      Summary

      Comment button appears for users without add comment permission on Board's issue detail view

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Modify a permission scheme in a Jira Software project so that a user does not have the 'add comment' permission for that project. In my example I took a Jira Software user that was not a project admin and not a system admin, but did have a Developer project role. Then I only granted 'add comment' permission to the project admin role.
      2. Visit a scrum/kanban board that contains that issue
      3. Left click on that issue in the board, this brings up the issue detail view of that issue in the right panel
      4. Scroll down on this page to look between "Description" and "Attachment" sections.

      Expected Results

      There should be no indication to this user that they might be able to leave a comment

      Actual Results

      Notice that for this user there exists an "Add Comment" button on that issue

      Notes

      1. When visiting the issue directly in Jira, there is not option to leave a comment. Checking the permission helper for this issue also indicates this user does not have permissions to comment.
      2. In my case, when trying to leave a comment via this method, I received an error message of "Communication Breakdown".
      3. There does not appear to be any entry in the atlassian-jira.log file that is generated when this error happens.
