Comments buggy in Calc (tested 5.3.7 and 5.4.4)

I'm having trouble using comments in LO Calc.

I can't copy text out of a comment. When I try to select everything in
it, it would only select parts of it and it's quite difficult to select
the entire comment. I need to try multiple times, sometimes copy parts
and put them together manually. Sometimes I have to delete the comment
and start all over.

This has been the case in the Windows version and in my OpenSuse
installation. Both in 5.3.7 and 5.4.4.

Thanks a lot.

Have you tried using Right-click -> Edit comment? When you do this, the
cursor is placed inside the comment and you can easily navigate in it.
At that point entering CTRL-A will select the entire comment text. I
tend to agree with you that accessing the comment text by clicking in
the comment when the comment is displayed is not really easy but the
Edit Comment access has always worked for me.

This works with 5.4.4 in Win10 and Fedora 26.

I hope this helps.
