Title: Excel 2003 - comments flash up and then disappear
Post by: thedarkprince on Saturday, April 14, 2012, 09:49:54
As the title says really, whenever I hover over a cell containing a Comment it disappears after a second or two.  It's really getting on my tits.  My guess is it's some stupid setting that's accidentally been amended but have looked in options and can't find anything obvious. 

Anyone have any idea what's causing this and how to fix it?

It may be worth turning the comments off/on again in options

or check you don't have any hidden columns that would mask the comment.

That's one of the links I found, slightly different issue as that guy reports that his comments, and comment indicator, physically disappear from the cell.  I can see the comments are there, they just flash up for only a second.

Turning it off and on didn't work.

Have you tried hiding all comments and then showing comments again (in the view menu)?
