Trados Studio 2017 - Merged files with comments in editor gives: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Question

To recreate issue: 
 1-Open multiple files in editor 
 2-Insert a comment 
 3-Save 
 4-Get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object. " 
 The work around is to delete the comments but seriously, this is a bug in my opinion. Others have reported the case: https://community.rws.com/product-groups/trados-portfolio/trados-studio/f/studio/28204/cannot-save-multiple-files-in-editor-studio-2017-cu18/90382#90382 
 Any way to save AND keep the comments?

So... one possible solution is to take advantage of the paid service Kelly offered as he has developed a plugin to help resolve this problem. BUT... given you can delete the comments in one click out of the box: 
 
 And you can also export your comments using the Comments View plugin for 2017 on the appstore: 
 
 You might prefer to try the free solutions first.
