--- Comment #3 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
Without steps to reproduce, I don't think we'll be able to solve this issue if
it really is a bug.

However, I completely agree with a confirmation dialog, especially since the
Tabbed interface is used more and more: when using the classic interface and
relying on the menubar, it currently takes 3 clicks (Sheet > Cell comments >
Delete all comments), but with the Tabbed interface, it is right there in the
Review tab, so a lot easier to click without planning to (e.g. trying to switch
to the Data tab, or trying the remove a single comment...).

So I am changing the focus to that enhancement request. (But please let us know
if it turns out to be an actual bug.)

Design/UX team, what's your opinion on:

A. Adding a confirmation dialog for .uno:DeleteAllNotes? Note that Writer does
not have a confirmation dialog either, and it was already suggested for Writer
in bug 127874. Being the same UNO command in both, I guess the two reports
could be merged? (Impress uses .uno:DeleteAllAnnotation - no confirmation
dialog either.)
B. The presence of .uno:DeleteAllNotes in Calc's Review tab? Note that Writer
does not have it in its Review tab -  but it is easier to access via individual
comment's dropdown menus. See also bug 158598 and bug 133539, reviewing the
available Comment options in Calc's tabbed UI.
