When I try to close the page on which I’ve submitted comments, the browser (desktop Firefox v97.0.1) sometimes displays the standard warning “please confirm that you’re exiting the page; your changes may not be saved”. After exiting and reloading the page, it appears that everything was indeed saved.
Inline commenting is supposed to be usable via the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M, but this doesn’t work for me. Maybe the shortcut is not implemented correctly; maybe it’s a language problem (I use a German keyboard); maybe it’s a problem with one of my gazillion Firefox addons...
Apparently you get notifications if someone responds to your comments, but the notification text is wrong. I made a typo suggestion, Ruby replied, and then the notification said: “Ruby commented on your draft [Beta Feature] Google-Docs-like editing for LessWrong posts”, even though it’s neither a draft nor my post.
At the very top of the document, next to “Share draft with users”, are a bunch of names (like jimrandomh) with “X” buttons next to them. In commenting mode, I can ostensibly remove all these users by clicking their “X” buttons, but they reappear when I reload the page.
Other related things:
In commenting mode, I can change the text of Ruby’s moderation guidelines, though these changes aren’t saved.
I see the “Get Feedback”, “Move to drafts”, and “publish changes” buttons. Pressing any of them displays the errors “app.operation_not_allowed” and “Error submitting form: Post.update”, though the “get feedback” button does load Intercom with the default “Hey MondSemmel, I’m glad you’re interested in getting feedback on your post.” text.
I can’t use the “track changes” button (it’s grayed out), but I can load the post’s Version History, though I somehow only see versions 1.5.1 or newer. (Note: It’s probably desirable to make specific past versions inaccessible or invisible, e.g. if you by accident briefly published a version with private information.)
The notifications for getting a reply on your inline comment link to the entire post, not the specific inline comment, so it’s currently difficult to find which comment was replied to.
The shortcuts with Ctrl + Alt generally work sub-optimally for EU keyboards, I believe. Seems worth it to test alternative keyboard layouts for usability—something that most major software companies in the U.S. do not seem to do well ;-)
Feedback on the editor commenting feature:
Love it.

Very helpful, thank you!
