            {
                comments.Add(comment);
                continue;
            }
        }
    }
    return comments;
}

If you comment on a picture, comment.Shape is null; comment.Position is always 0,0.

The official website’s example also cannot output right Position.

// Instantiates the Presentation class
using (Presentation presentation = new Presentation("Comments1.pptx"))
{
	// Iterate CommentAuthors
    foreach (var commentAuthor in presentation.CommentAuthors)
    {
        var author = (CommentAuthor) commentAuthor;
		// Iterate Comments
        foreach (var comment1 in author.Comments)
        {
            var comment = (Comment) comment1;
            Console.WriteLine("ISlide :" + comment.Slide.SlideNumber + " has comment: " + comment.Text + " with Author: " + comment.Author.Name + " posted on Position :" + comment.Position + "\n");
        }
    }
}
