With View ▸ Track Changes mode enabled, and the Insert automatic comment with CriticMarkup setting in preferences disabled, use of the CriticMarkup command to insert comments will be itself marked as an addition:

1. Hit ⌃⌥⌘X to enable Track Changes mode, in a document with some lorem ipsum text.
2. Place the cursor somewhere in the text and use the Format ▸ Insert CriticMarkup Comment menu command.
3. Next select some of the text, and use the Format ▸ Highlight Selection for CriticMarkup command.

The results from both tests:

 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,{++{>> comment <<}++} consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do {==eiusmod tempor incididunt==} ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Expected result:

 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,{>> comment <<} consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do {==eiusmod tempor incididunt==} ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

I included the highlight command for reference, since that one seems to be working fine, with or without the automatic comment setting.

  Inserting a comment can also be used with an existing selection that converts text into a comment, which would require tracking that change.

   

  I added an exemption if the new comment is truly an insertion, not a change of existing text.

   

  Thanks!
