When sorting comments by Top, you can get a situation shown in the image where a child comment has more comments than the parent, causing the parent comment to be hidden. Clicking "View Parent..." scrolls down to the parent comment, but it's shown without the connection to the child comment - which is very confusing.

I can't think of a situation where someone would ever want to read a child comment without seeing the context of what the comment is replying to. Is there a way to disable this type of situation while still being able to sort comments by Top?

That's where I grabbed my screenshot from and looks like it's still there, but a few down from the top now.
