Description cforbesaus 2010-09-01 06:14:01 UTC 
I have a large Writer document (c. 450kb) which contains five Comment notes.
When I open the file, (a) the comment notes are not visible (though the wide
grey margin for them is there), and (b) the Navigator reports that there are no
Comments in the file. This is so despite the fact that in the "View" menu,
"Comments" is checked.
If I uncheck and then re-check the "Comments" item in the "View" menu, the
Comments become visible, and the Navigator becomes aware of them. But it seems
to me they ought to be visible at File / Open, since the View menu item says
they are. N.B. I have only tried this in WinXP.
Comment 1 cforbesaus 2010-09-01 06:35:38 UTC 
After some experimenting, I have found that the Comment notes do eventually
appear, and are registered by the Navigator, but it takes some time before this
happens. In the case of my c. 450kb file, the Comments are not accessible for
20-30 seconds after the file is visible on screen. If you open the file and
rapidly page down through it, you can get quite a long way before Comments start
to appear. In other words, their appearance is not brought on by the action of
paging through the document: it just takes time. This probably means the issue
is more a nuisance than a really bad bug; but that's up to you guys!

Thanks for the good sample document. I can confirm the problem with OOo 3.2.1,
the comments will only be visible when doing "Tools.Update.Fields" or inserting
a new comment.
But on my system it seems to be fixed in OOo 3.3 milestone OOO330m6. Could you
please double-check this on your system? Thanks for supporting us!

I have installed 000330m6 and tried out the same file, but with the same result
as with v.3.2.1. At File/Open no Comments were visible, and they were not
detected by the Navigator. In fact it took over a minute before the Navigator
registered their existence. But I didn't have to do anything for the Navigator
to detect them: just wait. Good luck working it out!
Comment 6 michael.ruess 2010-09-02 11:48:47 UTC 
Ah, yes. I was confused by the fact, that it is just slightly better than in
3.2.1...

After opening the attached document, for a long time only the first two comments
were visible in Navigator/Text. Maybe this is related to issue 109351.

I also put OD on cc list - maybe this problem is in Writer core, not in
"Comments" code.
