Comment character count does not reset when posting the comment

+1

Whenever you are typing a comment on a post, there's a live-updating character count that shows how many of the allowed 500 characters you have used so far.

However, when you post the comment, the indicator doesn't reset.

So if I write a comment "Hello world!", the character count quite correctly indicates that I have used 12 out of 500 characters. When I click Post to actually post the comment, then the comment shows up as such; the comment text field is cleared; but the character count still indicates 12/500.

At a minimum, the character count should be reset when the comment is posted, to match the UI state when one is just starting a new comment.

This is fixed - thanks for pointing it out. Will go live in the next deploy.

It seems to me that the real problem is a new blank edit box appearing after having just posted a comment. This just invites abuse of comments. If you had to click "Add a comment" again, the length would probably start at 0 automatically.
