Example file to demonstrate Word Count counting comments

The Word Count window counts comments as one-character words (this also means that comments separate words, just like " " does).

Expected: comments should not be counted at all and should not separate words.

How to reproduce:
1 Start a new Writer document
2 Go to Insert > Comment to add a new comment
3 Go to Tools > Word Count

Observe that the Word Count window now shows the following:

Whole document ------
Words: 1
Characters: 1
Characters excluding spaces: 1

Even though there only is a comment in the window.

(The example attached also demonstrates that the line ending is _not_ counted, since it contains two comments + one legitimate character which Word Count shows as 3 words/3 characters.)


Reproducible with:
* LibreOffice 3.5.4, x86-64, Linux
* LibreOffice 3.6 a1+, x86-64, Linux

Resolving this as a duplicate since clearly these are two symptoms of the same bug.
