Issue Summary
In Confluence Databases; an inline comment's `inlineMarkerRef` is expected to be embedded in the document so the UI can locate the anchored cell. When a user with View-only permissions adds an inline comment on a Database cell, the comment record is created but no annotation mark is persisted in the document. To editors the comment appears "orphaned" — clicking it in the sidebar does not focus or scroll to any cell. .
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a Confluence Database page as an editor.
- Have a separate user with View-only permission open the same page and add an inline comment on a cell (through right clicking on cell and seeing value contextual menu).
- As the editor, refresh the page and open the comments sidebar.
- Click the view-only user's comment in the sidebar.
- As an editor, add a separate inline comment on a different cell and click that one from the sidebar for comparison.
Expected Results
Inline comments created by any user permitted to comment on a Database (including View-only users) persist their annotation mark into the document, so that:
Clicking the view-only user's comment in the sidebar does not shift focus to any cell.
Workaround
Currently, there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
