Why do the comments section of my friends list keep clearing itself?

Bug, or PBKAC?

    Theres even more bugs beside the disappearing comment one..

    - i've already occasionally seen the comment of someone else on a person we both had in the friend list but i didn't comment on myself, so these comments aren't as private as someone could think, putting confidential stuff there is a bad idea it seems.

    - when hovering over a comment a popup opens with the comment in it. sometimes the comment there gets repeated over and over again and the popup grows until it reaches the bottom of the screen.

    - fleetnames in the friend window are not reliably shown, sometimes its blank although the person is in some fleet.

    Theres surely a couple of bug reports of that by now, i remember i wrote #974,023 about it, a while ago. My guess is that theres something wrong with the fetching function, as unreliable as it is fetching fleet information as unrealiable it is fetching or saving comments, that it shows wrong peoples comments sometimes makes me think that its forgetting to clear/initialize some variable before using and it must be a server side function that has the issues.

    Because the Comments are shared between you and your friend, and it's the friend that's changing it.
