Public bug reported:

If you export a flac file in Audacity (with a comment tag) and then re-
import it, the comment field is not picked up.   Perhaps due to
confusion over whether the tag is called "comment" or "comments": the
tag is saved as COMMENTS.   Minor impact I realise, but annoying if you
use Audacity to edit lots of flac files, as I do.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
- Create a snippet of audio in audacity
- Export as flac.  Fill in the comments field and (for example) the artist field.
- Now open the created flac file in Audacity
- Export it to flac again.   You will see that the artist field is pre-filled from the saved tags, but the comment field is blank.

Expected behaviour:  comment field should be pre-filled just like the
other fields.
