  • Keywords has-patch 2nd-opinion added; needs-patch removed

@bckelley, Good catch. It's core software bug for comment form.

Default comment form textarea(comment) field is not required field to submit any comments so we needs to remove that attribute from comment textarea field to fix this issue.

Also added 2nd-opinion for core developer feedback.
