Description tdillon 2005-03-07 03:24:39 UTC 
The location to display a cell's note/comment seems to be calculated based on
the widths of _all_ of the columns to the left of the cell rather than just the
visible columns.  

If there are hidden columns to the left of the cell containing the comment then
the comment will be displayed too far to the right.  If there are several hidden
columns then the comment may be placed completely offscreen.

Note objects do not update their position if the width of a column or the height
of a row is changed (hiding a column is nothing else than changing its width to
zero). Excel shows the same behaviour, if a note is always visible.
Comment 2 frank 2005-03-24 12:55:38 UTC 
as it works like Excel enhancement for requirements
Comment 3 andreschnabel 2005-09-17 10:58:03 UTC 
as i came across issue 54751, which is related, just a short note:

"as it works like in Excel" is not a good reason to declaring this as an
enhancement, not a defect.

The current behaviour is not very obvious. Notes object's position should rather
be relative to it's anchor's position. As this is not explained in the specs, it
is an enhancement.
Comment 4 ace_dent 2006-01-28 20:01:13 UTC 
There are several related issues (listed below), where the inserted Note is not
displayed in the expected position after some modification to the spreadsheet.

Position of Note is not adjusted when...
- Insufficient room on right-hand side of window (Issue 14286);
- Columns / rows are hidden (ie. size=0) (Issue 44282);
- Split separation inserted for row / column (Issue 56931);
- Row (/Column?) size is changed (Issue 61253).

Regards,
Andrew

Problem still exists.

Just to add to ace dent's list, note positions are also not adjusted when rows
are sorted (Issue 59745).
