Comment (by afercia):

 The refreshed patch strips out changes to the Comments "bubble". It was
 correctly pointed out that icon links need a way to clarify what they
 represent. The title attribute is a problematic technique for that and
 probably there's the need to find a new, modern, method to disclose this
 kind of information to users. By the way, this issue is related to all
 icon links used in the admin so it should probably go in a separate
 ticket.

 About the "Attach" modal dialog, thinking there's no need to inform users
 the link is going to open a modal but the modal itself should be
 accessible. Will open a specific ticket for this.
