--- Comment #4 from Gerry <gerry.trep...@googlemail.com> --- Having worked with many long documents, books, reports with many comments by different reviewers, I do not see a big issue with the current state that anyone can edit existing comments. I have not seen any misuse of the current feature. However, if you consider it problematic that others can change a comment without any remark that the comment was newly edited, I suggest the following: -> Add a remark that the comment was edited by user xyz I would totally oppose to block editing a comment by some other user. This would break many workflows that people are using. For example, if I am writing a book with co-authors and reviewers, then I would like to add info to the comment e.g. formulating the rough idea of the comment or just to add who is going to work on the comment (without replying to it) or to delete info that has already been completed or that I don't agree with (without deleting the comment entirely or re-creating a new one). Also, the idea to track changes in a comment, seems to be overly clunky, as it makes the comments very long with all the changes. Also, the changed stuff in the comments would appear in the "Manage changes" list, which should not be the case. Concluding: I like the idea to add the info to a comment that "user xy changed comment on Jul 25 18:00)", but I think more is not necessary. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
