Description Hyogapag 2013-05-08 02:01:16 UTC
Just take a document with comments, and print it *with* the comments (end of page or end of document, doesn't matter). Before every comment, there is a reference that helps the user. The form is :
Page : a Line : b Author : name
e. g.
Page : 3 Line : 77 Author : Hyogapag

The line corresponds to the number of the line within the *whole* document. So clearly, it can't help the reader to find the comment in the page (Page 30 Line 770 !!).

I propose that instead the line gives the line number within the page.

I have explained in the duplicate bug that this is not a bug, here is my bug 65807 comment 19 copied:

---

However, if you use the Tools > Line Numbering feature for the document, you'll see that the default setting is to continue the numbering across pages. So the numbering of the comments matches the numbering on the page, which is definitely what we expect from the feature.

Now, change the line numbering setting to "Restart every new page": you'll see that the comments now follow that numbering in the printout too.

Syncing with the line numbering settings is the important thing.
And it is possible to switch "Restart every new page on", then choose to not show the line numbering, to end up with what you were hoping.

I am closing as "not a bug", I hope that makes sense.
