13473	comment_status should be set to default_comment_status when commentstatusdiv is removed	jimmcq	westi	"When the Comment Status box is removed from the Add/Edit Post screens, posts should be created with the comment_status set to the value of the default_comment_status option.

-----

I had hidden the Comment Status box via:
remove_meta_box('commentstatusdiv','post','normal');

and made sure that default_comment_status was set to open:
update_option('default_comment_status', 'open');

After adding a new post it displayed ""Comments Off"" when I was assuming that it should have honored the value of default_comment_status."	defect (bug)	reopened	normal	Future Release	Comments		normal		needs-patch	chuck@… solaris.smoke@… linuxologos@…
