Issue 856: Review comments in deleted files disappear
Status:  Released
Owner: ----
Closed:  Sep 2012
Reported by karsten....@gmail.com, Feb 24, 2011
Affected Version: 2.1.6.1

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Push a change with deleted files
2. Open the deleted file in unified diff view
3. Leave a comment

The comment is created fine and also the file overview shows there is a comment for the file. But when you go back to diff view (side-by-side or unified), the comment is not shown (neither the commenter nor anyone else).

Either show the comment or disable the option to actually leave a comment. Probably the latter is intended, since it doesn't work in side-by-side view.

If you can't leave a comment in side-by-side but you can for unified, that's likely a bug and we should fix it.

I can leave comments both in unified and side-by-side.
They doesn't show up when leaving and reentering the view though.
