Can't edit a note - a line appears

When I try to edit a note in a cell, I hover over the cell and a line appears going off to the right.  When I right-click and go to edit note, the line disappears and I can't edit the existing note. ...

Thanks for the reply but zooming in did not work. When I choose edit note, the line disappears, even when I zoom in.

Is that on specific file or on any one?

    I am having the same problem.  It's like the edit note function isn't working as it should.  If I keep trying, eventually I am able to get into the note to edit it.  It takes multiple tries, going between Show/Hide Note to make it visible, and Edit Note to try to access it to make changes.  I know how to use this function, it just isn't working correctly.

      I can't reproduce that in my environment, Edit Note from the cell right click menu always forwards to the note editing. Independently note is shown or hided.

      That's Excel 365, both on Current and Beta channels.

        I have the same problem on my MacBook Air. Just shows a line. Zooming in has no effect. Why can't Microsoft fix this seemingly widespread problem?
