If I 'inspect' the code, I can see a <p>around the sentence above</p>..like so. So that <p> tag is causing the space below...I think 🤔

I did as suggested, but still the gap persists. As I said previously, it appears that a <p> tag is inserted around the text before the inline editor, causing the gap.

Could you please provide us a screenshot of the shortcode section in text mode?
Please make sure there is no additional HTML code in the shortcode.

I can't see any html in 'text' mode. I dowloaded a plugin ...
but even with this installed, I cannot see any html?

Hi @alex,
There is no solution for this. The text which is selected for feedback is being wrapped in a <div> so other parts are separated and inserted in <p> paragraphs. This is designed to use a whole paragraph, which can be line-breaked. So, just don't use a few words in a sentence. You should use a text part which can be introduced as a separate paragraph. You can see the same in our demo page: https://wpdiscuz.com/demo/

I'm not sure that's quite correct.... if I understand well? I've now found that as long as you select a part of text which has some kind of punctuation at the end (comma, full stop, semi colan etc.), it works fine....no gap/line break etc. As you can see here> https://www.alexenglish.cz/tpr-storytelling/
I'm super stoked about this feature, and that I can now use it for helping my students!
Thanks for support and super quick feedback 😉
Maybe, but I think this works because there is no paragraph in your current text. The main issue is in the paragraphs. Press F12 to see the page HTML code:
Perhaps the punctuation stops WordPress to automatically add <p> paragraphs. Because the <p> paragraphs always put following texts in the next line. They don't allow other tags and <div> to be displayed on the same line.

That's it exactly!
When I selected just a few words, <p> tags were added. When I selected a complete sentence, or part of a sentence with punctuation, none were added.

My apologies, but after further trial and error testing, it appears that it works flawlessly even if I highlight one word!? Please see> https://www.alexenglish.cz/tpr-storytelling/
I have no idea why it now renders perfectly, but I'm happy to consider this query closed. Maybe someone has an answer, but it's beyond me 🤔

It's a bit inconsistent now! 🤨
Please follow to my instruction above and only use this inline comments for new paragraphs, don't use it for one or two words in some paragraph.

@tomson OK. Shame 🙁 It would be real handy if wpdiscuz could be anabled somehow to select any part of the text 😉
But I appreciate it is still an awesome addition to any commenting system!
