            Bug ID: 117815
           Summary: Cell comments saved as .xls don't show when loaded in
                    Excel
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

When adding a cell comment in LibreOffice Calc then saving as .xls file type
for later re-loading into MS Excel - the comments appear on the screen but not
on the print preview. 

Comments saved in .xls from Excel load, display and print correctly in Calc but
not the other way around. 

Given a mix of Calc or Excel contributions to an .xls file, LibreOffice is
capable of displaying any comments on the normal screen and print preview
screen, but and comments Calc generates are displayed on the normal screen in
Excel, but not on the Print preview - nor the final print out. I have checked
the correct settings in Excel to print the comments as seen on the screen,
rather than end of the file.

Some might say this is a fault with MS Excel.. but seeing as Calc is capable of
loading, displaying and re-saving the "excel native" cell comments without
problem, but appears to be unable to generate its own cell comments for
successful print preview display in excel.
