When an comment is created in MS Excel, the author name is automatically prefixed as : '.
Roo was not handling this correctly - in such case, the comments xml node may contain multiple
/text/r/t node instead of only one. The code extracting comments was only extract the first such
node. As a result, the MS Excel generated comment "Mr Author: comment content" was extracted as "Mr
Author:"
, for which is the first /text/r/t node.

Furthermore, the comment in Excel is rich text, which is represented by multiple nodes in xml format.
Therefore, extracting multiple nodes in a comment is always expected.

Summary

Short version: comment with an author "Eli Wang: \ncomment content" was incorrectly extracted
as only "Eli Wang:"
