Notes and screenshots

[PxlBuzzard]

The particular comment you linked to seems to be handled gracefully now (screenshot below). I can't replicate it elsewhere. My guess, based on your linked comment, is that Hacker News itself had a bug when replying to a comment marked as [dupe].

The OP original URL also exhibits this behaviour.

I am seeing the same issue as @inverse. Happens on every page and every comment. Replying is completely broken.
