Thanks so much for getting back to me so fast. I’ll definitely try your first solution!

I have the same issue with an ampersand in a category title. Any progress on this?
Thank you!

I still can’t say what it is, but I can say this:

I switched the theme to Twenty-Ten and the problem was still there. I activated my theme on a fresh install of 3.0.1 and everything works fine. So this is definitely not theme related. Could anything have happened during the upgrade maybe?

okay, I tried something else right now: I just copied the complete code from comments.php into single.php instead of the piece of code, which calls the comment template:

the anonymous comment is gone and when there are really no comments the display seems correct. When there ARE comments I get this:

3 is the correct number of comments in this case.

That’s what I thought too, that’s why I changed everything back to zero. It’s 100% the original template file from the Classic Theme. I didn’t touch a single thing. (Although I tried it with Kubrick as well without any changes.)

Anyway, here you go: https://wordpress.pastebin.com/KAPwx7mt
