Adding Inline comments on a text equal to a title in an expand macro does not work on the Legacy Editor

XMLWordPrintable

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      Issue Summary

      In Confluence, with the Legacy editor, if the user highlights a text equal to what is also included as a title for an expand macro, the following message will be displayed:

      We can't add your inline comment; the section you highlighted may contain a macro or user mention. Try highlighting plain text.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a new page and add a text to it (in our example, we will use "example test")
      2. Add an Expand macro and have a title equal to the previously added text ("example test"). Note, note the text on the body of the macro, but, the title/clickable link to expand it.
      3. Publish the page
      4. Highlight the text and tap the pop-up to create an inline text

      Expected Results

      The user should be able to create an Inline text

      Actual Results

      A message is displayed and the inline comment is not added.

      Notes

      This does not happen with the new editor

      Workaround

      • Select different text to be the target of the comment. Adding at least one word that is not in an "expand macro title" will avoid triggering this bug.
      • Adjust the title of the Expand Macro so that it is different from the text being selected for the comment.
