Writer adds line breaks after comment in doc file

I mostly work with .doc files in LibreOffice Writer V 4.0.4.2 (for reasons of inter-operability - the files have to run on different computers).

When I add a comment, writer adds a line break after the space where the comment is located between saving/closing and reloading the document. This didn’t happen in the 3.x versions, if my memory serves correctly. Is there any way to rectify this so I don’t have to delete the extra lines manually?

Thanks, oweng. I couldn’t find any bug that matched the problem so I filed a new one, fdo#66267, as per your advice.
