Description

It seems to me that inline comments are attached to a specific line number, instead of a specific line of code. I commented inline on a PR, and the PR was updated in the meantime with insertions/deletions in other parts of the file. Now, my inline comment is 10 lines below the line of code the comment was about. I have a bunch of comments that don't make sense anymore, because they are not in the expected location.

This considerably reduces the usefulness of inline comments.

On a related note, I have an inline comment on a line that was later removed by a PR update. The comment is still there on an unrelated line, making things confusing. The comment was "please remove the slashes here".

Hi,

Do you have enabled the Invalidate and relocate inline comments during update option ?

Oh right, I remember I changed this setting a long time ago. I remember I was not happy with its behavior, but I forgot the reason. I'll enable it again and see how it behaves. You can close this issue, thanks.
