Technical
To take in account third party payment extensions using custom implementations of Magento_Checkout/js/action/place-order.js to submit the order, this extension sends
the order comment in a separate request during the validation, before the order is placed. It should therefore work out of
the box.
Uninstall
If you installed this module through composer, then you can run php bin/magento module:uninstall Bold_OrderComment to automatically
remove the code and drop the columns added by this extension.
note: the uninstall command seems bugged and might get stuck at Removing code from Magento codebase: (It worked fine for me on a 2.1.0 install but not on a 2.1.4 install). When this happens you should
exit with ctrl+c and run
composer update
php bin/magento maintenance:disable

See github issue 3544
Alternatively you can manually remove the extension and remove the column bold_order_comment from the tables
