Yeah. I was splitting hairs to some extent. It's a fiddly question
that probably doesn't make much sense unless you've recently looked at
QuestionWorkflowView and question-index.pt.

There are six buttons that can appear underneath the comment
box. Different combinations are shown according to the question
state. I don't think there's ever a situation where all buttons appear
at the same time though.

Most of the time a person trying to answer questions (e.g. CHR) will
see the three buttons appear as you describe above. However, I moved
the comment button to the rightmost of *all 6* buttons. These are now,
in order:

  Add Answer
  Problem Solved
  Add Information Request
  I'm Providing More Information
  I Still Need an Answer
  Add Comment

I wondered if you always wanted "Add Comment" to appear after all the
others, whatever buttons are displayed, or if you wanted it to appear
after "Add Answer" and "Add Information Request", but before "I'm
Providing More Information" and "I Still Need an Answer".

It's a minor enough point that I probably should have kept my mouth
shut in the first place :)
