Description fashamak 2012-03-23 02:20:56 UTC
Problem description: Comments added to cells show by default when spreadsheet is opened.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create spreadsheet in MS Excel; add comments in some cells 
2. Edit in Libreoffice 3.3 (this step may be irrelevant)
3. Open in Libreoffice 3.51

Current behavior: Comments added to cells are showing, and are not hidden until 'show comment' is selected for each affected cell. If comments obscure the cells so they cannot be right-clicked there seems to be no solution.

Expected behavior: Comments are hidden by default.

Can confirm that, also in LibreOffice 3.5.2. Needs to be fixed as soon as possible, makes using Calc quite impossible for any nontrivial Excel sheet you get

Please provide an example document as many LO users (including myself) don't have or want to use Excel to confirm bugs. Once you provide the document I'll categorize it and hopefully get it taken care of :) Thanks for reporting

Slightly resembles this:
Bug 45838 - Calc Comments All Over Unlike Excel

This seems to be pretty much the same bug, and has an example

Ooops, that didn't work. Another attempt to link to <a href="https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47904">Bug 47904</a> ...

Ooops, sorry everyone. One last time!

This seems to be pretty much the same bug, and has an example:

Bug 47904 - FILEOPEN MS2007 .xlsx shows comments what should be hidden
