Some users, mostly when reading an existing document, tend do disable the view of comments with View → Comments. The problem with this option is that comments disappear *completely*, which increase the risk of deleting a note by accident.
I agree this can be a usability problem.
So I think there are two point that can be considered: 1- Set by default the option of viewing note anchors even when "view comments" is disabled.
This makes sense, but then we would have to add an option at least in Tools - Options - Writer - View to hide comment anchors too (and it would have to be active only if "Comments" in unset... not very friendly).
2- Make note anchor show a tooltip with the note content, the same way footnote anchors show footnote content when hover over it, but of course only when "view comment" is disable.
This would work, but the user wouldn't get rid of comments completely. He would still see the anchor and I don't know how annoying this would be.
Definitely a good question for UX! Regards, Andrea.
