Subject: [PATCH] Clear the markdown live preview after posting a comment

Setting the textarea's .value programmatically does not fire an 'input' event,
so updatePreview() never ran and the preview kept showing the just-posted
comment's rendered markdown underneath an empty composer.

(This change was already present in the working tree at the start of the
session; committing it on its own rather than folding it into an unrelated fix.)
