Description (last modified by )
Maybe I'm wrong, but calling get_absolute_url on a comment is redirected to this:
16 urlpatterns += patterns('',
17 url(r'^cr/(\d+)/(\w+)/$', 'django.views.defaults.shortcut', name='comments-url-redirect'),
18 )
In my case this somehow doesnt return the anchor of a comment (so that the browser directly jumps to the comment text (e.g. /slug-of-article/#c123
EDIT: We just need to document that the anchor is lost on redirect in Safari (works in Firefox and Chrome. IE status unkown).

This is a bug in webkit (aka Safari): https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24175
Web servers don't understand anchors because they're not part of proper URLs. Nominally, the browser is supposed to remember the named anchor, and reapply it after the redirect.
Safari doesn't behave correctly, and "forgets" the named anchor. In the case of the comments framework, this means that Safari browsers will end up on the right page but not at the anchor.

previous patch incorrectly separated the ".. templatetag:: get_comment_count" and the "Counting Comments" section.
