Comparing documents that differ only in comments loses comment ranges

When comparing the two attached documents in version 21.10, the comments present in right.docx lose their comment ranges, that is, they become “zero-width” comments at the end of the range they used to span.

We have logged this problem in our issue tracking system as WORDSNET-22960. You will be notified via this forum thread once this issue is resolved.

We apologize for your inconvenience.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-22960) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for .NET 21.12 update also available on NuGet.

That’s great news, however, I use the Java version. Are there plans to port it?

@icsk The next version of Aspose.Words for Java with this fix will be released in a week or so.

@icsk Aspose.Words for Java 21.12 is already available.

Got it. I had misunderstood the section on the .NET release notes that refers to Java. I see that there are release notes for Java at Aspose.Words for Java 21.12 Release Notes that mention this issue. Thank you!

@icsk Please feel free to ask in case of any issues. We will be glad to help you.
