Comment(by hakre):

 function ''get_comment_to_edit()'' in ''wp-admin/includes/comment.php''
 does the needed magic. so this bug is two faced:

 we have a working function-set that was intended for editing but
 displaying is buggy as well.

 a first patch is to offer the correct editing. but this is only a
 workaround and not a fix.

 to fix this bug someone who is responsible for the blogs output system
 must take care of. imho it is defect by design.
