Cannot add a comment to a hyperlinked text while in Edit mode

Question

Has anyone else come across this problem?

* Edit a Confluence document
* While in edit mode, highlight a hyperlinked text (note: ONLY text that's hyperlinked)
* Try adding a comment to it

Can you do it?  Because I can't.  The only way I was able to do this was to close or publish my page, highlight it, and add a comment outside of Edit mode.

I came across a need to do this, and trying to go back and forth was a pain!

If I don't get an answer to this, I intend to report it as a bug.

I see a similar behavior which might be more problematic.

1. highlight some text and add a comment

2. try to highlight a subset of that text to add a link.  Confluence won't allow you to add a link.  You have to delete the comment first before you can add the link.

It appears that Confluence is treating the commented text like it's a link, so you can't select a subset of that text to add an actual link.  That's annoying.

Please disregard my answer.  It was operator error.  Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way for me to delete my answer.
