 I'm watching this since some time, so it is not (only) related to the
 current version 4.4.x; but I cannot tell when and with which version I saw
 the problem the first time.

 Sometimes (not very often) a comment appears under a different article it
 was written for. It appeared to comments made directly to the article, but
 also to comments which were written as answers to other comments.

 I have seen that several times, but these were always comments written by
 visitors. So I could never be sure whether the commentor had made a
 mistake or it was a bug in WordPress.

 Today it happened to one of my own comments. I answered to a certain
 user's comment under my latest article, and it appeared as an answer to
 another comment written by the same user under a different article
 (written around two weeks earlier than my currently latest).

 Because it was my own I then made a local copy and delete the wrong placed
 comment. Then I replied again and this time it was placed under the
 correct article.

 Reproducing seems difficult, and I don't get so many comments that I could
 extract a pattern. Not earlier than January I might find the time to play
 around with a local test installation, but I cannot make a promise on
 this.
