it seems that now the comment (edit mode) is visible for other users

Sure, let's clarify the intended behavior. If I understand correctly, you're suggesting that the comment in edit mode should not be visible to other users once the focus is lost. Is that the expected behavior we aim for?

and I also get when opening the same document and trying to comment in two different browsers

17:41:10.008 Uncaught TypeError: this._viewInfo[viewid] is undefined
    getViewName Map.js:872
    insertComment CommentListSection.ts:8
    _insertAnnotationControl Control.NotebookbarBuilder.js:936
    jQuery 2
6 Map.js:872:2

I couldn't replicate the error on my end. Could you please provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue? Additionally, are there specific browsers where this problem occurs?

Also it the user comes back and doesn't press any button and clicks in another part of the document -> it's then impossible to edit the comment

The described behavior does sound unusual. Could you please provide more details on this issue? Also, do you think this behavior is related to the error mentioned earlier?

Any insights you can share will help me in thoroughly understanding and resolving this. Thank you for your assistance @pedropintosilva .

@rparth07 hi, are you still working on this PR? :) It requires rebase as we have conflicts with newer commits.

Would be good to put few sentences into commit message:

• what issue does it fix?
• how to test that it is fixed?

@lpranam could help here as he knows best the comments and autosave

[rparth07]

Thanks @eszkadev @Darshan-upadhyay1110 will do:)

sorry, It was by mistake!

I resolved the merge conflicts and updated the relevant test cases for autosaved comments. However, in the multi-user Cypress tests, three test cases related to reply autosave are currently failing.

Upon further investigation, I found a potential issue (#10429) that may be causing these test failures. I believe that addressing this issue will likely resolve the failing test cases.

Tests are now passing. @rparth07 will you have some time to update this PR and rebase on top of master?
