Subject: bug#64649: 30.0.50; Customize: Comments on face customization not being saved
Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2023 10:38:40 -0300

This cannot be reproduced with emacs -Q, since it involves saving the
customizations to the custom-file.

So, backup your custom-file, follow these steps with a test user, or
something.  Start Emacs and evaluate the following:

(defface foo '((t nil))
  "...")

Then: M-x customize-face RET foo
Edit at least an attribute, like the foreground color, for example.
Action the State button and "Add Comment"
Add a comment in the comment widget, like "Test"
Action the State button and "Save for Future Sessions"
Now visit the custom file: C-x C-f CUSTOM-FILE
Search for the foo customization:  '(foo ((t (:foreground "gray"))))
The "Test" comment isn't saved.

This used to work in Emacs 27, but stopped working in Emacs 28.

I think the following commit introduced this regression:

    Protect non-selected face spec components in custimize-face.  Fixes 
bug #40866

    * lisp/cus-edit.el (custom-face-save): If the current face widget 
is only
    displaying part of the face spec, temporarily set it to "display" 
the whole
    spec around the call to custom-face-mark-to-save.
