Updating comment moves the focus away from the comment

Question

Adding comments and updating them have become very difficult.

Updating a comment
Goto a comment where there many comments already available in the ticket.
to update a comment, On clicking edit icon, the focus moves away and it becomes confusing to see which comment is being updated especially when we have large number of screenshots etc,.

This was not there earlier and it would be good to fix this as its so annoying and leads to mistakes

Hi @Prashant Rajan ,

Which browser are you using? Have you tried using different browsers (or incognito mode) to see if the same problem exists there?

I did try to use edit button (pencil icon), and the comment editor opens at the same place where the view comment was. There's no auto-scrolling, focus shift, or anything like that. 👀

Also, are other users/colleagues experiencing the same thing?

Note that I did test this out on work items with around 10 comments. Are you seeing this behavior on items with a large number of comments or on all work items?

Cheers,
Tobi
