Since updating to Node-RED 5.0.1, all comment nodes with a `Name` set show the info badge. But actually, no additional info was added to the node (which is quite confusing). It's not possible anymore to differentiate comments with/without additional text added.

Is this an intended behaviour or bug?

Info badge is displayed although no info/text was added to the comment node.

That is probably a side-effect of another change we made - without spotting this edge case.

Can you raise an issue on github for us to remember to fix?
