Unfortunately, I haven't been following development much lately. I see that we have a packet comment feature now. Is there a way to remove a comment entirely? I envision the clear button in the "Edit or Add Packet Comments" could do this instead of just clearing the text buffer, but I see that functionality would probably have to go down into the new packet list code and further into the frame data's opt_comment variable.
If you press the clear button and then save the file and reload the saved file I think the comment should be gone.
I'd been thinking about this some too; one of the first few things I wanted to do 
in playing with it was to Delete the comment (from the file, from the packet).

a workaround (even if it really deletes the comment from the file).

I just didn't (and probably won't soon) have time to do anything about it.

Fixed in revision 41895.

What I was (as a user) looking for was a "Delete comment" option somewhere in the UI. Clearing the comment causing the comment to be deleted works, but will users expect it? (Or should they learn to expect it?)
