--- Comment #13 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
Thanks for all your input.
I think I'm with Jeff on this, mainly because of the following quotes:

So consider me a +1.

Heiko has replied now, but in case others have an on changing a long-standing
behaviour, adding keywords.

I confirm that it's the same in OOo Calc 3.3.

However, looking at consistency across components, note that current trunk's
Impress _does_ allow right-clicking the numbered comment indicator without
needing to first show the comment. It does not open the context menu for the
page or whatever object is behind.
