the docx emaple

I have attached an example of document that contains many comments in one page. MS Office 2010 displayed them nicely in a readable way while libreOffice 4 doesn't. 

Please have a look to the attachments.

Comment 3 Joel Madero 2013-04-15 03:32:43 UTC 
This is an enhancement request, the reason why they look so different is because we include info that MSO doesn't such as date/author. This forces more space to be taken up.

Valid enhancement request is to limit the extra info that we put in the comments so it is just the comment. Also formatting "all comments" to particular text size might be nice

As I've been able to confirm the enhancement request I am marking as:

screenshot of 7.3

There is to much space in comments with 1 line of text and the comments with 3 lines of text have the same height of 2 lines, the comments not being visible at once. See the screenshot for a recent version.
