see bug description: ods-file with many comments to reproduce the bug

I have changed an ods file with many comments. I have saved the file and all comments are present before I close it. When I re-open the file some or all comments are lost.
Example, how bug can be reproduced:
- copy "File altix_Nummern_aktuell_bearb_Lange.ods" (attached, file size 777.799) to e.g. "altix_Nummern_aktuell_bearb_Lange - LO_4.2.ods"
- insert in "File altix_Nummern_aktuell_bearb_Lange - LO_4.2.ods" sheet "Alle" a new line before the line 2516 (*** Ende ***)
- Save the file --> comments are still present
- Close it -> file is smaller (new file size on my system is 644.596))
- Open the fiile again --> Comments are lost
Comment 1 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2014-02-01 17:26:04 UTC
Argh!!! Data loss!

Easier steps to reproduce:
1/ create a new empty spreadsheet with LO 4.2.0
2/ type a in cell A1 (or something else)
3/ extend A1 to C16 (or something else)
4/ in B7 (or elsewhere) do ctrl+alt+C to insert a comment; type something in the comment field
5/ save the document and close it
6/ reopen the file, the comment is still there
7/ save the document under another name and close it
8/ reopen the new (second) file

current behavior: the comment is gone. That can be verified in the Navigator.

Tested with LO 4.2.1.0.0+ under Ubuntu. Please confirm with 4.2.0.4.

Best regards. JBF

Reproduce on LibreOffice 4.2.0.4 Build ID: 05dceb5d363845f2cf968344d7adab8dcfb2ba71 
Ubuntu 12.04.4 x86_64

But,

7/ save the document _in other folders_ under another name and close it
8/ reopen the new (second) file

@Stefan_Lange_KA@T-Online.de  

which O/S do you run? Windows, Linux or Mac?
Comment 6 Joel Madero 2014-02-01 21:39:35 UTC
He was running Windows (as it was marked as Windows (all)) but we've confirmed on Linux as well

Comment 9 Kohei Yoshida 2014-02-02 18:27:17 UTC
The export code currently relies on the SdrObject note caption objects to see if the note is present or not.  In some cases, a note object may not have an associated SdrObject present at the time of export (e.g. when loading a document with cell comment inside and the comment is not displayed).  In such cases, the export code skips the note.
