Issue Summary

Cannot add inline comments to similar words that exist inside a macro body, which could also be hidden. For example, in a page, a macro body contains the text "This is inside a macro" and the text "I am not inside" lives outside the macro.

Adding an inline comment to the word "inside" results in this error

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

This bug might be affecting other macros as well. Please, add to this list upon confirmation:
