Description:
The column comment field within the "columns" tab of the object editor is not reset, if a different table is selected and the last active column had a comment. The comment only disappears once a different column is selected.

How to repeat:
1) Create two tables with at least one column each
2) Add a comment to one field (or alternatively select the column with the comment)
3) Activate the object editor for the second table by double-clicking the table within the tables section of the Physical Schemata band

The comment of the last selected column remains visible (though the comments field is inactive) until a column is selected.

Suggested fix:
Whenever the comments field enabled property is changed (true/false) the content should be cleared.

An entry has been added to the 5.2.20 changelog:

In the Columns tab of the Table Editor, if a comment was added to a column, or a column with a comment was selected, then when another table was double-clicked to load it into the Table Editor, the comment for the column previously selected was still displayed in the inactive Comments area.
