Sorry that happened to you. I understand it wasn't all the comments in all the sheets? Note that there is a command to remove all comments: Sheet > Cell Comments > Delete all comments. That action does not currently ask to confirm, please see bug 160219. Unfortunately, without more precise steps to reproduce the issue (format used, commands used), and possibly a sample document attached here, we won't be able to investigate. Furthermore, version 6.4 is not maintained anymore, so please update to a currently maintained version, preferably 24.2. Please let us know if you still experience the issue, and if that's the case, provide more details. Thank you!
I cannot provide a document, because it contains private data. This libreoffice version runs on ubuntu 20.04 LTS. :-( I found a backup copy from january which contains the comments of the recent years. Nevertheless there is plenty of work to recover the data for this year. I guess several weeks of work. The cells, who loose the comments are random, full last column is lost, and several rows are complete / partially lost, whithout any rule. I'm a c/c++/java developer ... and I will not imagine, what happend to my data.
What file format do you use to save?
