Problem

Inline comments are not working with some 2 or 3 letters words such as: get, in, to, the.... A UI warning appears 

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

To reproduce the behavior: 

  1. Select words with 2 or 3 letters (to, in, and, the) or a set of 2 or 3 letters from a word
  2. Start an inline comment
  3. Type a comment and hit save
  4. Warning appears in the screen and comment is not saved
