Preview Ticket Comments
When commenting on a ticket you can update the ticket, but you can't preview your comments. It seems like you should be able to get some kind of preview.

I suppose, but you can also easily edit the comment if there's a typo.

I take extreme advantage of the spell check in my browser! without it I would look even more lame than I already am.
However, as I'm not quite sure if I want to have to preview a comment, but since it jets out straight to email as well, which editing the ticket doesnt change, it might be a nice feature for Rick to add in down the road when he has a weekend off (not like that will happen anytime soon as busy as he is). On the flipside, I don't really get the difference from previewing a comment and just rereading it, maybe its a proof thing, where its formatted you pay more attention?

We'll probably add some preview just so that bad typos don't go out via emails.

More than just typos, if you have complex steps to reproduce or code blocks or lots of markup, its nice to be able to tweak formatting so others can understand what you're trying to say. I agree that a preview option would be great for that.

Preview is really about the formatting checks. Line breaks always get me and other formatting often goes astray. I always forget edit is there.

At least put the 'edit ticket' button in the lower right. Upper left with the colors it currently has makes it really hard to find.
+1 for getting a preview.

Preview is in the works and probably within the next 2-4 weeks.
