Comment (by sainathpoojary):

 == Reproduction Report
 === Description
 This report validates whether the offset bug in the Comments meta box for
 custom comment types can still be reproduced. The original issue mentions
 WooCommerce reviews as an example; however, this was not reproducible in
 current WooCommerce. To simulate the condition more precisely, I created a
 plugin that registers a `custom_note` comment type.

 The bug occurs because core JavaScript expects a `.comment` class to be
 present when calculating the offset during "Show more comments"
 pagination. Custom comment types do not include this class by default.

 Plugin used to simulate:

 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.5 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.28)

 3. Scroll to the **Comments** meta box.
 4. Click **“Show more comments”**.
 5. Observe that the same comments are duplicated instead of paginated
 correctly.
