How do comment @replies work?

I fully expected to find this question already asked after typing it in, so if there is a duplicate somewhere please direct me to it...

I can't seem to tag some people in comments. I would have said that it was only people with spaces in their name, but I was actually able to tag someone with a space in their name just a minute ago.

  • Not only can you only notify one person per comment, the @name will be automatically removed if you're trying to notify the only other person in the conversation.

  • Thanks, I'll have to pay attention to when it happens in the future to see if it's because of one of those rules.

  • shouldn't we be able to tag the OP author of a given question or answer on which we're commenting? I type it manually, but after I save, the tag is removed >:0
