Re: What happened to Highlighted Comments in GoogleDocs?

My committee uses both unconverted & converted docs (mostly MS Word) for commenting. No highlighting appears with comments (now) in either. I just created a GoogleDoc and added a comment as a test. When I went back, the highlighting didn't appear & the comment isn't anchored to anything in the actual text. Very frustrating.

Is this a bug that's being fixed? A browser issue (Mac Firefox, but I've tried with others)? Or an actual change with the transition into Drive? If the latter, we'll have to switch to DropBox and MS Office. Impossible to reliably comment on specific passages with this situation, as in MS Word.

thanks,
David
