disabled comment button on a simple theme (3 posts)

    OK, this is driving me crazy so i'll just ask:

    I have a theme for which the button to submit the comment form is disabled. If i switch theme back to default, the button is ok (so it's not an article-option issue).

    Now, where things are weird, is that the theme that doesn't work doesn't have a specific comments script. It actually loads the default theme commetns script /default/comments.php . How can the same file, with the same backend, result in different outputs ?
    In one case everything is ok, in the other i have a disabled="disabled" that magically appeared out of nowhere on my button. I can't even see the conditionnal writing it in the comments.php file.

    Is the output of this file relying on some sort of themes options ? Are the content of comments.php preg_replaced somewhere in the code ? Why could things be different when I'm only switching templates ?
    Thanks !

    What theme is it? Is it a really old one?

    it's Taft. It seemed quite old yes, but still it works except for that.
    I can see the comments.php template page is used from the default template, yet somehow the behaviour is different.
