With the latest version, a couple recent comments have gotten mangled, leaving garbage text after the title + link.

This may due to a recent change on the SO side (not the script) to allow %hex escapes in URLs instead of discarding strange characters.

e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60442321/what-does-%D0%A1-semaphoreslim-guarantee-is-it-full-memorybarrier-what-we-can-be-s copies in chromium as that URL, but the %D0%A1 part of the URL doesn't show up in the location bar.

[What does С# SemaphoreSlim guarantee? Is it full memorybarrier? What we can be sure of code between two different semaphore Wait() and Release()?](https://stackoverflow.com/q/60442321)%D0%A1-semaphoreslim-guarantee-is-it-full-memorybarrier-what-we-can-be-s

So it's correct output with trailing part of the URL not replaced. Probably we just need to include a % as something that the URL regex can match.

You can test this without actually posting a comment by trying to submit a comment that's more than 600 characters. It will do the text replace and then leave the comment textbox open.
