Issue with "Share" option to Facebook. Please help [View all]

Hi.
I am finding that when I share a DU article to Facebook using the buttons available, the share picks up a comment in the thread of the post and uses that as the header for the Facebook post. Frequently, it is absolutely NOT what I am trying to share.

Any thoughts on the cause and way to fix my problem? Has anyone else noticed the issue or am I the only one who shares DU posts on Facebook?
