How To Resize A Comment Box In LibreOffice Calc

February 8, 2021

I did not expect this to stymie me today.

No matter how much I try to drag, I can’t resize the comment. What?!

Solution

Show the comment. Really. After I show the comment, I can resize it. I can’t resize the comment while I’m editing it, but I can resize the comment while I’m merely looking it.

Annoying. I’m going to forget this. When I’m editing the comment, the icon suggests to me that I will be able to resize the comment box.

As usual, I published this so that I would find it when later I have the same problem.

Reference

OpenOffice forum, https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=63642. It looks like LibreOffice has the same behavior.

Missing Documentation

I have written much about software development, but I'm not doing that here.

Here I'm writing missing documentation: the Help Pages that the projects themselves didn't or couldn't write. Tutorials, overcoming roadblocks, surprising behavior... how I made things work when they didn't behave the way I expected.
