+=== Sidebar UI for comments was not rendering correctly
+// #TINY-12925
+
+In {productname} {release-version}, an issue was resolved where the sidebar UI for comments did not render as intended due to incorrect styling. The affected interface appeared visually inconsistent. This problem was caused by CSS class precedence preventing the correct styles from being applied. The update adjusts the styling hierarchy to ensure the appropriate CSS is applied, resulting in the sidebar UI now rendering correctly and providing the intended user experience.

+### Fixed
+* Sidebar UI for comments was not rendering correctly. The UI wasn't styled correctly so it didn't look what one would expect. We changed the precedence of some classes so that the CSS was applied correctly. The UI now looks more correct.
