Created attachment 87835 [details] a chapter from a book where this problem occurs. Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Make Comments in a file in Word (.doc) 2. Open same file in LO Current behavior: the last character BEFORE the highlighting of the comment will be reduced a few font sizes. When you delete the comment, the highlighting stays. Expected behavior: In Word the same problem does not exist, but the incompatibility does travel back. If you re-export the file to Word, the smaller character prior to the anchor of the comment will stay, and sometimes, the highlighting mysteriously disappears, even if the comment is still there. Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.1.2.3 release Last worked in: 3.6.7.2 release
Partially-CONFIRMED on Ubuntu 12.04.3 + LO 4.1.2.3 REPRO STEPS: 1. Open Word file provided by Bug Reporter in LibreOffice. 2. Observe last character before comment insertion point In my copy of LibreOffice, I see the small-sized characters as described by Bug Reporter. Deleting these characters and re-inputting them results in them staying full-sized. ADDING COMMENTS: I see no issues when adding additional comments to the document (Insert -> Comment) from within Writer. TESTING IN MS-WORD: I do not have a copy of MS-Office, so I am unable to confirm if this bug "travels back" and is visible in MS-Word (as reported). ADDITIONAL NOTES: I'm also seeing smaller letters at the end of other words, for example the "s" at the end of "which therefore no longer exists." Rogier: Did the above sentence previously have a comment at the end of it?
yes, there was a comment on "no longer exists." and that final small "s" remained after the comment was deleted. Also note that if someone did highlighting in word, which normally (within word) disappears when the comment is deleted, in LO this highlighting remains behind, and needs to be manually removed. *Rogier Fentener van Vlissingen <http://viz.me/vliscony/t/7>* *About Me <http://about.me/vliscony>* Join Green Power Business Builder Bootcamp<http://www.vliscony.com/green-bootcamp/> !

Rogier - Is there an example of this "highlighting" in the example document provided? In my testing on LO 4.1.2.3, when I deleted a comment, the entire comment (box, text, line, and insertion triangle/caret ) would disappear. If your behavior on Windows is different from mine, please provide a screenshot of what is left behind. Thanks!
Created attachment 87840 [details] attachment-22532-0.html Hereby the prior version of the same file, and you'll see how passages are highlighted to indicate what the comments pertain to. In Word, when you delete the comment, this highlighting disappears. In LO the highlighting stays, and needs to be manually removed. *Rogier Fentener van Vlissingen <http://viz.me/vliscony/t/7>* *About Me <http://about.me/vliscony>* Join Green Power Business Builder Bootcamp<http://www.vliscony.com/green-bootcamp/> !

(In reply to comment #0) > When you delete the comment, the highlighting stays. I notice the same behavior for the same LibO version in a DOC file editing by MS Word for Mac 2008. It's "highligted" in grey, and I can't remove it. Had to cut and paste as unformatted text. The comment also appears strangely: The content shows up as a column of single characters on the right. Not sure if this should be reported separately.
I confirm the bug as reported by Bug Reporter. To me, this behaviour is extremely disturbing, as I have to collaboratively work on text documents with colleagues using MS Word, so .doc is our exchange format and comments are necessary to do our job. Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.2.0.4 release
Having read the report guidelines, I think it's proper to change the importance to "high". Please correct me if this is wrong.

Is this the same as Bug 72511?
This is different from Bug 72511.

Can someone please test as asked, also in the latest development LO versions, now it's 5.4 master? I recommend using Separate Install GUI tool from https://flosmind.wordpress.com/si-gui/ which downloads and extracts different LO versions, without installing.
This bug was not precisely reported or triaged. I understand it like this: "Fileopen: last character reduced in .DOC with comments attached to text ranges" Needs proper source document for test, which is attachment 87842 [details] from Comment 6. It started from 4.1, maybe related to Bug 59530. Reproduced with 4.2.8.2. No repro with 4.3.0 and later, so Comment 13 not confirmed. I close as WFM.
