I can't figure out how to reproduce this in modern Phabricator. I suspect the original bug was related to inbound email processing of mail with extra whitespace in the mail body, but the transaction pathway has generally become more unified since this was originally reported and mail/web/API go through most of the same code now.

I tried piping in a bunch of different spaces and newlines to a task via email but couldn't find any way to generate a phantom comment.

If this is still happening, a more recent example would be helpful in demonstrating that this hasn't already been fixed, and ideally a copy of the actual email that a user sent in order to generate the transaction set including the empty/invisible comment.

(See also https://secure.phabricator.com/D20562 / T88655, although these are only tangentially related.)

Setting task status to stalled as per last comment - we need confirmation that this problem still exists.

If this still happens, please set the status of this report back to "Open" via the Add Action...Change Status dropdown. Thanks!
