Editing an existing note in Excel

I have created a note in some of the cells within a worksheet in excel. I now want to go back and modify the existing text within the note attached to the cell. I was able to do this in earlier versions of office. We have now upgraded to Office 365 running on Windows 10 and I can no longer modify the text in the note!

The only way I have been able to do it is to copy the existing text, delete the note, the add a new note then paste the copied text then modify it.

Can anyone help? Must be an option or something somewhere I can click to resolve.

    What do you see when you right click in the cell with the comment?   Can you post a screenshot

      I can get into the text within the "Note" but cannot edit the original text that is in there! I can add to the bottom no problems. But I want to modify the original text that was added previously.
