On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this.
Comment 4 Julien Nabet 2021-01-17 18:00:12 UTC 
I noticed that if I'm in comment part and try Tools/Autocorrect, some entries like "While typing" is disabled.
So perhaps it's on purpose.

Xisco/Heiko: any thoughts here?

Some options apply to the edit engine other not. And comments belong to the second category. My wild guess about the reason - from a user POV I'd would also expect that options works everywhere.
