      Hi! 

      Thank you for taking the time to file and comment on this ticket. We’ve fixed the reported issues in the LTS bug fix version (9.4.6). Check the release notes here: Issues resolved in 9.4.6.

      A brief summary of the updates:

      1) Sortation issues

      We've fixed the way comments are sorted when a user changes oldest to newest. We've partially reverted back to old Jira 8 behavior where only visible comments are sorted. However, we are keeping the progressive loading behavior that was implemented originally for performance stability improvements. This fix also addresses the change of sort order if a new comment is added. 
      The improved sorting behavior will also be released in 9.8.1.

      2) Add comment button

      We've also fixed the position of the new comment box/add comment button by introducing the sticky comment footer. This fix should make it easier for users to add comments to issues. In the LTS bug fix version (9.4.6), the sticky comment footer is released behind the com.atlassian.jira.commentStickyFooter feature flag. You need to turn the flag on to enable the feature. 
      The sticky footer is also available in 9.8 and later

      Regards,
      Roman | Jira PM

    Description

      Problem Definition

      There are some issues with commenting in tickets in the recent version of Jira. Since update to 9.0.0 newest comments are on top but comment button and new comment edit textbox is still on bottom. This is not convenient if user wants to answer the latest comment and it breaks the user flow.

      Also see: JRASERVER-74191 and https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Issues-with-comments-on-Jira-after-upgrade-to-9-0-0/qaq-p/2069949
      Maybe related to JRASERVER-72612

      Suggested Solution

      The expected behavior would be that the new comment edit textbox appears right next to the newest comment, regardless of sort order.

      Example for "Newest first" sorting
