Bug report - scroll bars for comments

When a comment is added to a text at the bottom of a page, and then people are replying to this comment (let says we have 10 replies to this comment), the comment appear collapsed. This is correct.

Now when we expand the comments, there is a bug where the vertical scroll bar does not change so we cannot read all the comments (only the top 2 or 3 comments will be shown, the others are hidden by the bottom of the page, and the scroll bar do not expand to be able to reach them).

The only workaround I have found is to copy the link of the last comment and open a new brower tab with this link to be able to read all the comments.

It would be better to add a scroll bar to expanded comments to be able to read them in any case.

 

EDIT - Example of a list of comments at the botom of a page, the scroll bar is at the end of the page but more comments cannot be shown...

Hi @Arnaud Quirin welcome to the community.  This sounds like a good request that should be included in Confluence.  If you would like to submit a bug or make a suggestion, I would steer you to Atlassian's Jira Site.

I took a quick look out there and couldn't see something similar to this issue.  Feel free to take a look out there, and if you don't see this particular issue, you can create it for consideration.  Then you may want to post the number here, so people like myself can go out and vote for it.

Hope that helps.

Thank you Dan for your reply!

It might be I do not have the right to create an issue: when I click the "create" button, I can see a "report a new bug" button but this one is redirecting me to the support web page (which points to the community or general help pages)...

+1 to this issue. The scroll bar doesn't appear on long comment threads that go longer than the vertical size of the browser window. The workaround described above isn't solving it either. Unlike the above though, the scroll bar isn't appearing at all.
