Reply should look at signature level rather than guessing comment start
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Reproduction steps:

  1. Write an initial paragraph, without signature.
  2. Add an indented signed comment. (Manually, because Reply is not available since there is no signature.)
  3. Use Reply to add another comment.

What happens:

== 4 ==
Text without timestamp
* List item
** Comment as a list item ~~~~

: Actual indentation ~~~~

What should have happened instead?

== 4 ==
Text without timestamp
* List item
** Comment as a list item ~~~~
**: Expected indentation ~~~~

Ending a comment with a signed list item is still possible in wikitext mode (and probably the intuitive way people sign a comment that ends in a list).

Comment start detection will always be imperfect without additional markup, and changing the heuristics will just trade one bug for another.
