Comment placement is complicated

[fessera]

Is this a hackmd.io issue?

• [x ] Yes, the bug happens on https://hackmd.io
• No. If it's a self-hosted CodiMD instance, please fire up the issue in the repo of CodiMD: https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd

What's the problem

Current behaviour

Provide steps to reproduce:

1. Comment on a text section
2. Modify (add or delete) text upstream
3. Try to find out which text section the comment originally referred to

Expected behaviour

The comment should stick to the marked word(s) or the context of the marked words, if they are deleted. Otherwise it is very difficult for collaborators to figure out after modifications, to which text section the comment originally belongs.

Environment

I use HackMD on:

Desktop

• OS: Windows 10
• Browser:firefox
• Browser Version: 128.12.0esr
