  • When I add a comment, the character count is displayed below the text box:
  • ![Comment text: Hi, count: 2 chars](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/HCRsZqFZrKEqKGDvcqDapHm8)
  • However, when I edit it, there is no character count visible:
  • ![Comment text: Hi, no count displayed](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/F6CqW43pcJsyzPLVnmqEdkAF)
  • It still seems to check for the character limit(500 chars), but the count is not displayed.

  • Steps to reproduce the behavior:
  • 1. Go to any post.
  • 2. add a comment to it(character count will be shown live).
  • 3. edit the comment.
  • 4. Character count is not seen.
  • **Expected behavior**
  • Character count should be displayed when the user edits a comment.
  • **Tags**
  • easy-priority and good-first-issue, probably.

Edit comment dialog does not have character count
When I add a comment, the character count is displayed below the text box:

![Comment text: Hi, count: 2 chars](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/HCRsZqFZrKEqKGDvcqDapHm8)

However, when I edit it, there is no character count visible:

![Comment text: Hi, no count displayed](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/F6CqW43pcJsyzPLVnmqEdkAF)

It still seems to check for the character limit(500 chars), but the count is not displayed.
