Comment:

 First patch attached. This is a workaround for the bogus behavior in the
 backend using the same function-set that the standard comment editor is
 using. It uses it for both: display and quickedit.

 This is a workaround only. Frontend is not touched. Frontend would at
 least need another default filter for ''comment_text''. If that is
 patched, then the first patch must be looked into again because it still
 uses comment_text() to display the comment in function
 ''_wp_comment_row()'' in ''wp-admin/includes/template.php'' .
