 * Hello. I migrated from 1.2 to 1.2.1 and since this moment, I have a slight problem
   with pop-up comments.
    When you post a comment through the popup, it reopens 
   the entire post within the popup, instead of just showing the updated comments
   pop-up window. :-// How can I go back to the old way ?

 * I found the solution !
    In fact, it’s related to the wp-comments-post.php file.
   In the 1.2.1 version, your find the following lines at the end of the file : 
   $location = get_permalink($comment_post_ID); It has to be replaced by the following
   line (I just took the 1.2 version) : $location = (empty($_POST[‘redirect_to’]))?
   $_SERVER[“HTTP_REFERER”] : $_POST[‘redirect_to’]; It might be cristal clear for
   some WP guru ! 🙂 I just noticed the difference and thought that the first one
   was calling the wrong url (it loads the entire post in the pop-up) whereas the
   second one really refresh the window according to the former url. Hope it will
   help people in the same trouble ! 😉
