Bug ID: 156331
Summary: Resolved comments should not be visible by default
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

Sample DOCX file with a comment marked as "resolved"
When DOCX files with resolved comments are opened, such comments should not be
visible by default, since in MS Word they're hidden from the user. So when a MS
Word user sends a document with resolved comments to someone else, they'll
expect these comments to not be shown by default.
This is a relevant feature for those working collaboratively in the same
document file. The problem I'm having is this:
1) A student creates a DOCX files (using MS Word) with their essay/paper and
send this file to me.
2) I add a lot of comments to the text (using LO Writer) and send the document
back to the student.
3) The student makes changes to the document (using MS Word) and marks the
comments as resolved. The comments are no longer shown in MS Word, but they
still exist in the document. Then the student sends the corrected file to me.
4) When I open the file in LO writer, all comments are visible to me, even
though they are resolved.
IMO this is an inconsistency, since the end result should be the same in both
applications: resolved comments shouldn't be visible by default.
I attached a sample file created in MS Word. It has 3 comments and the second
comment is marked as resolved. If you open this file in MS Word, the second
comment won't be visible, whereas in Writer all three comments will be visible.
The expected behavior would be to have the second comment hidden in LO Writer
as in MS Word.
