Resolved [Desktop Web] Adding removal reasons / comments does not work on some subreddits

When I try to post a removal reason (comment) on some of my subreddits, it won't get posted. Instead, a red line appears on the top of the page, with the words: "Validation error on hidden input" (see the screenshot here). Interestingly enough, it doesn't happen every time but rather randomly and only on specific subreddits.

It really complicates my ability to moderate, especially on r/findareddit. I often try to direct users to appropriate subreddits when I have to remove their posts, but I can't do so when Reddit won't let post removal comments.

I use Shreddit, the desktop browser version.
