I wasn't talking about tool-tips.  I was talking about the "COMMENT"
feature (CTRL+ALT+C). I have created a quick (sloppy) scenario here:

Those icons on the toolbars don't give me joy any more.  The "markers"
or arrowheads used by the comment leader (the dashed lines) confuse the
readers.  Its hard to tell which text owns the comment in that phrase.
Sometimes an entire paragraph may need a general comment (in addition to
small comments targeted at small phrases or sentences within the
paragraph).  LibO still doesn't differentiate those very well.

If you have the job of reading student's reports and making comments ...
you'll frown at libO.  Its just confusing and I've introduced LibO into
our repertoire of School software in our Institution
