User profile status icon flashes and disappears for comments

Summary

The new icon that represents the user's profile status emoji next to comments currently flashes up then disappears. It should be constantly displayed if set

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a new account
  • Write a comment
  • Change your user profile status message to add emoji and status message
  • Check the comment that you created before the status change

Note: This did stop as soon as the profile message was disabled

Note: This did not affect new comments. They displayed the status correctly
