original text, without comment

As of LibreOffice version 4.1 it is possible to add a comment to a text range. However, if I save the file as MS Word 97/2000/XP/2004 (doc) the formatting is severely damaged after saving and reopening. In particular text that had italics and/or super- and subscripted text.

This is the text with a text range. As can be seen: super- en subscripts are messed up, as is the italicised text.

When not attaching a comment to a text range, formatting is preserved.

A similar problem occurs when opening MS Word files (doc format, edited with original MS Office). If in such a file a comment is attached to a text range, the formatting is changes. Most often the last character in the text range will get a smaller, and different font. I am not able to reproduce this, because I have not got MS Office.

Could not reproduce using the original and inserting comment. Please try with version 4.3.x.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away in 4.3.
