In the built in help-page, and in the wiki page on the comment editor (https://sourceforge.net/p/scid/wiki/TheCommentEditor/) it says

Hint: To add a comment before the first move in a variation, go to the first move and hit the left arrow key once and then insert the comment.

but that is not how the program behaves.

Doing exactly that, gets you out of the variation and into the mainline, and puts the comment there.

The bug has been there for a long time. It does this in version 5.2.202603 on Windows, but also in version 5.0.0 on Windows, and in version 4.7.1 that I have installed on an old Macbook.
