Hi,
Actually, it’s not a bug, it was a symbol to detect Quote phrase.
If you don’t want to use character ‘+’, then change it to whatever symbol or short phrase you want.

We have made a quick test of JA Comment with Joomla 3.4.5, and it still works fine. It only have problem with jQuery, please use plugin I attached for you.
Additionally, we have limit human resource who are working fulltime on releasing new product, so we can’t make a plan to update JA Comment right now. Please understand us.
