In the latest release (3.3.0.4), when opening, editing, and saving a
document in .doc format, the comments are not preserved. That is, upon
reopening a saved document, the comments are no longer present. I have
tested this using the .odt format, and all works correctly. I have not
tested other document formats.

I can confirm this behavior (docx only) for release 3.3.2 on Linux x86

Steps to reproduce:
1. Menubar: File->New->Text Document
2. Add some arbitrary short text to the document
3. Menubar: Insert->Comment
4. Add some text to the comment field
5. Menubar: File->Save As
6. Choose a file name and any of the two ".docx" file types for saving.
7. Close the document
8. Re-open the .docx document
9. Observe the missing comment.

@Richard and Lubos: I suggest to choose a more fitting description for
the bug like:
"DOCX: Document's comments are lost after document is saved in .docx

As reporter or owner of the bug, would you please consider changing the
description?
Thanks.

It does indeed seem that the data is discarded on export; hmm.

DocxAttributeOutput::PostitField(...)
needs an implementation, worse since you don't output the comment but a
reference to the comment you need to cache those comments ( per
document/paragraph ? ) and then dump the comment meta-data into a
comments.xml file in the docx zip.

Has anyone experimented to see if comments created in Word, and re-saved
in Writer are also lost? Sorry, I don't have Windows or Word and so
cannot perform the experiment.

Is the region vs point a difference in Word and OO implementation, or
what OOXML and ODF support?
If former, seems like another bug should be filed against OO re region
comment support, if latter, against ODF.
(I did a few quick web searches and did not find any helpful leads to
answer my question above; "comment" is not really a helpful term. :-(.)

Confirming that this bug still exists in LibreOffice 3.4.2
OOO340m1 (Build:203) on Fedora 15.
Is there a patch for 3.4.2 or do we need to wait for 3.5? If the latter,
As others have stated, this is a critical DATA LOSS bug and makes
LibreOffice unsuitable for a production environment in it's current
state.
