Description Anton Derbenev 2016-02-11 09:40:44 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2648.0 Safari/537.36
Build Identifier: LibreOffice 5.0.4.2

I'm used to inserting and editing comments to Spreadsheet cells by pressing Ctrl+Alt+M. It's similar to Google Docs (though in Google Docs there are also Shift+F2, which resembles inserting Excel-like comments, and Ctrl+Alt+M relates to inline discussion, which isn't exported when saving from Google Docs).

Until some version, that was single action in Customize window:

Insert → Comment

But in 5.0.4 it does not edit existing comments anymore (not sure how long, but it worked in 4.4 IIRC and for sure it works in 4.1).

Also I found obscure action, which actually edits comments, but does not add them:

Edit → .uno:EditAnnotation

(see http://imgur.com/xyqI1fj)

Not sure how to classify it, feature request or regression, but I think it's obvious inserting comments should also edit them, and editing should insert one, if it does not exist. So basically Insert → Comment and Insert → .uno:EditAnnotation should be same action from user perspective.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Assign hotkey to Insert → Comment
2. Add comment (via keyboard, press Esc to end editing, it will be saved)
3. Try to edit it via hotkey assigned in 1
Actual Results:  
nothing happens

Expected Results:  
Comment editing start (comment shown if not hidden and cursor positioned in comment textbox)

Yes it was changed, see bug 84153

You can add a hotkey to Edit comment. It is found under Insert in the keyb. shortcut customization.

so you can make a screenshot, right? And you can insert comments with this shortcut?
Or you didn't read what I wrote and didn't check my screenshot?

okay, label in 5.1 is fixed, still
Comment 5 Anton Derbenev 2016-02-14 08:58:54 UTC
edit/add issue still present though:
Insert→Comment only adds comments, and does nothing if there is a comment for a cell already.
And Insert→Edit Comment only edits existing comment, does not add new if there is none.
Comment 6 Buovjaga 2016-02-16 08:39:48 UTC
Ok, there is no need to remove the editing behavior of insert. Setting to NEW.
