There are three styles associated with comments. Are you sure you edited the
right one?
Comment Reference
Comment Subject
Comment Style
Select the comment text in question and see what the toolbar style display
says is the style. With it selected you can edit it using format style.

I added some Comments to my document and formatted the Style "Comment
Text" to font size 8. The rest of my document uses size 10.
However, when I visually inspect my document, it looks like there is
no difference in my Comment Text size and my document text size, i.e.
they both look Size 10. Can anybody provide an explanation for this?
