Comments.Text: Hmm, not seeing the problem there either. Not sure what to suggest further for troubleshooting other than the usual - disable extensions, see if switching to standard bartik theme helps, etc.

Comments.Text: I don't have much by the way of extensions on, and nothing that should affect this page. I'm using Seven, which is a pretty heavily used Admin theme. Switching to Bartik doesn't change it. I didn't expect it would since it's a form error.

  I figured it out - I didn't have a Visibility selected. There isn't an asterisk next to it letting you know it is required and no error pops up telling you that you need to choose a visibility. So it is indeed a CiviCRM issue - it's missing the asterisk and a message letting you know that you need to choose one.
