            Bug ID: 113709
           Summary: Difficult to edit cell comment with keyboard in Calc
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.2.7.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: john at curioussymbols.com

Description:
In Calc, it is easy to create a cell comment (ctrl-alt-C).
However it seems unintuitive that the same keyboard command cannot also be used
to edit an existing comment. Also, the menu entry (Insert->Comment) is greyed
out, so it is difficult to discover the way to do this.

I suggest that instead of greying out the Insert->Comment entry in the menu, it
be used to edit an existing comment in the case that there is one, and then the
existing keyboard command can stay in place there.

I do realise that there are entries for comment editing also in Sheet->Cell
Comment->Edit/Hide/Show/Delete.

After pressing ctrl-alt-C and having not luck, the next place I looked was the
Edit menu. If Insert is in the Insert menu, then why isn't Edit in the Edit
menu?


Steps to Reproduce:
Press ctrl-alt-C to edit a cell comment after one has been added on the
selected cell.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:
Instead, the existing comment should be opened for editing. That would be the
intuitive/expected behaviour here.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
