Hello,

I am using POI for simple CRUD operations on excel files. Once such
operation is deleting and shifting of rows in a sheet. Unfortunately, both
these operations don't work as expected when a row that I need to
delete/shift has one or more cell comments.

I noticed the following line in this page
https://poi.apache.org/changes.html :
56017 <http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56017> - Fix
shifting comments with shifted rows

Since POI 3.12 beta 2 is not out yet, I used the latest stable SVN
revision 1674025
to download the source code and followed the build instructions to build
the 3.12 beta2 binaries.

I used a simple stand alone program to shift rows with comments in an excel
sheet using POI apis.
When a row has only one cell comment, that row is being properly shifted.
However, when a row has more than one cell with comments, only the first
comment gets properly shifted along with its cell. The other remaining
comments stay in that exact same cell number/row number position with only
the corresponding cell's data being shifted.

Are the POI developers, who took care of this bug in 3.12 beta 2 version,
aware of this issue? If no one is aware of this issue, how do I bring it to
their attention? Meanwhile I am going to investigate into their sources as
to why this is happening.

Thanks,
Balaji
