"save reason as" and "Done" button in non-edit mode in attributes tab

Hi,

today I tried the edit attribute functionality. Is there a
special 
meaning of the "save reason as" field in non-edit
mode? It is the same 
with the button "Done" next to the
"Edit" button. I am able to click 
"Done" in the attribute view (again in non-edit
mode), but I am not able 
to edit any attribute.

ok, now I read the svn log properly. I am not sure if I
would use this 
strategy to add comments to an issue, but even then it
doesn't work for 
me. Scarab always complains about some attributes, which I
haven't 
changed (but I wasn't able to change them).

I cannot find an "Enter new comment" button, I
think you mean "Save" for 
comments?

I can live with that, that in non-edit mode nothing is
savable, or 
editable but adding new comments is still allowed. I don't
like the 
circumstance, that you can add a comment by the attributes
tab. 
Especially in the single screen view it is confusing.
