comment_form_title not working with threaded comments

This tag is supposed to display "Reply to (author)," but it's not
working for me and others who have posted on the WordPress forums
without  finding a solution.

Here's the way I coded the tag:
<?php comment_form_title( 'Add <em>your</em> comment', 'Reply to %s' ); ?>

"Add your comment" displays every time, even when the poster is replying
to another comment.

In what way do you think this does not work?

At present that function only affects the page when javascript is  
disabled.

With javascript enabled the comment for appears underneath the comment  
you are replying to with the default text.

Is this your issue - the difference in behaviour with javascript  
enabled and disabled?

Thanks for your reply, westi. I disabled javascript, selected the
"reply" link and "Reply to (author)" did display in that case.

Now I'd like to know why the blog offers LESS functionality with
javascript enabled. Understanding that most visitors do have javascript
enabled, why would I want a generic "Leave a reply" message to display
instead of the more personal "Reply to (author)"?
