Description
Some users use themes or plugins which put button form elements before the textarea element in the comment form. The comment-reply.js assumes that there are no button elements. I added a check if the element type is "button". In that case the selection is skipped which results in the correct behaviour: the focus is set on the textarea element. Not on buttons like "bold", "italic" and so on.
I included a minified version of the comment-reply.js file. I did not know if this was necessary.

Hi @MarcDK, I apologize for how long it took to get a response to this ticket.
I believe this was done by design in #29974. This is because for accessibility reasons, we always want to move the focus to the first form element, regardless of type. It allows users to then progress ahead as needed, but not have missed anything that could be important.
Based off the discussion and decisions made in the previous ticket, I'm going to close this as
wontfix.
