Steps to reproduce -

1) Choose a page to place feedback on
2) Place 3 or 4 dummy comments with identifiable content so you can be sure the right one is deleted
3) Click on the delete icon on the far right for any but the first one

What should happen -
1) The comment you chose should be 'deleted' (ie content replaced with a deleted message)

What does happen -
1) The first comment in the list is deleted instead

Darryl, for the record (and to help me reproduce it), can you specify:

- your DB type
- your version for PHP
- browser versions

- the type of group you are creating
- did you create a new view or did you use a built-in one (like group homepage)
- the system role (user, institution admin, site admin) of the commenter
- the system role (user, institution admin, site admin) of the deleter
- the group role (group admin, member) of the commenter
- the group role (group admin, member) of the deleter

This is what Mahara receives when a delete button is clicked on Firefox 3.6 (where it works fine):

[DBG] 4e (view/view.php:78) Array
(
    [delete_comment_submit_x] => 10
    [delete_comment_submit_y] => 8
    [delete_comment_submit] => Delete
    [comment] => 2426
    [sesskey] => aMoL6nFrVmGBphZP
    [pieform_delete_comment] =>
)

and this is what it looks like on Firefox 5 (where it doesn't work):

[DBG] dc (view/view.php:78) Array
(
    [delete_comment_submit_x] => 9
    [delete_comment_submit_y] => 8
    [comment] => 2428
    [sesskey] => U0ymqt3ZsMaYKgf5
    [pieform_delete_comment] =>
)

This change happened with Firefox 4, and is apparently in line with what the HTML5 spec says. It's also how Opera and IE behave.

    Fix comment deletion bug (bug #803247)

    Commit d807b4acf3841ba670d7a66d7a2db628cd3bba00 introduced a bug when
    deleting comments where the first one was deleted, whether the user
    chose the first one or not.

    The root cause was the change to an image submit, which changes what
    variables are included in the POST.
