Merge Request's comments TEXT missing on "Discussion" tab

Summary

For some comments, the "Discussion" panel of a merge request shows avatar, link and code diff, but is missing the text of the comment. The "Changes" tab of the same MR shows no comments at all ("toggle comments" does not hide/show them). But once filtered for one single commit of this MR, the "Changes" tab shows all comments, including text.

Steps to reproduce

  • Create MR containing multiple commits.
  • For one commit, add multiple non-empty comments.
  • Open unfiltered "Discussion" tab => It shows the code change, but not the entered text.
  • Open unfiltered "Changes" => It shows no comments at all.
  • Open unfiltered "Discussion" tab then click on single commit from the commits list => Shows all comments including text.
  • Open unfiltered "Discussion" tab then click on the commit-link on a comment line => Shows no comments at all.
