Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 90999
All comment text is lost
Last modified: 2008-06-24 17:06:27 UTC
The 2.0 beta Writer is throwing away the contents of comments. I open a file.doc file in which someone has added a comment near the beginning of the document, then save immediately as file.odt. Exit, then read file.odt with OOo3b or OOo2.4.1: they all show that there's a comment there, but they all show it as blank. What the person actually commented is gone. Saving that file.odt as file2.doc then reading it with Word 2003 also shows the comment as blank.
thanks for reporting your bugs, but please search old ones first before creating new issues *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 88144 ***
closing dup
Sorry -- I did try a search first (for issues reported on 3.0 beta with either "notes" or "comments" in the summary) but didn't find anything. The dup bug's summary is not very clear, "[notes2]open word document and directly save to odt", and I guess "notes2" didn't match "notes".
