Comment (by oglekler):

 At first glance, it doesn't look right, this number of approved (X) where
 nothing to be seen. And if something doesn't look right it feels like a
 bug.

 Comments will be removed with the post if it will be removed permanently
 and it isn't obvious either. So, if the post is in the trash, related
 comments are in fact it trash also and supposed to be seen there.

 If the post is going to remove permanently it needs to be obvious that
 related comments will be removed too otherwise user can suspect that they
 will be left somewhere in the database like useless items.

 I have a case where I had a need to keep comments: with products where I
 had similar products in-store with different colors, for, example, I made
 comments from all similar products to show up for these products and we
 were keeping and showing the comments even hiding some of the products
 from catalog (we tried not to remove anything permanently of course but
 some times you need to remove products because you made duplicates
 accidentally etc) Sometimes comments are a valuable asset for customers
 and SEO.
