The new comment highlighting functionality recently broke (within the past day or so). EDIT 2016-07-13: The new comment highlighting works again. However, now there are two fold buttons due to the recent addition of a fold button to the default Hacker News site.

Works on Windows, but not on Linux. At the very least, I'm not seeing the collapse buttons.

Can you please shift the comment collapse toggle to the left so it's easier to locate quickly.
