That won't solve the "finding comments" problem; that will merely cause
Orca to say "object replacement character" when you arrow to it instead
of saying nothing. Mind you, I fully agree that saying nothing is bad.
So.... Orca master will now say that string instead of nothing in cases
where the application fails to fully implement support for
replaced/embedded objects. In addition, I filed two bugs against
LibreOffice:

1. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77679
   "Accessibility support for replaced objects is incomplete"

2. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77682
   "LibreOffice comments should have ATK_ROLE_COMMENT"

Thanks for the report!
