fix: remove dependency array from comments re-rendering

[nperez0111]

Summary

I think that this was being used to allow the editor to re-render if it saw a new comment.body, but the only scenario that I can even imagine that happening is that the same person is logged in on two different browsers & updates their comment on one and has the comment editor open on the other. In that case they will now see a stale value. If we really cared about this case, then we can change the Comments component to use a React.key that forces the Comment component to re-render based on the new comment body content, but I think it is enough of an edge case that it isn't even worth implementing that.

I think you're right. Can you make sure with manual testing this doesn't cause stale data outside of the edge-case you mentioned?

[nperez0111]

I've just gone with the React.key, to make doubly sure. This should be exactly the same behavior now.
