The comment indicator is not supposed to be appealing. Almost the contrary, it
is supposed to be _almost_ inadvertent. You should be able to read and work
with Calc without distraction from the indicator, except when you are
interested in reading the comment, or being aware that a comment exists.

It's not that I am against the change because "I don't like how it looks". It
is a matter of practical usage, in accordance with the goals of the comment
indicator. IMO, the change was not a functional improvement (to a non-issue).

FWIW, I wold be "for" bringing the switch of showing comments to the "View"
toolbar(s) (instead of being available in the menu only). In the same
direction, I would be "for" having the option to hide/show the comment
indicator more easily available, instead of having it (just?) within the Option
dialog as it currently is.
