experimental mode. (Tools - Settings - Advanced). Be sure to check that.
@bunkem - Rafael is working on a patch filed under bug 162855 that appears from my testing will fix the bug you have described in comment 8 and reported in bug 162792. @BogdanB - This is about the comment sidebar in the document view and not the new experimental sidebar comment deck. I'm setting this ticket to verified fixed, tested with: Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d500848976b6244048684a9972322b582559910a CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 22631); UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded
