 * there is a jquery bug in wp-ajaxify-comments.js,
 * `jQuery("#wpadminbar").outerHeight();`
 * it will returns object with jquery > 1.8, we should set the parameter false (
   even though there’s a default {false})
 * `jQuery("#wpadminbar").outerHeight(false);`

 * Hi dedepress,
 * thanks for your comment. could you provide an example, where
    `jQuery("#wpadminbar").
   outerHeight();` returns an object?
 * As far as I know outerHeight() accepts one optional (boolean) parameter that 
   defines whether the element’s margin should be included when calculating the “
   outer height” (see [http://api.jquery.com/outerHeight/](http://api.jquery.com/outerHeight/)).

 * in wp-ajaxify-comments.js, on line 15
 * `var top = WPAC._Options.popupMarginTop + jQuery("#wpadminbar").outerHeight();`
 * I tested it with jQuery 1.8.3 and jQuery 1.9.1, the `jQuery("#wpadminbar").outerHeight()`
   returns object and we can’t get correct top value, it caused blockui message 
   box can’t appear in right place. after set paremeter false, it’s work.

 * another issue reported by my client,: when you post the comment, the comment 
   gets posted perfectly but the comment you write is still in textarea#comment .
   I think it should be emptied after the comment posted.

 * Hi,
 * I’m sorry, but I can’t reproduce the outerHeight problems; see [http://jsfiddle.net/9EsHg/](http://jsfiddle.net/9EsHg/).
 * Could you send me a link to the WordPress page where all the reported problems
   occur?
