InDesign Review Panel Automatically Filters to 'Resolved' Comments When Editing Text

I am often working on documents with multiple review sessions. The problem that occurs since the latest updates of InDesign is that as soon as I put the cursor in a piece of text which previously had a comment attached to it which is resolved, all resolved comments pop up in the comments panel and I cannot see the current comments: all comments are immediately filtered to 'resolved'. Of course I can switch off the filter for resolved comments again, but it switches back again to 'resolved comments' as soon as I start working on the text. This is driving me nuts, because it is not only annoying, it becomes very difficult to work on the unresolved comments and takes up a lot of time. As a work around I now have to open the online document with the current unresolved comments to track down what actually still needs to be resolved. Please help!

it is not resolved yet, because I did not have the time to read and try the comprehensive list that Eugene suggested. Also, to be honest, it seems quite illogical that this issue has anything to do with InDesign settings, so I am not very motivated to try this time consuming idea. If I am wrong, please explain to me how deleting InDesign settings will influence the way that online review comment filters work.

I don't know what you mean with 'standard fixes'.

Saving the document with a new name will delete the connection with the (old) review comments so that is the opposite of what I want. FYI: I have this issue with all documents that contain multiple review sessions with different comments attached to the same item or text.
