### Steps to reproduce

1. Add a heading
2. Add a comment to the following line
3. Add an internal link via `![[Note]]` to the following line

### Did you follow the [troubleshooting guide](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/about-the-bug-reports-category/24/10)? [Y]

Yes

### Expected result

There shouldn’t be extra space added between the heading and the inserted link. I’d expect comments to have no effect for the reading mode, but in this case, they do:  
if the comment is left out, there is no extra space.  
Expected:
