      Issue Summary

      If any user adds an inline comment to a Confluence page while another user is editing it, a new version will be created in the page history.

      This is reproducible on Data Center: (yes)

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create two users: user1 and user2.
      2. Use user1 to enter the edit mode on any page.
      3. While user1 is in the edit mode, use user2 to add the inline comment in the view/display mode on the same page.
      4. Navigate to the page history, there is another page version created. The Changed By column shows user1 and user2 changed the page.

      Expected Results

      1. The steps above shouldn't add a new version history. 
      2. While user2 doesn't have the edit permission to the page. The page history shouldn't mention the page is changed by user2

      Actual Results

      The behavior of adding inline comment should aligned no matter whether there is another user edit the same page or not. 

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
