O.K. put those two things into one issue, but should be doable. Will split if required.

At the moment the comment preview displays the orgininal post below the comment and comment form:

The other think is the comment text area is way too big. To illustrate this, look at the length of the green and blue line here:

Darn it, one still cannot edit issues. So the images on their own here:

Here for the size of the comment box:

Have to agree with the comment box size as a usability issue. For almost all applications of comments, the default is just way too large, and setting the default size is too deeply embedded in themeing for relatively inexperienced users. The result is that the comment facility is not usable "out of the box".

I agree its somewhat confusing, but its not really a bug.
