            Bug ID: 140927
           Summary: Bookmarks vanish when file closed/reopened in Writer
                    (around comments)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: davelovelace at gmail.com

Description:
I use bookmarks a lot.  I also use comments a lot.  I have found, absolutely
consistently, that if I have a comment created by highlighting text (at least,
at the beginning of a line) and opening a comment, and then bookmark that line,
the bookmark is there.  If I thereafter close and reopen Writer, the bookmark
has disappeared.  This is a major irritation, as it means I have to separate my
bookmarks from the actual point being bookmarked.

(For the record, it's also a real pain in the neck that there's no indicator
showing that a bookmark is present.  You have to open the bookmarks list and
hunt.  When there are hundreds of bookmarks present, this isn't really
acceptable.  I've seen that I'm not the only one complaining about this point.)



I originally found this to happen on both Linux and Windows 10.  I no longer
have a Linux machine available.  So I'm leaving Hardware and Operating System
showing "All", though I haven't actually tested more than the one Linux system
and three or four different Windows (32- and 64-bit) systems.  At this point I
have no idea what the earliest version where I detected this was; but it was
before July of 2018.


(I posted a report on this almost three years ago, but I guess I put it in the
forum instead of here.  I got one suggestion that I save in native .odt, which
I already was, and one snooty unhelpful comment.  That was eventually closed
for some reason, but apparently no one ever looked at it.)


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open LO Writer.
2.Enter several lines of text.
3.Insert a bookmark at the beginning of one line.
4.In a DIFFERENT line, select the first few words of text.  Insert a comment
(and type some text in it so the comment stays).
5.Place cursor at beginning of line and insert another bookmark.  Close the
bookmark dialog.
6.Verify that both bookmarks are present.
7.Save and exit the document.  (I don't THINK having other Writer docs open
matters, but it's possible.  When I've actually tested this, I've always done
it without other LO windows open at all.)
8.Reopen the document (in Writer).
9.Verify that bookmark on line with comment has vanished.  (Other bookmark is
still present.)


Actual Results:
Bookmark on line with comment vanishes when document is closed and reopened.

Expected Results:
Bookmarks should not vanish when document is closed and reopened.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:

I am not bothering to reset my profile.  This bug has manifested perfectly
consistently on several different computers and versions of LO (on both Linux
and Windows) over several years.  It's not a corrupted profile.

And I do not know whether OpenGL is enabled.  I looked without finding it under
Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice ▸ View .
