Whenever I'm logged as as admin (under either of 2 admin accounts) I'm unable to reply to or leave new comments.
When I fill out the comment form and click save, the content in the comment box gets cleared and I get the error message: "Comment field is required."
No problem leaving a comment as an anonymous user.
No error messages in the log, even with 'debug messages' enabled.
Doesn't matter which format I use to enter the message text.
Permissions look fine.
Happens across all content types and various layouts.
Happens whether entered on content page or through a views page of the content.
It used to work - hoping someone might recommend other settings / configurations I should check to solve this. I also verified via a fresh Sandbox install that it isn't an issue with the most recent core update.

The problem seems to be CKEditor. Finally got it to work by switching the text entry box from Ckeditor to TinyMCE.
Ckeditor is the default for my site though, and good as TinyMCE looks, I was not planning to use it because of the amount of legacy content on the site.
This is my list of allowed html tags for ckeditor, if I'm missing one that these could keep me from entering plain text into the comment box. (Never had a problem before.)
Could it be the taxonomy link automatically generated for me because I'm logged in when answering a comment? (That's never been a problem either.)
CKEDITOR Allowed HTML tags:
<a> <em> <strong> <cite> <blockquote> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <h1><h2><h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <p> <img> <figure> <figcaption> <hr> <div class> <pre> <span> <style> <span style> <del> <u> <h1> <h2> <h3> <hr> <h5> <h6> <pre> <sup> <sub> <br> <details> <summary> <div> <table> <caption> <tr> <th> <td> <s><text-indent>
TinyMCE Allowed HTML tags:
Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <strong> <cite> <blockquote> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <h3> <h4> <h5> <p> <img> <figure> <figcaption> <div> <div class> <br> <h2> <pre> <span> <hr> <details> <summary> <table> <caption> <tr> <th> <td> <s> <sub> <sup> <u>
Still haven't figured this out, but seems, but I can't leave or edit comments when logged in as administrator.
I re-edited and cleaned up the allowed html tags filter, rebuilt permissions, reordered filters - all to no avail.
Comments work when logged out. When logged in, even a one-word comment results in the comment being erased when I click save and I get this error message:
Only solution I've found is to enable TINYMCE which works with no issue at all when I'm logged in.
