            Bug ID: 119687
           Summary: UI Writer: Enhancement request - scaling of margin for
                    comments
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: lajo at rn.dk

Description:
Writer has the useful feature of adding comments, which are shown in an extra
margin. However, the size of this margin is fixed. For a text with many and/or
long comments (e.g. a collaborative project with comments from several people),
the comment margin can become quite messy. At the same time, today's wide
screens typically allow plenty of room for a wider comment margin.

It is requested to allow the user to scale the margin for comments. This would
allow the user to change the margin to his or her preference. 
The scaling could be implemented as a moveable marker, in the same way as text
margins can be changed, possibly supplemented with a point under Settings.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Writer.
2. Write som text.
3. Add a comment by Insert -> Comment (or Alt-Ctrl-C)

Actual Results:
Comment is shown in right margin with a fixed width, which apparently cannot be
changed.

Expected Results:
Width of comment margin should be adjustable, e.g. by use of mouse in the ruler
at the top of the screen (just as text margin is adjustable here). 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes
