Re: [libreoffice-users] Select/copy content of a comment

I don't get an "edit cell" option. But double left click on the opened 
comment turns out to get me past the drag handles to edit mode.
Don't know why I didn't try the double clicking earlier. That's what 
works in Draw. Somehow it didn't occur to me.

A mind is a terrible thing to lose.

THanks.
