Description Stephan van den Akker 2014-04-18 13:21:02 UTC 
Created attachment 97558 [details]
Sample document containing 2 lines of commented text.

How to reproduce:
1: Load the example document
2: Choose File -> Print from the main menu
3: In the Print dialog on the "General" tab: choose Comments -> Place in margins
4: Print the document

Expected result:
The commented text is highlighted in the print-out

Actual result:
The commented text is not highlighted in the print-out. Sometimes the border of the highlighting is visible.

Note: Normal highlighting does work with line breaks present.

Tested on openSuSE 12.3 (64-bit) and 13.1 (64-bit)
LOdev version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+

Kind regards,

comment with border

I noticed the following when exporting to pdf (with printer settings set to comments in margins):

One line paragraph --> Range comment on one line --> highlighted
Two line paragraph --> Range comment on first or second line --> highlighted
Two line paragraph --> Range comment from middle of first line to middle of second line --> not highlighted
Two line paragraph --> Range comment over all paragraph --> not highlighted

If the cursor was placed on the comment anchor and the document is exported to pdf then that comment will have a border around it and the dashed line will be solid.  If it is a comment that is not highlighed then it will just have the border.  If the comment is highlighted then it will have that border as well.

I do not know if this happens when printing instead of exporting to pdf.

From what I see this is Linux & Mac only. Reproduced in Linux with 6.1+.
But not reproduced printing in Windows with LO 4.3 nor with master 6.1+.

Comment 10 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2021-07-24 12:02:03 UTC 
Reproduced using "Print to file..." in Print dialogue, with "LibreOffice Writer tab > Comments: place in margins".
The preview shows the highlighted text, but the resulting PDF doesn't have it.

Fixed from 7.3 with https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/4ab908e94da9305d6800c82b5d753c26193aa96b

tdf#138826 is actually a duplicate.
