I'm attempting to toggle comments using Selenium, but it seems unable to locate the toggle button. I've attempted to locate every SVG element to confirm the presence of the '-' button, but it only seems to find the '+' buttons. Additionally, I've tried to capture screenshots of every button or print out the aria-controls selector to find 'comment-children', but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas on how to locate the toggle comment button (-)?
