For multibyte languages (in this case malayalam), the length of the comment subject line is too short and truncates the subject line. A fix to increase the length of subject fiels is as follows:

The length of th esubject line is defined in the comment table:

subject varchar(64) NOT NULL default '',

You can use phpmyqdmin or the mysql commandline to change this to something higher. Maximum is 255.

You will maybe also need to increase the number of chars you can put into the forms. Look for form_textfield in comment.module.

This problem exists for 4.6.* versions also.

Thanks Gerhard Killesreiter for the above fix!
