It seems like a display issue since it loads when you come back to that screen the second time, is that correct?

Yes.  
Send comment - nothing. Go back or to another screen, and then return - here is.

There are Glide Tables too. May be that is the key.  
Will test it in detail soon

I believe this may be a symptom of a larger bug. Sorting lists also seems to require a manual refresh in some way. In my case I always select “Favorites” & then go back to the main list after I’ve selected a new Sort option.

I believe it’s a larger bug, that also includes the non-recomputing behaviour of inline lists when you do it like this:

- Use a choice component to write a choice to a user-specific column.
- Use that choice to make a relation and populate a single inline list on the screen.

When you change the choice, it doesn’t always lead to a re-computing of the inline list, this issue does not always happen so it’s hard to reproduce it.

Might be something related to the computation model of on-screen components.

Made some checks right now… On google sheets all the same in new apps

Glideapps hates Chrome? Or me? Or how to explain all my troubles:

It’s not a Chrome issue. I’m using Edge & I have the same issue, both on desktop/laptop & mobile device.

I found something new.  
Comments break on 'em Sort order.  
Oldest first works ok. But when I select Newest first, all comments disappear
