Hello, team,

Current Problem:
Currently, the visual difference between a regular comment and a highlighted (selected) comment is too subtle. The background color change is not distinct enough, which makes it difficult to quickly identify which comment is being referenced or focused on, especially when navigating via direct links.

Proposed Solution:
I suggest increasing the contrast of the background highlight for selected comments. Alternatively, add a secondary visual indicator (e.g., a colored side border or a more pronounced shadow) to clearly distinguish the active comment from the rest of the thread.

Hi @Mikhail I found CONFCLOUD-65111 on Atlassian's Jira Site.  That looks like part of your issue.  If you'd like, I would suggest creating a new suggestion with Atlassian on their Jira site with your suggestion.  Then it can be reviewed by Atlassian.  Please post the number here and people can vote on it and watch it for updates.

I found a different suggestion that were closed due to their lack of interest: CONFCLOUD-40718
